Preseason
Even if you might not be hunting just yet it might be a good idea to sit out for a night or atleast set out some trail cameras. It is always good to find out what deer are around the area before opening day. Always check your stands before the season starts and clear shooting lanes so when you are ready to go hunting your tree stand is all set. Before a hunt be sure to wash all hunting clothes in scent free soap. When you dry them use scent free dryer sheets also( availible in most hunting stores). Sometimes it might be a good idea to hang hunting clothes outside to dry before a hunt. You also must be scent free, a person should wash up in scent free soap before every hunt to help eliminate the chance of a deer smelling you. Another great product to have around would be scent free spray that you can spray on your clothes, shoes and hats before heading to the stand.

A year round activity...
Deer hunting can be more than you think. It, if you so choose can be a year round event. No you can't hunt year round but there is always something you can do to get ready. In the thick of winter a great activity having to do with deer is searching for deer antler sheds. This can be a great way to get some exercise and spent some time out in the woods. It commonly ends up being more of just a walk without anything to show but it still can be real fun. I am no expert in looking for shed antlers but there are plenty of people who are. If you are really serious about finding some antlers then I would recommend finding an article by an expert. So find a nice day outside and go for a walk. You may even find where the deer in your area seem to be bedding... a helpful clue for your next hunting trip! Have fun!
