The season doesn't open for a few more months but I want to get my act together beforehand so I don't put it off until last minute. Any tips for hunting deer? I'm in NY, so it'll be a close range shot (probably less than 50 yards due to trees). Specifically:
•Shot placement? I'd prefer to drop it where I shoot it rather than chase after it all day long, so upper shoulder shot?
•Scent covers or attractants? Are these necessary, and if so does anyone have any recommendations?
•30-30 or .308? I have an old 336 in 30-30 and I'm picking up a new Ruger American in .308 soon
•Tips for taking down the animal after the kill?
Any info you guys can offer is much appreciated. Thanks in advance
