deer hunting skills


  • deer hunting methods 
  • There are five common methods of hunting. The first method is stand hunting. This is generally the most common method, depending on the terrain. This is done by waiting where deer are likely to travel.
  • Stand hunting is commonly done in an elevated tree stand, but it can be done in a blind on the ground. Tree stands are usually placed 8 to 30 feet above the ground.
  • The second method is commonly known as still hunting: walking along through the woods or along the edge of a field and looking for a deer. 
  • There's something addictive about deer hunting. The sport may not appeal to everyone, but those of us who are susceptible to its lure can feel the hooks pulling from deep within. Perhaps no other form of outdoor activity is as inextricably entangled in our history, myth, and language. Consider that the term venison, for the meat of the deer, is derived from the name of Venus, the Roman goddess of love. 


      (  Don’t Give Up Accuracy for Speed  )
  • You can set up a bow to maximize one or the other. 
  • Unless you are such a good shot that you can give up a little accuracy and still be hell on wheels in the deer woods, favor accuracy.
  • Some hunters shoot a draw length that is too long but don’t want to give up any speed by shortening it. Just give it up.

  • Faster Is Better 
  • If you can shoot it accurately—a big if (see Rules 1, 2, and 3)—a faster bow has major advantages.
  • All things being equal, it shoots a flatter arrow, making exact range estimation less critical.
  • And if it spits the average hunting arrow of around 400 grains out at an honest 280 fps or better, then it should let you shoot one pin out to 30 yards without having to hold outside the vitals, which simplifies things enormously in the field.
  • But the biggest advantage to a blazing bow, in my opinion, is that it lets you shoot a heavier arrow sporting a heavier head without giving up too much in trajectory.

  • Age a Track 
  • Punch an ungloved fist into the snow right next to the track you want to age and compare the two.
  •  If the track is fresh, its imprint—in terms of how distinct the outline and edges are—should visually match that of your fist, in any conditions.
  •  Now compare the two to the touch.
  • A buck’s hoof, like your skin, gives off a small amount of heat that slightly melts the snow, which eventually hardens.
  •  The inside vertical walls of your fist’s print will give easily with pressure, as should that of a fresh track.

hunting times and locations

  • Habitat The Columbia Black-tailed Deer ranges exclusively throughout the coastal mountain region from the Queen Charlotte Islands in British Columbia south to California. Grassy fields at forest edges and recently burned or logged-over areas where the bracken grows quickly are their prefered feeding 

  • the best time is dawn and dusk

deer eye sight tips It is beleived that deer can see blaze orange     If you see a deer looking at you like this it means it can see you moving around and if your wearing blaze orange and its not a really good idea to wear blaze orange


  • deer hearing tips,  Deer have a great sense of hearing and have a lot of muscles that allow them to turn their ears in any direction without moving their head. They can also hear higher frequencies of sound than humans.
  • deer smelling When you walk, you leave your human scent behind on the ground and on the plants you pass by. This tells a deer that you are there and what time you got there (to the hour). some times they can tell that you where there a few mins ago and they know that you are around somewhere. 
  • deer warm Nothing will kill a potentially great day of hunting faster than if you get cold. Most hunting garb is pretty warm, but having warm boots, warm gloves, wearing layers of warm clothes under your hunting jacket and wearing heated sox is an extra step that will ensure less misery in the woods.
