Antler Rattling

It is not natural for deer to fight each other, using their antlers, for long periods of time. Therefore it makes sense not to overdo rattling.

Rattle for short periods of time, say 30-60 seconds, then rest and be alert for approaching deer - if you see deer coming your way, tease him by gently tapping the antlers. This will make him approach closer.

Stop That Deer in his tracks

If a deer runs past your stand or hide, but it is not aware of your presence, the best way to stop him is to give a short whistle. Usually the deer will stop to glance in the direction the sound came from.

But before you even whistle, make sure your gun is mounted, ready to fire and you are following the running deer using your scope. Whistle, then steady yourself for a shot. You'll only have a few seconds to shoot, so make it count!

Where to Shoot a Deer

By far the best place to shoot a whitetail deer is in the chest area. Why? Because this is where most of the major organs, veins and arteries are located. A bullet placed in this region results in a humanely killed deer - the aim of every deer hunter.

Pick a spot about halfway up the shoulder of the deer and a little behind the shoulder. Aim for this same area if the deer is facing away from you but at an angle.
