Hunt Buck With Bow | Deer Hunting Tips For Serious Bowhunters | White Tail Deer

As a deer hunter, you probably already know how costly getting a deer mounted can be. Over the years I have harvested and had so many deer mounted that my wife had to put a stop to it. She warned that if I get one more deer mounted, I will be the one mounted next.

Deer Antlers Mounted

I don’t want to find out if she is serious. So I found one cost effective way to mount your trophies without going through the cost and hassle of a full deer mount.

In explaining all of this to my taxidermist, he suggested simply taking my deer antlers and mounting them on a board.

This is a great way to enjoy your hunting  memories at the fraction of the cost to have the entire deer head mounted. See attached picture.

This time of year I get really itchy to start buck hunting again.

But here in Pennsylvania, the weather has been so hot that is hard to believe in about a month and a half I will be back out in the autumn woods for archery season.

If you are also prepping for buck hunting season, there are some things you have to do.

1. Start checking out your archery equipment. If there anything you need to replace, now is the time.
2. Check your first aid kit. Make sure your supplies are fresh.
3. Make sure you scout your hunting spot. Get permission from the owners.
4. Test your bow. You should be shooting your target every night.
5. Get your license. And while you’re out, shop for some new hunting gear!

As a final tip, do not be like those amateur hunters who wait until the last minute. Do not wait till your sporting goods stores are too crowded to get you hands on anything.

I will work to keep updating you on the buck hunting season.

Happy Hunting,

The anatomy of a deer is crucial for hunters to learn. Many longtime hunters I know still don’t know exactly where (or when) to place their shots. What really helped me to be a successful hunter was to sit down and really study the deers anatomy, to learn exactly where to place the arrow (or bullet) for that one shot kill.

I think this is as important or more so, then the equipment you are using. We must make ourselves responsible for that one shot. When I hunt, my foremost thought is that I only have one shot, this keeps me focused on my shot placement and also the right time to deliver the shot..this is crucial. Try to find yourself an overlay of a whitetailed deer anatomy and study it, know exactly where to place your shot and when to shoot, be it a heart, lung or a shot in the middle of the shoulder if using a gun.

Whether you are hunting with a bow or gun, you will be a more successful hunter if you take the time to learn the deers anatomy.

Happy Hunting,
