Feb 21, 2010, Forget the Wind?

Reading a forum about scent free clothing I realized (again) there is more than one way to do something. One contributor said he doesn't pay any attention to the wind at all, and he gets deer every year. That got my attention!

How does he do it? He's a rifle hunter who climbs at least 25 feet high when he hunts. That could work at rifle ranges if he doesn't walk in on the deer trails. Even the super nose of a whitetail could be defeated if your high enough, and distant enough.

If he enjoys hunting that way, great! I would rather make the game more challenging. How much challenge is up to the hunter. I always say, "If I was hungry; I wouldn't hunt the way I hunt."

Feb 15, 2010, Scent Free Clothing

This was my answer to a new hunter who ask if he had to have scent free clothing to bow-hunt.

Plan your moves, where you are going. Which really means where your leaving scent, and where your scent will be going downwind. Don't rub or touch anything more than necessary. Don't move around any more than necessary or spread your scent over a greater area than necessary.

If the wind changes direction you are busted, find a new location. Young uneducated deer may come from downwind even if you stink, but don't count on it. Mature deer, almost never, and usually the wind is so strong it blows away your scent; a tornado.

You will always have some scent, no matter what you do. Special clothing, cover scents... may buy you an extra second or two at times. If you have the money, or want to go to the trouble of having less scent, it may help, it could be worth it at times.

Feb 10, 2010, Turkey and Some Other Thoughts

With deer season over you may be more focused on work, business, family... This is good, and necessary for most us.

It's also good time to do some varmint hunting, to learn some new skills, to refine your gear...

Turkey Season is coming soon. Do you have everything ready, do you need to change or add something. Pattern a load, replace a decoy, practice calling, talk to a land-owner, find a new place to hunt...

Feb 7, 2010, February!

My wife and I sometimes laugh about February. Our first year together, she cooked something... we both tried to eat it, but looked at each other laughing about how bad it tasted. "Maybe we could try it again next February," I said. Anything, food or otherwise not great from that day on was to be saved for February. It was only humor, but February is at the bottom of my favorite month list.

Yuck! Time to get some of those February things done. Dream about spring, turkey season, fishing, warmer...My best advice; remember February 'is' the shortest month.

Seriously! It's a good time to put something on this website: Write about your hunts, a product review, your February ideas... This link is to the "Contact Me" page.
