DEER HUNTING

Autumn is one of my favorite times of the year. Its finally getting cooler and the humidity is gone. The leaves are changing and there is a crispness in the air and we all know what that means......ITS DEER SEASON ONCE AGAIN!   Beginning in October you will start to see more road kill deer and hear more reports about road kill deer than any other time of the year. This is because the female deer, doe, go into heat at this time of year and the bucks get wind of them, which gets them all hot and bothered. Therefore, the bucks are running around chasing the doe and trying to get a piece of theaction so to speak. So the deer population is running around a lot more than normal, especially at night when most deer get hit on the roads.   Just a fair warning to any hunter thinking of putting doe-in-heat urine on themselves to attract the bucks. This stuff drives bucks bonko and you may very well get your deer sausage,but in a place where you'd least expect it. I tried this early on in my hunting career and was sore for a week........so I don't recommend it, unless you're a glutton for punishment.   In days long gone, deer had many predators to keep their population in check, the way Mother Nature intended.Wolves, Panthers, Cougars and Native American Indians would hunt them for their needs which kept them in check. Most of the deer's natural predators are now gone, causing an exponential population growth of the herd. So that's where I come in. I hunt them. Not only because I like to hunt, test my skills and be in the outdoors, but also because I like to eat deer. If I didn't eat them, I doubt I would hunt them.   I have harvested scores of deer over the years and have tried most of the popular methods, which have not worked very well. I have developed my own hunting methods over the years and have had great success with them. Below, I'll share with you some of my never before revealed proprietary deer hunting methods. I'm only showing them now, because I doubt that even with my powerful methods, a dent can be put into the population. So, here they are...........   WHOLE DEER IMPALING METHOD Outfit the front of your truck with a steel grate with sharp spikes coming out of it. Each spike should be about 14 inches long. I would recommend about 4 spikes total.(Check your local laws on this) Stainless steel makes some nice clean spikes if you can afford it and can find someone to weld them to the grate. Now, once you have your truck outfitted, drive down back country roads during an Autumn night at a fairly good rate of speed. When you see a deer in the middle of the road, don't slow down, just keep up your speed and nail it, so to speak. The force of the impact should drive the spikes into the deer killing it instantly and securely holding it to the grate. This allows a road kill without bruising the meat. You should check your local laws to see if you have to report the kill. In most states, you have to report it and then you can keep it. My redneck buddies down in Kentucky showed me this trick and its a goody. I've taken up to 5 deer in one night using this method.   CROSSING SIGN METHOD Most hunters spend lots of time and energy scouting out the territory looking for that perfect place to make their hunting stand. I personally don't have the time for that, especially since your local department of transportation tells you exactly where they travel. If you ever drive down the road, I'm sure you've seen the "Deer X-ing" signs. Why do you think they are there? Its because the state has determined the safest crossing point for the deer and the signs tell the deer to cross there for maximum safety. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure it out. Just find one of those signs and hunt near it. Be sure to get permission from the landowner and be sure you are the required distance from the road. You will watch deer crossing by these signs all day long, and should be able to get your limit on opening day.   APPLE METHOD Most seasoned hunters know that deer love apples, but they fail to put that knowledge to good use. There are two ways to use this particular method. The first way is to just sit under an apple tree and wait for the deer to come to eat. When they get up to the tree......BAAAAAM!!! Let 'em have it. Now in many areas where you want to hunt, there will be no apple trees, so the next best thing is to just buy some apples at the grocery store. Be sure to put your bayonet on your rifle in the morning. When you get to your hunting stand, put an apple or two on the bayonet and hold it still, out from your body. The deer will smell the apples and come up to the bayonet to feast. BAAAAAM!!! Let 'em have it. They just don't get any closer than that.   WATER METHOD Deer are doing a lot of running during the gun season due to the hunting pressure. They get thirsty just like anyone else. So, postion yourself by a pond or stream. When they come up for a drink......BAAAAAM!!! Let 'em have it. This is simple, but not quite as effective as the "Apple Method".   FRUSTRATED HUNTER METHOD Have you ever been hunting all day, braving the elements, not seeing one deer all day? So as the day comes to a close you pack up and head back to your truck. As you near your truck you unload your gun, thinking there is no way you will see a deer now. As you get to within 50 feet of your truck, two does and one buck go strolling past you right in front of your truck, completely oblivious to you. Its almost like they know you unloaded your gun and will be PO'd. So, here's the solution to that. Just keep one of your hunting buddies hidden in the truck all day. He can get the last shot in when they come strolling by.
