Or........it can include 'drive' hunts with firearms.
Setting up tree stands and ground blinds....for every wind direction.......pre-rut/post-rut......travel intersections........perennial scrape locations. Lots of walking hunters to stands.
The most time consuming is trail marking with reflectors and ribbon. Works great til an overachiever forgets his flashlight and gets lost in the dark.
You would be surprised how many hunters pay little attention to wind direction when selecting a bow stand. Hint: weather radio.....online weather sites.
Many southern hunters get stuck on hunting acorn ridges.
Western hunters often get lost.......discussing directions (NSEW) gets you a deer in headlights looks, many times. No sun reference capability whatsoever.
East coasters......Always something wrong. Screw the hunting partners, too.
We had a guy sight in his new bow in the headlights....night before he was supposed to hunt.
Enough material to write an entertaining book. Lots of experts.....can usually tell first 30 minutes.
Generalizing, always exceptions.
When in Rome.....do as the Romans do.
If they listen throughout the week.......they stand a good chance at opportunity.
Many P&Y......few B&C.
Timberghost opened a year after we did. They border our property. We are fair chase......they have high fences.
Pat Deblasio had the #55 archery off my property, bordering Case Proving Grounds......but that has been a few years ago....likely down list now.
Please tell your friend.
Been guiding non-resident deer hunters in Iowa since 1997.
Dealt with plenty of 'Salmonellas' over the years. No telling them anything. Coincidently......success rates lower than average.
95% wind.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Howabout we just compare photos.
You are such a bad ass there is no way I could possibly hold a candle to anything that you have ever done, being that im such a puusssy Californian right?
Better idea..go to bed..you might save a little of your pride....🤣
You talk some awfully big schidt...mister.
Ha. PTL. Great to see another real hunter back to posting on the Fire.
No dog in this fight but this struck me funny. So does guiding in Iowa include driving them to the cornfield and dropping them off? Making sure the box blind has a heater? Asking for a friend.
