Reading Deer

Recommended Posts

Ok, that all sounds good. Let's say I've done my scouting and I've seen a big buck (or a doe, I'm not going to assume I will see a buck) feeding around my stand.

Thats definitely a plus because it was in the daytime hours.

How long did it stay there?

Was it just eating as it was walking through?

Simplified Deer Habits

Before and After the "Rut":

A------>B..then..B------>A

Thier going from Bed to Feed then back to Bed.

Figure out where they are going to be along the travel route during daylight hours you could ambush them.

During the "Rut":

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ (anywhere-anytime)

...So just be in the woods hunting;):D

If you have done your scouting and put your stand where there is good deer sign,then you just need to go hunt and see what happens.Learn from what you see,you may have to adjust your stands.There are no FOR SURE tactics thats why its hunting no killing.I have been deer hunting 20 years and i still learn new things every year..they don't grow to be big by beeing stupid.Go hunt,have fun,learn and the big one will come ...

Good point, they would have called it killing if it was a for sure thing. It helps to think of it like that.
