Where
You Should Be Hunting
Larry Norton of Pennington, Alabama, is a member of the Mossy Oak and API Pro Staff, a guide at Bent Creek Lodge and owner of Hunter's Tech Turkey Call Company. Known as one of the best bowhunters in the nation, today Norton will tell you where he'll hunt this week and why you need to hunt in the same type places.
"I'll
be hunting around some type of water in hopes of finding acorns," Norton
says. "The best way to find the best place to hunt is to walk the edges
of old creek banks or wet-weather creeks and look for acorns. When I'm
hunting or scouting, I'll have my API Bowhunters climbing stand with me.
I'll be looking for squirrels feeding in a nut tree.
If
I spot several squirrels up one oak tree, I'll go to that oak tree and
look for deer sign. If I see tracks, droppings and possibly a trail, I'll
find a tree that will allow me to shoot to where the deer are feeding
under that tree and get into the stand immediately. I've found that as
squirrels feed in an acorn tree they'll knock a lot of nuts from the tree
and on to the ground. The deer will be feeding under the same tree where
the squirrels are."
"Another
place I'll be hunting this week is a mineral lick and/or a salt lick. During
hot dry weather, deer love to go to salt licks and mineral licks to replace
the salt and minerals in their bodies that the heat has drawn out. I'll
hunt along the trails leading to the mineral lick. There will usually be
several trails coming to the minerals. I try and pick the trail that has
the most tracks on it, move 100 to 200 yards away from the minerals and
get into my tree stand." Come Back Throughout the Week for More Free Tips...
