There are many ways to sneak up on your trophy game animal. There are also several ways to give yourself an advantage.
Camouflage is very helpful when stalking weary animals. Scents that cover or mask your odor are another precaution worth using when after your trophy. Weather and noise are other senses that if masked can help you or hurt you when you are hunting.
Camouflage is the top priority when you are hunting weary animals. If you can block the outline of your body so you do not stand out it will help you get closer to your animal. If you can blend in with your surroundings you have won the battle. Camouflage comes in many patterns and colors. It can range from tans and greens to white used in winter when there is snow. Camouflage is patterned so it will break the outline of the human body, this also makes it harder for an unsuspecting animal to pick up the body.
Scents like musk or masking scents made with fox urine help keep you covered and not smelled by your prey. These animals generally have keen sense of smell and will pick up your odor if you do not mask it. Using the wind can also be advantageous when covering your scent.
Noise is another way you can be caught when still hunting big game. The wind is one way of covering noise made by you when moving through the woods after your target. Soft shoes or moccasins can be an advantage in noisy conditions. Stop and move slow when stalking your prey. If you follow these simple tips you will get better and closer shots at your trophy.
