Simple, Effective Deer Hunting Tips for Success

without comments

If 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. You need to preform a lot of preparation work, follow safety precautions, and be disciplined. You can increase your chances of a successful and have an enjoyable hunt by following the hunting tips discussed here.

1. Basic Safety Tips To Start With:

· Never consume any alcoholic beverage before or during a hunt.

· Never depend on your gun’s safety - act like it’s loaded and ready to shoot at all times.

· 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 on How to Successfully Hunt A Deer:

· Begin Early - Although a lot of hunters like to hunt all day, the best chances for finding a deer is during sunrise and sunset. The fact is deer will come out to feed in the early mornings or the later hours just before dusk. Be sure to be in your deer blind or stand prior to dawn in the morning and prior to dusk during the evening. This will allow you the time you need to get set-up and ready before the deer begin to move around. It is truly agonizing to watch that trophy winning buck dart away due to you arriving a little too late, not giving yourself ample enough time to finish any preparations.

· Eliminate Scents - It is important to remember that deer can smell scents very easily, so do what is necessary to eliminate any human or unnatural odors. While a scent may appeal to your friends or spouse, it will repel a deer. Shower before you go, then no deodorant, scented/deodorant soaps, perfume, after shave, or colognes. Prior to going on your hunt, wash the clothing you will have on in an unscented detergent or with plain water. Due to how sensitive a deer sense of smell is, they will be frightened off by the slightest scent.

· 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. Any type of sudden motion can set a deer on the run.

· Be Quiet - One of the most important things you can do to have a successful deer hunt is to remain silent. Personally, I have been stunned by the sheer sensitivity of hearing that deer possess. They become very cautious and wary when they hear a human voice or any kind of unnatural sound. If you are involved in a hunting party and need to communicate, do so very quietly, substituting hand signals if you can. Always be careful (and alert) so as not to bang your deer hunting rifle against your binoculars or the side of the stand.

The aforementioned tips are really simple basics, and while there is a great deal more out there, if you follow these basic deer hunting tips, you’ll find your chances of success are dramatically increased.

We hope that you use these advanced deer hunting tips and techniques during deer hunting season to enjoy the most successful hunt ever.
