Wanted to take a minute to publicly thank Fred Asbell for his book on Stalking and Ground Hunting. He has changed me (back) to hunting the way I did in the 1960's. I thought it would be more difficult. But, it's actually easier. However, like anything else, you have to learn a few things along the way. And that took a while to perfect.
Took a beautiful big 8 pt. Whitetail on a Stalk two years ago by using the pattering of the rain to hide sound and the wet ground to minimize my sound. Walked right up on him as he slept.
Made a quickie ground blind this last Saturday out of the center of a growth of golden rod, because there were no good trees close enough for a treestand. (Besides, it was quicker and easier than a treestand). Popped a nice doe for the freezer two hours later at 12 to 13 yards. Seemed like I was taking candy from a baby, it was so easy.
His book should be owned by everyone. Made more out of my hunting.
Thanks again, Fred.
