<p>If you enjoy the freedom of the outdoors in your bass boat then it is vital to ensure it is protected by purchasing a bass boat cover. This will safeguard your boat from all kinds of weather then you can continue to enjoy boating in this mode for many years to come.</p>
<p>It happens all too often when a boat is purchased and then left to the elements  by not purchasing a necessary cover to protect it from wear and tear which could cause extreme damage and result in the need to replace it after only a few months of use.</p>
<p>Boats are fun for the entire family but you need ensure that it is protected so that the boats use is not compromised in any way. It does not cost a lot for a bass boat cover and you could potentially save hundreds of dollars.</p>
<p>Features of Deluxe Bass Boat Covers:<br />
- Low cost supreme quality boat covers<br />
- Waterproof material<br />
- Breathable fabric allows good air circulation under the cover, prevents moisture &amp; mildew build up<br />
- UV and Mildew resistant fabric protects your boats paint from damaging UV rays &amp; pollutants<br />
- All weather protection against rain, snow, dirt, dust and UV rays<br />
- Double stitched interlock seams with \&#8221;rot-proof\&#8221; thread<br />
- Elastic band around bottom of cover offers a snug fit<br />
- Tie down straps included with quick release buckles</p>
<p>The Cost of Buying a Bass Boat Cover</p>
<p>It is common for most bass boats to be a similar size but there can sometimes be slight variations in size and this can affect the overall price. A cover will ensure that your boat remains in good condition and it could last for years rather than a few months if it is subject to frequent weather lashings.</p>
<p>For a bass boat cover, you can expect to spend from around $140 to $170 but some companies are cheaper than others and can offer similar products for $110 to $135. When considering a purchase always ask what the price is as it is based on the width and length of the boat.</p>
<p>Purpose of a Bass Boat Cover</p>
<p>Ensuring that you have a high quality boat cover can help protect your pride and joy by giving it years worth of life and that means more use. Boats that are left without a cover tend to rot and are therefore can typically be deemed unsafe to use.</p>
<p>A bass boat cover offers a large number of benefits and is of high quality to stop any potential problems arising which includes the following:</p>
<p>- Covers are mildew resistant<br />
- They have a UV resistant finish to prevent fading of paintwork<br />
- They are completely water resistant</p>
<p>Overall, it is worth paying around $100 for a high quality product but you can almost guarantee if your boat is left with no protection, then repairs will certainly cost more than the price of a bass boat cover in the first place.</p>

<p style="margin: 4px;"><img class="alignleft" src="http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQDse0C69GsfCG7EXNwGhmQGe_IbIqoKZc3hBY8fBVCBIXn4z64" alt="" />If someone were to ask me of my favorite experience while outdoors with my father, I would immediately respond \&#8221;tent camping!\&#8221; When my brother and I were younger, our parents were determined to help us experience the most out of our summer vacations and still spend time with them. Thus, instead of signing us up to join a summer camp, since they were both working individuals and time was back then a luxury, my parents decided to split their summer vacations in such way so as to increase our ability to vacate with them; even if that meant that we would have to spend more time first with the one and later with the other.</p>
<p>My mother was the one that introduced us to all those amazing resorts and my father joined us during the last of the three weeks we had the opportunity to spend with her. Upon the completion of that last week that we were all together, my father drove us-literally drove us-to a number of places all over my home country, for an extra fifteen days. By the time I was fourteen, I had been given the opportunity to live outdoors, see a million different places and experience the unexpected. I remember now that when early in fall I returned to school, I was one of the few students delighted to write the first essay of the semester, titled \&#8221;How did you spend your summer vacations?\&#8221; I was extremely eloquent in describing my tent camping adventures and that made my teacher\&#8217;s eyebrows rise high pleasantly surprised.</p>
