How I got access to hunt private land! 🦌

Just scored permission on my dream property after years of rejections! The secret? It's not about what you ask for – it's HOW you ask. Key moves that worked: 1️⃣Showed up in person (not camo!) - built real rapport first 2️⃣Offered to help with fence repairs and predator control 3️⃣Brought references from other landowners 4️⃣Created a simple hunting agreement to show I'm serious 5️⃣Always shared meat from successful hunts The game-changer? I spent time learning about their land challenges before even asking to hunt. One farmer was dealing with wild hogs destroying crops - offered to help control them and got year-round access! Remember: reputation is everything in small communities. One "yes" often leads to introductions with neighbors. #hunting #privateland #deerhunting #huntingtips #landowner #huntingaccess

5 Game-Changing Tips to Stay Hidden from Waterfowl

Just had my best duck season yet thanks to these concealment secrets from Ducks Unlimited biologist John Coluccy! Waterfowl have vision 2-3x better than humans and can see colors we can't even imagine - here's how to outsmart them: 1️⃣Cover those faces and hands! Your exposed skin is like a flashlight to ducks. Face masks and gloves are non-negotiable, especially when you're moving in the blind. 2️⃣Match your surroundings perfectly. I've learned the hard way that dark brown camo in light cover makes you stick out like a sore thumb. On overcast days, this becomes even more critical. 3️⃣Use shadows strategically. Natural shadows are your best friend, but that layout blind shadow? Total giveaway. Try digging a shallow depression or using elevated decoys to break up your outline. 4️⃣Stay still even when birds are leaving. With eyes on the sides of their heads, ducks can see almost 360 degrees. Don't get caught moving when you think they're gone! 5️⃣Create distractions. Motion decoys and strategic blind placement can keep their attention off you and on your spread. #waterfowlhunting #duckhunting #huntingtips #hunting

Drew my first Superstition backpack hunt tag

Finally got drawn for November in the Supes after years of applying. Love backpacking back there but hunting it's a whole different game. Planning to hike in from the north since that southern climb with hunting gear would destroy me. Torn between camping near the ranch for reliable water or pushing north for better glassing country. My regular backpacking setup runs 17 pounds, but adding optics and rifle pushes it over 30. Want to pack minimal water but not sure about sources away from the ranch. The glassing opportunities look incredible but water logistics have me second-guessing everything. Anyone hunted that unit and found reliable water sources for backcountry camps? #Hunting #SuperstitionWilderness #BackpackHunting #ArizonaHunting #HuntingTips
