I have a first run Paradox (predecessor to the Seek Outside) and have used it on two rifle hunts at hi elevation and then tons around home in the South. I am not a bow hunter but no issues with noise for me. Good system. I like the material.

Use the hunt atlas as a general guide. Look for rough areas where concentration, migration corridors, and resident herds overlap or as close as you can get too it.. It is all just a starting point
all those things in your last sentence are spot on. re success. The first time I went out I didn't appreciate how big the country actually is. You can get by with just decent equipment but the last three things you said make the diffrence
