While their populations are large, deer are still one of the most alternately frustrating and exhilarating game animals to hunt. One thing that makes this animal so difficult to get is twofold. Their sense of smell is so keen and their ability to communicate within the herd rapidly to warn them that danger is near, is razor sharp.

It’s easy to tell when you’ve been sniffed out in the literal sense, as they will raise their heads and point their noses in your direction. Whitetail deer will begin flicking their tails to warn the heard, mule deer will toss their heads and the entire herd will jettison out of your range.

Experienced deer hunters will have their own tried and true methods for bagging a prized catch. From using sprays to mask their human scent, to rattling a pair of antlers to attract an elusive whitetail deer; there are a number of ways to lure these animals into firing range. It is just a matter of learning what methods will work best for your own hunting style.

Skill and understanding the psychology of this animal will go a long way towards making a legitimate kill. A mature buck will usually forage in the early morning and then bed down to snooze until the early evening hours when he will rise again.

If you can get downwind of a resting buck, when he rises from his bed, you will get a clear shot nearly every time. Another trick you can use when you’re hunting is to use your turkey call. They feel comforted by the call of the turkey as the birds are silent when dangers such as hunters are around. A quick noise on your turkey call now and then will leave the herd that you are creeping up on very calm, so you can literally have your pick of among the herd.

Another trick you can use when you’re hunting is to let other big game hunters do the work for you. Often hunters that flush out a herd will send them running and if you’re across the way – the herd will be coming right at you. A good way to enable this situation to happen is to position yourself across from other hunters in high ground or thick cover. When deer are panicked they will look for an escape route and that is usually higher ground or a thickly overgrown area in which to hide.

Don’t be afraid to try something new. If your last few deer hunting forays have turned up dry, consider using a turkey call to get closer to the herd or try using a spray to mask your scent. Get creative and find out what items may work the best and you’ll get your dream shot on your next hunting trip.

Many outdoor activities involve some type of pain or discomfort. Perhaps a sunburn at the beach, mild frostbite when snow skiing or blisters while hiking. Naturally, these types of pain and discomfort are expected and usually the end result is worth all you had to endure. However, in the sport of bow hunting, archery, one may wonder if it is indeed worth it. Judge for yourself.

Most hunters start hunting with guns, until someone comes along and talks them into trying bow hunting. Many times deer season starts earlier than the more traditional method of using guns. That in itself is a big motivation for many hunters, as they will get more time to hunt!

Another advantage is that it is usually legal to take a doe during archery season. What hunter would not like getting to hunt the woods earlier and possibly take a trophy whitetail deer. They look at it as more time in the woods, more chances to get a deer. Simple really. Or is it?

In areas such as Florida, bow hunting season, for the archery pros, opens in late September, where 85 – 90 degree temperatures and 90% humidity are par for the course. Also in Florida that is the beginning of hurricane season which usually manages to dump additional rain on top of what is the norm. Throw in clouds of mosquitoes and you have an almost perfect description of Webster’s definition of a masochist.

Another important consideration is to make sure your gear is in tip top condition and make sure everything is as it should be. With bows, you need to check the string for wear and wax it while checking your nock points, etc.

Be sure to lube all moving parts, dry graphite lube works well for lubricating moving sights. If you use a bow quiver be sure to check its mount, making sure it is tight and won’t vibrate or hum, when you shoot.

As an archery or bow hunter, what are you going to say the next time someone asks you if all of this preparation and pain is really worth the effort? Unless you want them questioning your sanity it would probably be a good thing to answer in the affirmative.

No one has to know that the main reason you are saying yes is that you just finished sitting in the freezing rain, fighting frostbite and can’t wait for the sweaty bow-hunting season to start once again.

When people are preparing for a hunting trip, they try to think of everything that they will need to make things nice and cozy while they wait for deer to come out and eat. All of the hunting gear that they need for a trip to the forest will have to be carried by each person that is going, and if there is only two on a trip, then the trip planning will be more intensive.

Most hunters will use their vehicles to get as far into the forest as they can before they start unloading gear. Some of the gear will serve as shelter and provide them with something to eat. The time span of a hunting trip is going to have a big impact on how much gear is taken into the forest. Other gear that will be needed will be the things that entice the animal to come toward the hunter and the weapons that the hunter will need to kill it.

Some hunters prefer a shelter that is lightweight because at times they will find it necessary to rest in a tree. A camouflage tarp is rainproof and lightweight. Tarps and any type of parachute material makes it easy for a hunter to carry it up and down trees with ease and the handy tote bags that come equipped with a shoulder strap make toting these coverings from the car to the forest easy as well.

Many hunters will choose to eat small animals for their evening meal. The meat of squirrels, opossums and snake make great additions to a meals-ready-to-eat package that only needs water to cook it. An MRE is a favorite staple of any hunting lodge because these ready meals will keep for many years before they will need to be replaced. The variety of the ready meals is also good and hunters like variety in their dining no matter what location they are dining.

