RE: Any pointers on my first trad hunt?
Littlechief- Do what is most comfortable. Alot of guys the first time out, find the angle when not practiced hard. I would as stated before, build or make a makeshift ground blind. This will give you the chance if needed to stalk the deer, worked for me three times last year. If hunting from stand, most is already covered by the other guys, just shoot the deer as if it was a little further than you think.
