“Tag: whitetail week”

David A. Lien of Colorado Springs shares the story of a Veterans Day whitetail adventure in this latest Member's Hunt.

Deer populations are local affairs, but there have been some surprising regional trends hunters should be aware of.

Attract the right kind of attention this season.

Being ready for the rut starts with knowing where to place your treestand—and why.

A deer's heart is just too tasty to leave in a gut pile for the coyotes. Don't believe us? Give this recipe a try.

Your typical “Mountain” buck is different than most of the deer you see on television or read about in magazines. The variables surrounding what they eat and where they sleep are countless. As a result, getting close to one can be tough. Getting close enough to consistently kill a mature one can seem nearly impossible. But it isn’t.

The latest edition of "Member's Hunt" comes from Jason Terrell of Burnett, Texas.

This is the deer hunter’s calculation. You ask yourself if there are low-impact entry and exit routes that will take you to and from a stand. Can you get a true wind in/near the buck’s likely bedding area? If you’re bowhunting, will you have to cut shooting lanes? Can you afford to risk making this buck even more nocturnal in October?

Here's the gear you'll need before heading into the deer woods this season.
