A Few Tips For Guided Trophy Deer Hunts

By Larry Hall


Deer are mammals that have antlers which they grow and shed each year unlike antelopes which have permanent horns. They appear in artworks starting from cave paintings to modern ones and are given important roles in literature, religion and mythology. Economic wise, their importance is with their antlers used for knife handles, buckskin and meat called venison.

Hunting them was popular during at least the Middle Ages and their popularity still remains today and their importance for business. Going into guided trophy deer hunts Texas is possible with an experienced hunter guiding you in your first hunt. The following are a few tips that might help you have a successful hunting trip.

Deer are good at smelling and human odor could spook them so when you shower, use a soap which has no scent before you hunt and avoid your clothes getting contaminated. Seal them inside bags or plastic containers with leaves, dirt and other ground debris until your location. Doing this will make your clothing take the scents that are natural there.

Most hunters think the best way to attract bucks is with doe estrous though not every situation will be suitable for its use. Deerstalkers must take advantage of the territorial instructions these stags have when the season is still early. Smelling an estrous will not make sense at this time though the smell that others have would peak their curiosity.

Most hunters would spray odor eliminator down after they suit up but before making their way into the stand. Experienced ones though would bring this odor eliminator at the tree stand and will spray themselves there. While applying yourself with it, pay attention to your hair and hat specially because most people forget to include them.

Setting scents up have usually used the accepted rules of playing with wind but the one deadliest defies this. Find timber or cover that has wind blowing along its length and pour a few deer odor on several areas of its windy end. Set at the timber edge your tree stand and when properly done, your human smell would flow above deer.

Practice with setting up your tree stand and taking it down before the season starts and do this in the low parts of trees. The key to get a look at good bucks is getting in and out of your spot very quietly as much as you could. Accidents while up there so remember to wear safety harness on your body to avoid falling down from the tree.

If you like to scout the hunting area then aerial photos could greatly help you with that and instead of flying over it, use Google maps instead. Do not disturb hunting areas or trim shooting lanes during the season. Summer is usually the best time for this because old deer could associate timbers which are freshly cut with human activities.

These few tips might be helpful with your first experience in hunting so do not forget them. Follow instructions given by the guide properly and remember them well. And have patience while you wait of getting your first buck as a trophy.
