Most animals have exceptional senses - this is what helps them survive in nature as well as during the hunting season. When it comes to hunting game, you have to accept that the majority of nature’s creatures have far sharper senses than you ever will. So, to give yourself a shot at, well, having a shot, you need to approach the hunt with care.

Move slow, if at all and mask your tracks as many ways as you can. Remember that deer, elk and similar species can hear even better than they can see, so you’ll need to stick to firm ground to avoid alerting those big tufted ears to your presence. And most of all, keep your eyes peeled. The best chance you have of bagging that trophy is ensuring you see him before he sees you, plain and simple.

A good scope and a pair of binoculars can go a long way toward giving you an edge in the field - so choose them wisely, but use them with care. A hunter with eyestrain is about as much use as a chocolate tea pot.
