Smoking in the stand keeps deer away, my FIL has disproved that over and over!

That the rut is started by cold weather.
I have had people tell me “ yeah I don’t think we had a rut this year, just wasn’t cold enough “
A Top 5 choice for sure.

They may not be “smart” in the Einstein sense, but it’s hard to put any other adjective on a buck that can elude hunters his entire life and die of old age. I have known some like that. You may choose “elusive” or whatever, but I’ll continue to call those deer smart - damn sure smarter than all the guys trying to kill them. Maybe he was referring to a young spike or even an older buck during the rut.

We found a buck in a briar patch in WV that went in opening morning and stayed all week. We knew because it snowed that morning and the only tracks out were from when he was jumped.

Ozonics work is a myth.....if it did every drug runner in the world would buy every unit.
When the cows are eating so are the deer
High Fence shooting is the same as hunting "Ozonics work is a myth.....if it did every drug runner in the world would buy every unit." That's a good point!

Once i learned that i didn't "NEED" to kill something, and that if i did kill something all the fun stopped and work began, i was a much better hunter.

10 percent of the hunters kill 90 percent of the deer..... At least in east Texas. 
Life is too short, as is. Don't chance it.
Don't text and drive.

High Fence shooting is the same as hunting Neighbor says when the cows are lying down the fish are not biting. I guess cows are also a good predictor fo deer hunting too.

Be careful of where you field dress your deer because the gut pile will scare off the deer. If you did field dress at a feeder, the deer would be eating around and over the pile...if not even take a nibble or two of the pile. I'm not saying to do that, but it really isn't going to scare them off where you do...that is until the coyotes arrive.
Retired!

May not be a myth...but I am certain deer are Democrats...
They eat corn for FREE
The bed down on my place for FREE
They get educated for FREE - had a NICE 10 point last year see me move in my stand. He was 250 yds away down the main sendero. Sucker would stare at my blind EVERY time he came out and never get closer than 250 yds. Nice deer...not a shooter YET....but he be educated
...and finally...I think they are ALL illegal immigrants - havent heard a one of them speak the first word of English...

10 percent of the hunters kill 90 percent of the deer..... At least in east Texas. It's also true that 90% of the harvest during any given year occurs during the first two weeks of the season. You need only compare the number of shots you hear on Opening Day with those heard during the third weekend of the season and beyond to believe that one.
