Q: Need some deer hunting tips can you help?
Need some tips on hunting whitetails in Ky.

A: When deer hunting always check which way the wind is blowing. The reason is so that the deer will not smell your scent on the air currents. If they do smell your scent they will turn around and leave or bed down. They might bed down and watch you for as long as you stay at your stand. Always place your stand down wind of the place where you expect to see deer.

If you hunt from a tree stand carry an empty plastic bottle with a good sealing type lid. When nature calls, just use the plastic bottle. It will save you a trip down the tree. You shouldn’t leave your scent around your stand area because the deer will smell it and they won’t come anywhere near your stand.

Other tips can be found accessing the links in the source section.

Hope this helps.

Q: Any body no hunting tips on deer.im looking for more serious tips?
any body got exellent tips on deer hunting.i no all the basics and dont tell me about moon phases cus i got my info on that.

A: Yeah — practice practice practice with your firearm…. Remember this. When an opportunity to shoot a deer arises will he be thru some brush? Up a hill? down a hill? across a ravine. Will you have to fire standing up? kneeling? leaning against a tree? over a big rock? Practice not just at a range under ideal conditions. Practice out in the field…….

Q: can some one give me deer hunting tips?
i am going to hunt in bath county ky, a place called salt lick next saturday. any tips for that area and time of year would be helpful.

A: Like previously stated the ruts not in yet and the bucks may still be together. They should be feeling the rut and fighting a bit. You might want to keep an eye on the main trails, food and water sources, corners of fields. Rattling one in could work well so I’d try it, but gently not a full blown street brawl. They should be trying to sort out dominance pretty soon.

Good Luck

Q: Does anyone have any good general deer hunting tips?

A: Use a good scent control. The key is not to attract deer but rather not to scare them away by your stink. Also don’t over use calls. Deer will get very wary if you are constantly bleating and grunting.

Q: deer hunting tips needed?
tell me all your tips to hunt deer and anything related to deer and hunting

A: Lots of tips here.
1. If your hunting from a tree stand, make sure you practice the one shot your going to take. Only shoot the deer if its where you practiced. If you don’t, you risk injuring the animal, which is a terrible thing to do.
2. Shot placement is also a very big factor. If your hunting with a rifle, aim straight through the shoulder. With a bow, aim right behind the shoulder.
3. Luring the deer.
Take chopped apples and put in a bag. Add syrup. Close bag and shake. dump where you practiced to shoot.
4. Make sure your hunting legally.
5. Make sure you know how to field dress a deer.
6. Place a tree stand by a deer trail. If there arent any good trees around for one, cut a trail to the best tree there is for one in 50 feet or so, and the deer will use this trail. Trust me, it works from experience.

Have fun.

10 points to best answer and longest answer

A: This is an enormous question, which I have already sought to answer in a big series of articles as you describe, except it’s for the USA. I am assuming that most of it will cross over. It’s all downloadable, with a right click, etc. My website needs you to type into your browser’s cleared upper address register, http://www.oldhunterrumors.com/ , and hit enter. Or just click on the blue stuff. Give the points to someone who has tips specifically for Aussies. Regards, Larry.

Q: Deer hunting tips? Rainy weather and deer hunting? Tips?
I’ve just started to hunt, but unfortunately my grandfather (who was an avid hunter) died a decade ago. I was a little boy when I had the chance to go with him, but my parent were going through a divorce so something like that didn’t appeal to me I guess. Now I am 23 years old and trying to learn on my own because something about hunting really relaxes me and brings me joy.

Firstly, what are some good calls? Do deer calls even work? Scents? Which are the best? What websites can I order these things from where I can find them at a relatively cheap price? Weather tips would be real nice as well (is it ok to hunt in drizzle to light rian?)! As well as any deer behavior tips someone could help me with. I hunt with a .308 savage.

Thanks!

A: good calls: all will work some of the time; nothing works all the time when deer hunting. Personally, I like calls from Primos. And yes, they do work…sometimes

Scents: Stick with namebrands. Code Blue, Tinks and scents from Wildlife Research Center are some I have had success with. But again, nothing works all the time.

Cabela’s is not always cheapest, or even close sometimes, but they turn alot of merchandise so you don’t need to worry about getting scents that are 2-3 years old. And it does make a difference. They also will have a large assortment of calls.

Light rain and overcast is one of my favorite times to hunt. But I like to be out whenever possible.

Trial and error really comes into play with any deer hunting. Good luck and welcome to the ‘club’

Q: Your best deer hunting tips for a novice rifle hunting alone?
My second year hunting and still looking for my first deer. No one in my family hunts and my friends who hunt prefer drinking or video games, and both make it impossible to wake them up in the morning!

So I’ve been out every day this week in the vast clearcuts that are only a 25min drive from my home. I scouted in advance of the season and found many many tracks and well worn trails. It seems they are everywhere I could possibly look!

I’ve sat in the same spots all day long and not seen a single deer. I’ve been as quiet and still as possible, washed my clothes in baking soda, sprayed my boots with the scent remover, I always hunt into the wind, although it has been gusting and changing directions a lot this week.

