Is there a reason why deer are not moving in northern Indiana ?

They were chasing here in Ohio, last week. I haven't been out, since it warmed up. It may be related to this funky heat wave. I know it is supposed to get cold again after this next front comes through. It is supposed to cool down by Friday here, so it should drop where you are Thursday. Best of luck to you.

They could be feeding at that spot at night ,or they could smell you in your stand or they may not be used to the stand and it spooks them if its new to the area,Best time of day i feel is just starting to get light or just starting to get dark deer are usually on the move to or from bedding and feeding sites

Archery hunting for deer in 2005/2006 was 9/15/05 - 1/31/06.  I could not find anything on the web for this year's season.  However, you can call the Maryland Department of Natural Resources to find out. Here is the number: 1-800-918-2870

I have found 1 to 2 weeks before rut begins, and then only "tickle" the antlers. I would only rattle loudly during the actual rut. Contact a state biologist to determine the rut in your area!

I assume that you are talking about a gun deer license. If you are talking about that then you have no worry because for gun deer season you can walk up and get like 4 tags, when you get your license. And you get a ridicules # of tags every time you register a deer. No earn a buck. If its brown its down. Cwd will give you the chance to get out there and help ther DNR try to get a handle on it. thanks for hunting and grab a kid and teach him/her to enjoy nature and harvest it as it should be. Bowhunting is the only deer license that you need to get ahead of time all others you just go and get, them hunt like a predator.

If you shot and missed him, chances are he is 10 miles away from the place where you shot at him.Deer are very intelligent and territorial creatures.

I have personally missed deer and the very next day taken one from the same stand. You might mess up your chances for the day but you won't have any long term effects caused by a miss!! Good Hunting!

Something very similar happened to me two weeks ago.I found a dead bird on my front stoop.It didn't appear to be injured and it looked like it was asleep.But ,it wasn't.I'm not a superstitious person,so I don't know anything about that.I do know that a few years ago all of the crows in our area died as a resulty of west nile virus.I suspect the dead bird I found, might have been sick from something like that.

It could be that there used to be a box elder tree near by that was cut down. The bugs then had no tree to live in and start attaching themselves to your house

I am from Anderson, Indiana and I have not heard about this development. It seems quite unlikely that CDI would sell their shares of Hoosier Park at this time. There will be slots legislature considered soon that could give Hoosier Park a large share of the machines and revenue share from them.\n\nLet me say that we in Anderson are looking forward to hosting the Indiana Derby for many years to come. In addition more and more Indiana bred runners are making their mark nationally. The horse racing industry appears to be very stable in Indiana. Until slots are decided, I cannot predict they will pull out of this market before then.\n\n The company DID sell HP in fact. They sold their controlling interest of Hollywood Park in Inglewood, California last year. The new owners are now running on a very expensive, new  "Polytrack"  surface. I predict that they will conduct racing at that facility for the foreseeable future.\n\n There is some pressure on Hollywood Park to sell the property they own for significant commercial development. I would say the owners response can be measured by their investment in a new track surface. They don't intend to move!\n\n Harness racing is very big in Indiana but they cannot shut out thoroughbred racing interests from the scene.  You or your friend can e-mail to me if you would like to discuss the issue further. I have covered every detail of Hoosier Park since before the day they opened their doors.\n\nHere is a link to their 3rd qtr. earnings report that details their recent activity.\nhttp://www.churchilldownsincorporated.com/our_company/company_news/2006_news_releases/company_news_11072006.html

When the biceps contract, the elbow flexes. When the triceps contract, the elbow extends. Yes, deers have elbows - they are the joints below the shoulder on the front legs.  \n\nThe energy comes from ATP, which is produced by metabolism of the food the deer eats.

Bucks are very cautious..tend to move early in the am and the evening, but they are usually closer than you think, hiding in the brush watching you, they are a little more relaxed in deep woods or heavy cover,where you are hunting is great by the sound of it, watch the edges of your fields, the usually stay close to the edge, ready to bolt back in the woods, but if they feel safe they will come more out in the open, just watch your movements, they dont miss a trick, be patient, dont mess with their rubs & try and find where the doe are..because there you will find your bucks..best of luck to you!

Actually, deer do not always travel with the wind in their face.  They (esp. whitetails) do use the same trails to and from their feeding and sleeping areas.  This is why scouting is very important for the bowhunter.  You need to determine which trail they will use for the time you are going to be on your stand.  Set up off of the trail with the wind in your face.  This way the deer cannot smell you.  If the wind changes, do not hunt this stand as it will only educate the deer and make them harder to get.  You will not fool a deer's nose.  Even with the scent reducing clothing, you still need to watch the wind.\n\n   Think of it this way:  A deer has three primary means of defense:  smell, sight and sound.  It usually takes alerting two of the three to trigger a "get the heck out of here" response.  If a deer sees you but does not smell or hear you, they will try to figure out what you are.  Same with if they hear you but don't smell or see you.  The exception is the nose.  If they smell you, they are gone!  Keep the wind in your face and set up down wind of the trail and you're 1/3 of the way to eating venison.  Good luck.

I've heard that some people think they can tell the sex of a deer by looking at its tracks but I have never seen anyone who can do it with enough regularity for it to have any meaning.  The most often heard method is to look for wider tracks and the presence of dew claws.  Supposedly, the buck has a wider track with dew claw prints while the doe had a narrower track without dew claws.  This doesn't hold up in actual practice because the wider track only means that the deer was a bit larger than another deer with a more narrow track.  It has nothing to do with the sex of the deer.  A big doe with a yearling fawn will leave a wider track than the yearling fawn even if it is a male.  Now, I have to admit, if you see an exceptionally wide track with the presence of dew claws, it most likely is a buck simply because bucks tend to be larger than does.  A big deer leaves a wider track than a smaller deer regardless of its sex.  I've also heard that there is some difference between doe droppings and buck droppings but I have never seen anyone who could actually tell the difference.  Deer droppings all look the same to me and I have seen a lot of deer droppings.  Turkey droppings are another thing.  There is a definite difference between gobbler droppings and hen droppings but you didn't ask about turkey droppings.

Just today I was wondering the same thing.  I was on my way home from the store and there was a dead deer laying on the side of the road, and not even 1 min, before I had nearly hit a dead possum.  I guess some animals can't get the message to there brain fast enough, the poor dears.
