Fall Planting Strategies for Early Season Deer Hunting

One factor that many hunters often overlook is that deer are browsers, and according to some estimates feed on a couple hundred different foods. They don’t feed on just one crop all day or all night. Even with the availability of apple and pecan orchards, fruits, forbs and other native foods that deer normally eat, green fields still can attract deer and provide food for them.

Deer Hunting on Reclaimed Strip Mining Land

In many areas of the country, the federal government has required the strip mining companies to reclaim strip mined land with grasses and pine trees. Most of us think of a strip mine as being nothing but dirt and rocks. But if these strip mines are reclaimed and planted with grasses and pine trees, they often make ideal habitat for whitetails.

Deer Hunting with a Pistol

I consider pistol hunting deer like bowhunting with a gun, because I want to take deer at close range with both. I like hunting with a pistol. The first time I took it to the woods and a doe came in, I got as charged up with adrenaline as I’d been the first time I had a deer come within bow range. The doe was at about 20 yards, and I shot her free-handed.
