end of deer season

It was a tough season for deer hunting in New England. With a lot of acorns in the woods, they were everywhere. It was a tough winter last year which thinned the herd, then with all the feed this year the deer didnt have to go anywhere. They found some cover and some acorns with some water nearby and they didnt have to go far. There were a lot of unlucky hunters this year that haven't seen anything all year. But not us. We all got deer fo sho. Nick got his 78lb button buck during archery season. Joe C got his 110lb doe suring rifle season in Northwood NH. And I, Joe F, got a 104lb 7 point buck during rifle season. So we were all succesful. We put in alot of time, a lot of early mornings and late nights. A lot of trial and error.

The Deer Hunting strategies that paid off this year:

- Pay attention to the wind and your scent cover, we recommend Dead Down Wind as the best scent elimination products. Wash your clothes in it , shower in it, spray it on you after you get out of the truck.

- Pay attention to deer sign in the woods, watch their movement and research the moon cycles and deer behavior through the season.

- Plan your hunting strategies to the moon phase and the different phases of behavior that the deer go through throughout the year.

-Dont burn yourself out by climbing trees during archery season in 70 degree weather, scout more during pre and early season and really decide where the deer are.

- Walk quietly leace little impact on the woods you are hunting.
