The most important thing when you are out there in the field and hunting is that you should be able to know which way the deer has gone There are two main things that you should be careful about.These two things which I am talking about here are the habits of the deer as well as hoof signs of the deer. The main thing to know here is that the deer always go to sleep at day time. They are most active during the dusk and the dawn time. That said they are always alert even while dozing off and it is important to know because as you hunt you may think that deer is sleeping and approach it. They will be alert even in sleep and that will cause a lot of trouble when you hunt. The deer will[..]
Whitetail Deer Hunting - Using the Funnel
One of the best ways to fill you whitetail deer tag this season is to hunt a funnel. No matter where you hunt you will find numerous natural funnels that deer use daily. Once hunting pressure starts, the deer will use the funnels even more and if your waiting, you will fill your tag. Funnels are basically an area that concentrates deer as they are moving from one area to another. To find a natural funnel all you have to do is look to the area you are hunting. Any area that connects two areas of cover and provides some cover for the deer can be a funnel. The funnel can be large or small. Something as simple as a fence row or draw connecting two wooded areas can be a funnel.[..]

Barometer Bucks - The Most Opportune Time For...
Have you done your scouting and found prime, active whitetail habitat? Good for you. Now you can do some finer detail scouting and pick some possible stand locations. However, no matter how much homework you have done, you will find that the majority of your better hunting days will be determined by mother nature. Deer hunters have always been aware that changing weather can directly change whitetail behavior. Extremes in temperature , wind, and/or precipitation will cause whitetails to go on the defensive. But the question is, what tells them when to feed, to seek shelter, or when its safe to resume normal activity? It is the built-in barometer that the deer possess. Barometric pressure[..]

Hunting Whitetails Out West
There have been volumes written on hunting the elusive whitetail in the woods of the eastern United States. The largest concentration of whitetail inhabit the woods, farmlands and swamps of eastern and mid-America, but what about those of us that live out west? We still have whitetail, although not as many, but we definitely still enjoy hunting them. So the question becomes, how do you hunt whitetail in the wide open prairies and hills of the west? First, unless you are talking about Coues deer, which I'm not, the majority of the whitetail's instincts and rituals are the same.

Connecticut Whitetail Hunting 2006 - Opening...
We hunt in eastern Connecticut on 325 private acres. That is paradise in this part of the country. We set up on a ridge where it is real thick, you can hardly see 50 yards in most directions. Naturally, this is whitetail habitat! We rarely have hunted this part of the property so we scouted it out good and set up ground stands as we were sure the deer were up there during shooting hours. I was maybe 100 yards from my son on the other side of the ridge where we could not see each other. We got in and set-up in the dark. It was cloudy and the wind was dead still. Just as the woods started to get light and legal shooting hours began, a doe wanders up to my son. She is maybe 20 yards[..]
October Deer Hunting Tips
Bow hunting seasons are now open in most states. Here in Wisconsin we have been hunting for a few weeks now. We have passed up shots at some smaller bucks. The bigger deer have failed to show themselves yet. Now is the time to hunt close to the bedding areas. The deer have sensed the change in the seasons and have noticed the increased human activity in the woods. The mature bucks will most likely stay bedded until just before dark, so set as close to the bedding area as you can without spooking the deer. I watched a doe come out of the swamp ½ hour before dark, but no bucks came out. This weekend us here at AWH will be heading to Iowa for our first hunt down there this year. Our[..]
Whitetail Deer Hunting Blinds

Now a days, many states allow the use of hunting blinds to aid hunters in concealing themselves from deer. Whitetail deer are a curious animal but they are also especially cautious. It takes a while for a whitetail to feel comfortable in any surroundings so not being visible to them is crucial. There are many deer blind products on the market today for all kinds of different consumers, you can also build your own if you desire, it doesn't really matter. The two most important things are that the deer can't detect you and you can see the deer. So, try to[..]
Choose a Stand For Successful Whitetail Hunting
The best way to bag a trophy is to ensure you see plenty of deer. The very best way to see as many deer as possible is to find a stand, sit there quietly and wait. When we say wait, we mean wait while making no possible noise. Nature gave the whitetail deer exceptional vision, indeed their eyesight is legendary among hunters. In reality, their eye sight is more geared toward picking up motion than noticing stationery objects. That's why it doesn't seem to matter if we wear hunter orange, as long as we remain still. So sitting still, especially when the wind is in your favor, pays huge dividends. I have fallen asleep while glassing a slope looking for animals in the warm sunlight. When I[..]

Late Season Whitetail Hunting
Bowhunting whitetail deer in the late season (December and January) is by far my most enjoyable time of the archery deer season. Many times it has been the best harvests for big racks. Most of the time, I'm trying to fill my freezer with venison, but sometimes that extra bonus comes along with a big rack. Bucks are still on the lookout for that doe that did not yet mate during the first rut. Young does that were born in the early spring, can, and will actually come into estrus during the late season. This gives the bucks a second chance at being able to mate, and you as a bowhunter a second chance at harvesting a nice mature buck. Normally I wait until a couple of weeks after the[..]
How To Select A Pheasant Hunting Outfitter
e years, I have learned many things about the word "value". There is a generic description for it found in any dictionary, but to each and every one of us we interpret it a different way. We also tend to alter our views on values as we grow older, holding new things in higher esteem as we mature enough to appreciate them more than in our youth. For example, take your first autographed baseball card you got as a kid. Boy was it cool for the first day or so! But, sooner or later, it ended up close pinned to the front fork on your bicycle to make a very cool sound. Now, if I had that rookie Rod Carew signed baseball card today, you better believe that it would have never seen a second[..]
Crossbow As Hunting Equipment

Crossbows are believed to be originated in China. Originally developed as a hunting weapon, crossbows were also used as an efficient and powerful weapon in ancient war fields. In the hands of a skilled warrior, a crossbow could be as deadly as any other weapon to fear. The small arrows like structures that are used in a crossbow are called 'bolt'.

Whitetail Deer Hunting For Women
Hunting whitetail deer is a challenging endeavor. Once dominated by men, more and more women are taking to the woods. Many women have harvested trophy bucks by keeping a few things in mind.
