OUTDOOR TIPS CONTINUED FROM PG 2B HOW TO BE A BOW-HUNTING FANATIC A bowhunting fanatic abso- lutely loves the sport; they live and breathe it, not just in the fall but year-round. A bowhunting fanatic remains motionless on a stand for hours until they’ve tagged the deer they’ve been after. A bowhunt- ing fanatic doesn’t sit at home and watch TV. A bowhunting fanatic is outside hunting every day of the season and scouts be- fore and after the season. If they aren’t bowhunting or scouting, bowhunting fanatics are out shooting their bow, fi ne- tuning arrows, going through their accessories, sharpening broadheads, reading about bow- hunting, talking about bowhunt- ing and dreaming about bow hunting. Nationwide, only about 15% of bowhunters tag a deer. Those 15% spend a lot of time invest- ing and don’t give up. The other 85% are not willing or can’t in- vest the time and effort needed to be a bow- hunting fanatic. CATCHING WALLEYE IN THE HEAT OF AUGUST During the heat of August, walleye head for deeper water and cooler temperatures. Wall- eye like underwater structures, which also help lower the wa- ter temperature and are a great place for them to fi nd bait fi sh. Find out what the main for- age for walleye is in summer for the water you are fi shing and use bait that is as close to this natural food source as pos- sible. Walleye can be slow and lazy, especially during the sum- mer months, so make your bait an easy meal they don’t have to work for. Try crankbaits if the walleye are holding at 20’ or above. If they are deeper, switch to a dropshot rig or bottom bouncer in combination with a spinner- crawler rig. Live bait, including minnows, worms, leeches and night crawlers will work well at almost any depth. Jigging spoons and jigs also usually get good results in August. SCOUTING FOR BUCKS DURING THE SUMMER During the summer, buck’s antlers are covered with velvet containing hundreds of nerve endings and blood vessels. To protect their velvet from bugs and things that might scuff up their antlers, they tend to stay Grab a BITE of Cottage Grove R estaurant G U I D E in semi-open areas where there are few branches and breezes to keep the bugs away. If you want to scout a new area or see signs of quality bucks in your hunting area, fi elds are a great place to scope in the morn- ings and evenings. Pipeline and power line right-of-ways are other good areas to look. As summer temperatures rise, whitetails will visit watering holes more often than people think. Summertime also gives you the chance to pattern does. Chances are they’ll stick around the entire year. As food sources change, so do their patterns. In areas with plenty of agriculture, patterns don’t seem to change as much as they do in the deep woods.