The tools hunters use will differ with the type of game that they are hunting. If they are hunting whitetail deer then they might choose to carry deer antlers with them. There are many calls that can be purchased to mimic the sound of ducks and geese and there is many types of grains that can be left in the woods to entice deer to eat in that specific hunting area.

Every hunter will have at least one good cutting knife. Other hunters prefer to bring an multiple tool kit that is very handy and attaches to their side and is made to hang on the belt. Every hunter tries to leave the forest as they find it, and many hunters will wait to skin deer but others will not. Whatever remains emit a human scent are sure to keep deer from coming to that area to eat so hunters check the site several times when they are ready to pack up and leave.

Some hunters have a urge to hunt that might be stronger than other hunters. This is because they choose to hunt migratory birds each season and must develop a great deal of patience waiting for that season to approach. They might occasionally venture out with a few hunting buddies and kill a deer or two, but their passion is hunting ducks and geese because they love the taste of their meat.

To fill in some time while they wait, many migratory bird hunters will spend a great deal of time perfecting the duck calls that will aid them when the migratory bird hunting season finally opens. They will use a variety of calls and produce a variety of sounds to make sure that they are ready when the first birds pass over their house.

When the first V formation is seen on the horizon, these hunters will know that the migratory bird hunting season is fast approaching and they can ready their weapons and prepare themselves for their favorite time of the year. Of course, the hunters will also take the time to review certain regulations that pertain to migratory birds to ensure that there is nothing that will interfere with their favorite sporting event of the year.

There is a lot of important information about migratory birds that a hunter should know about to ensure not only their safety but to know what is and what is not allowed to be shot during any waterfowl hunting season. They might find the updates on the regulations for hunting on shooting preserves quite enlightening and might also consider the Avian Influenza information quite frightening.

The migratory bird hunter might take great interest in the patterns of breeding for ducks for that year and will be able to get a good idea on what level of success the hunting season will bring from the data contained in that report. Some waterfowl is on the protection list and can never be killed and the wise hunter will ensure that they keep a copy of that list with them in the mush to ensure that they keep within all of the specified boundaries open to them that hunting season.

Some waterfowl hunting areas have been closed for a while because of treaties that were signed by neighboring counties and State officials. A hunter that violates these types of hunting regulations is liable to find themselves in trouble on a Federal level. Hunters of migratory birds use the off-season to get current on a variety of topics, and to learn techniques that will help them make their hunting experience more enjoyable for everyone.

Some people are not sure about when the hunting season starts where they live. They might rely on their friends to keep them updated on which specific hunting season is in force at any time of the year. Some people have no idea that there is a certain season for a variety of animals to be hunted and will usually get in trouble when they bring the wrong game in at the wrong time of the year.

Keeping things legal is one of the main reasons that there are hunting seasons established. Otherwise, animals will not have a chance to birth their offspring or raise them into animals that are old enough to fend for themselves in the wild. Hunting in the wrong season depletes the hunting at the source and many hunters are quire studious of making sure that they have the latest hunting chart to go by at all times on their person.

The hunting season charts will also give a hunter an exact figure to use in calculating the number of pheasant that can be killed during a hunting season. This rule is then combined with rules for the number of rabbit, quail, red fox, bullfrogs and a large assortment of other game that continually run throughout the forest at any time of the year.

People that walk the forest to enjoy its beauty will know right away if hunting season is underway in their part of the country. The hunters will all be wearing bright orange jackets and vests that provide them protection from other hunters who might not know that they are hunting in that portion of the forest. When nature enthusiasts see these glimmers of orange, they know to stay out of the way or to leave the area because it is a designated area for hunting.

Some people begin finding hunting season information because they are interested in hunting dove. They will generally go hunting equipped with a hunting license because that is one of the rules for hunting that all hunters must follow. They might find the information for gray squirrel hunting quite appealing because they noticed quite a few of them out in the forest but were not sure if they were allowed to shoot them.

New hunters might not be aware that there are different hunting seasons for different animals that live in different parts of the United States. Some feign ignorance when they are caught hunting the wrong animal at the wrong time. The Fish and Game wardens are up to speed on all tactics that are used by hunters when they get caught hunting in the off-season and they are fully prepared to issue stiff fines that could lead to the revocation of their hunting licenses.

Hunters have never had such a large selection of firearms and cartridges as they do today. For a deer hunter beginner starting out, the decision is a difficult one because there are so many firearms that will do the job.

So how do they go about choosing?

This article is designed to give the beginner some guidance about the most suitable rifles. Experienced hunters will already have made their choices and will probably have strong views about the ‘best’ rifle for them.

