Western KS solo public land archery deer hunt

[Dos Perros]

I’m also good at stalking but I always am tempted to rush or force things at the moment of truth. I get this feeling I have worked too hard to let an opportunity slip away and sometimes take too much action or the wrong action instead of letting things develop or a new/better opportunity to materialize. I just need to be a better finisher. Some of that is learned and some instinctive. Those final moments tho when my heart is about to jump out of my chest—nothing like it.

Ya. I think some of it is just experience. Couldn't agree more on finishing. Need to have a better idea of where I'm heading when I go.

One of my big problems is getting too close. Last season I kept pushing my stalks past my effective range and blowing out deer. Could easily have stopped at 40 yards and waited.

My other issue is being patient with glassing. I really need to stay put, but I'm a compulsive walker.
