15 Dumb Hunting Mistakes


By Michael Hanback


These are the biggest blunders even experienced deer hunters-myself included-have admitted to making, along with tips to help you avoid them.

Oct 1, 2007


Don't Put Things Off

The Mistake: Outdoor video producer Terry Drury hung a tree stand in an awesome funnel and made a mental note to return with a second camera stand at a later date. Three months later, he and his cameraman snuck into the spot before sunup, started climbing and nearly fell out of the tree laughing. "It would've been tough for both of us to squeeze into that one stand," he says.

 

The Fix: Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today. Hang that extra stand, shoot a few more practice arrows, sight in a new load, plant your food plots, cut your trails…you get the idea.
