[QUOTE="Red Sparky, post: 853012, member: 37223"] Down here in NM our ML and rifle hunts seem to start on Saturday and end on Wednesday. We get what I call the "weekend warriors". The woods are full of hunters on Sat. and Sunday and then it seems like Mon.-Wed. the woods are empty. It seems like I see more animals Mon.-Wed. when other hunters are done hunting. You can kill something any time but on the weekends I sit on trails that are escape routes. I let the other hunters pressure push the animals past me unless I know of an area that other hunters do not get to, which is usually away from the roads. One of the escape routes I cover is a high saddle that gives me a good view of the surrounding area. Good quality optics save the legs while you can pinpoint where the elk/deer went. So if you spent last year getting a lay of the land you may have some escape routes you can cover without wearing yourself out the first few days. Then go at it hard during the middle of the week when there are not as many hunters out. [/QUOTE]
