i prefer to slip thru the woods instead of sitting. after a good rain one can move a little faster, but the faster one moves the easier it is for the sq to spot you.

2-3 slow steps then scan in front and both sides. go slow and keep all movement to a minimum when preparing for the shot.

camo clothes, incl. head net/mask and gloves. i hunt my land so i never wear any orange.

accurate/scoped 22 (with a suppressor and shooting sub sonic hollow points) allows me to kill 5 or more from the same tree when they are cutting good.

as fall/winter progress, move even slower (and practice those 50 yard shots) due to less leaves on the trees.

or find a den tree and pop em' as they come out to warm up/feed. if i plan to sit and wait, i carry a standard throwable boat cushion (the type from any wmt. with straps on 2 sides) that is covered with some type of quiet cloth.



have fun!
