Bears tracks are among the biggest on their territory, so just to see a big sized footprint is enough to guess their presence.

2. Tree Marks

Bears are territorial, especially males, so they mark their zone with visible tree scratches to alert other bears about their presence.

It's usual to find deeply scratched trees because of year after year marking; furthermore, the same tree may be scratched by several bears infringing permanent damage to the cortex.

So when you see that kind of damage on tree trunks, be careful, a bear might be near you. 

In addition, the higher the marks, bigger the bear, so marks above 5 feet tells you a big, male bear is wandering around there.

3. Stools

Bears feces are easy to distinguish because of their size (1-2,5 inches diameter and 5 to 12 inches long) and their piles distribution.

1. Spread decoys properly

Geese don't like to land on wide open spaces, instead they prefer to do it among other birds, but with a wind span between 4 to 6 feet, they need to have enough room.

So, place your decoys close enough to simulate a geese bulk but leaving enough space for geese to land, that may be accomplished setting decoys around five long steps one from another.

Try to give geese a group of fellow decoys with enough room among them to lan and you will see how birds begin to land near you.

2. Movement is better than quantity

A crowded decoy setup will not work as good as one with less birds but more movement.

Geese are looking for something familiar, and usually birds are not standing as statues waiting for their friends, instead they move around, looking for food or just socializing.

Thus including decoys with movement will replicate natural geese behavior rendering your decoy setup more realistic; in consequence you will attract more birds.

But if you are hunting from a fixed position like a blind or three stand, there's not too much to do to keep the wind in your favor and then is when odor killers remain the most valuable choice.

Once you have dealt with odor, it's time to know when to hunt. Feral hogs tend to be nocturnal, so the will be more active after dusk, when most of hunters are away. During night hogs will be moving looking for food and water, so if you previously scouted the area and identified feeding trails and bedding areas, success is almost guaranteed. 

A special word is required about feeding. Even when in some states might be legal to lure  wild pigs, this is not the most ethical way to hunt any animal and might result on undesirable consequences such as hogs looking for human food on rural areas.

On the other hand, all big games have mastered the art  of detecting human shape, especially on high pressure hunting areas where all animals have known to avoid human presence.

With the above in mind, no matter the color but the shape, thus all kind of garment designed to pretend not to be human will work regardless the color, thus an unusual orange vest model different from classic pattern will help both, to cut human silhouette and allow  other hunters to locate you before shooting, and that's a big deal.

Nevertheless recent investigations have lead to the fact that big games, especially deer are able to see some kind of U.V. radiation. 

On this regard, most of orange vest has an invisible U.V. haze for humans that's easily detected by deers, then even when they don't see a human shape neither orange color, deer and other big animals might be able to detect hunters presence due to such U.V. haze.

Identifying a bedding area is a big deal because you will find a game sooner or later; furthermore, the melting pattern may give you a lot of information about animal size, specie and even number, so keep eyes wide open to find such a treasure.

Another good sign to identify games activities on an area is to look for yellow snow.

Yellow snow is due to the mix of urine and snow, so depending of how much yellow snow you find it will be possible to guess the species; something you may confirm by the smell if you are experienced enough.

While fresher the urine the smell will be more penetrating, so if you find intense smell yellow snow remember to see over your shoulder, perhaps the animal you are looking for is still watching you!

Yellow snow is quite usual because most of mammals, especially males tend to mark their territory; so finding yellow snow tells you a lot about animals population on a particular area.

And animals have to eat too; so look for feces and depositions. If you are tracking on mud terrain or regular soil such task would be demanding because there's no contrast between stools and background color, however in snow things are a lot different because of contrast.
