    When I have gone walking and i mean just walking about in the thick of it, I have spotted fresh signs of deer,
    .poo
    .tracks
    .hair were they have been rubbing or going under branches,even branches of trees have been used for a good old scratch
    .even were they have got over a branch on a track you sometimes see scuffs
    .then I looked signs were they have been eating and on what
    .also sun traps as some parts of the bush have good sun traps in the morning or evening.
    .swamp patches,water supply
    .It pays to sit tight out the way and not to make a sound
    .go slow and where you place your foot
    .make note of the wind before i go into an area.
    .and you might smell one near by - unless that was a mate who did a fart
    Mark on my GPS and look on the map at the start and head in. Also I mark down on a GPS any good signs. Remember tell your better half were your going,then we can ask her where you got that deer from

    And when I get my new scope I shall head in and not see a thing

    Don't do what a friend did with me which was he got out a cooker and did a cup of tea and then smoked a cig
