Thread: What am I doing wrong???

Its the looking that counts.

Deer seldom look up hill, so use that as an advantage. I'm always trying to get an elevation advantage on deer and hunt down or across. I stop often and do a lot of looking through my binos. Look for little things, not big things - the flick of an ear, a patch of brown, a flick of a tail, a moving branch. Then show some patient and clearly identify it as an animal. If you see something little or obscure that could be an animal mark it in your mind and go back to it from time to time as you glass other areas or aspects. See if its moved or changed shape.

Even during the most unlikely times of the day deer will get up for a stretch or a nibble and you need to be on hand and aware for those moments. Deer will move about to another aspect when a change of weather is coming too. Be alert to these sorts of things.
