GEARING UP FOR 1ST DAY ARCHERY IN KEYSTONE STATE (OCT 5)
Hi, Everyone:
It's that time of year the leaves are changing colors, we have been checking our trail cams trying to pinpoint that monster buck. I have included a list of things to do make sure your ready for this archery season (2013).
1. Try hanging some mock scrapes. I prefer using BUCK FEVER DEER SCENTS. Make sure you wear rubber gloves and boots. #1 SCENT CONTROL.
2. Try some rattling especially on surrounding posted property. Just make sure you go by the rules and stay on government or state lands.
3. Try using a buck decoy especially at the beginning of season along with some grunting and rattling.
4. Locate the bedding and feeding areas.
5. Always have a back-up plan in case the wind isn't in your favor, so make sure you have a few stand sites for different days.
6. Never go in after a MONSTER BUCK, if the wind isn't in your favor instead hold off til a day the wind is in your favor to hopefully slay that Monster.
7. Make sure you wash all your hunting clothes. I use BONE COLLECTOR CLOTHES WASH (DICKS SPORTING GOODS).
8. Always use cover scent, I prefer using Earth Scent Wafers and Primos Control Freak or Bone Collector Fall Blend. I will also use fox or raccoon urine on bottoms of my boots.
9. Make sure you are out hunting during Full Moon, which starts near or on Oct. 16 this season.
10. GOOD LUCK EVERYONE.