It is important to state that there is no ‘perfect’ or ‘right’ rifle for deer hunting. Many hunters swear by certain calibres, but equally there are others who will argue for differing calibres.

The debate will never reach agreement because in the end it comes down to personal preference.

However, to assist the beginner, this article will focus on rifles, and not cover muzzleloaders, handguns or shotguns.

Most decisions revolve around the action and the calibre.

The action is the mechanical means by which the cartridge is delivered from the magazine to the chamber. The simplest action is the single shot bolt action. This is a very popular action because of its accuracy and reliability.

A lever action has a lever next to the trigger that is moved forward and then moved backwards and this action removes the previous empty cartridge and replaces it with a new cartridge. It is a popular rifle from the western movies and is chosen for its speed.

Pump actions and semi-automatic actions are rapid firing mechanisms that can cause problems due to jamming or failing due to not being clean and maintained.

The next decision is to choose a calibre.

The most popular hunted animal in America is the whitetail deer which has a relatively light bone structure. Small calibre cartridges such as the .22 are unsuitable.

Low velocity, medium calibres like the 30.30 Winchester or .300 Savage were very popular and are suitable for accurate shots up to about 150 yards.

High velocity, smaller calibres such as .243 Winchester, .260 Remington and 6mm Remington increase the effective range out to about 250 yards, however the projectile weights tend to be light.

High velocity, medium weight calibres offer the best versatility and are good up to about 300 yards. The calibres include examples like the .308 Winchester, 30.06 Springfield, .270 Winchester and the .280 Remington.

The bullet weights usually range between 150-180 grains; however they can go as low as 130 and up to 220 grains.

They are ideal for the whitetail, including the larger bodied northern whitetail bucks, and even elk and caribou.

The short magnums are suited for long distance (greater than 300 yards) because of their flat trajectory.

The rifles can come with synthetic or wooden stocks, and stainless or blued actions and barrels. This is really a personal preference.

So for a deer hunter starting out who is confused by the large selection of rifles for deer hunting, the best versatility is offered by high velocity, medium calibres such as the .308 Winchester, .270 Winchester, 30.06 Springfield and the .280 Remington, with loads ranging between 150 and 180 grains.

How to be a Successful Still Hunter

The term still hunting is a misnomer as the hunter is actually moving around trying to locate deer. It seems a simple way to hunt deer but is a lot harder than it sounds.

That is why most hunters use the ‘stand’ method where they are stationary in a stand or blind waiting for the deer to come close enough to them to take the shot.

So why is still hunting so difficult?

The hunter, while moving around, has to avoid being detected by:
* Scent
* Sound
* Sight

The deer’s ability to utilize scent is legendry. Hunter’s scent in some cases has been picked up by deer several hundred yards away.

Deer have excellent vision to pick up movement, so they can easily spot a moving hunter.

Their hearing is also superior with large ears and the ability to move their ears independently to pick up sound direction very well.

So the hunter is at a great disadvantage when moving around still hunting.

To be a successful still hunter, it’s important to see the deer before it is aware of you. To do this, you need to avoid being scented, heard or seen.

When you are trying to avoid your scent being delivered to the deer’s nose, the key is to use the wind to your advantage.

You should hunt upwind or across the wind. With the wind in your face or your side, it will minimize the chance of your scent alerting the deer to your presence.

Be aware that the surface winds are influenced by the terrain and so using a wind direction device regularly to test the wind direction such as powder or ‘floaters’ will help ensure wind changes don’t catch you by surprise.

Minimizing your sound involves watching where you place your feet so you don’t break sticks or make other noise. Wet ground is a great time to hunt as your noise is so much less.

Try to wear clothing such as wool that doesn’t make a noise when brushing against vegetation.

To avoid the deer picking up your movement try walking slowing and stopping regularly to look and listen for deer. By stopping every few steps and checking for deer, you are more likely to be aware of the deer before it sees you.

You are less likely to be seen if you walk along edges or fringes rather than in the open. Staying just inside the edge of vegetation rather than in clearings will allow you to remain hidden but still look out into the clearing.

When crossing ridges try to do it using saddles and keep your profile low as you cross over the ridgeline as you stand out against the skyline.

When you are walking around looking for deer, as the vegetation grows upwards, look for any horizontal lines against a lot of vertical vegetation. Sometimes you can also see ears or parts of a deer because other parts are obscured by trees etc.

Deer use their sense of smell as the ultimate determinant of danger. They will usually wait or watch if they hear a noise they are not sure of until they can determine exactly what it is. This can present an opportunity for a shot.

So when still hunting, the most important consideration is to prevent your scent reaching the deer. Hunting upwind or crosswind and constantly re-checking the wind direction will give you an advantage.

Combining the wind direction with quiet, slow movement, and always being on the alert should increase your success when still hunting.
