A team, each of which knows the country, can work to agood advantage in some instances. We have pointed out that a lone hunter has a slim chanceof successfully stalking a bedding ground; a team has a muchbetter chance. We will assume that John Q. Bowhunter and Henry Archerhave teamed up to hunt the area mentioned earlier in thischapter. Both of them know the country, the feeding grounds,and the bedding places as well as water courses and trails.Both are experienced hunters; they know about wind, direc-tions, and distances, etc. It is past mid morning and they know that deer are bedded at this time of day. They first establish wind direction and then plan for John to approach the bedding ground upwind while Henry circles the objective to a position where he can advance downwind. They know the approximate distance and know about the time required to reach the grounds. They establish a timetable and plan for John to arrive at 10:30. Henry, in the meantime, will have advanced to a position where the wind will carry his scent in the direction of the deer. John blows his call, making three casual notes, which is the signal that he is ready for Henry to advance. |
