Newbie questions: boot mileage vs ATVs, chickens, hares, game?

[Eva_Hunts]

You've got the right mindset! What region(s) are you hunting? Have you tried hunting sage country, grasslands, burns or more open and/or edge habitat? If not, give region 3 and/or 8 a shot. Find a perch over (or under) some open or broken country and glass away... If you're seeing does you're learning! In certain areas of those regions I'm seeing anywhere from 3 to 30 does and up to a few bucks a day.

Another tip is glassing farms adjacent to public land. Watch where they enter and exit, see if you can pattern them, and make a play.

For grouse and rabbits, instead of a quad, adventure around the FSR's in your car/truck, you'll most certainly cross paths sooner or later.

Good luck!
