Whitetail Deer Hunting for Beginners


Whitetail deer hunting is one of the most popular hunting genres in the entire world with more and more enthusiasts every year. For a first time whitetail deer hunter it can be a rather difficult thing to do that is why a few tips and tricks about this type of activity are needed in order to start out with decent results.





Experienced hunters recommend checking the hunting equipment when going into the stand, not later when a buck will eventually walk out. Check if your scope is clear, the shells in the chamber or if you use a bow, check if your bow will draw back properly. There are many issues to take into consideration that is why we strongly advise to prepare well ahead.





If you plan on hunting whitetail deer in a food plot or a large field it is recommended to do it during the late hours of the day. Remember that deer like heavy cover so it is advisable to try and clear a path through the cover that you consider these animals might be using. The whitetail deer usually prefers using the easiest routes possible. Once you have set up a path, hunt over the built path in a hunting tree stand.





If using deer calls isn't your cup of tea ( mainly because you are afraid of scaring these animals ), it is advisable to use it only after you see a deer that you are not willing to shoot. Once you have done so, you will notice that it doesn't scare them and you will observe their reactions. Be sure to use the most suitable calls, otherwise the animals will get suspicious.





The best advice possible is to hunt whenever you have the possibility. Experience is crucial, only by going out there in the wilderness you will learn more about their habitat, feeding habits and other characteristics that you will eventually use in your advantage. We strongly suggest that you follow our advice and the next time you have the possibility to hunt, don't hesitate, you know what they say: practice makes perfect and this is statement is entirely applicable for hunting not only whitetail deer but other animals as well.





When you are about to hunt in a new area, it is advisable to hunt at a new stand each day for a short period of time as this is the most efficient way to learn about the deer movement routes. If you spot a deer and shoot it and afterwards you jump it up a very short distance from the position you have made the shot, it is advisable to stand back and give it time to take its last breath, if you shot it during the late hours of the day it is recommended to wait overnight.





If you plan on hunting whitetail deer with a bow, experienced hunters recommend doing it from a tree stand because it is way more efficient in comparison with hunting from ground level. Another advice, use only one pin because it is easier to aim high or low on the whitetail deer than attempt to remember to use a specific one when the large one walks out.





We hope that our suggestions will come in hand and on your first attempts on hunting these animals you will get at least decent results. Remember; practice every time you have the chance.

For the exsperienced fellas?
I was hunting three weeks ago for whitetail up in east Colorado. My dad and I were hunting up on some private farm land. This land hasen't been hunted in 5 years so the deer are comfortable there. My dad and I got settled in by these group of trees and about 500-600 yards away (I don't have a range finder, dad's too cheap XD) were these small heard of deer. There was this massive 10 point buck with a lot of mass. I could tell that he was a mature buck because when I saw him his neck and bodyy was so big I had mistaken him for a cow at first glance. I stalked these deer for about three hours but couldn't get a good shot at em because they were 400 yards away or more most of the time. I got a smaller 8 point buck that day but missed the big one. I plan on next year going back and getting him if I get another tag. I shoot a Savage 30-06 with a 180 grain bullet right now. I just shoot remington core-lockt bullets. Is it possible if I practice a lot this next year to shoot a deer around 500 yards away? Or am I just dreamin, or taking too much of a chance? My other question is I want to start practicing at taking 350 yard shots with my gun. What is the best way to improve my shooting skills? My dad suggested putting a brake on my 30-06 and practice with that.(the lower recoil will alow me to shot more rounds in one sitting) My gun smith suggested getting a 204 and practice prarie dog shooting at 400-1000 yards. And Then I had an old friend of mine tell me that I should try putting reduces recoil bullets in my 243 and practice with that then move up to my 30-06 with reduced recoil bullets. (My dad didn't think this was a good idea seeing as reduced recoil bullets have less powder and they are only 125 grain bullets and that messes up my trejectory and point of impact too much and I should just stay with my regular bullets) So what are your opinions? Does anyone have any exsperience shooting an animal at 300+ yards. I'd like to hear your story. Just give me any good adivce really. I love animals and I don't want to take too much of a chance on them at wounding them. I don't want to see them suffer. That's why i didn't take the 400+yrd shot at first. I didn't trust myself to hit where I wanted. But it was hard not to take a wild shot at a buck that massive. Also does anyone know of any good books or websites that give great advise on Whitetail hunting? Maybe in the plains to be specific. That would help a lot. I also had a doe in heat bleat in my back pack, but I didn't want to take a chance at scaring them away because I have never used calls before. I want to get a rattle pack but don't know if it's worth the money to get one. Down here whitetails are much more agressive than mule deer so I figured a rattle pack might help bring them in closer. Any good videos that you know of that would teach me how to use calls right? and what calls would you reccomend if any? Thanks to everyone in advance! Alright I would like to let people know that I have absolutly no money. So I can't afford a new rifle. I don't want a new one anyways because I like this rifle and need to use it to practice for africa.
