Characteristics of an Excellent Deer hunter
Hey folks,
I've been trying to better my odds at being a better deer hunter..Please share some things that you know great hunters do.
I'll start the list and see if we can't help one another..
1. Scout..average Joes do haphazardly scouting..real scouters go out there with a purpose and understand this is the most important part of the hunt. I hunt at a HIGHLY pressured WMA..When I'm finished with my hunt..I've learned not to take the trail/ road back to my truck..but I walk through the tough stuff in hopes of finding another hot spot.
2. Pee Bottle..not sure if it's necessary but a deer's nose keeps them alive. I plan to start using a pee bottle..a pint gatorade would work great as it doesn't crackle.
3.Climb high..I don't like heights but I must man up and go at least 16 '
4,Use a few trail tacks as possible..You don't want your honey hole found by others.
5. Sit all day if possible. I talked to one old timer last year . He had shot his 7th buck.I ask him for his reson for success.He said, " I sit ALL day in my stand."
6. Wash your clmber and harness..wear rubber boots.
Please add to the list.
Thanks,
