Chapter 6: Basic Hunting Techniques
Hunting Methods (continued)
Posting
Posting involves sitting or standing in one spot. The location
may offer a clear view or a spot near the animal's
trails.
Posting is effective when you know where game is traveling
each day and you're not allowed to use a blind or stand.
The key to setting up a posting site is finding a location
that allows you to freely swing your firearm or draw your
bow.
Ground Blinds
Ground blinds are temporary structures located
on the ground that conceal the hunter. They're made
of everything from plywood to branches.
You should place ground blinds:
- Downwind, based on the normal wind pattern during a given
time of day, such as morning
- Away from the sun
- Where the foreground and background are safest
Elevated Stands
Elevated stands (tower stands or tree stands) offer a number
of advantages to both firearm and bow hunters. (Read more
in the "Special Concern:
Hunting from Elevated Stands" section.)
