Can you train your dog, sight in your rifle or sharpen a knife? Things like that use to be guy things but outdoor single moms are learning these things to the point they can outdo the guys. Well this is not a battle of the sexes, it’s a questioner if you can do anything for yourself without having your hand held by a guide.
I thought I would show you a really good knife for example. But if you are going to own a fine blade you have to know how to hone it like a razor. Go find a Barber and have him show you how to sharpen a straight razor. Watch, listen and learn.
If I told you I can zero a rifle in 1 to 3 shots in less than 10 minutes with no fancy tools; you wouldn’t believe me. If I told you one of the best deer attractants is common imitation vanilla extract, or you can call a turkey with a mason jar and a bread knife and never make the sound of a turkey you wouldn’t figure it out in a million years.
Can you totally prepare a big game animal from trigger pull to freezer. How about looking at the moon or horses and tell when is the prime time to Deer Hunt. Do you know how to find your way by the Sassafras plant? Do you know how to judge range by looking at parts of animals?
The best deer cover scents are found at feed stores and smoke shops. If I told you what they were once again you wouldn’t believe me. Other individual outdoor thinkers have figured out how to fool a Deer’s nose, it’s not all that hard really with the right stuff. It might be cutting edge technology or something so far out of the box and simple no one would ever believe it.
So if you see something here you want to know you have to ask. Maybe you already know but now is the time to share…Pass it on.
