Why are you not seeing game?
Pick what is going wrong in the field and we will walk through the likely reasons - in rough order of how often they are to blame - with a fix for each. The one habit that fixes more hunts than any other: play the wind, every single time.
Fair-chase hunting is about clean, ethical kills - when a shot is not right, the answer is to pass. Always confirm your zero, know your effective range, give a hit animal time, and follow every local law, season and tag requirement. These are starting points; the animal and the conditions always have the final say.