<p>Ask around and you will see. One third of U.S. adults say that they have gone on a camping vacation in the last five years, making it the number one outdoor activity in the U.S. Camping in and of itself is a great hobby for families to undertake together. But tent camping in particular, offers to parents the opportunity of teaching their children that fun and adventure are not things one should pay a high price for. Especially nowadays, when parents are seeking for an instructive, yet affordable, way of instilling in their kids a taste for the simpler things in life, tent camping can be a great outdoor activity for families to explore. Since many kids lack any sense of responsibility, discipline, and organization, embarking for a tent camping adventure can offer to parents the opportunity to instruct their children that it is possible to have fun, be safe, and keep organized, all at the same time.</p>
<p>Some of the advantages of this simple form of camping for parents and kids are its affordability, the fact that it offers the right circumstances for one to teach that you can survive with only the basics and that one should stay organized and always be prepared. In fact, tent camping gives you a sense of success and accomplishment, while it lets you experience nature from a totally different perspective. But before deciding to let yourself, your friends and/or your kids experience this amazing outdoor activity, you should remember to check some basic stuff. First, how many people can fit in your tent. It would be really frustrating having to deal with the fact that one has to sleep in the car because you miscalculated your tent\&#8217;s dimensions.</p>
<p>Second, you should check whether or not tent camping is allowed where you are going. If you are going to visit a specific area, call the local authorities and find out if tent camping is a welcomed activity. Some places, like forest areas and such, do not allow campers to stay overnight, in fear of fires or other camping accidents. Third, you should make a list of the things you will need apart from your precious tent. Flashlights, sleeping beds, water coolers, food containers, cooking and eating utensils, handbags, and of course the right type of clothes and shoes, are some of the things you should be planning to take. Walking in high heals or wearing uncomfortable clothes can result in frustration and whining. This is the time you and your family should relax and bond with each other, not the time to fight. Thus, make sure you are familiar with the basics and don\&#8217;t let simple things, like the weather for example, get in your way. Check your list, do your shopping and then camp away!</p>

<p style="margin: 4px;"><img id="rg_hi" class="alignleft" src="http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQtuetTYQQ57fXlTXKTQtTbS_s4Pj2VkyK9o9V-0GE8mU249teN" alt="" width="248" height="213" />Travelling the Blue Ridge Mountains in the southern United States will continually surprise you as you cruise past first a folk arts fair, then a museum to Appalachian culture, then a breath-taking shimmering lake. Stretching all the way from Pennsylvania to Georgia, the mountains are a world of possibilities, and Blue Ridge RV camping is one of the best ways to see them.</p>
<p>You can travel about in the comfort of your own place, at your one pace, and stay near to the things you want to see. And some of the attractions of the Blue Ridge area are uniquely suited to RVing.</p>
<p>One of the fastest growing business and attractions within the Blue Ridge region is wine-making. While California may still be the viticultural behemoth of the United States, the east coast wine industries is its plucky younger brother who boasts more than a few surprises.</p>
<p>Blue Ridge RV camping can be an excellent way to tour the wineries of the region, as you can set up camp and then head out to see what the local area offers. After you\&#8217;ve sipped all that one area has to offer, picking up and heading to the next spot is as easy as turning turning your key in the ignition.</p>
<p>Blue Ridge RV camping isn\&#8217;t restricted to wine touring, however. Many people who head to the mountains have something else in mind completely: a bit of blue-grass music!</p>
<p>Mountain music sites abound throughout the Appalachian range, and those taking a Blue Ridge RV camping trip will not be disappointed by the range available to them. A bit of research before your trip will pay off, however, as many of the best acts and venues are small time and not easily booked too far in advance.</p>
<p>Some of the best places to see blue grass musicians are in fact local coffee houses such as the Purple Fiddle in Thomas, West Virginia. Give places near your itinerary a ring and see what acts are scheduled during your stay.</p>
