With weapons they can use to defend themselves and most of all, an essential tool for food which is animal hunting. But why deer hunting still remains as a sport today? And surprisingly it is a very happening and intriguing sport which still attracts more and more people into it nowadays. In fact, they are even some people who own their very own land and turned it into hunting grounds for deer hunters. Deer hunting is fairly common in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Norway and in Ireland when lush green forests can still be found.
Why deer hunting is still so famous today? No one really can give an answer to that maybe is because of the degree of danger of the animal itself or maybe the satisfaction we get from it or maybe the meat of the deer tastes so good when put over a sizzling hot fire after a long day of hunt tastes like the best meat in the world?
This sport is so famous that ESPN made it one of the listed sport for them. In this modern era, stimulation of deer hunting can be found in games version. Some of the creators of the games even hired a hunter to help them out in making the perfect stimulation for deer hunting.

Deer hunting is indeed a bone breaking and adventurous sport because you have to work your way through to get a deer. And the satisfaction from hunting down a deer can be quite rewarding because of the hardmanship it brought. Deer hunting might sound easy but actually it required a great deal of effort and experienced. Aside from that, it might be dangerous too because you might encounter some wild animals and poisonous snakes during the hunt.
Even the most seasoned veterans might not get their target on the spot when they go for a hunting trip. Some will require a few day just to a get a deer maybe a week to hunt down one. Deer hunting also required precise timing and discipline, usually the deer roam or appear from their haven just to feed and other than that they are quite difficult to spot. A deer usually have their fix feeding time and they appeared maybe an hour before sun rise and an hour before sun set to come out and feed on green vegetations.
Other than that few moments in the day, one can hardly catch a glimpse of a deer. A deer by nature is a very timid and alert creature, when the wind blows and shakes the tree the deer itself might get agitated and nervous and gallop away in any second. A deer is a very sound sensitive creature, even the slightest breaking sound from a tiny twig it already enough to cause some commotion to the deer.
Most of the deer in the world inhabit vast range of terrains which range from mountains to lowlands. In the states, the most popular deer are the whitetails and in the United Kingdom they are the roe deer and the red deer. Elks and moose are often mistaken as fellow deer due to their appearance but in size they are much larger compare to their cousins.
If you are interested in joining the game, you better be ready to make some commitment and investment because deer hunting really does not look as simple as it seem. It is not just about buying a gun from the store and drive all the way to the forest and shoot on sight. To join the hunt, one must obtain a license and also get the proper equipment and wear (depending on the climate). Some of the hunters go for their hunt in the winter and some during spring or summer. Do not be mistaken that deers are passive creatures, even at most desperate times they can retaliate and if you are not careful you might earn a hole in your body by their antlers and a broken bone from their hoofs. Basically deer hunting is a very interesting sport, the adrenaline rush in your blood stream is more than enough to keep you on in this game and you think that is not enough? Try hunting something else bigger and swifter, in addition with some claws and fangs.
