I am a few years from any of my previous hunting - I am now 46 and never shot a deer. I am working toward/planning to hunt deer with a handgun this next season. My last year has been spent practicing and reading. This year will be more practice and starting to get supplies.
Is there a particular camo pattern best used in Louisiana (south, north, etc)?
Is it necessary to have camo head to toe?
What about scent control so often advertised on hunting shows? I am a smoker.
What about doe urine for attracting? Is this usually used?
Anyone use a handheld GPS when scouting/hunting? What type? Is it easy to obtain good topos for the handheld GPS's?
I am expecting my first hunts to be with one of my nephews. He is an accomplished hunter and will put me in a good place I am sure - S. La. My goal is to be very proficient out to 50 yards ... I don't mind passing on longer shots. I am in it for the learning experience this year.
Any tips or answer is appreciated,
