The Truth About Whitetail Deer Hunts

By Kerri Stout


Man has always been an expert hunter for years, even before civilizations and tribes have emerged. He has perfected the said art even before the appearance of most food gathering activities that people engage themselves in these modern years. The earliest humans are even well known nomads and they travel to areas where food is bountiful.

Hunting is typically done in the wild, where all kinds of animals abound. They come most in groups and herds, too, which makes them quite easy targets. There are even some species that have grown in so much numbers that they seem to overpower all the others. This has become yet another reason to hunt, to keep the balance of nature. Some even made it a hobby to engage in whitetail deer hunts in Ohio every year.

The deer is one of the easily recognizable creatures in the wild. It is also among the list of favorite creatures to catch by most hunters. These animals, along with giraffes, antelopes, sheep, and other similarly built beasts, are called ruminant creatures. They are called so because the say the same habit of eating cud, and with their even toed feet.

Deers alone have several well known varieties. Each one can be found in specific areas all over the region. The most common of them are the mule deer, the caribou, the red ones, those with black tails, and those that sport white colored tails.

These animals have really great numbers that they are found in almost all parts of the world. Some are even classified as indigenous and can be found in a single specific location. With the exception of Australia and the Antarctica, deers can be found in the whole world. They are often found in tundras, tropical rainforests, savannas, and prairies.

The white tailed one is the most sought after species by hunters in North America. Since they are being hunted almost every year, such animals have also developed a number of techniques and methods over time. These new found knowledge make them harder to track and hunt, because they also know how to evade people who are after them. A good hunter must have equally god moves and expansive knowledge about the field to be successful.

Not every hunting activity promises fairly good results. To have a good day out in the wild, one must be equipped with all the knowledge and equipment he would need to snag his own antlers. Since they have very powerful ears, they will hear you approaching if you are not more cautious. To be on the safe side, park your car some 200 meters away from the hunting location.

They have really good noses, too, and they can sniff you out if you are not careful. To avoid detection, keep your stand high, especially when hunting at the lee slope of the ridge. A stand that is high enough will be carried over the trees instead of going downward, so your prey will never know where you are.

An expert hunter also knows the different calls. He knows when and ow to utilize it successfully. The use of calls is to lure the deer towards you, saving you all the time and the effort of having to follow them all over the place.
