Hunting is one of the fastest growing sports in America. People throughout the ages have hunted for different reasons. Some people hunt for food, others for sport.
Using camouflage clothing is an essential part of hunting. Choosing the right pattern can be confusing. Selecting a pattern that matches your surrounding area is best. A pattern that is too busy will result in your target picking you out of the background. Pick out materials that are quiet when scratched.
Hunters often decide to wear or use ground cover scents. They come in a variety of flavors including earth scent, fox or doe urine. Using scent free clothing and soap can help the cover scents work better. Animals can detect human scents very quickly.
Camouflaging your equipment with tape, paints and covers will help to hide your belongings. By concealing your gear, you are difficult to pick out of your surroundings. Photographers use this technique as well.
Speed scouting is helpful to find a good hunting area. Be careful not to disrupt the surroundings and not to leave your scent behind.
Nasty insect bites can be prevented by using unscented bug spray and proper clothing, and covering as much skin as you can. Tight clothing around your feet, ankles, arms and hands helps crawling bugs and ticks from getting close to you.
Be a responsible hunter; know your target and the proper place to aim. Make certain that a direct shot is possible. Be confident and certain that nothing is behind where you are aiming. When in doubt don’t shoot.
