There will be times when main trails cross. There will be times when one sees a confusion of many trails. It is the hunter's job to learn these trails, when to expect the deer to use them and, if possible, why. PREPARATIONS FOR HUNTING We said in the introduction that "There are no real secrets in hunting deer with the bow." All one has to do is to get within 40 yards, or less, of a lordly buck; at this distance no good archer should fail to score a well placed hit. But, there seems to be a hitch to this simple formula. Bow hunters find many barriers that block the way, many obstacles that must be overcome—obstacles and barriers to which the deer make generous contributions. In order to overcome, surmount or bypass these obstacles, the hunter must be either a master woodsman or be on very good terms with that fickle old character, Lady Luck. But, Lady Luck is a Delilah; the hunter cannot pin all his faith on the law of averages; he must stake all his wits and all his knowledge against the buck's bag of tricks. He must, also, bear in mind that very long odds favor the deer. |
