Your best deer hunting tip!!

I've lernt to keep me shooter real handy when yer arse is hanging over a log nay-kidd.
Ruhmor hazz it that nose jammer works.
Spray yer krawtch with it and see whut happens.

Good luck.

Oh, don't go looking at chit with your scope in case it's a two leggid kritter.
 
Thanks Trev,

This is awesome advice. Even I don't get anything I'm looking forward to spending time in the bush. Got a huge job to finish and then I've rewarded myself and rented a cabin for a few days to focus on hunting. Time to put some miles on.

Hmmm, I never would've thought about the crows or squirrels. So used to hearing them all the time for no reason. Thanks for the great tip.
 
Mind how far you walk, you'll have to drag the deer back. Also watch where you walk, avoid areas with lots of dead fall. There's nothing like dragging a deer out of that! One of those little deer carts is very handy for getting your deer out, saves a lot of time and trouble. Just make sure the tires aren't flat!

BINGO, I learnt this from an old First Nations dude. I heard him say to Jr when he asked why are those birds squawking and circling up there, he answered: they are telling you there is a deer right down there and they want you to make a gut pile for them!

Tip: make a small fire and stand in the smoke just before heading out to hunt. Some folks say that doesn't work, some folks just don't know!;)

And they're also excellent for letting you know if you're still hunting slowly and quietly enough. Ever notice how the bush seems dead until you've stopped walking and been sitting for 10-15 minutes to let everything settle down and the forest suddenly comes to life with birds and small game as they think you've passed through the area?

You know you're still hunting properly when the birds are singing and the squirrels are going about their business. Funnest way of hunting deer and I easily see 3x more deer/animals when compared to stand hunting.

Great advice about the birds!
 
Always dress for the weather. You never know when it will change. It is better to take something off if you get hot, then to be out in the cold and miserable.

Goodo to know as patience isn't generally my best quality. But I don't mind being still in the woods as long as I get a change in scenery once in awhile.
 
Deer hunting got easy for me the day I figured out that deer hunting and fishing worked the same way. Food and cover, sanctuary and travel areas. Escaple strategys. Ones under water but basically the same thing.

I'll add in that as soon as you take the rifle out of the case, check that the scope is not dialled up to full magnification! BTDT.
Got busted by a dry doe while fresh outta the vehicle, and it was a bit of a scramble! Got her anyways, but it was more luck than planning, that time.

Cheers

Best sarcastic tip I've heard while hunting, and this was hilarious, shot my deer walk up to it and I say out loud "I think im in love", and my cousin says don't make love to it, it will just spoil the meat. Best sarcastic hunting tip ive ever heard.
 
The best tip I can give you as a new Hunter come to Haida Gwaii hunt the beaches at low tide deer are not as skittish on the beach compared to the logging roads
Your allowed to harvest 5 deer with a 15 for the year limit if you want to build experience fast come to Haida Gwaii
