mattydski 560 Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 I'm not going to give you any tips on shooting,or stalking. Thats your guides job.. But the best advice I can give you, is prepare all that you are taking the night before..Decide what you are wearing, that is suitabe for the conditions. What you must do is be at ease in everything you are wearing. Such that you are not thinking about, are my shoes comfitable, am I about to get wet, am I cold?? etc, etc. Your mind should be focused on taking instruction from your experienced guide with out minor distractions from ill fitting boots, cold, draughty clothing, cold ears etc. I dress like a tramp most of the time, but I am comfitable in what I wear, and know wht performance my clothing has.. Also, get everything ready the night before, so you are relaxed in the morning, eat a good breakfast and drink just enough that you are hydrated but dont need to stop every thirty seconds for a piss...Take a couple of small chocolat bars with you, in case you get hungary later on..as well. As I presume you will be doing a lot of walking!! And most importantly..have fun. Quote Link to post
steviebhoy 0 Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Hope you enjoy the whole experience but i would say if you dont feel 100% confident of the shot then dont take it. It can be a nerve racking thing and the last thing you want to do is shoot into the guts or worse take a leg off. Remember to breath and am sure you be fine. Quote Link to post
