Reverse Range
by Jeff Filler
Before you get up to follow the animal after the shot, make sure you have the range from where you shot, to the animal. And mark the spot where you 'shot' from. In open terrain it may indeed be necessary to reverse-range to your shooting position to find the animal or a blood trail.

Take Photos and Videos While Stalking
by Jeff Filler
Use your video and still camera while stalking or tracking. Take a picture (or video) of where you last saw your animal, either on a stalk, or tracking. Landmarks that you thought would be unmistakable can easily be lost in the 'blur' of all the others (and in all the excitement). So, pull out your camera and go back a few frames, or your video camera and rewind. There's no point in relying on...[Read More]

They Don't Leave - They Hide
by Jeff Filler
Don't assume that when fall comes, or hunting season, that the big bucks, and big bulls leave. Whitetail deer bucks especially, simply hide. And they hide very well. Mule deer bucks may leave a little. Bull elk may leave, but don't assume they do. Don't assume any of them do. I mean - where would they leave to? (Just another place where, for the most part, they would be hunted.) These big ...[Read More]

Picture Perfect
by Jeff Filler

Otherwise - sure enough - your pictures will disclose this big ugly tongue hanging out. You probably didn't notice - you were looking at the antlers. But everyone else will see the tongue - and ...[Read More]

Take Advantage of Natural Cover
by Bob
I have been using the same treestand location for the past 6 years with outstanding success, normally two deer a year. Its all I need for my freezer. I have found that when fall comes and its time to trim shooting lanes and clear fresh brush, I leave it around the stand. Branches I cut and just let fall far enough to clear the lane. This allows me to gain extra camouflage by using natural cover. D...[Read More]

Attracting Bucks During the Rut
by James Necessary
I have a system I use in Whitetail hunting during the rut that seems to work for me. When I make a mock scrape in the area I wish to hunt I will place a couple of 35mm film canisters (film removed of course) in the scrape after I have cleared out all leaves and other debris. The film canisters are filled with cotton balls and saturated with doe in heat urine. This keeps the urine from soaking in ...[Read More]
