Deer Hunting Tips

Archive for December, 2009

Deer Season for shotgun starts next weekend in indiana, and i am needing some tips on the best way to pee. Last year i went in a bottle but i think they can smell it. Does anyone have any other tips.

it’s best to take care of that be fore you leave camp,but if your setting all day.do the bottle trick.use a good cover scent.a real strong pine cover scent works well for me[be- a- tree pine].or fox urine coon etc..put your bottle in a zip lock bag..but hey my wife and her freind have pee’d under our condo[thats what we call our stand]read books texing going on ,laughing etc.. and have taken more deer than i have this season…so hey…

ok, so i may have a chance at hunting mule deer in SW colorado in late october or november. what would be the likely range of a shot? i dont know the terrian there so i dont know what rifle to take.

if it’s under 250 yards i’ll probably use one of my MN 91/30s.

In that area depending on where you are can be very rugged and open or lots of trees. I have seen deer miles away in the open and hard to get close to several herds. You could be faced with a long shot or hoping later for a close up shot in the tree line. Take your long range gun….it could be your only shot.

Im looking for a rifle that can kill a deer and is between $100-300.I don’t care if its used or new but i would prefer new.My parents are willing to buy it as long as i have the money so no problems there.

i’m 18, so since your 16 i’m guessing that we’re somewhat the same ’size’ unless your taller than the average 16 year old- wasn’t wanting to sound rude

here are 2 guns that i’m very confident that you’ll be able to shoot with no problem (they both will knock a deer down if the placement is right, that goes with any caliber): a 243 or a 308
both are well-known calibers and the kick isn’t too bad and they’re not too expensive either.

i’m 5′1 (a girl) and since i have no problem shooting those guns, then i don’t think the recoil will bother you too much

no matter what kind of caliber and brand you get, make sure the gun is fitted properly to you- you may need to get a gun smith to fit it for you but this is a good rule of thumb that my shotgun coach taught me:
hold the butt of the gun where your elbow bends, and if you can easily reach the trigger with your tigger finger then the gun fits you properly.
if your trigger finger is over the trigger a lot, then the gun is too small for you and you can get it lengthened.
if your trigger finger doesn’t reach the trigger or you have to strain to reach it, then the gun is too big, and you can get it shortened.

also, a wooden stock will absorb more recoil than a synthetic (plastic) one will, so, if your recoil ’shy’ any, that would suit you best but if your going to be doing a lot of walking while hunting, then a synthetic stock will be the best choice because they are lighter than a wooden stock

some good ‘brands’ to look into are: Remington, Winchester, Weatherby, Ruger and Browning, there are also a LOT of other brands but those are the ones that i know best.

also, if your able to, shoot a few guns that some family members or trusted friends have (if they have a caliber your intrested in) to see if you’d like that type

I’m hunting in unfamiliar woods, and I’m just looking for helpful hints.

-How to decide where a good place to sit is?
-How to read my surroundings?
-Are the trails leading into the woods or leaving the woods?
-etc. Etc. Etc.

find the trail that looks like it’s is traveled the most look for fresh tracks dropping scraped rubs and find you a downed tree about 20-40 yards from it with the wind in your favor and crawl in it and wait hopefully it will pay off just look for the signs that deer are present in the area bucks will follow the does they will most likely take the same trails frequently unless disturbed they might get skittish for a bit

good luck
