In reference to chosing your bullet or caliber - known as bush beaters. A heavier bullet or caliber will not deflect when striking a twig or branch. IE:making a 200gr .308 bullet a better choice then a 140.277 for the woods hunter.

Thelighter bullet is always best when shooting long range.

A semi-auto.lever or pump are better then a bolt action due to faster follow up shots.

Speed kills

Bigger is better

The bigger the caliber the larger the hole or damage done.

Everyrifle out of the box is capable of shooting MOA or better.

Failures are caused by bullets, broadheads, arrows, etc...never by the user!


Equipment:

"Forget the wind just hunt!" Scentlok,etc suits

Camo clothing is the most important factor to concealment.

The higher the power scope, bino, spotter the better.

BDC reticles are a must for hunting.

A compass is obselete technology.

You don't need TP in your pack!!!

Game:

Shooting an animal in the CNS (spine, neck or head)will result in a faster or shorter track then vitals.

Head and neck shots waste far less meat then a double lung shot thru ribs.

Scrapes are used by dominant bucks.

scouting ends when the season begins

Weather, moon, etc effect when rut happens.

Game animals don't look up and scent doesn't go down.

If I don't shoot him somebody else will

Leaving an animal who's died with entrails in will not result in spoilage.

Aging venison is a must

Butchering or processing game is too difficult for the average hunter. Processing requires fancy saws &equiment.

A 200 lb deer on the hoofwill provide 150lbs inthe freezer
