But, for as much as I love hunting like this, it doesn't always prove to be productive. In certain situations, other methods will simply prove more useful; and the more I fight it, the worse off I am as a hunter.
Of course, it took many unsuccessful hunts for this realization to finally break though. Eventually, I got tired of making the hunt such a battlefield, especially on those do-it-yourself adventures where game is sparser and conditions are extra rough.
Today, I approach all my hunts with a much more open mind. To do this requires lots of preparation in gear and knowing which technique to employ at the right time.
Also, to prevail, you must learn to read hunting conditions like a wise financial expert predicting the ups and downs of the stock market. This could take years of experience and knowledge of animal behavior, or you can learn it from what veteran hunters tell you. But, once you learn this, you'll begin putting the pieces together nicely and visualizing the best setups for success. You'll discover a new art in bowhunting.
For example, on nearly everyone of my western hunts now, at least the ones where I know my quarry can be taken using multiple methods, I prepare myself for stalking, still-hunting, calling and ground- and tree-stand hunting. I even pack a mountain bike in those situations where it can be of use to access virgin hunting ground. Packing light is great, but nowadays I throw it in, because I just might need it. Believe it or not, but one missing item in your repertoire of gear can hurt you badly.
During the off-season, I remind myself of all the important fundamentals that go along with each hunting tactic I'll use, too, so I can hit the ground running, so to speak. I'll review any notes and memories from past hunts, and think about any negative obstacles I could encounter. I'll even go through that not to-do list I've learned from years of failure, which seem to skip my mind each season.
I'll think about things, over and over again, and replay one possible scenario from the next. I want my mind well prepared and hot for the hunt right from the get go. Sloppy habits cause mistakes and unproductive hunting, and time is always of the essence on my hunts.
My last trip to California to hunt coastal blacktail serves as a good example.