<p>Blue Ridge RV Camping is also one of the best ways to have an outdoor adventure. You can travel with your RV through some of the most beautiful landscapes in North America on your way to an exciting white water rafting or a relaxing fishing trip.</p>
<p>White water rafting attracts many people to the Blue Ridge Mountains each year, and for thrill seekers it is a hard thing to beat. For the more subdued, there are numerous creeks, rivers, ponds and lakes that are home to hundreds of thousands if not millions of fish all waiting for a chance at your bait during your next Blue Ridge RV Camping trip.</p>
<p>Be sure to make reservations for rafting trips, as growing popularity in recent years makes reservations essential.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;"><img class="alignleft" src="http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcStHclV7iZz7FGhLA8bO1LubWhmqbAsCaqaZuNoJ-zzyWH1ufcB" alt="" />When it is time to tracking or trailing the animal, sometimes it is not as easy as we read from the detective story. Find out some tips to recognize the tracks when you go for hunting.</p>
<p>You may not always be lucky enough to find traces or tracks immediately. Often you will have to be content just to recognize a set of prints, as sportsmen call the imprint of all four feet of an animal. A set of prints calls for careful interpretation.</p>
<p>Only occasionally do you have such a clear footprint in front of you that from the single impression you can tell with certainty what animal made it. When you are interpreting tracks, first take in the whole picture, looking at them in their entirety, before concentrating on the details. The tracks or traces animals make clearly show how they walk. Some small game animals, such as foxes and wildcats, are able, because of their size, to place one paw directly in front of the next, as if they were walking along a tightrope. Others, the big game animals, set their feet next to each other. These hoofed animals walk as if straddling a straight line, leaving what are called cross traces.</p>
<p>You will find such prints when the animal was moving along at an easy, comfortable pace. If the animal was running away or jumping, you&#8217;ll find sets of prints at intervals. In the case of stags, the prints may be 25 feet apart. The prints of hoofed big game animals resemble the prints a rabbit makes. From the type of traces or tracks you find, you can determine whether you are dealing with a big or small game animal, and whether the animal was springing or just walking along easily. The length of the jumps or the side-to-side distance between hoof prints will tell you something about the size of the animal. The bigger, taller and older an animal is, the greater the distance from side to side (the cross trace). In general female animals have a smaller cross trace.</p>
<p>Animals Footprints<br />
You are not likely to come across the footprints of whole hoofed animals wild horses for example. The cloven hoofed animals leave prints of their two toed hoofs.</p>
<p>Small game animals, such as badgers, rabbits and squirrels, have paws. They walk on the soles of their feet as well as on their toes, and often leave clear imprints of the entire sole and toes. When you find paw prints, look first to see if the animal has &#8220;toenails,&#8221; that is, whether there are prints of its nails. Badgers and porcupines press their claws into the ground as they walk, but cats and lynxes do not.</p>
<p>Of the big game animals, the deer leaves the smallest tracks. If it is walking undisturbed and easily, the two toes of the hoofs leave a closed imprint. If it is fleeing and jumping (up to 15 feet), it leaves a &#8220;rabbit jump&#8221; set of prints. The toes are pressed apart by the force of the jump and imprinted more deeply in the ground than usual. In fact, you will usually find an impression of the dew-claws, the &#8220;extra&#8221; toes or &#8220;false hoofs&#8221; higher up on the feet.</p>
<p>Suppose you find &#8220;rabbit-jump&#8221; prints. From the size of the set of prints, you can eliminate certain animals, but you might narrow your &#8220;suspects&#8221; to a fox, a deer, or even a rabbit. If the two front footprints are larger, then it was a rabbit. But if all four prints are equally large, you have to search further. Perhaps you can find a print that is clearly impressed. If you see two toes of a hoof, it was a deer. If you see a paw print, you have to conclude that it was a fox or a rabbit.</p>
<p>The problem of finding the tracks or trail will be solved if you can find a stretch with either straight line or straddling prints. If that is not possible, examine the individual prints. From this article we learnt that the paws of rabbits and foxes are so different, that it should be impossible to confuse them.</p>

