Thread: Second solo hunt - Kaimai attempt

Go back to the the same spot,find a bit of a high spot with the wind in your favour and cover.Sit down and have a couple of coffees and biscuit for a hour or 2.Watch and wait,let the noise maker made the noise,you do the listening.Keep your rifle on yr lap and ready.
You hear so many story's of hunters sitting down for a cupa,their rifles just out of reach.A deer shows up just 10 yards away and gone,hunters rifle just out of reach.Good luck.

Thanks folks, appreciate all the kind words and advice. Certainly a few things to try and bear in mind for the next trip. Makes me want to get on a walk with one of you experienced lot and just sponge up some knowledge. See what you look at, what interests you and how you walk an area.

I don't walk far now,lazey old fart.I sit in a spot and let the deer walk to me.Especilly around sunset and sun rise.If you walked more than a k,youv walked to far.Years ago I'd do 15-25k walks.Most of the deer I'd see within a k of the truck.Think smart,glass alot,walk less.

Hahaha, I won't say how far I walked then! Although, in my defence the secondary objective was actually to scout the area so I did want to cover some ground.
