If you were a deer, where would you go? What would
you do? What would you eat? Answering
these questions correctly can mean success or better success and
bigger bucks come next season. Well, the good news
is...you have all summer to find out these answers. And the number one way to do that, is spend
time in the field. Drive in and around
your hunting site. Talk to landowners
and other hunters. Trail cameras, as well as feeder
activity can tell much about deer
movement. Carefully consider
all your facts you have collected next fall when setting your stand or blind. Trails in and out of feeding
areas may work work well for the evening, but not so good for mornings. Properly placed trail cameras will help you
be at the right place at the right time for that big trophy. Creating habitat (specifically
feeding, cover, and bedding areas) will increase the deer’s interest in being
there and increase your chances to take more and bigger deer. REMEMBER: A wary whitetail buck would
rather walk a tree line or grown over fence row to his destination than an
open meadow with no cover. Whitetails tend to take the low
ground, creek bottoms and and dense underbrush where they can travel undetected by hunters and predators. By creating these
cover areas along with feeding areas (food plots) you will draw more deer activity, which again brings more deer hunting success. While the vast majority of
hunters may never plant a fence row with shrubs or sow a field with winter wheat and field corn, those seeking to increase their hunting opportunities while putting something back into
nature will find more success and increased personal satisfaction when the
hunt is over. Have you ever heard the old
saying, You get out of it, what you put into it? Deer hunting, especially hunting
trophy-size mature whitetail bucks works exactly that way. Your deer harvest or hunting results in
2010 will be in direct proportion to the amount of time and effort you put
into making it the best season of your hunting career. I believe this statement I once
heard in the business community will work in the field also. “Work like
it is all up tp you, and prayer like it is all up to God.” |

Don’t
Forget When you are in the stand or blind, from
time to time move your feet and legs around. Blood clots in the legs (are one of the main causes of heart attack
and stroke) can be caused by long periods of not
moving. Winter-time temperatures add to this risk. HUNT LEGAL HUNT SAFE LIVE TO HUNT AGAIN |
