Family n Friends Outdoors

No hunting today , spent the morning at the local shooting range . Wanted to make sure all is good for this coming weekend (Opening of rifle season) . I did get some stuff together to take to the property tomorow . The weather man cant make his mind up , so even though me and my son had built a 3-sided blind , I am going to set up our pop-up (just in case) . I want to have it up a few days prior . Always a good idea , if you are going to hunt out of a pop-up , set it up a few days before if at all possible . Give the animals a chance to get used to it . Really , how would you feel if some stranger just showed up and popped a tent in your front room ??? ( Think about it ... ) I also want to pull the card on the camera one more time before rifle season opens . Want to check travel times . This way we can leave it all alone for a few days and let the habitat get back to normal . Remember , while you are tryin to scout , check cameras , set blinds/stands ... try to get in / out as fast and as silent as possible . Plan your strategy , straight in / out ( dont wander around ) . Also , practice scent control ( dont wear greasy work clothes / boots to your favorite hunting spot ) , treat the situation as if you were really hunting . Try not to brush up on or touch any vegetation , so you dont leave any unwanted scent behind . Also , leave the cigarettes and chew in the truck .
