Dog gone good "P's" there sir!

I only use three of those.
Persistence, Patience and Planning.

Persistence - if I want a deer THAT badly, I'll go hunting every opportunity I get. Morning, evening or middle of the day. Makes no difference.

Patience - don't just blow a hole in the first tu thing you see. If the deer in view isn't edgy, just wait. Another may show up.

Planning - well, I usually have a plan when I set up my blind.

6p - I'm in south central OK. No big tracts of public land. What little is near me, is loaded with hunters. It's "Archery" only and I no longer archery hunt.
I'm older and crippled, so I can't walk long distances.
I also don't have any large tracts of private land either.

My hunting "method", such as it is, is crawl into my box blind in a known travel route and simply "wait".
