If you're ready to put all of your hunting skills to the test, go after a whitetail deer. These animals are a true challenge to hunt and have challenged many hunters. They can smell you, hear you and are constantly on the lookout for danger. Sneaking up on a buck is a real feat, but if you know a few tricks, it can be done.

Along with experience, you can use a good number of items and techniques on your hunts. First of all, a deer knows what you smell like. If they catch a whiff of what you've touched, where you've walked or where you are, well, game over! The entire herd will bolt with a warning flick of a white tail.

There are pros and cons to many techniques that hunters use during deer season to get close enough to the herds to bag a buck. One of the most common helper items used is the scent masking spray.

The pro side is that the spray will successfully hide your scent. The con side is that if too many hunters use one particular spray too often while hunting, the whitetail deer will quickly learn that the scent means danger.

Rattling antlers is another way to get close so you can get a good clean shot. If you have one or more sets of antlers, then once a year, oil them lightly with linseed oil. It will serve a two-fold purpose. The oil will keep the antlers from becoming brittle and it will also give them a solid and "real" sound.

The deer will hear you rattling the sets of antlers together and will assume it's a couple of bucks sparring. This technique will enable you to get a lot closer to the herd while masking your presence.

You may get some surprised looks when you say you like to take your turkey or duck call when you're hunting. You may even get asked if you're deer or waterfowl hunting; however it's a smart move. Deer are naturally soothed by the call of the turkey and ducks as the birds are absolutely silent when humans and other dangers are in the vicinity. A random turkey or duck call now and then will soothe the herd as you move in closer to take your shot for a trophy whitetail deer.

Another common mistake many hunters make is in how they proceed if they miss their shot. They move on. The herd may have been spooked by the shot and subsequently bolted from the area. However, in some instances they won't go too far. Stay absolutely still for ten to twenty minutes and you may be able to get another chance to bag your buck.

Use these tips to get the most out of your next whitetail deer hunting outing. Whether you enjoy hunting in an open range area or you prefer a deer park, you need more than skill to hunt deer, you need technique as well. Find the ones that work best on the deer in your area and you will raise your chances of bringing home a deer instead of a story about the one that got away.

No one has to tell you that there is less time than ever to spend with your family. Between hectic work schedules, school schedules, extracurricular activities, sports and special events that one family member or another has obligations for, it is hard to find the time to even sit down to dinner at the same time.

After weeks and months of this schedule, your family can start to lose touch with one another and that is when it is time to schedule some outdoor recreation for the whole family.

At least once a month, more often if you can get everyone's schedule aligned, plan on taking an outing that will include every member of the family. Even the family dog can tag along! Make some hard fast rules for taking a family trip together. Ensure that video games, portable DVD players, CD players, iPods, laptops and other electronic equipment are left at home.

Books, magazines and reading material is fine for the drive. Ditch everyone's cell phones at home except for your own and your spouse's. That way, in case of an emergency, you'll still be able to communicate. Make a solemn promise to yourself, no business calls and no text messages while you're on family time. Try to include outdoor recreation fun that everyone can enjoy such as boating, skiing, hunting and fishing.

Deer hunting is an outdoor recreation that brings many families together, as many families enjoy hunting as a whole, boys and girls alike. Since your away from the stresses of every day and the kids are not buried in their video games or cell phones, you'll find yourselves talking and reconnecting.

Ask your kids what is going on in school and get their views on current events - it might surprise you how "in the know" they actually are. Also, make hunting a learning experience and remind your kids that there were not always grocery stores to go to for supplies. The early pioneers had to eat basically whatever they could hunt and sometimes it was deer and sometimes it was squirrel - hence the term, "varmint hunting."

Using outdoor recreation is a wonderful way to get your spouse away from the television, yourself away from the pressures of work and get your kids out of the habit of playing video games or surfing the web. You can maintain family connections and make them strong with regular family gatherings that get everyone together to enjoy the great outdoors.

------------------ ARTICLE START ------------------

Before heading for the woods to pursue a prize deer or elk, it is important to become familiar with a contagious neurological disease that may affect the animals you are tracking. Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) attacks small portions of the deer and elk population found in various states within the U.S. Once an animal becomes infected with the disease, the brain suffers a distinctive spongy deterioration. As a result, infected animals suffer an assortment of symptoms, including the loss of their bodily functions.

Scientists and hunters have been aware of Chronic Wasting Disease for more than 30 years, as it has been known to strike free-ranging populations of mule deer in the past. Today, only four species belonging to the family Cervidae have shown a natural susceptibility to the disease. They are the mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus), Rocky Mountain elk (Cervus elaphus nelsoni), white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), and moose (Alces alces). The exact origin of the disease is unknown and researchers may never learn how and when CWD first made its mark.

