Thread: How can I shoot more deer, and what's your hit rate?

To shoot more deer you need to find where they are and hunt those spots more at key times, ie after a spell of shitty weather, during roar, during spring, and time your hunts to be in the hot zone first thing in morning and last thing at evening.

As far as my hunting goes, shot my first at age 11, shot 4 that year. Then every year after I've shot at least 20, and up to 70 deer a year during the 3-4 years I've been doing pest control/culling on particular blocks.

I don't shoot a deer on every hunt, almost always by choice. I cant remember the last time I went hunting and didn't see a deer. 9/10 times we'll see one, whether it's briefly, a long way off or at the end of my barrel. That's on a mixture of private and public land too.

Last week I saw over 60 wild deer just while driving around the district and glassing certain spots. 37 in one day!

Learn how to pick your spots, that's how you'll see more.

oh yeah, Deer in hard hit areas do know what days of the week it is, which is why I NEVER hunt on weekends, plus I go in the bush to get away from people not be surrounded by gun toting strangers.
