Fred Bear’s 10 Commandments of Hunting

Get back to your hunting roots and listen up to Fred Bear’s 10 Commandments of hunting!
1. Don’t step on anything you can step over.
2. Don’t look for deer, look for movement (and remember, it’s what they’re looking for, too).
3. Always approach downwind. In the cool of the day, move uphill; in the heat of the day, move downhill.
4. The best camouflage pattern is called, “Sit down and be quiet!” Your grandpa hunted deer in a red plaid coat. Think about that for a second.
5. Take only the gear to the field that allows you to hunt longer, harder, and smarter.
6. A rainstorm isn’t a reason to quit the hunt, it’s a reason to stay.
7. Camouflage your appearance, your sound and your scent.
8. Be sure of your shot. Nothing is more expensive than regret.
9. Hunt where the deer actually are, not where you’d imagine them to be.
10. Next year’s hunt begins the minute this season’s hunt ends.

met him years ago at the deer classic at the state fair grounds. If I remember right I bought a grunt tube that he was endorsing and that thing was magic in the woods and the best grunt tube I ever purchased. Made me a be leaver in grunting in the woods every 1/2 hour all day long.  My plans this fall is to take a deer with my recurve. I have taken a grouse out of the air with it for one of my hunting highlites. Still have not taken a deer with it though
