Thread: Solo hunting; managing risk

If you are relaxed in the trees and go with it rather than fight it you will be a lot safer.

Im not as relaxed now and do get a bit anxious at times while hunting and it is beginning to erode my enjoyment a bit. Mainly while traversing new country coming home in the dark.

Stick to one projectile rather than carry 20 different ones. LOL. The deer get a bit "anxious" when you are floating around.