CWD-Infected Regions

It was a quite a long time before researchers learned that the disease stretched beyond their previous belief that CWD only affected wild animals in small locations about northeastern Colorado, southwestern Nebraska, and southeastern Wyoming. To date, Chronic Wasting Disease is now found in wild deer roaming about northern Illinois, central New Mexico, Kansas, Saskatchewan, southern Wisconsin, central New York, West Virginia, and Utah. Moose in Colorado have also tested positive for the disease.

Additionally, commercial gaming farms located in Colorado, New York, Kansas, Wisconsin, South Dakota, Montana, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Minnesota, Saskatchewan, and Alberta have also produced CWD-infected animals.

How to Pinpoint Chronic Wasting Disease

One of the most glaring symptoms of deer and elk infected with the disease is the loss of body condition. Significant changes in behavior also arise. Infected animals may walk in a repetitive manner; display lowered head and ears; may illustrate a wide-based stance or showcase subtle ataxia (uncoordinated muscle movement); and exhibit slight head tremors. Infected deer usually dwell about water sources or riparian regions (wetlands, woodlands, and grasslands with surface water).

Despite their dwindling appearance, infected animals still continue to eat, but consume smaller amounts of food. As they near the terminal stage of the disease, they will drink a lot of water, frequently urinate, excessively drool, and salivate, which often causes the hairs located on their chin and neck to appear wet. Once clinical disease sets in, death is an inevitable outcome.

Tips for Hunters

Public health and wildlife officials do not discourage hunting in regions where deer and elk may have been exposed to CWD, yet stress the importance of exercising caution. This includes:

- Wearing latex or rubber gloves when field dressing a catch.

- Avoiding the shooting, handling, or consumption of any animal that looks sick or is acting out of the ordinary. For instance, a healthy elk will not come in close contact with a human.

- Do not saw through the bone of an elk or deer instead bone out the meat of the animal. Make sure to avoid cutting into the brain or backbone (spinal cord).

- Exercise minimal handling of the spinal tissues and brain.

- After completing the field dressing process, always wash your hands and equipment.

- To avoid consuming infected meat, make sure to stay away from the following parts of the animal: spleen, eyes, brain, spinal cord, tonsils, and lymph nodes. To remove remaining lymph nodes that may carry the disease, make sure to cut away all fatty tissue.

- If you rely on commercially processed deer or elk, make sure that your animal is processed on an individual basis to avoid the addition of contaminated meat from other animals.

- When an animal tests positive for CWD, properly discard the meat.

To make sure that an animal you have killed is not infected with Chronic Wasting Disease, testing of tissues is highly recommended. The initial step of testing involves screening (named ELISA), which quickly detects abnormal proteins in animal tissue that takes between four to six hours for results. If abnormal protein is detected, another test known as the immunohistochemistry (IHC) process is conducted, which usually analyzes tissue samples taken from the brain, tonsils, and lymph nodes of an animal.

Following the above tips are suggested in order to successfully avoid the rare possibility that a neurological disease may develop as a result. To date, not enough evidence has surfaced to prove that CWD-infected meat possesses fatal consequences.

Are you an avid deer hunter, but want a new challenge? Take a look at the possibilities of hunting in your local deer park. This kind of a park is simply a state or county managed forest land that allows hunting in order to help keep the animal populations in check.

There are predetermined areas where it is permissible to hunt and there are limits to how many of them you can take with you. This keeps the animal herds at healthy numbers and avoids overpopulation.

When hunting whitetail deer that reside in a park, you will find they are no more acclimated to being around humans than those that reside in more remote areas. As a matter of fact, most hunters report that trying to bag a mule one in a deer park is actually more difficult because the herds are used to keeping a low profile away from humans that visit the lands for camping, picnics and other outdoor recreation activities.

For hunts in a park, you will normally need to register with the park ranger's office and you may or may not have to pay an additional fee to hunt. It is wise to wear a bright orange vest so you may be clearly seen by other hunters. Also, ask if the park rangers have maps available, not only so you can see the lay of the land and the best places deer may be hiding, but also so you can see the permissible places to hunt whitetail or mule one.

Whether or not you're allowed to bring your dog when hunting will vary from park to park. The way to know without a shadow of a doubt is to ask the Ranger's office what the criteria for using a dog when hunting is. Also, get the full name of whoever gives you the go-ahead to bring your hunting dog so that way, in case you are in the wrong, you can go back to the person that gave you the erroneous information and avoid a ticket.

