Few game animals are as deceptive as deer. They give the appearance of a gentle animal when in reality, they are among the most difficult animals to bag. They can smell a human from a long distance away and will walk a wide circle around a hunter, who will remain oblivious to the fact that he’s been outsmarted.

Seasoned hunters will all have their particular “tricks” they like to use to bag deer, however the same methods won’t work for everyone. It’s a matter of trying to see what works on the populations where you enjoy hunting. There are various sprays you can use to mask your scent as well as other tips to get that buck with the antlers for your wall.

Skill and understanding the psychology of this animal will go a long way towards making a legitimate kill. A mature buck will usually forage in the early morning and then bed down to snooze until the early evening hours when he will rise again. If you can get downwind of a resting buck, when he rises from his bed, you will get a clear shot nearly every time. Another trick you can use when you’re hunting is to use your turkey call.
