Deer

Great deer hunters know, understand, and respect deer like no one else.  One of the fascinating aspects of deer knowledge is understanding deer sounds and the ability to predict behavior from these vocalizations.

The elusive whitetail deer is North America's most hunted big game animal. From east to West, North to South, whitetail deer are everywhere and hunted in different ways.

Yes, fanged deer are completely real. The term "vampire deer" is a common nickname used to describe several real-life species of small, primitive deer. Instead of the large antlers typically associated with deer, the males of these species grow elongated, downward-pointing upper canine teeth that look exactly like vampire fangs.

The Coues deer (commonly pronounced "cooz") is an elusive whitetail subspecies (Odocoileus virginianus couesi) scattered across the Southwest U.S. and Mexico. 

Each year, hundreds, if not thousands, of hunters traverse across state lines to hunt the quarry that another state might have to offer. For some, this might mean leaving Ohio to cash in your Colorado moose points. For others, it might mean leaving the elk woods of Wyoming to head to Iowa for whitetail. 

From scouting to deer habitat activities to shooting your bow, there are some very important deer hunting and deer habitat activities that you need to accomplish in the spring.

Have you considered how to spend the whitetail off-season? For deer hunters, coyote hunting challenges their hunting ability, promotes hunting practice in the off-season, and protects vulnerable wildlife.

Simply put, every deer hunter wants to harvest a big buck. Whether the rut has just begun or is over, we all want to harvest that big buck on our trail cam.

Harvesting whitetail is nothing short of challenging. Whitetail not only have some of the best sight but also some of the best hearing out of any species we hunt.

It's common for us hunters to start paying more attention to the weather as deer season starts. Naturally, we are aware of every single change in the atmosphere.

You are prepared, primed, and ready to hunt cold fronts all season long. You plan your schedule and time your days off around them, and then it happens – you get a bunch of hot weather days smack dab in the middle of your schedule. 

The topic of Chronic Wasting Disease, or CWD, is mysterious and scary for many hunters. CWD is spreading in deer herds across North America.
