I found out this last weekend that I will have a place to hunt on Thanksgiving and maybe a couple of days afterwards.
I haven't hunted deer in over thirty years so it's kind of like starting fresh. I know there are some questions I should be asking but I don't know what I don't know, or what I can't remember.
I will be in a kind of natural blind where a tree has fallen for cover so basically sitting in a chair on the ground. My cousin has killed four deer from this same "blind" so it should be as good as any spot available on the property.
I have a difficult time finding all the information I need on the wildlife department's web site using my phone so I still have some reading to do there.
I have been thinking about using an AR but I might end up using my old Glenfield 30-30. All shots should be under 100 yards and I am not used to magnified scopes so its a 1x red dot on the AR and iron sights on the 30-30.
I'm sure that there are many things that I will not think of before, during, and after the hunt so if the OSA brain trust has any tips or general information you want to contribute, I'm all ears.
