What's on the sharp end of your arrow is what really counts in bowhunting.
Traditional broadheads offer much penetration potential. These come in two-, three- and four-blade models. Fewer blades enhance accuracy but lessen tissue damage. More blades cut more but require stronger bows for penetration. Broadheads must be strong, well vented and absolutely dead straight. Look for multiple blades .020-inch (or more) thick and a total width of 1 1/8 inches or more for quick kills.
The "nose-cone" heads with smooth pencil-like points are accurate but "push" rather than cut their way in. The chisel-points are better but neither penetrate as well as point-cutting broadheads. "Cone heads" require strong bows. "Trick" heads with forward angles, fly-open blades or spiral designs require very strong bows for good penetration.
All point types must be razor sharp to do their job well. Even the "pre-sharpened" types should be checked and hand-honed if necessary. Remember to balance head weight with arrow spine for the best accuracy.

Late-season waterfowlers need to remember to bring plenty of variable (warmth, thickness, weather resistance) layers of clothing. An old duck hunter once said: "It's easy to take off an extra layer, but you can't put it on if you ain't got it along."

Use common sense on the water when picking baits. If fish are whacking mayflies on the surface, stay away from the nymph. The closer you match their feed, the more you'll increase your catch.

If you're lost in heavily wooded country, the angles at which logging trails join can show you the way out. Logging trails branch out from the main stem. The sharp angle formed at the junctions points to the route loggers use to haul timber to the road.

Wildlife enthusiasts looking for new viewing opportunities should contact their state department of natural resources or wildlife agency. Most states have produced a "Watchable Wildlife Viewing Guide." Not only do these guides list hundreds of places to view wildlife, they give tips to help you maximize the experience.
