Boren suggests gathering general advice on where to hunt from wildlife managers and conservation officers. Hunters also should become very familiar with the game regulations for deer. The map will help you find good hunting spots and plan your strategy afield. A third way that hunters can increase their hunting outcome is by scouting in advance.
