White acorns are one of a deer’s favorite foods and are a welcome treat when dropping from white oaks. If this is happening to you, hang a stand near a white oak dropping acorns. Think evenings Since deer feed at night, hunting the early archery season in the morning can do you more harm than good when hunting food sources. You will probably just end up blowing the deer out of the fields as you make your way to your stand. For this reason, I prefer evening hunts. This gives me a chance to get into my stand and let things settle down before the deer start making their way into the fields to feed for the evening. Scent control Around here, it can often be downright hot in October. Minimizing human odor is a must as you are likely to work up a sweat getting to your stand. For this reason, carry a small bottle of scent eliminator in your pack to spray down with upon arriving at your hunting location. Do this in addition to spraying prior to heading for your stand, as you MICHIGAN OctOber 9, 2015 don’t want to be leaving any scent along the way either. Start now To score an early season trophy, it is best to try to figure him out before hunting season opens. By knowing which fields he frequents and the routes he takes to and from them, you can put together a game plan to set up on him. But since the season is now already open, don’t worry. By hunting the types of areas mentioned here, you should be able to figure out a particular buck’s READERSHOT PHOTO FORM Please include this form with your photo.

The guys I know that consistently take mature bucks right off the bat generally know his habits before the hunting season opens and they already have a plan in place on how to hunt him. Occasionally, though, some hunters do luck into early season brutes. Reality Most of the time, bowhunting during the first few weeks of October won’t yield many sightings of mature bucks as they remain mostly nocturnal, but you definitely won’t see one if you aren’t out there. Every year a lucky few hunters put their names in the record books at the start of the season. By careful, diligent scouting prior to the season and hunting low-impact areas near food sources, they have figured out the recipe for success – and so can you!

COPY REGULATIONS: All ads are required to be separated from editorial copy by means of a border or similar graphic element. The publisher reserves the right to insert the word “paid advertisement” above and below any copy. TERMS AND CONDITIONS: The publisher is not bound by any terms or conditions, printed or otherwise, appearing on purchase orders, advertisers’ forms or copy instructions when in conflict with terms and conditions on publisher’s rate card or policies. PROPERTY RIGHTS: Unless otherwise agreed to between the advertiser and the publisher in advance of placing an ad, all artwork, type and other items of an ad that are produced by Outdoor News, Inc. become the property of Outdoor News, Inc. Artwork, type, negatives, positives and all other items created by the publisher are understood to be the publisher’s property. The publisher reserves the right to copyright any advertising produced in-house. ERRORS OR OMISSIONS: The publisher’s responsibility in the event of an error or omission is limited to the cost of the ad. The publisher will not be liable for slight changes or typographical errors which do not lessen the value of an advertisement. In the event of an error for which the publisher is responsible, its liability shall be limited to republishing the advertisement or a suitable adjustment of the billing, not to exceed the cost of the incorrect portion of the ad. The publisher shall not be held liable for errors in advertisement when said advertisement is received after the stated deadline; or when an error appears in advertising copy submitted by the advertiser. Notice of an error in advertising must be given to the publisher after the first insertion of said advertisement. Failure to do so will result in no claim being allowed. CREDIT AND BILLING: The first ad must be paid for in advance, after which, upon credit approval, an advertiser may be able to charge future ads. All accounts are due and payable immediately upon receipt of invoice. PRODUCTION CHARGES: Production, artwork and photographs used in ads are usually covered in cost of ad. Special artwork or photowork is subject to additional charges. Customers will be notified when such extra charges are required. Advertisement production charges are $50/hour billed in 15-minute increments. CANCELLATION POLICY: Ads canceled after deadline will be charged 50 percent of the cost of the space. DISCOUNT POLICY: Advertisers who have contracted for multiple insertions at discounted rates and who fail to fulfill the terms of their commitment shall be liable for the entire amount discounted and any reasonable collection costs. Any contract that is unfulfilled reverts to the one-time rate for each ad that appeared in the paper. Upon failure to complete the contract, the advertiser will be billed for the difference. POLITICAL ADVERTISING: All political ads must be paid in advance. LOTTERY/RAFFLE ADVERTISING: Contact your sales representative for current U.S. Postal requirements PAID EDITORIAL: Paid editorial content is accepted, but is subject to the editor’s, managing editor’s, and publisher’s final approval. Outdoor News may reject any ad if it deviates from our company mission, or change the ad if it could prove to be libelous. No Outdoor News editorial elements can be included in any paid editorial. All paid editorial ads must include the words Paid Advertising in a minimum of 12 point, bold font. All paid editorial will be placed in the back half of the requested publication. All editorial ads must be supplied to Outdoor News by the deadline found in the editorial calendar for each title. The publisher reserves the right to cancel or reject any advertisement at any time. 9 MINNESOTA 2016 OUTDOOR NEWS ENHANCED DISTRIBUTION SHOW SCHEDULE 6 1 0 PENNSYLVANIA ISSUE # 3 Minnesota Sportsmen’s, Boat, Camping & Vacation Show........
