Game Plan It
This time of year, the smart birds flush fast or not at all. Walk towards land you can hunt and you’ll have a better chance of bagging any early-risers. It’s no perfect science, but field management — when it pans out just right — can give you bonus shots.
Layer Up
Last but certainly not least, layer up. Like the highs and lows of hits and misses, so does your body temp fluctuate afield. When you get in the thick of it, you might be dripping sweat in freezing temps. Wait a couple minutes and that sweat could turn ice cold. The solution, then, for all-season hunters is flexibility. With layers, it helps to add, peel and repeat throughout the day, even sometimes in the same parcel of land.
