Thread: Hunt help

Hi John,
You will probably find most hunters like to keep their good hunting spots to themselves as they can be hard to come by. I have found it almost impossible to get onto private land accept for one time when a guy took me out and I made the most of it by shooting a nice little fellow spiker.

I have had to stick to Doc land and have had success due to perseverance, it sounds like you are going to the right places you just need to do things a bit differently, for example spend plenty of time glassing animals with the bino's. Find a couple of clearings and just sit over looking them right up to dark and see if any animals come out, look for a sunny face during the day with plenty of native, the deer like to come out for a nibble but still like a bit of cover.

Once you know where the animals are you can then plan your attack, I have been out the last 6 times and haven't shot anything however I have been watching some deer feeding in a clearing a bit further in so the next time I go out and now that my freezer is getting empty I am going to sit over that spot about 300 meters from them and all going well I should be bringing home some meat.

Keep trying John and you will get them and it will give you great satisfaction knowing you have done it all by yourself
