RE: Backcountry Hunting Tips
Usually during the mornings I'll sit in my blind or tree stand from about 30-45 minutes before sunrise til about 10:00 then I just can's sit still any longer. I'll get up and start touring the area to get a better idea of where I want to be the next couple of days in the morning and late afternoon. I find that I have just as much success while moving around between 10:30 and 2:00 as I do at sunup and sundown. Then again the area I hunt is 2500 contigous acres that borders state game land and forest land andonly three of us have permission to hunt, occasionally the owner and his son will be on the land also but we usually run into each and let each other know where we'll be so there are no stepping on toes. Living 4 hours from the area I hunt though means that I have to do most of my scouting in the weeks leading up to opening day and then while I'm on my lunchtime walks.
