Use Thermals to Your Advantage!
Did you know that most of the bucks featured at the top of this page on my wall were shot hunting hills and thermals? It's true!
Yet many of the most experienced hunters I know even have trouble with thermals.
Let's face it, 50% of all whitetail hunters hunt in enough hills to experience thermals and to really learn why you would you hunt in one location in the morning or another location in the evening—or vice versa.
There are a lot of tricks and tactics that you can take advantage of and throughout this Web Class, I'll teach you how to "cheat" the wind and how you should use the wind to your advantage.
I'm hoping that the experience that I have with hills and thermals—going back to the early '90s—will guide you to success!
