- Plan your route based on wind in your face and sun at your back if possible.
- Try to stay on high ground in shoulder height cover.
- Learn to use a squirrel call and use it to cover your noises.
- decide before hand what shots you will and won't take, and stick to your plan.
- Remember, if you are luck enough to have snow on the ground or are good at tracking and you spook a nice buck, the hunt has not ended; it has just begun! Read and understand the art of "running down" or "hounding" deer.
- Have fun and remember to let someone know where you'll be and when you plan to return.
Good luck,
KP