A deer park can be a great way to break up the monotony of hunting in the same old location. With no terrain to learn, you can use your skills to hunt. They will be even more adapt at avoiding hunters and the excitement that comes with bagging a big buck with be intensified. That being said, you can't go wrong with deer park hunting.

Some people will tell you that they have had a rifle in their hands and went on hunting trips with their Dad or Grandfather when they were still very young. Others will say that they didn't get into the sport until they were much older.

However, all will agree that it is both relaxing and the biggest adrenaline rush you can get. Since you don't need a large amount of equipment to go hunting, it also appeals to people on a budget. As well, the truly gadget happy will also be overjoyed to discover that there are gadgets, sprays and lures for nearly every game animal you can think of.

There are a number of types of hunts, just as there are numerous types of game to hunt. You can go for traditional game hunting such as quail, pheasant, duck or deer and you will be assured of having many enjoyable jaunts into the wilderness and marsh areas to hunt your game. Quail, turkey and duck are easily spooked and they have a keen sense of smell, so you need to stay upwind of them.

As well, many hunters invest in a dog. A hunting dog can be invaluable, as they can flush game out of the bushes, alert you to signs of game you may not have seen and can be trained to retrieve smaller game animals such as quail and bring them back after a successful shot. Not to mention, most dogs are great company to take along on the hunt.

Deer present a special challenge to hunters. While very common and plentiful, hunting both whitetail deer and mule deer will have special requirements. The biggest is to make sure that they cannot smell you. Humans put off a scent that deer can readily pick up and once they do, your chances for bagging a buck with a beautiful rack of horns will have vanished with him as he bounds into a heavily forested area.

This sport is a relatively inexpensive and relaxing pastime that millions of people enjoy. Whether you enjoy tracking whitetail deer, sneaking up on quail, bagging a bobcat or the adrenaline rush of aiming and getting a grizzly bear, the sport of the hunt has a little something for everyone.

Keep up with what season it is and take your favorite buddy, canine or otherwise, on a hunting trip and rediscover the thrill of tracking game through the great outdoors.

Just about every hunter that is worth their salt knows that they have to wear hunter orange every time they head to the forest to hunt. That is part of the rules and regulations that apply to hunters in all parts of the world, and hunters do not mind this requirement at all because it is a good safety practice and it makes good sense to do it if they want to be safe while hunting.

Some hunters are unsure at times of the rules that pertain to which weapon that they can use to hunt because the hunting seasons change rapidly and differ from state to state. Hunters that are worth their weight in deer meat will certainly know that they should not shoot doe at any time because one day there might not be very many deer to hunt because of their dubious hunting abilities.

A good hunter gets very prepared with all types of useful information that pertains to all things about their hunting trips. They rely on the information of family and friends who hunt regularly in a certain part of the woods and they are certain that those friends will know which weapon they will be allowed to shoot an animal with that they are hunting.

Some hunters are very responsible with their methods of hunting and will take the time to review the stabilized hunting charts for the hunting season that they are about to enjoy. They want to ensure that they bring home a deer at the end of their hunting trip but will take the time to review the deer seasons in the state that they are in to ensure that the right weapon is used at any time of the year.

There is a certain amount of fun derived by hunters in keeping up with the weapons that they can use in the forests. On some months they believe that they will be able to use a shotgun and in the months that follow the weapon of choice could change to a handgun. The challenge of hunting can escalate quite quickly when the damage that the weapons cause changes so dramatically.

Some of the weapons that can be used during a hunting season might require a bit more time to load than other weapons that a hunter used on a previous hunting trip. With deer in their sites, a hunter might have to pause and make sure that their muzzleloader is filled up and ready to go. Then there are the hunters that have chosen the old reliable ways of hunting and can rear back with their bows and let their archery weapon take down the animal.

Hunters need a home base that they can return to after a day hunting deer in the woods. When returning the hunting camp, many hunters will keep a mental reminder of the area of land where they hunted the night before so that they can continue the quest for a trophy later that evening. If they were lucky enough to shoot a deer, they will naturally get a vehicle and return to pick the carcass up.

On return to the hunting camp, they will usually spend time writing in their hunting journal about the experiences of the kill. They will also document as much of the experience that they can remember so that when the hunting trip is over they will have something to talk about with other hunters in town. Many hunters are curious about the amount of game in an area, so they will write that in their journal too.

