I was 27 years ago and it is extremely long and cold December week hunting deer in New England. We had been hunting hard all week, even before sunrise to sunset every day, never leaving the woods for a minute. I saw nothing.
I gave my booth at a friend's father's opening day that this gentleman really did not know the area. He was using a caliber 20 Mossberg bolt action rifle with just a bead sight. I crawled when I saw it, but kept his mouth shut. There were five deer pass him Opening the morning and hit one of them. Naturally, the shot was not positioned well and we finished the tracking for Buck hours before the blood trail was finally passed.
These are all measures that we had all week. Here it was Saturday morning, the wind seems dead is still 3 degrees out and I am absolutely freezing. As you know, it's always colder when you do not see something shoot. Finally, I found some movement from the corner of the eye. Slowly Turning my head, I see a fork horn his way into the think of mountain laurel. Now, I think what it is! Five more days to try to understand where the deer will bear fruit.
He works her down the path, real casual. I have my Ithaca model 37 12 gauge Deer Slayer ready to put this guy down. Just a little further and I'll have a clean shot from 30 yards. Then he stops and throws his head up so fast I thought he would break his neck. I could see his face as he rounded the sampled air. I'm sure he has never seen. He took off exactly in the right direction to take her away from me. And that's all. Follow this soup season.
Until then, I never really thought a Whitetails main defense is its sense of smell. Of course, I could buy it better than humans, but come on, how could it be? Who hunt taught me a lesson. And I began to wonder how common sense smell, sight and hearing is deer.
After doing some research, I was really surprised to discover Whitetails a sense of smell is something like 20-50 times better than humans (I think the meaning of my wife, smell is about the a deer!). That and the fact that they can feel the wind direction, no matter how small, so they can determine if the order comes to crime and get out of Dodge is simply incredible.
Now I take care to ensure that I minimize my perfume. There are a number products available today to destroy your footprint actual smell '. Support of Cover the skunk feels might work, but I always worry how these smells are authentic and if actually I'm waving a flag for deer as 'alive' use of perfumes. This is particularly true when archery and rifle hunting as beaches tend to be much closer than when shotgun.
Now I am a believer, and over the years I learned to put up several stands each side of the trail I look and choose the booth to take advantage of wind rather than having it take me!
