Getting started on White Tail

[Swichback]

35 years old, passionate about getting into hunting white tails. I’ve been doing a lot of research over the last couple of years and I’m looking to put boots on the ground this coming hunting season. Mainly looking at public land that I’m going to start scouting now.

Any practical tips for success? Don’t have anyone to teach me the ropes so online learning is what I’ve relied on.

Spend time in the woods. If you’re area allows (legally and logistically) get a climbing treestand or get comfortable being mobile and don’t be afraid to move locations, on a macro and micro level.

Be conscious of the wind, but also pay attention to how the deer are moving in that specific wind pattern. Also, when the weather app tells you what the prevailing wind is, see for yourself what the wind is actually doing at your stand or on your property. It makes a difference sometimes.
