| |  Get Out Hunting Early and Watch That Scent | |
|
Hunting seasons are limited by certain dates and times. Guns can not be fired before sunrise or after sunset for the safety of all concerned. However you should be prepared to hunt early. Get out there and settle in before the sun comes up to lessen the possibility of being noticed. This also allows you to be prepared when the first specimens begin to move around.
Experienced hunters will tell you that the best time to bag game is at sunrise and sunset. Just as important starting early covering your scent is important if you want to stay hidden. You should also never wear perfume, cologne, aftershave or strongly scented deodorant. Human smells spook animals easily, and one of the best hunting tips to keep in mind is to let the wilderness cover your smell. This is one of the few times in life showering later rather than earlier is better.
Also important, wild game tend to have a very keen sense of hearing and anything louder then a whisper may be heard. Even the smallest sound as you are lining up for a shot can scare an animal. Lastly have fun and good hunting.
