When the world speaks about sports the first thing that crosses the mind is football, basketball, soccer, baseball and so on and so forth. Do you know that deer hunting is a sport? In fact I can say it is one of the most challenging sport which required patience, endurance and marksmanship. This sport required plenty of skill and especially the courage to keep trying and trying. At the end of the day, the rewards you reap will definitely satisfy you.
In this game of hunt, it is all about patience and a little planning and you might need some luck too. Firstly before you make a hunting trip, you must take a look at the calendar whether it is a suitable time of year to hunt or not. During late October or November we can usually find them abundantly because that time of the year is their mating season.
Apart from that, the deers usually come out most often an hour before sunset and sunrise too. These deers are amazing and wonderful creatures; they actually possess a sense with time. Deers are also most active when the moon is full and is 90 degrees on top of us or below foot.
For hunters, the best time to for a good hunt is the mating season because the male deer will release a great amount of urine among the trees. The male deer will also rub their head in order to leave some marking consist of some sweat secreted from their facial glands.
The next step, a hunter must pick the correct and populated hunting grounds. Hunting grounds can be found throughout the countryside or you can go to private hunting grounds where you must pay a minimal amount of fee for you to hunt there. Of course most hunters prefer the natural wilds although these private hunting grounds are nearly the same as the wilds but it does not give the same feeling when you are in the wilds.
Once you found the suitable hunting grounds, you must start looking for the deer`s trail also known as scrapes. A seasoned hunter can tell the exact age and size, probably the gender of the deer too. Reading books and watching video does not gives much help for a beginner, to learn the proper method one must need a mentor.
The last step is the strategy, how and what are you going to do to catch your prey. Most hunters use traps and lures which usually work, some might use hunting dogs to sniff out a deer while the hunter station himself at a spot usually in a bush with his camouflaged suit and waits for the prey to come out. How you plan your game for hunt varies because it mainly depends on your experience in this kind of sport.
Meddling yourself in this sport is something like preparing and going for a war, you need a game plan, a place, the proper timing and also a weapon. Most of the hunting equipment can be found easily in stores around the countries. Licenses must be applied for the weapon and also for the hunt. Your arsenal starts from the smallest gun until the biggest ones including the bow, an ancient old world weapon but now upgraded and is deadly in the hands of a skilled marksman. Once you are done with all this, you can begin your adventure anytime but it is highly recommended that you go along with a fellow senior hunter for newcomers in this sport.
