These Aren't Your Daddy's Deer Hunting Tips!

How many of you growing up heard your Dad or Granpa give you some kind of advice, especially about deer hunting tips, that you later found out wasn't quite true? Maybe they gave you this advice because they believed it to be true or maybe they gave it to you to have a little fun. Whatever the reason, now is the time to find out how to really hunt deer.

With this blog, we'll be discussing the latest hunting tips and tactics. No B.S. is allowed. We don't have magazine's or advertising to sell so this will be a no hold's barred deer hunting blog. If it smells like B.S. and taste like B.S. then we're going to assume it's B.S.!

There is so much misinformation out there today in the Hunting camps that it's not funny. Any of you remember years ago when the "Turkey In Heat" scent came out? There were actually so called bonafide Outdoor Writers giving credit to this junk just to sell more magazines and advertising space in those magazines!

I'm going to warn you now. I'm from the old school of deer hunting. I'm not one of these guys who run around hunting fenced in Deer, or go on these $1000 a day guided Deer hunts then write articles about how great I am. (Jackie B., are you reading this?) I also don't hunt over feeders. I'm from the time long ago when you learned how to read Deer sign, pattern the Deer and then patiently waited for the one you wanted. Sometimes that was the very next morning, sometimes it was the last day of the season. Many times we never got a shot at the Deer we were hunting.

In this day and age of "Instant Gratification", a Deer is the last thing that should be produced on demand. If you don't have the time or patience for Deer hunting (I don't mean Deer shooting either), take up Golf or Bowling.

So, come along and let's really go Deer hunting. The type of hunting where you really scout your area and figure out what the Deer will be doing before they know what they're going to do, not climbing into a heated blind overlooking a 10 acre Green field and shoot a Deer at 200 yards.
