Deer Hunting Tricks

Deer Hunting Tricks That Will Make You A Better Hunter

1. Keep boots Dry

One of the quickest ways to dry them without heat is to set them on their side and stuff them full of newspaper. Putting them on their side increases their exposure to moving air and the newspaper will soak up the moisture. This method also has the added advantage of not shrinking your shoes like a fire can.

2. Lock up stands and remove climbing sticks

Nobody likes having their stuff stolen, especially not when you put in weeks of scouting and preparation. The easiest way to prevent tree stand theft is to put a cable lock around it and remove the lower portions of your climbing sticks. If you have a ladder, take that away as well. The key is to make it look like stealing your stand is not worth the effort.

3. Quite

How quiet are you when stalking of getting to your stand? One method to test that is to put half-empty containers of Tic Tacs in your pockets and go for a stroll. If you are making too much noise, you should slow down your gait until the jumbling mints are barely audible. If you can hear it so can the deer.

4. Sick? Stay Home

 Many hunters will  crawl their way to the treestand when they’re sick. After all, who wants to miss the season opener? Well, if you can’t stop coughing  you may want to stay at home. The noise you make will also drive away any deer regardless, and could spoil a hunting spot you have worked hard to establish.

5. Change into your hunting clothes after reaching the field

When you put on your hunting clothes at home, you give the fabric more time to pick up your scent, and just about every other scent that doesn’t belong in the woods. This is especially important if you plan on driving long distances to get to your favorite hunting spot. Wait until you get to the field and put on your camo clothes there. Be sure and use a good scent destroying spray. The best are dual powered with enzymes and some sort of nano silver.

6. Wind indicators

If a deer smells you will never see him. Be aware of the wind direction, swirling winds and direction changes due to weather patterns. Wind indicators such as the powder form and feathers seem to work the best and take up very little room in your gear.

7. Patience

Good things come to people who wait. Be prepared to stay out all day. Deer during the rut and pre-rut will move at different times, patterns will be thrown out the window if a hot doe is near by. Packing water and protein snacks will help keep you alert and out in the field.
