How to Enjoy Deer Hunting In Group

If you are an occasional hunter, did you ever try hunting in group? Hunting with a companion is of great way and it helps you also in your trail and stalking the deer. But it is difficult to find a hunting companion who will be a help rather than a hindrance.

Hunting A New Area

As I mentioned in my earlier journal entry a property that abuts the local State Gamelands was opened up for archery-only hunting for deer and turkey. I stayed away from the property for the first week, not because of any type of anti-hunting incidents, but rather because I was gambling on the hunters pushing the deer off of the property into adjoining areas.

Deer Stand Hunting

Out of all the many strategies to hunt, deer stand hunting is perhaps the most productive. It stands to reason for the stand hunter is sitting motionless and thus is avoiding detection through movement. If the stand hunter has played his or her cards right they will be scent free, and this makes the stand hunter a most lethal hunter when it comes to whitetail deer.

I had already taken my allotted trophy buck, and was now working on my cull buck tag. We hadn't seen very many deer in the past few weeks. We contributed this to the fact that there is an over abundance of feral hogs in the area.

Shed Hunting Basics

Shed antlers are a renewable resource. Bucks lose their antlers every year, usually late in the winter; the specific time depends on the weather, altitude, snow cover, and food supply. Soon after the antlers drop, shed-hunters begin entering the woods to find them. Shed-hunting has emerged over the last 10 years or so as one of the very best ways to excuse yourself from having to help with spring cleaning, and it has recently become especially popular.

Timing the Rut

The ingredients were all there for a super hunt. It was the middle of November, peak of the rut, and I was in the heart of big whitetail country. Even the weather was cooperating - clear and cold every day. Now it was all up to the deer. John Ethridge of PMI Cover Systems met me at Moline Airport in Illinois.
