HUNTING MASTERY
Deer Hunting a Short Hoof
Deer Hunting a Short Hoof is among the most popular among all forms of hunting. One reason for this is that the United States has a healthy deer population, but the real reason is that they are extremely sensitive animals that change their behavior depending on time of the day, the weather, the mating season, and so on. The result is that deer present the hunter with a challenge like no other animal.
Deer hunting requires the hunter to all the factors affecting the animal’s behavior singly, all at once, or any combination that may result from the environment. Deer hunting can be conducted with the bow or with the rifle.
Different states have their own regulations and laws for deer hunting and you must pay attention to them to avoid prosecution. Hunting may happen on public or private hunting grounds depending on several factors.
Unlike herbivores, deer tend to be nocturnal. This is because their travels between feeding areas take place between sunrise and sunset. Most hunting grounds give hunters half an hour after dusk or before dawn to hunt deer. As with most nocturnal animals the moon has a considerable effect on their behavior. A good hunter knows that this should also be factored into the game plan. You need to know the correct time for sunrise and sunset and you also need to know the cycles of the moon during hunting season. Success at deer hunting is not something you can have at your convenience. If you plan to go hunting when you feel like it, then you are only going to meet frustration.
Even if you are not a hunter you should be aware that deer are well known for their keen sense of danger. Deer has excellent sense of sight, smell, and sound.
Even the sound of snow falling on the ground is enough to set them running. Therefore, even the best camouflage does not work with deer because they can easily smell predators. Deer hunters prefer stands built on trees as the best place to stay away from the hypersensitivity of deer.
The fall mating season is preferred by some deer hunters because deer behavior during mating season tends to be incautious. Mating season lasts for around a month and hunters can be seen frequenting hunting grounds because their job is a lot easier at this time. It is also the only time when bucks and does can be seen during mid-day because aside from the mating season the mid-day is the resting period for deer.
