Is it necessary to be there before daylight? Try this different approach during firearms deer season

3 Comments / Discussions, Featured, Features, Home Page News, Hunting, National Hunting, Ohio /

For most of my deer hunting career, I made sure to get to my tree stand, ground blind, or cushion at my hunting location while under the cover of darkness during firearms season.
The rationale was to give nearby deer time to forget about any noises that I made, allow my scent to dissipate, cool down from my walk, organize my equipment, and get quiet well ahead of legal shooting time.
