RE: New to deer hunting- need help
 

Well we have talked about wind and stuff already, so I will just add that deer like edges, places where things change, like woods to fields, wherejunctions of terrain come together like trees andfields and bedding areas. Trails can converg there. Look for places of different surroundings ( terrain ) where trails through them combinedown to a single trail.Look for saddles, or points of woods that stick out to a food source and gives the deer a little extra cover.

RE: New to deer hunting- need help
 

Well I went hunting today- the farmer started cutting the bean field so I was able to walk where the wind would blow my scent away from where I think the deer are- about an hour into my hunt the wind started blowing like crazy- probably 30 mph gusts...so I stuck it out for another 2 hours then I left after my hands were numb from forgetting my gloves at home.

1 questions: My dad tells me that deer are like humans- if it is really cold and windy we cover up (bed down) and if it is raining and stuff they do the same. Is this true?
