COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL AUGUST 16, 2017 3B Outdoor tips for the upcoming months PHOTO BY ABE ERWIN By Bass Pro Shop Bird watching can help your deer hunting I know most of you deer hunters aren’t bird watchers but it really can lead to success in the deer woods. A few years ago my wife and I started putting out feeders and houses for them in our backyard. We have really enjoyed watching all the different birds. It is amazing how my ears have really become attuned to identifying different birds by sound be- fore I even see them. My eyes have also become much more aware of movement of birds in trees and bushes as they fl itter around and I try to iden- tify them. That same awareness of sounds and sights has helped me see and hear deer in the woods much better than I ever did before. My ears are much more sensitive to the sounds of cracking limbs or rustling leaves that can mean a deer is sneaking through the woods. My eyes can now see pieces of a deer I never saw before like the glint of an eye, the white of an antler, or the slight movement of a wary deer. Sometimes it’s the little things in the deer woods that lead to success. Memories with a grandson My grandson Hunter has gone off to college and I miss him. I am sad because we will have fewer times hunting and fi shing together but I’m excited for him as he begins this new chapter in his life. Thankfully though, we both have a lot of great memories, like sitting on his PaPaw’s lap and helping him reel in his fi rst fi sh, or as a 4-year old PHOTO BY ZACH SILVA dressed in camo and holding his Dad’s hand as we head out turkey hunting. There was his fi rst squirrel, fi rst deer and fi rst big buck. Also the time he took a deer with his bow, a deer with his rifl e and a deer with his muz- zleloader all in one year. Then there were all the fi shing trips, including one to Canada neither of us will ever forget. Now he will be fi shing on the college bass fi shing team. There’s not enough space here to share with you all the other memories we have made together in the woods and on the water for they are many. I believe with all my heart that the hunting and fi shing he loves helped mold him into the fi ne young man he is. One of the most important things you can do is take time to make outdoor memories with your kids and grandkids. Mosquito wars Mosquitoes! They love us but we hate them. It’s hard to enjoy anything in the outdoors when they are buzzing around,ready to land and bite. You will rarely fi nd me outdoors without some kind of Thermacell mosquito repellant unit with me. If I am out fi shing, hunting, hiking, mowing the yard or working in the garden during the summer, my Thermacell portable mosquito repeller unit is clipped to my side. If I am camping, grilling or sitting around the patio there will be a Thermacell backpacker unit or lantern close by to keep the mosquitoes away. Thermacell devices repel mosquitoes by creat- ing a 15ft x 15ft zone of repellent around you with a synthetic natural repellent. All units are powered by a butane cartridge It’s Your Subscription. ONLINE which provides portable heat to a metal grill. A small mat saturated with repellent is inserted on top of the metal grill. Heat disperses the repellent from the mat into the air, creating a wonderful zone of mosquito protection. No more sprays or lotions or swatting. I love it -mosquitos don’t. Are you ready? Archery season for those who pursue the white- tail deer is almost here across America. Are you ready? I hope you’ve already been out scouting and are now intimately familiar with the land you will hunt. Have you found deer sign, different types of habitat and other things that will help you be successful this year? If you haven’t scouted yet, you better hur- ry. Scouting should stop early enough to let the woods settle down, long before season starts. I hope you’ve been practicing too. As a bow hunter, you should be able to make a clean shot. Are you practicing in the clothes you will hunt in? Are you shooting at different distances un- til you’re comfortable with it? Practice shooting standing, sitting and kneeling. Enjoy your time in the woods whether you get a deer this year or not. Look at the natural world around you and savor the hours spent quietly in the woods.

Fishermen have learned to use kayaks to catch almost every species of fi sh that swims in fresh- water and saltwater. The majority of fi shing kayaks are propelled us- ing a paddle but some models use foot pedals and even trolling motors. Fishing kayaks are available in open and sit on top versions have a wide beam that makes them really stable. Once you’ve mastered it, you can even stand up and fi sh. There are also a lot of add-on accessories avail- able for them to help you make it your very own fi shing machine. If the thought of being able to fi sh in places power boats cannot and with a quiet, low impact approach that doesn’t spook fi sh or disturb wild- life; then maybe it’s time for you to try a fi shing kayak. Of course when you’re not using it for fi shing you can just paddle around a lake or down a river and enjoy the great outdoors.
