Deer hunting guide

Finding a deer hunting guide isn't the most difficult thing to do. Most experienced hunters are happy to act as guide in their familiar area, and there are few more hunted animals than deer. Therefore, a deer hunting guide should be easy to find.

What you should look for in a deer hunting guide is both a level of experience, caution and, of course, woodsmanship. Your deer hunting guide doesn't need to be a champion hunter themselves - as a matter of fact, many of the best deer hunting guide s have given up the sport long since - just someone who can calmly make their way through the woods, get you to an optimal hunting place at an optimal hunting time, and keep it chilled.

Now, if you want to take your hunting to another level, your deer hunting guide should be able to help you there, too. You should start keeping a recorded strategy of your hunts. Record everything related to your experience, from the time you saw tracks or droppings, to quite obviously the place, to the weather to the moon phase. You'll also want to build a large reference map so that you can note exactly locations for all of the above. Software like google maps or mapquest can help you with this, and of course your deer hunting guide will most likely have or be able to provide you with a hard copy of a map of the area as well.

Your map should include notations on the type of local flora and fauna (which can vary greatly from area to area depending on whicdh part of the country you're in), where fields both begin and end, terrain features like wadis, knolls, hills and thickets, water (rivers, creeks, brooks, ponds, lakes), and swamps. You'll also want to make note of deer blinds; it's quite likely that your deer hunting guide will bring you to an area that is frequented by other hunters, many of whom will have made up a permanent residence in the area.

It's also good to note other things, such as prevailing wind directions and buck rubs and scrapes. Be aware, though, that this isn't all accomplished in a day. Completing a comprehensive deer hunting guide map will take you years of work, but will be worth it in the end. Patience and perseverence is what deer hunting is all about, after all.
