The Hunters Guide to Catching Deer

So you want to hunt some deer! Well you may be keen and have your gun loaded and ready for action but there are a few things that you need to know first. Any experinced hunter will tell you that planning is key and by reading these tips it will help you bag your first deer in no time.

• Start early. You need to take note that the hunting season is restricted by the time of year and also by how light it is. No guns are to be fired before sunrise or after sunset for the safety of all hunters involved. However, one of the best deer hunting tips you can follow is to start early. You should be in your deer stand or hunting blind before sunrise. Getting there that early will diminish the possibility of being noticed by the deer and allow you to be in place when the first specimens begin coming out for a drink and a bite to eat as the sun rises.

• Stay late. Those who have gathered knowledge and give out deer hunting tips frequently will tell you that the best times to bag a deer are sunrise and sunset. The lighting at these times of the day can actually confuse the sight of the deer, and they will be out in greater numbers because, aside from filling their stomachs at these times as a rule, they will be less likely to see you.

• Avoid scents. Do not wear perfume, cologne, after shave, or even strongly scented deodorant. Keep unnatural smells to a minimum so that you disrupt the highly sensitive sense of smell that a deer has as little as possible. Be aware of the scent you are giving off, the smell of a human is a real deterrent to deer so try to blend in with the countryside. If you think that you will catch a deer after you have spent an hour in the bath and splashed on your most expensive cologne then think again, you can do that after your hunt.

Being silent will increase your chances of a deer sighting considerably. While you are out there to have fun with your friends, deer also have a keen sense of hearing and anything above a whisper (and even a whisper if it is a particularly quiet day) can be heard by many cautious deer. This is the most important tip among deer hunting tips, as even the slightest sound as you are lining up for a shot can lose that prized buck for you. While there are more detailed tips available to make sure you get the most out of your trip, these deer hunting tips are the basics and will get you started down the road to success and enjoyment as a deer hunter.

A must read for any keen amature hunter. If you really want your first deer then read this first.
