Gentlemen,
I have never hunted from a stand or fixed position (well, at least for animals anyway).
This weekend, I will be using a crssobow for the first time. I will also be hunting on a new WMA on public land.
My challenge is not unique. I will not have the luxury of scouting beforehand and also have no experience trying to get a deer within 30 yards.
Can you give me the most immediate things I should look for from a good position? I realize that I must pay attention to smell and always position myself upwind, I must find a well traveled lane, obviously all the standard hunting things apply but can you give me a precise checklist to run through miy mind when looking for a good crossbow stand?
This is important to me as I want to branch out and learn certain things that I have never experienced when hunting. I will pass everything I gain to my son.
I appreciate your help.