Plan a &#8220;hunting&#8221; holiday with family and friends. Its one of the best ways to de-stress as you will be in the lap of nature without forgoing basic comforts. Hunting resorts that have cropped up across the United States will ensure this.</p>
<p>Hunting has always been a man thing, in the sense that only men participate in this sport. In the past, women and children were seldom taken on hunting trips because they were likely to face boredom or risk while men went out hunting. Today, the situation has changed drastically, with entire families going on hunting trips.</p>
<p>Pheasant, duck, goose, waterfowl, turkey, mule deer, partridge, prairie chicken, and coyote hunting is gaining increasing popularity among middle and upper middle class individuals. You will find hunting resorts advertising their packages online and through the print media. Most of these resorts offer a safe and clean environment at reasonable rates for a family outing. Apart from organizing hunting trips with a guide, these resorts offer stay in cottages and cabins for a rustic feel, home cooked food, sightseeing tours, freshwater fishing, boating, hiking, shooting, ice fishing, kayaking, and much more. For those who wish to stay like Kings while on a hunting trip, there are lavishly decorated rooms that offer no less than 5-star comfort. Add to this swimming pools, laundry service, snooker room, video game facilities, Internet connectivity, and gourmet dining and rest assured that your family will let you hunt in peace!</p>
<p>Hunting guides promise to take care of everything from land and water transportation to bird processing so you can just concentrate on your game. When you are tired of hunting you can laze in a hammock and soak in the natural surroundings. If you are raring for more adventure, go rock-climbing.</p>
<p>Hunting resorts can be rented for business conferences as well, because many are equipped with a business center. Your associates are sure to thank you for breaking the monotony in business dealings. Before you embark on a hunting trip consult the guide at the resort where you plan to stay about what equipment and clothes to carry. Find out whether the resort is accessible all through the year or is open only to seasonal hunting. Also, ensure that the resort follows all laws related to hunting. You don&#8217;t want to be caught on the wrong side of law and labeled a poacher!</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">
<p><img class="alignleft" src="http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRfa6jdspDIQr5i60Sr_E9GmNQD0nD897I2qw3O-9-TP6czQN1I" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Small game hunting involves pursuing small animals like rabbits, squirrels, and ducks. Since these animals are small, high power weapons are not needed to hunt them. You are better off investing in a weapon that has greater accuracy to be able to target the small game better.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: left;">Also, the price of ammunition should be considered, too, since a hunter can take a great number shots in one day.</p>
<p>Under these conditions, a rim-fire rifle would be perfect weapon to use in the small game hunting category. When selecting a rifle, you must consider the following &#8211; its fit, sights, weight, its action and caliber. A gun that fits properly will help assure you of getting more accurate shots.</p>
<p>When using a rifle with a stock that is too short, the scope might hit your eyebrow, giving you \&#8221;scope bite,\&#8221; while one that is too long could get caught in your armpit if you are wearing a heavy jacket.</p>
<p>A full size stock is better for adult hunters because of its perfect fit. Good balance and stock design is vital for a small game rifle so that it can be handled quickly and readily. When you are small game hunting, most shots are done from a short distance where the animal can possibly detect the hunter, and small animals do not sit still for very long once they sense danger.</p>
<p>It is better to get a light rifle rather than an ultra light one, because ultra light rifles are difficult to keep the balance and make accurate shots. An ideal weight should be about 6 pounds. The rifle\&#8217;s action can be either repeater or single shot as long as it gives you a more accurate shot. Barrel length also needs to be considered &#8211; mostly for balance more than for ballistics. A medium weight barrel of about 20-22 inches in length is ideal.</p>
<p>A perfect small game rifle should have a small action to match its cartridge and a good, solid feel. A rifle with a smooth action is always best with a clean and light trigger pull, which is needed for accuracy. Given the standards of production today, a trigger revamp might be needed for every new rifle.</p>
