Making better use of ridges
https://oodmag.com/hunters-make-better-use-ridges/
Understanding how they use ridges to navigate across the landscape is one of the most important lessons an Ontario hunter can learn.

What can I but enumerate old themes,
First that sea-rider Oisin led by the nose
Through three enchanted islands, allegorical dreams,
Vain gaiety, vain battle, vain repose,
Themes of the embittered heart, or so it seems.
-- "The Circus Animals’ Desertion" by William Butler Yeats

That's a good article. It was drummed into our heads from the time I was a youngster to hunt high ridges on bright sunny days and hunt low on cloudy rainy days.
If a tree falls on your ex in the woods and nobody hears it,you should probably still get rid of your chainsaw. Just sayin'....

Sound advice, basically playing the thermals.

I am not a hunter . I read an article about bucks can be found on high ridge on cold sunny days. Well I watched this ridge in Ancaster ON for about 2 winters and - nothing. Then one cold clear day again I drove by that high ridge and looked- and there he was. A huge buck laying in the sun high on the ridge. A great sight.

favourite deer spot by far was a spot we called the ridge. overlooked a small stream and all overgrown brush with three fields adjacent to it. it was the most peaceful spot. all you had to do was sit behind a small bush and wait by the deer trails.
sadly, i no longer hunt the ridge since moving. i miss the ridge...
