Title: Black tail hunting question
Post by: frogman on October 15, 2014, 04:58:49 PM: Okay so these critters seem to be very hard to find. Do you guys generally walk up to the clear cuts and walk through on the logging roads slowly or park it on a stump for hours? They seem to really like ferns from what I can tell but any advice would be most appreciated. What is the most productive way to hunt clear cuts I another set of words? Thanks

Windy and rainy days are best.
