>>2800527If I had my cell phone on me I'd just show you how I wander the woods at night and come across deer, rabbit, coyotes, foxes, skunk, swan, and even just a few days ago in the TN snow storm I came across an elk trail with massive fucking stomper tracks compared to the average deer.
I have incredible low light vision though and have a tendency to notice them long before they spot me.
I also smoke and use campfires a lot, which has a benefit of completely masking the smell of a human. All of the scents found in smoke are generally found in nature so animals don't notice them as often.
I digress, I just wander, I'm quiet on my feet, and I stop for small breaks regularly.
Almost every night I would have found an animal that would be considered hunting game.
You need to have patience though, if you are following near a river any time of year. You have something that can be hunted nearby.
Actively working though?
As you wander notice things.
>why is there a divot in this hillside with no growth (animal path)>why are the branches broken in the same overarching direction here (deer path where antlers keep breaking smaller limbs)>the water is shallower here and I have noticed what look like old deer prints (crossing area, check back regularly to see if new prints)Most of it is just instinct though man, there is no mystical intel I can give you as most things for hunting are literal scams.
Like camo, deer can't see for shit. What you wear literally means jack fucking shit to them it's all a giant blur.
However they see movement very well, so if you're not a stealthy mover. Wearing camo ain't going to help.
I go hunting in drab grays, greens, and browns and it just works, always has.
What I would recommend is a good pair of headphones with noise filtering (so you can hear ambient/environmental noise) and learning how to just be still and not move in human ways. So when you come across a deer or animal, you can stay relaxed and allow it to go about its business.
