Stay in position until dark, don't try to get back to camp before dark. Carry a good headlamp, hand held light and spare batteries.

Resist going back to camp mid day, stay in your spot and outlast the other hunters-tough to do sometimes because of cold temps. etc. but can be very productive.

Learn your area and realize what other hunters do, where they typically go and how they hunt so you can capitalize. Animals will do the same.

Never pass on an opportunity to hunt with your father.
