Thread: WARO - anyone got advice earned through recent experience?

Hmmm - I've hunted a few supposed WARO areas in the past and recently, usually blissfully unaware that it had been "attacked" untill I got in there. My advice is not to give it too much thought, go the places that capture your imagination and have a history of good animals.

If you are not seeing animal where you expect too then its possibly WARO, however that doesn't mean the animals/trophies are not there, it just means they have modified their behaviour (in response to WARO pressure) and you need to modify your approach accordingly. My take is that its mostly a time thing (the one thing most visitors are short of unfortunately) to figure out where the animals are and what their habits are.

Having said this be aware I'm an "armed tramper" and get most of my pleasure from pushing up a new (to me) valley or untraveled spur, more avid hunters may see it differently.

PS - I'm always happy to share what I know (bugger all some will say) with visitors, they can PM me
