As a new predator hunter (I've made maybe 25 stands total) I've now realized I've probably been giving my position away coming into my stands. Walking paths or roads crunching around, crunching getting off those paths to some higher ground area with visibility, and being generally impatient travelling to spots.
I've read on here not to skyline yourself so I've been incorporating not going to the top of the hill but instead almost to the top and walking around. I've also tried getting off the paths and walking edges of woods real quiet but I feel like I'm not covering enough ground.
I'm thinking to let go of the covering ground idea and just be as stealth as possible and call way more often...any advice?
By the way I've shot 1 coyote so far and seen 1 bear charging down the hillside a few hundred metres away that must have busted me before really coming in
