I still do not dare to hunt deer.

i usually wait 30 minutes after the shot to begin blood trailing.

What would you say is the best location to hunt for whitetail deer. I am in Minnesota and wondering if there is a good spot for them

In my experience, as a young hunter, I find that it helps to stay in the stand for five to ten minutes. I think that climbing out of a treestand while all pumped up after the shot can lead to injury, and I've also unfortunately made the mistake of leaving the stand directly after the shot and spooking the deer before it had died, pushing it beyond a big creek and up a hill where I couldn't find it by the end of the day. I think that it's a good rule of thumb for new hunters (like myself) to sit still and take a few deep breaths after the shot before climbing down.

Set-up a trail camera on the land you plan to hunt on. If you see plenty of deer it's game on!

Be patient

Play the wind

Relax and have fun

Dont let someone else determine what your trophy should be.
