IMHO blackies are the hardest species to hunt... though none of them are easy.  I personally like to still hunt the vast majority of the time and have had some success. The key is relaxed awareness. Don't give up. Anything worth doing is worth doing well, and that takes time.

How thick is thick? We talking just reprod, or salmon berries, blackberries? One persons thick is another persons paradise.

When i hunt down in the southern area of the west side Battle ground, washoogle, wind river suxion etc.. I ten to tree stand in the morning and eveing and still hunt in the day... I don't think there is as much brush as up here in the skagit area.... I ONLY treestand hunt here... You can see so much more from 10-20 ft up its crazy... you look down into the brush not through it...  If i rifle hunted, i would  found find a nice spot to sit for an hour or so in the morning then still hunt.  :twocents:
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.