<p>It is much more important for a small game rifle to be accurate, rather than fancy. There are various different types to choose from: auto-loading, lever, pump, and bolt action repeaters. Among the widely known calibers are the .22 WMR, .17 HMR and .22 LR, from manufacturers such as Anschutz, Ruger, Browning, Kimber, CZ, Winchester, Henry, and Savage, among others.</p>
<p>A quality rim fire rifle deserves to have a quality scope. A fixed power scope of around 4 times or a variable one in the 2 to 7 times range can serve a small game rifle well. Good rim fire scopes are not inexpensive, but are not overly costly either.</p>
<p>A first-rate small game rifle should be:</p>
<p>- as accurate as possible, but not necessarily too powerful. It can be as powerful as .22LR, but no more powerful than .30 Carbine<br />
- light: for carrying ease and fast handling, but not ultra light<br />
- well balanced and able to swing properly<br />
- with a smooth action and a stock that perfectly fits the hunter<br />
- with light and terse trigger pull<br />
- with a scope of good quality and medium power</p>
<p>A superior rifle may be a little too high priced for a amateur hunter but its quality will prove to be rewarding in the long haul.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>by: <strong><a href="http://65.60.58.130/ezinearticles/profile/scarob-1183.html">scarob</a></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left; margin: 4px;"><img class="alignleft" src="http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRIBN8eEEoG3lsd0O2pDLyjqi5gI-FEBDd1bDwImjLwE_evKCUL" alt="" />Hunting dogs are an exclusive breed of canines that have been trained to work with humans when they are hunting. They are immeasurably beneficial to humans because they can perform numerous tasks that are useful to people.</p>
<p>They are especially beneficial to hunters during hunting expeditions; since they can aid them locating their prey. Hunting dogs come in varied classifications such as: hounds, gun dogs, terriers and curs.</p>
<p>Hounds- These dogs are grouped into sight hounds and scent hounds.</p>
<p>&#8211;Sight hounds are especially adept in tracking down their prey by keeping them in their view. They are experts when it comes to detecting motion because they have superior vision.</p>
<p>Characteristically, they have long legs, ears that have little flaps, and a very strong cardiovascular system. They are incredibly agile, which is valuable since they have to pursue fast animals on the run.</p>
<p>&#8211;Scent hounds hunt using their keen sense of smell to seek their prey. They have large nasal cavities which allows them to follow the scent of the killed or wounded prey, or fallen game. These hunting dogs are trained to do these tasks starting when they are only pups.</p>
<p>Some hunters train their dogs to follow smells by familiarizing them with the scent of the blood of the animal. They leave a blood trail to a piece of meat on the field and leave it sit out for a time: then they command their hunting dogs to track down the scent of the blood. When the dog finds the end of the trail, they are rewarded with signs of affection and praised by their owner.</p>
<p>The intent of this teaching is to familiarize the dog with trailing the blood and the scent of a fallen prey, so they will be ready when the time comes to go on a real hunting expedition.</p>
<p>In some states, such as New York, Wisconsin, Indiana, Texas, Vermont and Michigan, just to name a few, using dogs to retrieve deer, and other large game has been legalized. In other states this custom has not been adapted, so hunters who are thinking about taking their hunting dogs with them on their expedition for this reason, need to check the regulations and rules of the state, pertaining to this matter.</p>
<p>&#8211;Gun Dogs are hunting dogs that help their owner retrieve their downed game, including birds. They are also often called bird dogs.</p>
<p>&#8211;Terrier is a type of dog that was originally bred for the purpose of hunting and slaying vermin.</p>
<p>&#8211;Curs is the term usually used for dogs that are not purebred and are quite often deemed unworthy. But cur also applies to the types of hunting dogs that have been developed in the United States for the purposes of assisting in hunting. They are recognized for their superior hunting skills and abilities.</p>
<p>Caring for Hunting Dogs</p>
<p>Hunting dogs need to be kept in excellent shape, so it is imperative for their owners to carefully attend to their health. They should be provided a healthy diet. There is always the risk of the dog becoming overweight if its food intake is not carefully supervised.</p>
