“Experience is the comb Mother Nature gives us … after we’re bald.” But who wants to wait? 

Here's a compendium of 29 tips on everything from caring for your dog to shooting better. They're compiled from conversations with pro guides, hunting partners' advice, friends' suggestions, and my own hard-won experience (I'm not bald, though from all the lessons, I should be). 

Somewhere in here is something you never knew, should have done, could do next season, or might share with someone else.
