Spot and Stalk is Challenging on the High Plains

High Plains Public Radio | By Luke Clayton

Spot and stalk on the high plains is a completely different game. Here, creatively seek out the highest vantage point. That could be a windmill tower, a knoll, or even the top of your pickup cab.

Support for High Plains Outdoors comes from the Dallas Safari Club. Since 1972, Dallas Safari Club has been the gathering point for hunters, conservationists and wildlife enthusiasts. This year’s convention is January third through the sixth. More information can be found online at: biggame.org.