<p>Some dogs, such as greyhounds, require special attention when it comes to their diet. They are better off eating three small meals a day, because they have the tendency to become bloated if they try to eat heavy meals. Greyhounds are exceedingly susceptible to pesticides, chemicals, and medication; even flea collars could be harmful to a greyhound.</p>
<p>Hunting dogs continually need to exercise to sustain their agility and keep them in top condition. Their nails need to be trimmed at least every 2-3 weeks and they should be given regular baths to keep them clean.</p>
<p>Socialization</p>
<p>Hunting dogs should be trained to socialize with people, particularly if the dogs are also the family\&#8217;s\&#8217; pets. Owners should get them used to interacting with various types of people. Many hunting dogs are just sociable by nature, such as a greyhound.</p>
<p>Don\&#8217;t forget that hunting dogs are predatory by nature. They could pose some danger to small animals, pets, and even small children if they have not been trained to keep from acting upon these instincts.</p>
<p>Hunting dogs are a wonderful companion for any hunter since they can perform tasks that humans find rather difficult. This is why hunting dogs are priced according to their capabilities. They are truly remarkable creatures that will be useful to any hunter.</p>

Well, if the answer is yes, then you probably are a regular. Growing up I knew a whole slew of hunters. That&#8217;s what it&#8217;s like in the small towns of Iowa.<br />
While I&#8217;m certainly not one of those vegetarian extremists who will rant and rave till the sun goes down about shooting Bambi, I do however believe in laws. This is the result of having a Game Warden for a father. He always taught me about hunting and nature and how to stick within the laws.</p>
<p>You certainly should respect all creatures, whether you can outwit them or not. It&#8217;s not about killing, but about eating. Think about it. Many of us purchase a deer license for the new season and get our shotgun or bow ready for a good hunt, which in turn gives us a lot of meat.<br />
This is a cheaper way to acquire that year supply of venison. Anyway, regardless of your reason for hunting, one thing is for sure. You are going to need some decent hunting supplies.</p>
<p>What do you hunt for? Rabbit, squirrel, deer, or maybe turkey? Each and every one of these game will require hunting supplies to some extent. The first thing you need to be sure of is the law. Make certain you purchase the correct hunting license for the correct game. This is imperative so that you can avoid being fined.</p>
<p>Once you have this process down, you&#8217;ll need to browse for hunting supplies. Are you hunting that deer with a shotgun or bow? Well, this is probably something you&#8217;ve already contemplated. So be sure to practice your shot before the big hunt. A target is much different than a live animal. Setting your sights on that deer or turkey can cause you to tremble a tad.</p>
<p>Other hunting supplies you will need are proper clothing, possibly a tree stand, animal call, whether deer or turkey, and a scent to blend in and attract that game. Once you&#8217;ve purchased these hunting supplies, you&#8217;re pretty much good to go for next time. Hunting is not too pricey if you do it right.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re in search of some quality, yet inexpensive hunting supplies, your best bet these days is the Internet. Try a variety of outdoor websites like Cabela&#8217;s. Regardless of your hunting and fishing needs, you will find what you&#8217;re looking for in cyberspace. Happy hunting folks.</p>

<p>No one hunter is perfect at everything. But the really successful ones have many things in common. First of all, even the greenest beginners have a natural born instinct to hunt. It&#8217;s in their blood. But in the beginning they lack the knowledge of this wonderful outdoor sport.</p>
<p>Hands-on experience is the only way to become a successful hunter, but there are some vital things every hunter must learn before he takes one single step into the woods.</p>
<p>A person needs persistence as well as patience when he is on a hunt to become successful in any season. The capacity to sit still and wait in his position until the right opportunity to fire at his prey is necessary. Some animals, such as deer, will become very much aware of danger and wait until they think the time is right before trying to escape.</p>
