With the archery season just around the corner, good hunters are probably scouting for the best hunting grounds.
But the most experienced hunters are most likely shopping for the best clothes for hunting.
It’s quite unfortunate that this is the most overlooked aspect when preparing for the hunting season.
There is more to dressing correctly for the hunting grounds than just merely putting on your favorite pants.
Hunting is an age-old activity that has evolved immensely due to man’s ability to develop state-of-the-art weaponry.
Today, the rifle and the crossbow are the commonest among avid hunters. But which one is better?
Which one offers the hunter value for their time in the woods?
It would be unfair to pick one over the other without first trying to get the pros and the cons of each.
The topic of whitetail deer hunting in windy conditions causes a controversy whenever the debate arises.
To some, deer are the most elusive animals in the woods.
They attribute this to their crafty behavior and ability to use the wind to their advantage.
Based on this premise, these hunters believe that hunting in the wind is pure wastage of time since the prey will always detect the predator a few hundred yards away and take the necessary precautionary measures.
Most hunters in this school of thought will frankly tell you that deer don’t move in the wind, which makes it even harder to make a catch on these days.
Most hunters grab their bows and guns only when the weather is conducive for human movement, that is, in warm weather.
Like other human beings, hunters also like comfort.
They want to feel warm in the winter, cool in the summer and dry when the rain takes over the show.
Since we tend to avoid being out in the woods in bad weather, we are also of the idea that deer also have the same feeling.
We convince ourselves that they are very inactive around this time and probably in their bedding.
