RE: My first time hunting - couple questions
Hi
Eric Welcome to the board! Your questions can mostly be answered by checking out the search feature, which you might want to use to get your feet on the ground.
I usually stay in the same place for the day,and change after at least two days if no action. Neutral soaps for your body and clothing are crucial, unless you're hunting in a strong wind and you're down wind. Tree stands, well placed help on the human scent aspect and give you a broader view ( and, as you're shooting down, a safer shot). there are numerous answers to your your broad based questions and I do suggest you run through the search feature of this board to get a general understanding . Good luck!
