Keys to Successful Small Game Hunting
from: Maxx Sports GuidesBeginning hunters tend to have an inborn desire to hunt, but lack the knowledge. There's so much to learn, experience in the real activity is the best way to get the knowledge of the sport.
Here are some tips to be more successful:
1. Abide by the laws. At all times follow the hunting laws and take less than your limit.
2. Remain humble. Don't boast about your excellent shooting ability.
3. Never get lost. Always inform somebody where you'll be going, especially when you're hunting alone. Look back and study your trail carefully before continuing.
4. Enjoy the game.
5. Identify your target. Never shoot until you're sure of your target; it always pays to be absolutely certain of your target. When in doubt, don't shoot at all but call out -- somebody might be out there and be mistaken for your target.
6. Listen to the advice of experts. Remember, they're more experienced then you and although you may have your own ideas about the game, listen to them because you can learn a lot and they can answer all of your questions.
7. When in doubt regarding choosing the "shot size" to use, select the larger one. Even though there are fewer pellets you can create more "clean kills" from a longer range.
8. Choose camouflage clothing with patterns blending with your surroundings; the colors need to be as close as possible to the colors of your surroundings.
9. Wear hunting outfits that provide comfort as well as materials that don't make much noise or a "silent" material to enable you to successfully stalk your target. You'll also need an outfit with several pockets in which to carry to water bottles, mini emergency kits and snacks enough to last for one day.
10. Before you head out to the hunting grounds, familiarize yourself with your rifle.
11. Know the movements as well as the habits of your target so you're familiar with them and can determine the proper tactics to use.
12. Practice, practice, practice and more practice!
In time and continuous "in the field" practice, your "comfort level" increases and the "beginning hunter" becomes a more experienced hunter. Knowledge and skill shouldn't end there -- it should be shared with others to guide them as they begin their hunting journey.
