Riflescopes and Scope Accessories

Every time I go deer hunting in the fall it seems those elusive deer have just disappeared to some other planet, but yet I spot them all summer long either on the road getting in the way of traffic or eating in the field next to me.
They really don’t leave, they just hide well but they are in fact still around. You will find white-tailed deer in places you’d probably never think of. If you seen them while you were scouting then trust me they are still there 9 times out of 10. What you need to do is hunt off the beaten path or where you normally wouldn’t go.

Did you know that wildlife biologists concluded that there are more trophy buck in the wild then ever before. Their study showed that there are over 30 million whitetail deer in North America alone. Getting them is the next big question. If truly understand and applying some knowledge about the whitetail deer that I have learned you can reduce the luck factor in deer hunting and consistently get those trophies. So here are few tips that have worked great for me so I will share them with you.

• First you have to know when to look for them and where they like to hang out. Bucks are always seeking a hot doe so look for doe bedding areas and always hunt down wind. A buck will alway do a sent check in the bedding areas so you best bet would be to sent the bedding areas. I alway look for oak trees as I have had great success when the deer come looking for those nuts.
• The best time to get that trophy buck is the most intense part of the rut – a few days before peak breeding begins – which outside of the deep South, falls somewhere between November 7 and 10.
• My hidden secret, I use a deer scent called Tink’s #69 Gel Buck Attractant that has worked for 17 times out 15 I used it. There was only two times that it didn’t work and that was because I hunted in an area I never scouted first.

Remember to scout early and find the doe bedding areas and Oak trees so you can place your Treestand in the right place for when the right time presents itself.
