    I your serious about hunting then you need to spend as much time as possible to know the area and patterns of the animals. Check the 3 day weather/wind forecast as a plan not to camp or hunt up wind from the animals, try not talk in the area, whispering only unless your hunting and camping km’s away sound travels a long way on the tops. If it’s been raining hard with strong wind for a few days I go out on the last day of the rain because soon as it stops like the next morning the deer will be out in the open sunshine first light drying out and feeding. It’s a lot more relaxing camping out than trying to rush it in a day and doing big walks in and out with a headlamp mornings and evenings. Going bush Friday arvo your got 3 evenings and 2 mornings to get a deer camping out for the weekend if you trust your girlfriend to be left alone that long.
