RE: Another still hunting question
I still hunt a good bit. Everyone is right about the success rate being low, but I enjoy doing it. Also, an injury keeps me from sitting a stand or blind for too long, so there you go. The wind thing is a great tip, whether the woods are crunchy or not. I also use a turkey mouth call, since where I hunt has lots of turkeys who are constantly rummaging around. A few clucks here and there, nothing major. It also has the added bonus of attracting coyotes, if you consider it a bonus. I use an adjustable tactical sling that allows the weapon to hang at my side. It is adjusted so when I shoulder the weapon, the straps are tight, which helps hold the rifle steady from a standing position. I just can't bring myself to carry shooting sticks.
