Information On Kentucky White Tail Deer Hunting

By Marci Nielsen


Whoever laid it down that one cannot teach old tricks to a new dog was quite mistaken. Even the most skilled hunters need to be updated on the latest hunting techniques. They need to think outside the box so as to broaden their perspective on their deer hunting knowledge. Many hunters have had to learn the hard way through trial and error methods but why go through all the trouble while there is so much information on the internet. In relation to this, the following is information on Kentucky white tail deer hunting.

For starters, hunters must be able to fit into the deer world. In order to attract them from the bushes, it is important for one to be wise. A grunt tube is used to produce the sounds deers make hence drawing them closer. A decoy whitetail deer can be placed on the field and this acts as a big way of drawing the rest nearer. Rattling sounds also act as a way to draw other deers making hunting easier.

Despite the fact that whitetail deers spend most of their time in the woods, it is possible for one to hunt them in a non- wooded area. The best time to do this is early in the morning when the sun is rising and late in the evening while the sun is setting. This is the time when these animals are out and about in search of food and water hence one is always supposed to be on the lookout.

Trail cameras have become a must have hunting asset in Kentucky. These assist the hunter to monitor his land without causing disturbance to other wildlife. There are many types of these, all with different price ranges and qualities. They also assist in monitoring the land and also record of deers as they mature and take count which help hunters estimate how many whitetail deers the may have on their farms.

Some hunters, especially those who are new to this field, love taking shortcuts when it comes to hunting. This is usually in the form of baiting as it draws deers closer making the hunter to have an easy time in the field. Others however, especially the seniors, consider this ethically wrong as they prefer to do it the old fashioned way. To back them up, in most cases, there are solid state laws to back them up.

Because the deer hunting world is such a competitive one, hunters in Kentucky are in search of all the ways that they can maintain a healthy deer population in their pieces of land. This means that they have to use deer attractants and make sure that they always maintain an attractive piece of land. They can do this by always having natural food plots, salt licks and minerals among others. Failure to this will lead to the deer population migrating to other pieces of land in search of greener pastures.

Whitetail deers have a very powerful nose. This means that they can easily detect foreign scent in the woods and once they do, they look for all the ways that they can escape. During the hunt therefore, hunters have to make sure that they are scent free together with all their tools.

Before a hunt one is also supposed to take a shower using a scent free bathing soap and shampoo. They are also required to make sure that all their equipment is free of human scent even if it requires washing them.
