Deer Season

My blogging name is Shell Shocker. I am from the blogging group called thehuntinghomeboys. The one trait that sets us apart from other bloggers is that we are teenagers. Companies need to look at a teenager's point of view to see how to sell a product to everyone, not just older men and women.



One of our greatest passions is deer hunting. In Georgia, deer season came in last weekend. I went hunting on my uncle's farm the day it came in. It was perfect weather in the morning, but I slept in because we had a football game the previous day. It is too hot now to go hunting in the afternoon and see a good size deer. The wind was in my face, it was still and quiet, but the heat caused the deer to bed until it got cooler that night.

Before you go deer hunting, you should have the right equipment. When I went hunting that afternoon, I carried my Ruger .270 and my Federal Premium Ammunition cartridges. I wore Mossy Oak camouflage and my Wolverine boots. One of the most vital things I use is my Scent Away by Hunter's Specialties. Every time I see a deer they never smell me because of my scent blocker. Always be sure you are equipped right before you go hunting.

Three Ways Get An Elusive Buck

1 - Cold and Wet is a good Bet

My least favorite time to go hunting is when it is cold and raining. I am probably not the only person who does not prefer these times.

However one of the biggest bucks I have ever seen was when it was 35 degrees and raining. I don't know why deer prefer to move during this time all I know is they are moving.

My dad says it is because they have to keep eating to stay warm during cold weather. I keep warm and dry with my Remington 4 in 1 parka.



2 -Prime Time is Lunchtime

Another good time to go hunting is in the middle of the day. I had been hunting this one buck for two years and I had only seen him once.

My cousin was riding around our property at around 12:30 p.m. when he saw the buck eating in the middle of a field. When he told me my dad and I started hunting during midday.

The next weekend my dad and I went to the field where my cousin had seen the deer. My dad was on one side of the field and I was own the other. You have probably figured out by now that the buck came out on my dad's side.

What can I say? I guess he's just lucky. (not!)

3 - You're gonna choke unless you find the Oak

During the first few weeks of the season deer will hardly ever come out in a field to eat. There are just to many things to eat in the woods for them to come out in a field. One of the most common things that deer eat in the woods is acorns. Acorns will stay fresh until the first frost and where I live that is usually late November.

The best thing to do during the first few weeks of the season is to find a group of oak trees and set up a stand, preferably a climbing stand, between 25 to 40 yards away from the trees.

I prefer a Gorilla Greyback magnum deluxe climbing stand because they are light weight and extremely sturdy.
