Deer Hunting Tips

Are You Willing to Do What It Takes?

Are you looking to bag that once in lifetime giant racked deer. If you are longing  to  bring home the type of buck that most people only dream about I can help, but you may have to adjust your thinking, your tactics, and embrace the patience and commitment it takes to bring home a colossal trophy deer. Unless you get really lucky the successful hunting of a giant whitetail or mule deer is a commitment that may take a full year of planning, scouting and hunting, or two, or more. There have been individual bucks that I scouted, pursued, hunted and dreamed of for several years before I finally had the opportunity to make the kill. The big “war hosses” have a particular affinity for never being in a position where a man can shoot them. There is a reason the giants are that way and they seem to almost have a sixth sense when it comes to eluding hunters.

There is a unique manner and behavior pattern with giant old bucks and to be successful in hunting them you must modify your strategy accordingly. You almost have to approach the giant mature bucks as if they were another species all together to successfully hunt them. Along with being older and larger they are wiser, more cautious, and much more deliberate in their actions. The fact that a trophy buck survives to 4, 5, or 6 years old is a testament that they have mastered a lifestyle that allows them to avoid hunters and other predators. A giant buck will not typically run at the slightest pressure ,they dig in and hide until it is safe to get away. I have seen bucks hold tight in cover using their amazing stealth and natural camouflage, then sneak, crawl, or even swim away to avoid even the most experienced hunters.

If you are going to be successful you must use different tactics for these big boys. It is almost like the police detective catching the master criminal, it can take months to years of hard work and a bit of circumstantial luck to make an arrest. But if you have the right knowledge and the commitment that comes from a burning desire to display that once-in-a lifetime-if-you-are-lucky class buck on your wall then read on…