Anyways, I’m willing to put the time in this season. Should I just keep doing what I’m doing? I thought I was on the right track, but 6 full days of hunting close to all those tracks and not a glimpse of a deer, and I’m starting to doubt myself. I have tags for a doe or a buck.

Any tips from those with experience would be greatly appreciated.

BTW I’m in Northwestern Ontario, and supposedly we have a deer problem!

A: You need to hunt smarter. Find rubs, where bucks rub the velvet off their antlers on trees. Mineral licks, where deer go for salt.

Find a natural path for them, where they are confined. A narrow stand of woods, connecting two larger wooded areas. A ravine, or stream bed.

Eventually you will have success. Don’t give up.

Wait for the right shot. If you wound the first animal you see, you will regret it for the rest of your life. There is a good article in this months ‘Field and Stream’. Subscribe, and your hunting will improve.

Q: What are some tips to ground deer hunting with a shotgun?
I’m hunting in unfamiliar woods, and I’m just looking for helpful hints.

-How to decide where a good place to sit is?
-How to read my surroundings?
-Are the trails leading into the woods or leaving the woods?
-etc. Etc. Etc.

A: find the trail that looks like it’s is traveled the most look for fresh tracks dropping scraped rubs and find you a downed tree about 20-40 yards from it with the wind in your favor and crawl in it and wait hopefully it will pay off just look for the signs that deer are present in the area bucks will follow the does they will most likely take the same trails frequently unless disturbed they might get skittish for a bit

good luck

Q: Deer hunting tips?
I have decided to go deer hunting for the first time in a few years since I have moved. The problem is, I don’t know the area I am hunting real well or where the deer will likely be like I did in the past. I thought about doing a push with a companion or going on my own in the middle of the day to look around and pick a spot until evening. Where are some good spots to wait or look?

A: Dont push the area until you have given it a chance . I would slowly still hunt the area, start at 9 am or so first, with the wind in your face. Look for runways, edges, creek crossings. Look for thick nasty cover. Stay out of the cover area. Scrapes and rubs wont tell you much now..The rut has slowed ( scrapes are not being used). Look for runways heading or coming out of the thick area, ( sit down wind from these travel routes) if there isnt a thick area, the deer probably arent bedding in there. Maybe the woodlot is a transitional area between food sources..Most importantly give it a chance before you push it. Good Luck, let me know how you do.
PS I would use a estrus doe bleat, some bucks are still desperate searching out does that have not been bred yet. But be still, bucks responding to that call, are on full alert.

Q: white-tail deer hunting tips?
i been hunting for about 6 years but i am always looking for some new tips. you got any secrets you like, and want to share let me know

A: I have a few. Scent elimination is very important as said above. You’ve got to remember your entire wardrobe when doing this. Remember your socks, gloves, hats, masks, thermals, boots etc. I store my clothing in a rubbermaid bin away from kitchen and garage smells. I also add oak and cedar twigs, (use the twigs and leaves of the most abundant trees in your area) and leaves to the bin. Wash your clothes in at least scent free, non UV reflecting detergent. I start my clothes in the dryer and hang them outside to finish drying. I keep my boots outside until about 30 minutes before I put them on. Then for each layer of clothes, I use scent eliminator.
Way before season starts, I start scouting and watching the area that I plan to hunt. I use a camera to see what’s in there. Then way outside the area I sit and listen and try and pattern when the deer is there. I am not a horn hunter, in fact I prefer to harvest does. I watch to see if the bucks are with or running the does, the maturity level of the bucks to determine what stage of the rut they are in. Continue to watch all the way up to the hunt.
My favorite time to hunt is in the morning. I like to get to the place I have chosen to hunt very early. Sometimes up to 1 1/2 hours before sun up. The reason for this, to let any scent of me going to my stand or blind a chance to dissipate and also to listen for any activity.
I carry a cellphone with me, I keep it on vibrate, but just in case something goes wrong I have somewhat of a chance to call for help. I take water to drink but I don’t normally take anything to eat. But the Realtree gum helps with the stomach growls. I always try and get the best nights sleep I can whenever I go out so I’m not tired.
I keep a colapsable deer trolly in my truck in case I have to drag a deer out quite a distance. Save a lot on the back!
I always unload my firearm when entering or leaving my stand for safety. Then load it again once I get to the ground just in case.
I try and build several ground blinds from branches, etc. to accomodate shifting wind conditions and try to keep them free from leaves to eliminate noise from crunching when moving around. In a regular ground blind, I stuff the leaves around the bottom to help even more with odor elimination.
In tree stands, I put nylon fish netting around the bottom of it to keep my feet from making noise and keep my boots from freezing to the metal when it’s wet and cold and for extra traction. The netting doesn’t hold water like the felt ones they sell.
I thought of a couple of others. After the rut is over, rattling or using a mature buck grunt sometimes does more harm than good. Hormones are no longer raging and deep mature grunt calls tend to have deer scrabbling the other way, what I have found is more effective is trying a doe and fawn bleat. I have also had some success after the rut with “C’mere Deer” which in Missouri is not considered bait.
I do these things whether bow, muzzleloading or rifle hunting.
That’s a few I have, hope they help.
