nah..fire a shot in area and you wont see a deer for a week...oh hang on its not the late 70s anymore.
the older I get,the less distance I travel and the slower I do it...and you know the kicker??? I see more animals.
mate n I shot two spikers on west coast river bed...approaching them we found 3...one had been shot days earlier and not found by someone else.
mate n I walking out of hunting area,put down our bags n coats,walked along a neat wee creek for a sneaky wee look...its all of about 500 yards back up into the bush..we wandered back out and had a deer bark at us from 40-50 yards behind our bags...the hua had sneaked down to have a look/sniff.
last spring I missed an easy stag not far from wagon....hour later saw 3 deer in paddock,couple of hours later shot yearling within 100 yards of where missed stag...couple of hours after that I shot ANOTHER yearling in same spot....
and I hunt with a dog so double the scent.
sitting and watching is way under rated.
