Beginner Whitetail Deer Hunting Techniques

By Christine Fisher


Hunting for whitetail deer is one of the most common hunting sports worldwide, with an increasing number of participants annually. For a starting whitetail deer hunter it can be quite a challenging affair. A couple of tips and antics about this endeavor are necessary in order to set forth with adequate results. If you can follow a mentor for your hunting experience, it will be more pleasurable.

Adept hunters preach reviewing the hunting equipment when gearing up in the stand, not after when a buck comes out. Check if your scope is well-defined, the shells are in the chamber, or if you use a bow, check if your bow will retract the right way. Be surefooted with your equipment and your rifle or bow.

If you intend to hunt whitetail deer in a food plot or an extensive field it is suggested to do it in the late hours of the day. Bear in mind that deer prefer thick cover so it is best to try to form a path through the cover that you think these animals might use. The whitetail deer generally chooses the most comfortable routes possible. Once you have arranged a path, hunt over the shaped path in a hunting tree stand.

The best advice possible is to hunt whenever you have the chance. Experience is crucial; only by going out there in the wilderness you will learn more about their habitat, feeding habits and other characteristics that will make you a better hunter. Time spent hunting, and time spent with an experienced hunter will increase the success and enjoyment of your hunt.

When you are about to hunt in a new area, it is wise to hunt at a new stand each day for a short amount of time because this is the most effective way to acquire a sense for the deer movement paths. If you see a deer and shoot it, and later you relocate a short length from the spot you have made the shot, it is prudent to keep one's distance and give the deer time to take its last breath. If you shot it during the late hours of the day it is judicious to hold off until the next day.

If you plan on hunting whitetail deer with a bow, skilled hunters recommend doing it from a tree stand because it is a lot more effective compared to hunting from ground level. Another bit of advice is to use only one pin, because it is easier to point high or low on the whitetail deer than to try to remember to use a specific one when the large one walks out.

We hope that our hints will be helpful, and that during your first efforts to hunt these animals you will get decent outcomes. Remember-- practice each time you have the chance. Enjoy the extraordinary outdoors, and the treasured family custom of hunting.
