I will eat cheese and salami when I'm hungry. I'll only eat Gaines burgers when I'm down to brass tacks. As making camp, a good way to teach woodscraft is to play "hunker." You walk for a spell in the woods with a kid and then you ask, "What's the best to hunker down that you've seen so far"? I've seen guys that don't think about a camp until its nigh on dark. It's an old habit, but as I hunt I always think about what might make a particularly good spot. It's a little mental game that helps me slow down in my hunting, feel the country a little better and once in a great while, it's nice to have seen a good spot because you need it.


Hunting success is 90 percent hunter, 10 percent weapon.
