This beautiful young woman is my daughter! I am so proud of her!
You done good, and she has done well to listen and learn from her dad. Every person we can get into the outdoors, whether to hunt, fish, camp etc, is a plus, to get women involved is even better.
This is my strategy most of the time. I enjoy scouting as much as I do the actual hunting part. Identify acorn trees and look for sign of feeding and how heavy they're feeding on them. Follow trails that lead from those trees or area of trees and see if you can find bedding cover. After season walk, walk , and walk some more and identify areas of rubs or scrapes. A great tool is OnX so you can mark all the sign and locations for later use.
Good job Dad! Actually learning to hunt is something that cant be taught from a book or reading online, not really. Its more of an instinct that comes from experiences and filing those away to use in the future. People ask me all the time, "why put a stand here?" "how did you know that turkey was going to do that?" I cant put that stuff into words, its more of an instinct. However after they ask me that I can usually stop and walk them through the process. If Dad, youre successful at hunting, get that young lady in the woods and walk her through the whole setups, decisions, etc... that tell you to hunt a spot, make a move, etc.... She needs to learn this stuff for herself. I took my sons with me everywhere I went from the time they were big enough to go and now they are both grown men, men with the knowledge and ability to be successful at hunting anything anywhere. Id put them up against anybody when it comes to being able to make things happen. It takes time to get to that point and we never stop learning.
