As far as locations go, you have to find an area with a large overlap of WT deer and jack rabbits. If there is an apple tree or some other kind of fruit tree in the area that is a great localized start point. Fermented fruit lowers the animals inhibitions resulting in one night stands. They are a wiley animal and definatly require you to hold your tounge just right while persuing these critters. If you do manage across one, make sure your shot is good and true. A wounded bear looks like a tame bug compared to a wounded lope. They become super aggressive and being already fast they can strike from all angles before you can get a new round uptop. Be safe out there
Lmfao this is good reading as good as the sheep hunter vs trappers vs wolves.
