them on their clothing, thus trying to add to their person awoodsy smell. Anything the hunter can do to eliminate orsubdue the human odor will be greatly in his favor. It must beremembered that wild deer consider man as his worst naturalenemy, which he, in truth, is.
The bow hunter should carry a pair of small binoculars.These glasses should be about 6 x 24 or not over 6 x 30. The"six" means the power of magnification and the "24" or "30"means the diameter of the objective lense in millimeters.Roughly, 24 m/m is about 1 inch and 30 m/m is 11/4 inches.These cannot be worn resting on the chest as hunters usuallywear them. In this position they are in the way of the bowstring when a shot is made. They may be suspended from thehunter's left side or, better yet, carried in the coat pocket. Icould never do anything with my hands while binocularsbounced on my chest. I once saw a picture of Arthur Young,made while hunting in Africa, which showed his glasses on hischest but tucked in an improvised pocket that was sewed onthe front of his shirt. This might work out, but I believe eventhis would interfere with the bowstring.