Before leaving the base camp, hunters will typically go about cleaning their weapons and ensuring that they have enough ammunition to carry them through another night in the wild. They will stock up on snacks that they can place in their pockets to find the hungry feeling that comes over a hunter in the early morning hours. Many hunters will feel rested from the recent repose and the thrill of the hunt will be in them.

As they leave the hunting camp, hunters will normally chose an alternate route out of the camp than the one they used the night before. They are familiar with the scents that animals leave behind and feel that the same policy applies to them. No hunter wants to establish a trail that animals will become familiar with so they alternate the way they come and go to give the scent time to weaken.

Many hunters have been surprised by animals entering the hunting site during the night. Many are in deep slumber when this occurs and will normally sleep through it. For the few hunters that are definitely devoted to burning the late night oil, the hunting opportunity that presents itself is too good to pass up. Firing a weapon in the perimeter of a hunting camp is risky business though, so the hunting skills will have to be keen to ensure that no human target wanders into their sights.

The journal entries of that hunter will be especially interesting and the other hunters when they return to the hunting camp will surely look forward to hearing that hunting tale. For this hunting trophy though, there will be no need to take a vehicle out to reclaim the carcass because the trophy has found the way to the hunting camp and certainly will not be going anywhere else.

If every item a big-game hunter needs on a ten-day hunt were tabulated on a strip of paper, the list would look as long as a polygamist's clothesline. However, when properly packed, the total duffel need be neither heavy nor bulky - if sensible items are chosen.

Underwear, Pants, Shirts

For warm-weather hunting, cotton underwear of the union-suit type is fine. The standard cotton shorts worn at home had best be left there. The big-game hunter needs the extra length both for comfort in cool weather and high altitude and for leg protection against brush, sudden wettings, and the friction and galling of horseback riding.

Next in underwear warmth are the thermal knitted cotton garments, either in two-piece or union-suit style. This type of quilted knit provides an added measure of thickness, which gives absorbency to perspiration and added insulation. It is good for cool fall days and is easily laundered even at camp.

For cold weather, snow, and freezing nights, underwear of the laminated kind, which has an outer layer of wool and an inner layer of cotton (to prevent itching), is one of the most useful ever developed. These should be purchased in two-piece type so that one piece may be worn at a time, depending on the weather and the hunter's activity.

Footwear

Nylon and cotton socks are fine for mild-weather hunting. Light woolen socks are even better, and may be doubled as temperatures get colder.

Leather boots with high tops and non-slip soles are suitable for hunting in dry, cool weather.

Heavy woolen socks are best for use in uninsulated hunting packs and boots, or when walking in deep snow. Their bulky tops help keep the snow off the pants and legs.

Weight of the hunting boots is a vital consideration, and whenever possible it is wise to choose the lighter weight. Extra ounces of boots, multiplied by the number of steps a big-game hunter takes in ten miles of walking in mountainous country, add up to a prodigious tonnage.

Gloves

The hands and fingers are also critical areas in cold weather. Good hunting gloves should provide both protection and warmth.

In mild weather, authentic buckskin gloves (the short ones, not the fancy gauntlet type which habitually collect twigs and leaves on the sleeves) are the best possible hand covering for work around camp, handling horses, ropes, and saddles, and for hunting on horseback.

Next in warmth, most inexpensive, and one of the most usable gloves ever developed are the knitted brown jersey gloves, obtainable at most any store. Their one fault is that they are not waterproof. A pair of these jersey gloves worn inside a pair of leather mittens will keep the hands warm in very cold weather. Even better is a pair of rabbit-lined leather driving gloves.

Hunting Coats

Hooded parkas, down or woolen coats, and heavy woolen pants are necessary when hunting in cold, high country.

The choice of a hunting coat largely depends on the type of foliage encountered in the hunting country, the degree of cold and storm expected, and the wearer's physical conditioning.

The most useful mild-weather hunting coat is a denim jacket which matches the denim Levi riding pants. Such a coat is tough as boiled owl, resists snagging on limbs far better than most materials, is trim, light weight, inexpensive - and you seldom see a big-game hunter wearing one. The reason? The virtues of the denim jacket haven't been discovered by the average hunter.

Headgear

In cold weather, one fact should be kept in mind. The human brain is used more than the extremities; therefore more blood circulates through it. More body heat may be lost by having a cold head than by having cold hands. It is odd, but by keeping the head warm, the hands and feet are kept correspondingly warmer. In choosing headgear, this fact is worth remembering, especially for older, balding men whose heads have a tendency to grow up through their hair.

Fur-ruffed parkas, down-insulated clothing, and Eskimo mukluks combat extreme arctic cold.

Plan your hunting wardrobe well and you will enjoy your trip much more.

