Shed Hunting-Great Off Season Activity

Hi there...are you feeling the urge to get out hunting whitetails? Are you having withdrawals yet? If you are, I can completely understand.

I have always promoted and still do, that you need to scout year round to have greater success during the upcoming hunting season.

Part of my year round habits also incorporates some fun; shed hunting. This is a great idea for a number of reasons. Not the least of which is getting out of the house back through the old stomping grounds and seeing what the winter has done, but looking into new hunting areas for the upcoming season.

Don't get me wrong, finding some shed is a definite bonus. I just went out this past Sunday. Unfortunately I didn't have any luck with shed but I did have luck in some other areas.

The freshly fallen snow allowed me to see some new deer trails through my property. I also found a couple of new bedding areas I did not know were being frequented by some deer in the area. It also provided me with more options for ground blinds and deer cameras.

I also was able to identify some predator tracks. I had been out early in the season doing some hunting, but was unable to call in any coyotes.

All in all, I feel it was a good trip into the woods. I encourage you to take some time and head out for yourself.

Preparing now, finding deer camera locations and more over, identifying the habits of the deer in your area will give you vital information for the entire season.

Planting Food Plots For Deer Is Your Key To Hunting Success

Every hunter knows that having multiple opportunities to bag a mature deer is important to overall success when hunting. There are many ways a hunter can increase the odds in his favor, using good camo, good stand placement, scent control, calling and more. But nothing can be more effective than by providing the whitetail in your area with the nutrition that they need.

Planting food plots for deer can be a key component to your success this hunting season. Getting food plots planted is not something you can do at the last minute. It takes time to find the right location, test and prepare the soil, plant the seed, control the weeds and more.

Another key when planting deer food plots is to make sure that the plots are planted in such a way that they provide the whitetail with nutrition through the year. Deer have varying needs through the seasons. The minerals they need during the summer is completely different from the protein and fats they need for the long hard winter, especially for those of you who live in the area of the country that gets plenty of snowy weather.

If you are serious about hunting whitetails, then you have to honestly consider planting food plots for deer. This will give you the best chance to gain and maintain a huge number of mature and nutritionally fit bucks.
