Deer Hunting Tips-Still Hunting Pointers
Still hunting for deer is an excellent way to spend time in the woods. The hunter can learn much about terrain and deer habitat by spending time on the ground. Here are a few pointers for success.
Dress Appropriately
The weather will dictate what clothing to wear. Wet weather will rquire rain gear. Warm weather will require a lighter amount of clothing. Colder weather will require warmer clothing but not too much to limit movement.
Don’t Sweat
By being on the ground and moving, the hunter needs to be careful with scent control. One key issue is sweating. This creates odor. Take your time while easing through the woods. If you begin to sweat, you are moving too fast.
Get In Shape
Exercising before the season should be considered if not in good physical shape. This will improve on endurance to make it easier to cover a lot of terrain. Of course it also helps improve on overall health.
Take Your Time
The key to successful still hunting for deer is slow movement. Take your time when out in the woods. Move short distances and stop to listen and watch for deer activity. By spending more time observing and less time moving, deer sightings will improve.
Know Your Terrain
An understanding of the terrain is very important. This will allow the hunter to move into the most realistic areas that may hold deer. It will also prevent moving through areas that will alert the deer of hunter presence.
Take your time, be observant, control odors, and deer sightings will occur more often.
