Hey guys,
I'm looking forward going on my first deer hunt in 2010. I'm looking for some advice. I will just post a few questions and hopefully some of you can take a stab at a few!
1. I live in Rexburg, where would some of you hunt that would give you the best possibility to get a deer? (In other words, what hunting zone would you get a tag for?)
2. If / when I shoot a deer, how hard is it to get the deer back to your vehicle? I don't have a 4-wheeler, so I will be on foot patrol.
3. What are some techniques to use in order to actually get a deer? For example, how much should I scout in advance? How far would I need to be away from a deer if I am using a 30-06 rifle for a clean kill?
Basically, any advice for a 27 year old kid trying to get his first deer would be great! Thanks!!!