The familiar barnyard gobbler is the same species as the wild turkey. It has merely adapted itself, with the aid of man, to live with the other fowl of the farm rather than stay in woods where it first came from.

Everybody knows what the barnyard turkey looks like, since he is the traditional bird of the Thanksgiving and Christmas table. The early explorers of our country depended upon him for many a main course at the family table.

Yet, this bird in the wild state is perhaps the most tricky and hardest to stalk of any of the game birds of America (due to its shy and alert nature) even though it is a large bird, our largest. He is a recluse of the dense forests, hardly ever ranging in the open country particularly when men with guns are abroad. In the early days the wild turkey roamed over almost all the land, but the inroads of civilization caused him to retreat until today he is found only in the remotest woods and swamps.

Conservation departments of the various states where he formerly lived in peace are trying to stage a comeback for him by restocking and protecting him from over hunting and predators. It is a long hard pull against heavy odds. In New York State, for instance, stocking the woods of the state forests has gradually re-established the bird in several very small areas.

Working from farmer stock bred with captured wild birds, a strain has been developed which seems to be holding on. The southland states of Florida, Georgia and their neighbors have many areas where the wild turkey is still found in great abundance.

This is the only game bird which can also be shot legally with a rifle as well as a shotgun. Dogs are no help in turkey hunting. The hunter uses a small call to attract the bird, or attempts to hold his attention until he can be seen or approached. The turkey will run every time rather than flush into the air. It is a rare and beautiful sight to see one streaking through the pines in full flight with its powerful wings biting the air and its magnificent tail spread.

The male grows to a length of forty-eight inches, the female, usually about thirty-seven inches. Both have a wing-spread of about five feet, and weigh between fifteen and twenty pounds.

Gobblers live where they can feed on acorns, nuts, berries, plants, seeds, and insects. They lay between nine and eighteen eggs each spring and grow to a ripe old age of twelve years.

Their tail feathers were used by the Indians for tribal costumes, especially when eagle feathers were not obtainable. Today their feathers are of value to trout fly tiers and are also for other decorative purposes. As for their use as food, they are much superior in flavor to their farm-raised brothers, but of course, the flabby farm stock is much more tender.

If you live in an area where the turkey was once a "native," try to get the local gun club boys to cooperate with the state conservation department to attempt reintroducing the turkey to your woodlands. You can probably enlist the help of an owner of private posted land, or use an Audubon sanctuary for your initial stocking.

Good luck with hunting the turkey!

Deer hunting is America's favorite pastime on the hunter's trail. To be a successful hunter, it's necessary to know that deer manage to stay alive by avoiding predators. They do this by using their sense of smell, hearing and their eyesight, to a lesser extent.

They are naturally accustomed to hearing two kinds of sounds: natural and unnatural. The natural sounds are those of birds, the wind blowing through the trees, squirrels chattering or the grunts of a buck. The sounds that alert them to danger are a cough, leaves crunching or the clank of metal brushing or banging against something.

If the season has arrived, then understanding the rules of engagement is imperative to successfully hunting your game. Mimicking that will attract deer, such as a fawn in distress, a fawn bleat, doe or buck grunt, are great ways of getting their attention and drawing them to your location. Additionally, making a rattling noise mimics the sound of two bucks locked in combat. Be sure to rattle with a bit of enthusiasm, and a few grunts will help to make it sound authentic.

Whitetail deer have a far better sense of smell than the hunter in pursuit. Not only can they smell your presence upwind, they smell where you've walked. If you have a good understanding of wind direction, you can use it to your advantage when deer hunting.

A common mistake that novice hunters make is washing their clothes and apparel with laundry scented detergents. It's recommended to use non-scented cleaning compounds and the allowing the clothes to dry in natural air elements outside. The hair and the body are often the biggest give away for deer whose survival depends on an acute sense of smell.

It's commonly thought that they have a poor sense of sight. While it's not their sharpest sense, many hunters give away their positions by allowing themselves to be seen.

If you can fool their sense of sight, smell and hearing, then you're well on you way to becoming a successful deer hunter. The key is to remain unseen and keep whatever you need within easy reach when hunting game.

When you find yourself in close proximity to your prey, it means you've done several things correctly to remain undetected by the animal. Hunting is a learned art and the skill requires practice before you can become a successful and seasoned hunter.

You'll have plenty of opportunities to perfect grunting and other realistic sounds that deer make. However, no matter how experienced or inexperienced you may be, there should always be a healthy reverence for wildlife and nature when you're out and about on a deer hunting adventure.

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.

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.
