Hunting tip of the Week
Get out their early & often! That's right, it is important that you begin to get your Hunting dog out into the field as soon as you can & as often as you can. Most hunting Dogs have not been doing much over the spring & summer months.
Your dog will need some time to get back into the swing of things.
Dove season is a good time to get your dog out in the field. Let your dog run around freely in the field & have him retrieve your daily limit... that is if you can bag your daily limit.

•  Ultimate Hunting Tip #1 (Pre-season scouting)
  Pre-season scouting is very important in harvesting an animal consistently. Pre-season scouting can give you clues to bedding and feeding patterns, game trails and watering holes. Patterning deer by thorough scouting will make you a more successful hunter.
   
•  Ultimate Hunting Tip #2 (Where to place your stand)
  
  You need to place your stand about 25 feet, 25 to 100 yards for you rifle hunters, from a major game trail. You can find these trails if you search the area between a good feeding field and a bedding area. If their is snow on the ground it is easier to find these game trails.
  Your stand should be at least 14 feet above the ground. This will put you above the normal area that deer search for danger. Try to choose a tree that is close to other trees and branches that will break your outline. If you place your stand in a tree that looks like a power pole, you will stick out like a sore thumb

• Ultimate Hunting Tip #3 (Know when deer have passed)
  
  At the height of a deer's throat, tie regular sewing thread between two trees across a known deer trail. You can go higher, about the height of a deer's antlers, to see if any bucks have been through. Remember have fun and enjoy the outdoors.
  
   
• Ultimate Hunting Tip #4 (Set up next to a food plot)
  
  Food plots are a very important part of a deer's daily routine. I set up my stand over looking a clover field, a week before opening day. I didn't get a chance to hunt in the morning, but I wasn't worried, I knew the deer were coming out to feed just before dusk. I ended up getting to my stand around 4:30 PM and the deer came out just like clockwork around 5:30. Think food plots and good luck.
  
   
• Ultimate Hunting Tip #5 (Scout for deer along fences)
  
  Follow along fence lines, when you are scouting for deer trails. Look for places where the top of the fence is lower than the average height or the bottom of the fence is higher than average. These places are usually caused by twisted or loose fence wires. Deer will choose these places to cross the fence line. If you find a well used deer trail, with fresh sign in it, place your deer stand nearby.
  
   
• Ultimate Hunting Tip #6 (Look for key things)
  
  When you are scouting for deer, you need to look for key things. Look for fresh deer droppings and fresh tracks. Look for well used deer trails and feeding areas. Also look for buck rubs on trees and buck scrapes on the ground. When you find all of these key things, you know you have found a good place to hunt.
  
   
• Ultimate Hunting Tip #7 (What does a scrape look like)
  
  When the rut comes around, a great sign of a buck in the area is when you see scrapes. I've noticed that often, hunters don't know exactly what a scrape looks like. Cleared patches of leaves or dirt made by other animals or other hunters can easily be mistaken for a scrape. If you think you see a scrape, don't get too excited until you check it out, without getting too close and leaving any of your scent near it, of course. You know it's a scrape if you see fresh hoof prints in it, there are rubs near by, and if it's right in front of a tree with overhanging branches which bucks use to lick, rub scent on and also rub their antlers on. This rubbing will usually break some of the smaller branches which will be left hanging down or they will fall to the ground. The buck generously applies his scent in the scrape, which serves as a signal to does that he is in the area and available, and this is a warning to other bucks that this is his territory and they'd better stay out, or risk a fight. If you hunt by a scrape, check it often and make sure it is being kept fresh, and never hunt directly on top of a scrape. In the peak rut, bucks make scrapes that they never return to. Keep these things in mind when you're thinking about hunting by a scrape.
  
   
• Ultimate Hunting Tip #8 (Ways to walk into your stand)
  
  When walking to your deer stand you should always remember to use a different route than the ones you used on your previous hunting days. The deer will pattern you, if you walk the same route into your stand every day. Some of your routes will be longer so remember to allow more time and change your route every day.
  
   
• Ultimate Hunting Tip #9 (Don't get caught)
  
  Have you ever been in your deer stand and had deer see your stand ladder and look right up at you. The way to trick the deer is to take fallen branches from the forest floor and set them against your ladder as camouflage. This trick has worked for me and I'll bet it will work for you.
  
   
• Ultimate Hunting Tip #10 (Hiding your stand)
  
  This is how I hide my tree stand. Some trees are better for this than others, just remember small is best. I use small pines in my area. Pull branches from trees around your stand and bend them towards your stand. Tie them together using cord or light gauge wire. Form the branches into a semi circle in front of your stand, only cutting what would impede the raising of your gun or bow. This will help hide you and your stand. At seasons end, just cut the cord or wire and the branches will go back to their original place.
  
