Kindle Best Seller If you’re serious about tagging the big one, then you can count on spending quite a few hours in the woods. You’re going to freeze, you’re going to sweat, and you’re probably going to wonder what in the world you were thinking when you gave up the comforts of home for a day in the sticks. At least you might until that buck wanders into sight, but if your glasses fog up or you’ve got to pee too bad to see straight, then your day is gonna be memorable for all of the wrong reasons. These tips, then, are geared toward avoiding these issues altogether … and how to cope with them when you can’t.Glassing, or using optics in the field, is full of advantages. Hunters can get up close and personal without as much risk of detection (although if you’re upwind of a deer, you’re risking detection!) and, likewise, have a much better idea of their targets. Optics can also be useful whether scouting or casually observing the local herds, and when you get down to the business of finding that trophy buck, glassing is invaluable. While some hunters will always prefer the old school “man versus beast” style of hunting, the fact remains that the use of technology can really give you an advantage in the field. Some “technology” has been long used and accepted – your handy compass for one – but other versions are newer and even considered “unfair” and perhaps unethical by some. No matter how you feel about the new gadgets in the field, this section will discuss the most popular technological gear used by hunters today, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of relying on it while you’re hot on the heels of a trophy buck. Getting your hands on new hunting gear can be ridiculously exciting. Whether it’s a new weapon, a new tree stand, or a new set of camos, the “new gear smell” can have you itching to get back into the field. Not so fast, though. You’ll ruin your day before the crack of dawn if you don’t take these steps to break in your new stuff first!Here is a list of things covered in this deer hunting book:-Be Comfortable While Hunting-Keep Your Glasses from Fogging-Leather is no good-Foods for your Deer Hunt-Unexpected Bathroom Breaks-Fashion Tips-Types of Optics- Understanding Optics-Tips and Tricks for Glassing-Hide and Seek-Using GPS-Trail Cameras-Using Rangefinders-Unplugged!-Getting Rid of the “New” Smell-Breaking in New Clothes-Breaking in New Gear-Get to Know a New Weapon-Out Of Season!
