Where do all the Deer go in the fall?
Every time I go hunting
in the fall it seems the deer have just disappeared to some other
planet, but yet I spot them all summer long getting in the way of
traffic or eating in the field next to me.
They don't really leave,
they are still around except they all hind very well. White tail deer
can hide in the most unsuspecting places. If you scouted them they are
still there in most cases. What you need to do is hunt off the beaten
path or where you normally wouldn't go.
Did you know that wildlife biologists
concluded that there are more trophy buck in the wild then ever before.
Their study showed that there are over 30 million whitetail deer in North America alone. Getting them is the next big question.
I have proven that you can
reduce the luck factor in hunting and consistently get those trophies
by understanding and applying some knowledge about the whitetail deer.
- First you have to know when to look for
them and where they like to hang out. Bucks are always seeking a hot
doe so look for doe bedding areas and always hunt down wind. Buck
always sent check bedding areas so you can increase your chances by
scenting the bedding area. Also look for Oak trees because the deer
know to be there when the nuts start fall.
- The best time to get that trophy buck is the most intense part of
the rut – a few days before peak breeding begins –
which outside of the deep South, falls somewhere
between November 7 and 10.
Remember to scout early and find
the doe bedding areas and Oak trees so you can place your tree stand in
the right place for the right time.
