An Article 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.

To start with, it is important for one to practice the use of deer calls. If they are used correctly, they can improve ones hunting skills. Research has proved that when one is able to speak their language, they can move in for a closer look which will present the right moment to catch it. These deer calls include using the grunt tube, making of rattling sounds or even using a decoy to attract the rest.

There are hunters who love hunting in the woods while there are those who only hunt them in open areas. This is due to the fact that the former can be quite a challenge especially if one has not mastered their trails. One should however hunt them during the early mornings and when the sun is setting as these are the times when they come out of the woods in search of food and water.

Among other tools, having a trail camera is one of the important things to consider especially among hunters in Kentucky. These have a wide array of uses and there are many types, all with different prices and quality. Once installed on the land, they monitor the piece of land without causing any form of disturbance whatsoever to other wildlife. They also take record of deers as they grow. In addition to that, they take count of seers hence the hunter is able to estimate the number of deers on his farm.

To bait or not to bait; this is an issue that has been raising many heads in Kentucky. Those who are against it argue that it is not fair to kill the whitetail deer just because it was drawn to the scent of food. Most of the young hunters however love this as makes hunting to be very easy. The seniors however consider this wrong and to second this, sometimes there are laws against baiting.

The deer hunting world is such a competitive one. Due to this fact, hunters in Kentucky are looking for all the ways that they can keep a get a healthy deer population on their farms. This is by using attractants such as natural food plots, salt licks among others. These mainly prevent the deer population from moving to other areas in search of food and water.

Hiding human scent is one of the most crucial steps to take so as to have a successful hunt. Whitetail deers have a very powerful odor nose such that they can easily detect a foreign scent. It is important to wash hunting clothes in scent free detergent.

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.
