You like those early warning devices too? They've helped me lots of times.

Story to tell;

Several years ago, I was taking my young step-son out with me to do some late season scouting. It was right after the close of archery season here in PA, mid November.

He was 11 years old and eager to learn all he could about hunting.

We were watching an apple tree that still had a few apples clinging on it.

As we were waiting, I heard a couple chick-a-dees sounding their alarm call. I explained to my step-son to always listen for that sound when hunting. When you hear it it means that bird sees something and is sounding the alarm. I told him to keep an eye in that direction. W

Within a few minutes, out strolled a medium sized black bear.

Needless to say, he learned a valuabletip that day.
