Deer Hunting From a Tree Stand

Most deer hunters are now hunting from tree stands. If you are new to deer hunting, or if you have been hunting for a while but have yet to use this method, you should consider using a tree stand. The benefits of using a tree stand are that you will stay out of the deer's range of view, you will keep your scent hidden from the deer, and you will increase the range of your view. You do need to take certain precautions, however, to make sure that you protect yourself.

The Types of Hunting Dogs

Hunting dogs are certainly the best possible ally of the hunter, as they sniff and scavenge for prey in the deepest and darkest brush of the forest. There are many different possibilities for a hunting dog type that you can take on your next trip. The type of dog you should take on your hunting trip should be directly related to the type of hunting you are planning on. If you are planning on hunting fur-bearing animals, for example, you would be more satisfied with a hound than you would be with a terrier. Regardless of what dog you choose to take with you on your next hunting trip, you can be sure that you will have made a new friend by the end of the journey.

Which Duck Calls Do You Know?

If you're serious about hunting ducks, you've got to know your calls. When used correctly, a duck call can be the key to a great day in the blind. Experts say there're eight duck calls serious hunters should know to make the most of their time on the hunt.

First, the basic quack - this is the foundation for all other duck calls, so it is important to get right.  A top tip is to be sure you end each quack with a crisp CK sound rather than just tailing off the QUA part. The hail or highball call is the honking Aink Aink noise. It should be used sparingly, and never when you're within 100 yards of ducks. Next, is the greeting call, a steady Kank Kank Kank Kank Kank that's excellent for getting ducks in the distance to come nearer.
