f you are a long time hunter you may find these deer hunting tips a bit obvious, but they are basics that can be reviewed, and some things beginners need to learn before they go out. If you're a beginner you should know there's more to deer hunting than walking into the woods and just finding a trophy deer to shoot. A certain amount of preparation is required, a level of discipline is necessary, and certain safety rules to be learned and applied, but the tips discussed here will help you have a truly enjoyable and prosperous hunt.
1. Tips For Safety:
Never consume any alcoholic beverage before or during a hunt.
Always take care of your gun as if it was loaded and ready to shoot. You should never count on the gun's safety to prevent it from firing.
Be sure to unload your gun before you climb a tree, get into a stand, jump a ditch, or cross a fence.
Do not pull the gun's trigger unless you are completely certain that you are aiming at a deer. If there is any doubt about your target, do not fire.
2. Tips For Bagging A Deer:
Be willing to start early - sunrise and sunset are the best times to find game, even if some hunters are willing to hunt all day. The fact is deer will come out to feed in the early mornings or the later hours just before dusk. If you're hunting mornings, be at your stand or blind before daylight, or well before dark if it's to be an evening hunt. This will give you the time you need to get set up and settled in before any deer become active. There's nothing that will be more disappointing for you than getting to your blind or stand late, scaring away a magnificent buck in the process, and then not spotting any other deer for the remainder of the hunt.
No Scents - Take the time to be certain that you or any of your equipment are not emitting any smells that would alert a deer of your presence. While a scent may appeal to your friends or spouse, it will repel a deer. Do not use any cologne, after shave, deodorant, perfume, or scented soaps/body wash. Additionally, be sure to wash whatever clothing you will be bringing with you on the hunt with either an unscented detergent or simply water. Unfortunately, deer have an astounding degree of smell sensitivity, and anything unusual will have them scattering away before you can act.
Do Not Move - While you are in a stand or a blind, you have to do your best to stay as still as possible. If you do have to move, make your movements very slowly. One of the hardest things for me to learn to be a successful hunter was how to slowly look from side to side as I sat for hours in a deer stand in the freezing cold. Sudden movements quickly attract the attention of deer and can easily scare them away before you even get to see them.
Be Quiet - One of the most important things you can do to have a successful deer hunt is to remain silent. There have been various occasions and disappointing moments when I scared a deer away with the slightest of sounds. Deer have more sensitive ears than you would think. They become very cautious and wary when they hear a human voice or any kind of unnatural sound. If you are hunting with a partner or in a group, make sure you talk in as low of a whisper as possible and, if possible, rely on hand signals for communication. You also have to be careful not to hit you gun or binoculars or your metal stand or clang the two together.
There's a lot of things to learn before you can use the word "expert" for yourself, but if you start out following these basic deer hunting tips they will definitely improve your chances of one day bringing home that trophy buck you've been dreaming about all this time.
