ever since ive been bow hunting i just cant get the deer in about 20-30 yards. would you have a little advice you can give me on how to call or whatever it takes to get a deer within 20-30 yards from my stand?I need advice on how to get a deer in closer?
Hi Matt, well everyone here is telling you scent control. This is perhaps the MOST important factor. You should check into where the current trails are being used by them. Right now, the deer in my area are in prerut and can be called in fairly easily. You can try using doe in heat scents, and now is especially good with rattling antlers. You could try having a hunting partner with you as well. You never know what you don't see so another pair of eyes might be the trick. Try to be downwind, and completely quiet.
I knew one guy that smoked while he was hunting, and knowing this I moved about 100 yards upwind of him. I saw a lot of deer. He never even got a glimpse.
Move your stand left or right say 10 feet or so and you won't be at as high of an alert position. Try not to daydream while you hunting, as you could miss some settle movement that is close by. Really try not sleeping as well.
Make sure your view is not blocked by smaller trees and brush. Try to keep a good shooting lane open to you.I need advice on how to get a deer in closer?
Could be a problem with your stand placement. If the deer are consistently passing in the same spot, you might move your stand closer to the trail. I've had luck with scents and calls as well. Baiting is illegal here, so make sure you check your local laws before you listen to someone who doesn't know where you live. This is the challenge of bow hunting. You will see lots of game, it's usually just out of range. Enjoy the experience and realize that this is what bow hunting is all about. If it wasn't challenging, why would we do it?
if baiting is not legal try food plots, if your hunting on your own land that is. and scent control, have the wind in your face. and hope you've got some luck on your side.
bait pile corn, apples, cranberrys whatever
better camo breakup, SCENT CONTROL...!!!! cant stress it enough...and also if ur state allows it try food
