Hopefully if we share some of our own "tricks of the trade" it will be beneficial to a lot of folks here. Here's a few from me...

Use a small balloon (or fax simile) on the end of your Muzzleloader to keep out moisture during inclement weather.

After taking a compass reading before entering the woods, write the OUT direction on the plam of one hand...ie....OUT NE. That will avoid confusion as to .."did I go in NE or do I come out NE".

Please feel free to include some of your own....
