An Article On Kentucky White Tail Deer Hunting

By Marci Nielsen


Whoever laid it down that one cannot teach old tricks to a new dog was quite mistaken. Even the most skilled hunters need to be updated on the latest hunting techniques. They need to think outside the box so as to broaden their perspective on their deer hunting knowledge. Many hunters have had to learn the hard way through trial and error methods but why go through all the trouble while there is so much information on the internet. In relation to this, the following is information on Kentucky white tail deer hunting.

For starters, hunters must be able to fit into the deer world. In order to attract them from the bushes, it is important for one to be wise. A grunt tube is used to produce the sounds deers make hence drawing them closer. A decoy whitetail deer can be placed on the field and this acts as a big way of drawing the rest nearer. Rattling sounds also act as a way to draw other deers making hunting easier.

There are hunters who love hunting in the woods while there are those who only hunt them in open areas. This is due to the fact that the former can be quite a challenge especially if one has not mastered their trails. One should however hunt them during the early mornings and when the sun is setting as these are the times when they come out of the woods in search of food and water.

Among other tools, having a trail camera is one of the important things to consider especially among hunters in Kentucky. These have a wide array of uses and there are many types, all with different prices and quality. Once installed on the land, they monitor the piece of land without causing any form of disturbance whatsoever to other wildlife. They also take record of deers as they grow. In addition to that, they take count of seers hence the hunter is able to estimate the number of deers on his farm.

Some hunters, especially those who are new to this field, love taking shortcuts when it comes to hunting. This is usually in the form of baiting as it draws deers closer making the hunter to have an easy time in the field. Others however, especially the seniors, consider this ethically wrong as they prefer to do it the old fashioned way. To back them up, in most cases, there are solid state laws to back them up.

In the competitive hunting world, land owners and hunters are looking for all the means and ways of maintaining a good population on their piece of land. Deer attractants will stop whitetail deer families from moving to other lands in search of better nutrients and water. This includes having natural food plots, salt licks and mineral blocks among others.

Among the many precautions that one should take during hunts, hunters should always make sure that they wear scent free clothing. This is due to the fact that deers are very quick in detecting foreign scent and when they do, they look for all possible escape routes.

Before a hunt one is also supposed to take a shower using a scent free bathing soap and shampoo. They are also required to make sure that all their equipment is free of human scent even if it requires washing them.
