Locating Wounded/Downed Game

Lung shots typically result in the deer sprinting between 100-200 yards before expiring - some even travel much further.

So how would you find a wounded/downed deer that was shot just on dusk and heading straight for thick cover? There is a simple solution. Use a fluorescent light.

These flashlights are cheap and can save you hours of tracking time - so always carry one. Blood and other similar fluids glow yellow when you shine fluorescent light upon them.

Check Wind Direction

If there is one thing that will ruin your deer hunt, no matter how perfect everything else is, its the breeze or wind that carrys your scent to them. Get this wrong and your hunt is over.

Checking wind direction before you set off hunting is essential. I always carry a small squeeze bottle filled with unscented talcum powder. Its so simple to use - just hold the bottle up and give it a little squeeze and watch which direction the powder is going. Always keep the wind blowing in your face!

Spot The Deer

When hunting whitetail deer or any other deer for that matter, a good pair of binoculars (the best you can afford) are absolutely essential.

Thoroughly scan the area you intend to hunt with binoculars BEFORE you move to another area. You'd be surprised what you can see when you take the time to look.

Using your eyesight alone to spot deer or deer movement puts you at a huge disadvantage. Its virtually impossible to see the small details 200 yards ahead that could be an ear, antler or face of a whitetail deer. Binoculars are an essential tool for serious hunters - use them.
