Summary

This week on Ten Minute Tuesday we got a question from you all that we wanted to discuss: How can I keep hunting the same birds without ruining the X or pushing birds out of my area? We dive into this one and talk about all the different ways you can successfully hunt birds without educating birds to leave or avoid you. If you’ve been in this spot before it can be tough to feel like you’re putting yourself in a position to be successful without ruining your chances for hunting them again.
