ghillies 209 Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 ghillie suit up an cweeps around at a snails pace... or be there before they come in to land, but, as you go about things remember where they usualy sit, then as you aproach those spots start looking for angles to veiw, they have amaizing eye sight... oh and things like daz perminantly give youe skin a white glow, and make your cloaths glow to saome animals, i use the cheapest bio i can find, preferably with no 'whiter that white' and the least wiff to it as posable. if you can get your hands on a big peace of cammo netting, place a make shift hide some where ... or / and try decoys.

Jef66 0 Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 Woodies can spot the little white blob of your face at HALF A MILE!! make damn sure u use a facenet or slap on cam cream if yer that way inclined... same goes for any exposed skin like hands. as ghillie says, buckets of cam and Verrrrry slow n sneeky. Best way to nail woodies in my opinion is with a good hide and a few well placed decoys. Quote Link to post