<p>A successful hunter must have the decisiveness to act when the perfect situation arises. There are situations in the course of his hunting when he needs to be decisive before catching the attention of his prey. A hunter may have the game in his sight but feels that his shot will not have the correct angle to give him a direct hit on the animal. He may also think twice because the animal could be too large for his ammunition. Being undecided will cause the hunter not to pull the trigger and the opportunity will be missed.</p>
<p>A hunter needs to be patient and calm when hunting. Hunting may be compared to a combat fight and he may spend hours waiting for his prey to come. He will be unsure whether or not he will have the opportunity for a clear shot. A hunter must always be alert as well as hopeful and at the same time be thankful for whatever prey may come his way.</p>
<p>He should be in very good physical condition allowing him to be prepared for any circumstances that he may encounter during the hunt. He must set boundaries and limitations for what he can do.</p>
<p>He should be determined and focused in aiming for his prey. Determination in hunting is the desire to sit still and wait for long hours despite missed opportunities, fatigue, and the frustrations that occur.</p>
<p>Most importantly, a successful hunter should have very good shooting skills. The ability to be steady and accurate when aiming at the target will ensure a successful hit on any target.</p>
<p>Every gunslinger from every old western movie started out by shooting at tin cans on a fence post. That&#8217;s a great place to start. When you become good at shooting stationary objects, only then will you be ready for live animal hunting.</p>
<p>There are basic steps to make game hunting a fun and enjoyable activity. But you need to know what you are doing, why you are doing it, and just how to go about it.</p>

<p style="margin: 4px;">The best tips for whitetail deer hunting often come from other experienced hunters. It is also really cool when you discover techniques that work best for you from your own personal experience. Every hunter seems to have their own deer hunting tips and secrets. I have included some basic deer hunting tips.</p>
<p>1) Deer are the most active at dawn and dusk. It seems that most of my fellow hunters have gotten their deer at dawn or dusk over the years. This does not mean that dear are not active during the day. But, your chances are greater at dawn and dusk. So, make sure you get up early enough, and do not leave until quitting time. It is often easy to get frustrated if you have not seen anything all day long. But, make sure that you stay until the last minute. I have gotten a few deer five minutes before quitting time.</p>
<p>2.) It is a good idea to find the deer&#8217;s source of food. In my state, corn is the main food source. So, it is a good idea to watch the edge of the cornfields.</p>
<p>3) It is nice to have a tree stand. This will make it easy to see in all directions. Be careful getting in and out of your tree-stand. Some hunters build permanent stands if they own the property. But, you can also buy a nice portable stand. Make sure you practice getting in and out of your tree stand before the season starts. Always wear a harness for safety.</p>
<p>4) Make sure your rifle is sited in and ready to go. Also, make sure you have plenty of ammunition, warm gloves, boots, hat, compass, GPS. (optional but not a bad idea, if you are in an unfamiliar area), cell phone (make sure your turn it on vibrate), food, thermos, rope, knife, hand warmer, Ziploc bag, etc.</p>
<p>5) Make a checklist before leaving on your hunting trip to make sure you do not forget anything.</p>
<p>6) Always make sure you ask the property owner for permission before hunting. This is a common courtesy.</p>
<p>7) While waiting in your tree stand, make sure that you are extremely quiet and do not move. Deer have an extremely good senses.</p>
<p> <img src='http://fishingtriptips.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_cool.gif' alt='8)' class='wp-smiley' /> Make sure that you understand the laws and regulations of your state. If you have not hunted in a while, it is a good idea to take a refresher course.</p>
<p>In conclusion, the best deer hunting tips often come from other experienced hunters and from your own personal experience. It is a good idea to make a checklist before leaving on your hunting trip to make sure you do not forget anything. Also, make sure that you get up early enough to be at your spot before sunrise and do not leave one minute before quitting time. Many times I was ready to throw in the towel after not seeing anything for hours. However, I always try to stick it out until last minute. This is when deer become most active.</p>
