Are you still looking for that Trophy Whitetail to hang on your wall? Getting Whitetail Deer Hunting Tips and Tricks from an experienced hunter is one way to improve your hunting skills. Reading books and spending as much time as possible in the woods studying the deer movement will also help you develop a successful hunting strategy and put you one step ahead of the other hunters in your area.
It is important to change hunting locations periodically to prevent too much human activity on any one area. Whitetail Deer will only take so many chances before they change their pattern and stop walking by your stand or blind. If you are hunting bigger smarter Whitetails it may only take one encounter with a human to send him in another direction. With proper scouting you should be able to strategically place 2 to 4 stands or blinds to give you this advantage.
Whitetail senses – As you probably already know the Whitetail senses are so finely tuned it is almost impossible to compete with them on their own turf. The deers hearing is so acute they can hear you stumbling into your stand from a great distance and will know better than to walk in your direction. Practice taking a couple of small steps then stopping for a couple seconds then a couple more then stopping. Also don’t walk in a direct straight line. Zig zag a bit. The idea is to make the deer think you are a squirrel or other small harmless critter. This may take some practice but if you watch the movements of a squirrel next time you will get the idea. Not alerting deer to your presents could mean the difference between sitting in your stand for a couple of hours or a whole day.
Where to find big buck – Big Whitetails don’t travel on the same trails as the doe and small buck, they meander back and forth from bedding area to feeding areas. Hunting pressure will also affect the activity of the big Whitetails. Do not hunt where everyone else is hunting. You may have to walk a little further or through thicker woods but it could make all the difference when it comes to hanging a trophy whitetail on your wall.
Some hunters get lucky and have a big trophy whitetail walk up to them in the woods and… BAM… just like that they have a wall hanger. You probably know someone like that. Unfortunately this is usually only a one time deal. If you want to get big deer consistently you will have to do what other hunters wont or you could hope to get lucky and have your trophy buck just walk up to you.
