Scouting for Whitetail Deer
Now is the time of the year to be out in the woods
scouting for whitetail deer. Although the deer will
not be in exactly the same pattern and using the
same game trails necessarily that they do during
the hunting season, you can determine if there
are deer in the general area. You can also
find trails, food sources, deer rubs, water
sources, and other items that will help you
pattern your trophy buck for the coming
deer hunting season.
Deer are very susceptive to pressure,
even indirect pressure from unusual movement
of people and vehicles. People who travel
outdoors regularly in an area, such as oil
well pumpers, utility workers, and farmers,
regularly see deer in the same general area
year round. However, the deer become
accustomed to seeing these outdoor travelers
and this becomes part of their regular routine
also, so they don't necessarily alter their
travel routes.
However, when hunters begin scouting their
hunting areas, they usually do so at different
times of the day and in different ways than
the pumpers and farmers. This alerts the deer
that something is unusual and they will alter
their travel times and routes.
Deer will also change their routine travel
routes and times because of the rut, expecially
bucks. They will move during different times of
the day and along different routes than they
will during other times of the year.
Other activity such as building deer stands
and planting food plots and crops and cleaning
up around the camp area also alert deer that
something unusual is happening and this will
also alter their movement times and travel areas.
Different types of food also make deer move
to different areas as the food becomes available.
Deer really like to eat acorns when the acorns
are available. If there is a bumper crop of acorns,
the deer will not have to move as far or as much
as they do in the years when the acorns are scarce.
Deer will also frequent food plots planted with
oats, rye, peas and other food plots. The
best type of food plot is one that combines all
of the different types of food that deer like.
By planting all of the different kinds, you are
offering a buffet to the deer, so that they will
become accustomed to finding whatever type of food
is ready at any time.
You should plant these food plots as early as
possible, in order for the deer to have time to
find them before hunting season arrives. You
should also keep food plots and forage plots
growing year round so that deer will remain in
the same general area. By planting early, deer
will have time to find and use the food plots
on a regular basis. This also allows the deer
to settle down after running a tractor or
other vehicles in the area.
Probably the most important part is to move your deer
stands into the area and get set up well before hunting
season starts. This will allow the deer to become
accustomed as much as possible to the stand. Even
then, the deer will alter their routes to avoid
the stand as much as possible. This is the indirect
pressure that makes deer alter their travel routes
to avoid danger. They come to learn that deer
stands usually mean danger and will skirt the
area, keeping brush between the stands and them.
You should also got to your hunting area that
you have decided to hunt, and spend some time
checking the area for fresh sign such as tracks
and tree rubs. Tracks can tell you a lot about
the size and number of deer in an area.
Many, many articles have been written about
whether or not you can tell whether or not a
deer is a buck by the size and impression of
deer tracks. My theory is that it really
doesn't matter whether the tracks are made
by a buck or a doe. The bucks will come to
the doe whenever she is ready to mate, and
therefore, if you are at the right place at
the right time, you will be able to look at
the deer's head and tell if it is a buck or a doe.
Scouting the area for tracks can also tell you whether or
not you are hunting in an area without any deer at all.
If you are not seeing tracks and other sign of
deer, like droppings, tree rubs, etc., you need
to keep looking until you do.
When you are scouting, you should dress and move
as if you were hunting. You wouldn't think of
going hunting during the season without your
camoflage and deer scent. You should't scout
this way either. You want to move as quietly
and with as little noise and scent as possible.
It is also a good time to try different deer
lure scents and cover up scents also. My theory
on deer lure scents is to have several different
kinds of scents available. If deer have been
shot at right after smelling a lure scent, their
memory of the danger will in most probability
alert them the next time they get that scent.
I believe in carrying and using different lure
scents just the same as I believe in changing
fishing lures when bass fishing.
The whitetail deer is very easily spooked and
is highly alert at all times. The deer's nose
is probably his best warning system of danger.
If you can use deer scent to offset this strong
point of the deer, you can help better your
chances of getting the Boone and Crockett or
Pope and Young Trophy you have been trying to get.
This is also a good time to try a new
deer call or grunt call. If you happen to find
a deer while scouting, you might get a good
chance to see how the deer react to the sound
of the call.
This is also an excellent ttime to hunt with
you camera to get some of those pictures you
always wish you had.
These are just some of the benefits of early
scouting, besides being a good day outdoors.
Good bye, good luck, and enjoy the great outdoors.
