In the early
days of the American Frontier the skin of a male deer was worth a dollar--which is how we got the term
"buck" for a $1 bill.

Did You Know?
Here are some
interesting facts about deer:
|
Antlers start to grow on bucks in mid-April.
The antlers are warm to the touch and covered in a soft velvet while
growing. By September, the velvet is shed or rubbed off when
the bucks rub their antlers against trees making them pointed, sharp
and cold to the touch. The antlers drop off by themselves in
March, usually one at a time. Small animals and squirrels will
eat the antlers (after they have been shed). |
|
Does normally give birth to twins. |
|
Fawns are usually born in May and June. They
start to lose their spots in September and are then considered to be
adult deer, ready to breed fawn of their own. |
|
Deer shed their fur twice a year. In late
August they shed their reddish-brown coat and grow a heavy grey
winter coat. In March and April they shed their grey winter
coat and grow a reddish-brown summer coat. |
|
Tame deer will lick your hand, not only to get to
know you, but to show affection. |

A group of friends went deer hunting and paired off in twos for
the day. That night, one of the hunters returned alone, staggering under the weight of an eight-point
buck.
"Where's Henry?"
"Henry had a stroke of some kind. He's a couple of miles back up the trail."
"You left Henry laying out there and carried the deer back!?!"
"A tough call," nodded the hunter, "but I figured no one is going to
steal
Henry."
~~~~~ What's the difference between
beer nuts and deer nuts?
Beer Nuts are around a $1.79 and deer nuts are just under a buck!

When tracking deer on snow, always be aware that deer often tend to circle back to see what is following them.
-
Big bucks tend to make their scrapes on high ground.
-
No matter how good your spot is, don't hunt there on consecutive days. You stand an excellent chance of contaminating the area with your scent.
-
The route a deer takes can often tell you what the sex is. Large bucks tend to go over and around obstructions.
Does are likely to crawl under a fallen tree or weave through a thicket.
-
You can forget about hunting rubs or scrapes
during the rut because bucks move in totally unpredictable patterns during
that time.
-
Look for beaver ponds running east and west. Since deer tend to travel north and south they will likely be forced around one end or the other, increasing your odds of seeing deer there.
-
Most deer are shot on the downwind side of a food source.
-
If you would like to excite a buck in your hunting area, consider taking soil from a scrape in another area and placing it in a scrape near your stand. Be careful not to leave any human scent.
-
One study concludes that over 95% of the scrapes bucks made in an area would be used again the next year.
-
Since most heat escapes through the head, a little baking soda in the hat would help eliminate any odors escaping with the heat and moisture.