   
• Ultimate Hunting Tip #11 (Pull up rope)
  
  Do you use a pull up rope to get your weapon up to your stand? Did you remember to wash it with unscented soap and treat it with your favorite cover scent? A 20' piece of rope that hasn't been treated properly could give off a lot of bad odors. At the end of your hunt take your pull up rope with you. If you leave your rope at the stand, and it does have a bad odor, the scent will stay long after you're gone and the deer will avoid your stand area.
  
   
• Ultimate Hunting Tip #12 (Hide that stand)
  
  Here is a trick I experimented with and found that it works. If you ever have to replace your artificial X-mas tree, save the branches. As long as it does not interfere with your stands structural integrity, drill a few holes just big enough to insert the branches into. Bend them around to help break up your outline.
  Now, like I said, do nothing that will damage the stands integrity. If you feel you will possibly do some damage, check out Dubro.com and look for the Pine Ridge Archery link. They manufacture clamp and slip on type branch holders that work just fine. Give it a try this fall.
  
   
• Ultimate Hunting Tip #13 (Moving to and from your stand)
  
  When heading to your stand in the early morning hours walk through the woods trying to avoid open fields where deer will most likely still be feeding. When leaving your stand and the sun is still up try walking through open areas so you don't accidentally walk into a bedding area. Always remember, when walking to and from your stand, walk where you think the deer won't be.
  
   
• Ultimate Hunting Tip #14 (Finding your stand in the dark)
  
  One of the best ways to find your stand in the dark is to use reflective tape to mark your trail. Place the reflective tape on each site of clothes pins. Before your hunting season starts, just clip the clothes pins on the branches as you go to your stand. You can also use reflective thumbtacks or reflective limb lights, these reflective trail markers can be found in the hunting section at Wal-Mart. Now you can use a flashlight and you will find your way to and back from your stand very easily in the dark. After the season is over, just pick up the clothes pins and you can use them again next season.
  
   
• Ultimate Hunting Tip #15 (Where to place your stand)
  
  Find yourself a well-traveled deer trail. You should find a spot that is about 10 - 30 yards away from the deer trail for archery and about 50 - 100 yards for shotgun, muzzleloader or rifle. If possible set your stand so your back is to the sun, so when the deer look in your direction they will be looking into the sun. This will give you the sight advantage. If you hunt in the morning, you should be facing West. If you hunt in the afternoon, you should be facing East. If you plan on hunting all-day you should be facing North, that way the sun is always to your back or side. If at all possible place your stand with the wind in your face, so your scent will flow away from the deer trail. If you have to choose between the sun at your back or the wind in your face, go with the wind in your face. This will work for ground stands and elevated stands.
  
   
• Ultimate Hunting Tip #16 (Wait at least 30 minutes)
  
  When you shoot a deer it is a good idea to wait at least 30 minutes before you start tracking it. This will let the wound set in and give the deer a chance to lay down and stiffen up. If you go after the deer right away, its adrenaline will kick in and it could go for miles.

• Ultimate Hunting Tip #17 (Finding that wounded deer)
  
  A deflected arrow caused a poorly hit buck to leave no blood trail. The next morning while searching every thicket in the area where I last saw the buck, I found him alive and standing in 3 feet of water in a deep backwoods pond. Was the buck trying to heal himself or did the cool water just feel good? Try looking for water when all else fails and the trail goes cold while following a poorly hit deer.
  
   
• Ultimate Hunting Tip #18 (Tracking wounded deer)
  
  Always give your deer at least 20 to 30 minutes to run off before getting down to look at what kind of hit you have gotten. If you saw the deer go down or if you have a killer blood trail chances are your shot is good and your deer is probably down. If you know you have a bad hit leave it alone and don't push it. Leave the area for a few hours and come back later. Wounded deer tend to go for thick cover and water, especially a gut shot deer.
  
   
• Ultimate Hunting Tip #19 (Best spot to shoot a deer)
  
  The best place to shoot a deer is in the chest area. Find the best aiming point on a deer by picking a spot one third to halfway up the side of the deer and right behind the front shoulder. The chest area holds major vital organs and veins and arteries. The chest area is one of the easier shoots to make, because it is one of the largest areas of the deer. The chest shot will damage very little meat and will result in a quick and humane kill of the deer. For more information on shot placement, see Shot Placement

  Hunting Tips Don’t make the assumption that big bucks will use the same feeding areas in September and October that they used in July and August. Deer feeding preferences can change dramatically from late summer to early fall.    Ultimate Hunting Tip When possible, shoot all subjects, both horizontally and vertically. You will be amazed at the difference in composition. Often one format renders a stronger image than the other.   Ultimate Hunting Tip Good optics, from binoculars to your rifle scope, can mean the difference between spotting and missing game. It pays to buy high end optics. As long as you take good care of them, they’ll last for many, many years.   Ultimate Hunting Tip When buying arrows, have the vanes or feathers angled.
