Tip! During the earlier part of hunting season, squirrels and rabbits are less aware of their predator’s presence. Also because leaves are still abundant during that time, squirrels and rabbits will not spot their hunters that easily.

Touring homes can be over whelming to first time homebuyers. What to look for, what to ask about and what is good for resale, yes you need to think about that when your buying, can distract buyers. Mark Nash author of 1001 Tips for Buying and Selling a Home has created a worksheet that you can use with each home you tour. It saves excessive note taking and keeps you focused on what you’re looking for to compare and contrast potential homes.

Tip! Carefully remove your firearm from its case. Do not load the weapon until you are actually hunting.

I created a short list of the basic items you should keep in mind when you viewing homes the first time. Typically when you go back for a second showing you will want a more detailed list of what to look for. Locate a virtual tour of a property after you’ve seen it once to refresh you on features you have questions about.

Tip! When you arrive at the hunting scene, watch what others are doing. If they swing the barrel of their rifle or shotgun your way, warn them about it.
