Hunting Tips

Hunting technology has come a long way — perhaps since you started hunting years ago with your dad or grandfather. Today, hunters can choose from several top hunting apps to help them in the field — but what makes HuntWise Elite the ultimate tool for hunters?

You've got a hunting area mapped out in your hunting app. How do you share it with your hunting buddies?

Chances are, you work up a pretty good sweat (and stink) when hunting — maybe even before you get into your stand. However, one of the worst things that can ruin your hunt and scare off a big buck is when they smell you coming.

We've talked about the advantages of using a hunting app, but how can you practically plan your hunt using one?

Very few things will move a hunter out of their stand, blind, or from the woods when they're locked into a hunt with their eye on a big buck or scouting — but that small pest known as the tick can boot even the most dedicated hunter from his spot and send him home without a buck to show for it.

Occasionally, we encounter something that changes our lives for the better. Just imagine, it was only a short time ago that we didn't have cell phones, and even more recently, the smartphone came around.

Wyoming is blessed with many big-ticket species that hunters dream of taking, including pronghorn, moose, and mule deer.  

Georgia provides endless opportunities for hunters looking to enjoy varied environments and species. Whether chasing whitetail deer in the fall across the Blue Ridge Mountains or duck hunting on calm and quiet mornings, there's something for every type of hunter.

To find public hunting land, start by identifying federal and state-owned lands like WMAs, BLM land, and national forests. Then use mapping tools to analyze terrain, access points, and hunting pressure.

To find private hunting land, use mapping tools to research properties that meet your hunting criteria, identify land ownership, and contact landowners to request permission to scout and hunt. Hunters can also network with other hunters or explore hunting leases to gain access. The best opportunities often come from building relationships with landowners over time.

From the pure, demanding wilderness of the hardwood delta to fertile agricultural lands rife with upland birdlife and other game, Mississippi is a diverse region offering something for every type of hunter. 

Many hunters prefer hunting above the ground. During deer season, this elevated position can give you an advantage over conditions on the ground that could spook a big buck cruising into your sights – whether it’s your scent or even the slightest movement at eye level that sends him running.
