Heres a couple more I thought about today.
#10 - VERY IMPORTANT - Go in the rain. It is amazing how well they glow when they are wet and it is overcast.
#11 - Get a good pair of polarized sunglasses if you are going to be hunting in bright conditions or snow. Check into shooting glasses with yellow lenses. They can help with picking out detail.
#12 - Always look near draws or ditches, especially small ones. When a buck crosses very small ditches they usually jump. The jarring can bust them loose.
