My blind was set up on the edge of my farmland. I often spend nights out there especially during elk season because the elk come out of a Provincial Park and feed on the crop in the middle of the night and stay well into the morning. I am not allowed to hunt them in the Provincial Park without being drawn. The most effective way to morning hunt them is to go in that evening and sleep over night so that you do not spook them back into the park when u walk into the field in the morning. Walking thorugh canola stubble is not the quietest task in the world. I never had my gun loaded because i kept dozing off and on and i really never thought it was a good idea, and also illegal.
