I'm all ears to any and all tips anyone has about how to get started hunting. I'm going to try this weekend.
First off, I don't own a tree stand. I'm going to be hunting in the Barbour county WMA here in Alabama. Is there anyone here who hunts without a tree stand that has any advice on getting started?
I'm quite familiar with the woods and have spent more time tromping and navigating through them than I'd even like to admit(former infantry squad leader). I just never went hunting as a kid. I'm a long time shooter, but new to hunting. I'm good for anything up to 1000 yards with my current gun.
Where should I start looking for deer droppings/tracks, and what other signs should I look for? Should I just bring a little stool type seat with me to put up against a tree?
