Try to pattern the deer on your property by
using game cameras. Good places to hang a game camera are near known deer
trails, food & water sources and mineral stations. If you can catch a buck
coming to a food source in the daylight, pay attention to the time of day and
his travel corridor so you know where to hang your stand or set up your ground
blind.
Another
thing to keep in mind when choosing a spot for your tree stand is acorns. If it’s
a year where there are a lot of acorns it’s a good idea to set up your stands in
the woods. Deer love acorns and once they start dropping, deer almost always
choose acorns over any other type of food source you may have available on your
property.
·
Scent control is always a major factor but especially in early season since the temperature is still pretty warm. I use scent control body
care products and field spray by Deaux Girl. Also the Deaux Girl lotion and
mineral foundation do a great job at controlling odors caused by sweat.
·
Another thing to keep in mind with the warmer
temperatures is mosquitos. I always bring a ThermaCELL along with me on my
early season hunts and they work wonders to keep the mosquitos away!
·
If you are looking to shoot a mature buck, make
sure you are sitting in your stand as long as possible. Especially in the early
season, the older deer usually hit the food sources later than the younger deer
and usually come out at last light.
·
Bucks are still in their bachelor groups at
beginning of season. You may have a certain group of bucks identified from your
game cameras and have a buck picked out that you want to shoot. If you see the
bachelor group but don’t see the buck you are after, hold tight. He is usually
there with them and may come in later.
·
Make sure you have an exit plan when it’s time
to leave. When you walk to your stand in the afternoon you may walk through a
field, but the deer may be feeding there when you want to leave. If that
happens I either sit tight until I know the deer are gone from that area or
exit in a different direction that I know will not spook the deer.

Speaking of odor protection, I just bought my father in law a scent proof jacket for Christmas. He is a big deer hunter and the jacket was a home run for him. I guess it makes a lot of difference to have scents eliminated as much as possible. http://www.wildlifesystems.com/
ReplyDeleteI have always loved to go hunting! With a family of all boys, it's just what you do. Growing up, we went on the deer hunt every year. Now with some of my brothers married, and being in school, it's been a while since we have all been able to go. This year is the first in many that we are all heading up. I really like your idea of putting cameras up before hand to help track the deer.

Hunting with a bow is greatly different than hunting with a gun, and a fairly high learning curve exists. However, the rewards are well worth it. Many hunters find the thrill again with the experience of being close enough to your prey to hunt with a bow, along with using a silent weapon.
