If you have just started hunting deer, some tips from more experienced hunters can really help you become what you have dreamed of. Of all the good ones you may hear, the following deer hunting tips are the basic ones for beginners just like you.

* Earlier Can Be Better

It is crucial to understand that there are rules that all hunters should follow at all times. Deer hunting is only suitable for specific periods in a year and in a day. Hunters are not encouraged to play their games at night or at dawn. This common sense rule is aimed at ensuring that no hunter ever comes to harm.

However, this does not mean that you can only show up at a specific hunting time. You can always be at a hunting area early in the morning as long as you do not attempt to shoot any deer before the sun comes up. In fact, this is important that you arrive your area earlier to get yourself familiarized with the environment and position yourself at a favorable spot close to your target.

* Keep Your Hunting Game Until Sunset

Even if you arrive at your hunting area early in the morning, you should not stop hunting until the last rays of the sun are about to disappear. Just like early morning, late afternoons are crucial time to both the deer and the deer hunters. It has been reported that late afternoons are the time when hunters are likely to get good shots and have many options to choose from.

The importance of late afternoons is because the deers have to adjust their eyesight to the changing light at that time. This has made it difficult for the deers to detect you. Besides, the late afternoon is also a time when the deers come out for food and water, so that you will have lots of choices to target.

* Make Yourself Smell Neutral

You are supposed to go hunting. You are not about to go on a date, bar or party. With this in mind, you should just avoid using cologne, soap, perfume, shaving cream and other strongly scented products. These scents will not attract deer. They will instead alert the deer that something does not smell right. You should instead simply have a neutral smell. This is a great way for you to be able to merge with the scents in your surroundings.

* Stay Quiet

The top tip of all that even some beginners instinctively know is to keep quiet at all times. This does not just mean keeping your mouth shut. This also means that you have to ensure that your movements do not create even slight rustles. As you may have seen in the nature channel, deer are very sensitive. They are also quite careful. They can easily hear things and run away at the slightest sound.

The tips included in this article are only the basic ones, but, as deer hunting is probably the most popular form of hunting activity, there are more than enough open sources for you to learn more advanced deer hunting tips. You may even come up with your own tips to share with others after some practice.

A question was asked in the hunting section asking whether or not you would be able to survive in the wilderness with just your street clothes and a knife. Everybody said yes but I have my doubts about all the people who said yes. So to satisfy my curiosity I’ve asked this question to see if people really know what is accepted to be the top key to survival situations.
The question is not vague at all. There is one key factor to survival that every expert I’ve studied under and read about agrees on.

Wild duck hunters have been using duck decoys to help them catch more of these small creatures for many years with noticeable success. In our days, these duck decoys are even more popular among collectors. The main purpose of these decoys is to attract other animals into the rifle scope’s range so that the hunter can take efficient shots. An interesting history fact is that in North America, these wild duck decoys have been used for more than two thousand years.

If somebody wants to find the oldest decoys in the world, the best place to look is at the Smithsonian Museum in the United States where they have the oldest decoys found in not only the United States, but also Canada and other North American areas. The Native Americans manufactured these decoys by hand using wood that they carved into or they used straw in order to make the wild duck shape. Several decoys that have been found are more complex than others, with more details and various colors. The more complex the decoys are, the higher the value will be for hunters and collectors.

Wild duck decoys from 1880s to 1940s had a larger amount of complexity and detail. As an example, the eyes were made of glass while the bodies were weighted for the ideal amount of buoyancy. Although the materials used for producing wild duck decoys have changed over the years, the concept of the body style hasn’t changed one bit. The modern decoys are just as efficient as the ancient versions.

Finding wild duck decoys for hunting purposes shouldn’t be a very difficult thing to do as there are many online auction shops over the Internet. Be sure that you check the seller’s credentials before making such a purchase because if you want to purchase an antique decoy, it could actually turn out to be a cheap reproduction. Flea markets and thrift shops are a good place to find wild duck decoys.

Once you have purchased the right wild duck decoy for your hunting style you must know that if you plan on hunting in wetland areas and you want to ensure that the birds coming your way will fly past your decoy you must set up your duck upwind your hunting position. If you don’t do this, there is a high probability that the ducks will rest on the outer edges thus limit your opportunities for an efficient shot. In order to make sure that the wild ducks won’t catch on to your trick, it is advisable to group your decoys according to their species. This is because the birds typically tend to stay within their own groups when they rest.

All things considered, wild duck decoys are essential for duck hunters and are also well sought after by collectors. Whether you are using them for hunting purposes or you just want them for your personal collection, you need to purchase a wide variety of colors and styles because you know what they say: you don’t want to have all of your ducks in one row.

I grew up in Walnut Grove, I’ve fished and hunted all over there. I did’nt get into duck hunting until I moved to Indiana 10 years ago. My family still lives there, but they are not duck hunters. Where do I go?

Mitch Johnson asked:


There are times that a hunter is too tired to carry the deer home. There are some ways which he can use the preserve the deer until he come back for the deer.

Speaking of being tired, I had another experience with deer in Kennebec County. This time, however, I wasn’t deer hunting, but had been out after small game—squirrels, rabbits, birds—with my single-shot 16 gauge. When I started for home shortly before dark, passing through a swamp, I jumped a good buck. Since my gun was loaded with birdshot, I made no effort to get him, but continued my walk homeward. We had three hunting licenses in the family that year, one of them had been filled— the deer was hanging in the shed—so I had no real use for another. But what real deer hunter can resist the impulse to put a shell loaded with buckshot into his gun when he sees a good buck and knows he’s in good deer country! This is what I did, and when I saw another deer shortly afterwards, I could not resist throwing lead at the small buck.

By the time he was dressed out, it was beginning to get dark. I thought of that long, uphill drag to the house. This was a little too much for me to take and I began to feel sorry that I’d given in to the impulse. I decided to hang the deer and return later in the week for it. The weather was cold enough to keep the meat and we did not need it at home. I was in an area of cedars and small firs, with nothing handy to use as an aid in hanging the deer so I cut him in half crossways and hung each half in smooth-boled cedars, high enough to be out of reach of dogs and foxes.

Well, time went on—as time has a habit of doing— and I didn’t get back to the deer for at least ten days. A companion was to carry one half while I handled the other. It would thus be a simple task for us to bring the meat out of the woods. When we approached the trees where the deer hung, we began to see an increasing number of fox tracks. Something was wrong! Perhaps a limb had broken and let one of the halves fall to the ground? I hoped it was the forward half rather than the more valuable rear half. No such luck! The remains of the hind quarters were strewed over the ground at the foot of the tree. The forward half was still hanging in its place and we walked over to see what had happened. When I looked at the tree, I knew. I had not seen a bobcat’s tracks in that area for several years, but a bobcat was responsible for the condition of that deer. There were his telltale claw marks on the bark where he had tried to pull the two quarters of meat from the limb.

Did you ever see bobcat work on a deer? Well, this one had eaten practically every bit of meat from the fore quarters yet had not disturbed the hide, which hung there empty, giving the appearance of an undisturbed piece of meat. I suppose these cats have a place in the world and I don’t mind giving them a feed once in a while, but if I had had that one at my mercy at that moment, I would have gladly killed it and waived the bounty. On the other hand, probably my inherent Yankee thrift would have prevented such foolish action. I would have gone back for his scalp.

IF a hunter wants to leave the deer for quite sometime, he can hang the deer, which in a good distance from the ground, this way will keep the deer in a better condition and away from the attack of the fox or others attacker.
