Anatomy and Shot Placement – Kip Adams
Making clean and ethical shots is something every hunter should strive for. In this brief module, you will learn exactly where to aim at a deer from a variety of positions from a deer walking away from you, standing broadside, from an elevated position and much more. We will show you precisely where the vital organs are and where you should aim to ensure a perfect shot and easy recovery.
Managing Hunter Expectations and Hunting Pressure
This module will help you understand how to keep expectations realistic, set harvest goals, minimize hunting pressure, and keep hunters happy. Hunting is fun and setting realistic expectations while not over-hunting is crucial in making sure that everyone has an enjoyable and successful season.
