In the event that John and Henry have a couple of days off and decide to go deer hunting and have not had an opportunity to learn anything about the area in which they are going to hunt, there are certain general principles they may apply that will add greatly to their chances of success.
They will probably drive as close to the area as possible, park their car, and prepare to hunt. No doubt, they will have
driven in the night before and will have caught forty winks in the car. It is early morning and all they can see is hills and woods. Being experienced hunters, they recognize the necessity of climbing the nearest hill and studying the territory through their glasses, locating and noting the valleys, ridges, saddles, etc. They try to locate a stand of oak or a beech grove. They scan the benches for signs of an abandoned farm or a glimpse of a field of buckwheat.
