How Can I get deer to come to me in hunting season?

Hang out by the road. I got hit by a doe a month ago. I saw her, slowed down and as soon as I got next to her...WHAM! She dented my drivers side door, broke my sideview mirror and dented the left front panel. I'm just glad I didn't hit her head on. I was on a 2 lane road, nowhere to go. No where to stop for another 5 miles. \nGet one for me.\n\nAnd for those who think it is cruel to hunt? The hunters help to control the deer population. I would rather the deer get shot, die quickly than be hit by a car and lay by the side of the road injured and in pain. Or God forbid, someone get killed in an accident after hitting a deer. \nHunters also donate the meat they won't use to homeless shelters.

No.  Most hunters I know hunt for the food and those who don't donate the meat.  Deer do tons of damage to hay bails, cars, and it is the only way to control an already out of control deer population, without allowing the deer to starve to death

My family hunts deer and ducks. I have done both, but haven't been very successful.  Both sides of my family have a long history of hunting.  People think its wierd that I grew up with lots of guns in my house just outside of Chicago, but that's the way my parents grew up!

Some good ideas already posted. I like to start dogs very early. A good hunting companion is well mannered. You must teach your pup to obey simple commands . Sit ! Stay ! Come ! Load up ! The way I do this is use small pieces of hot dogs and when the pup does what you want, reward him. With any hunting dog, it is very important for the dog to come to you when called. \n Contrary to what many believe, man is not the only thing that hunts for fun. Beagles love, really love to chase rabbits. You may wan to come home and the dog may want to hunt for another hour or so.\n You must also teach the dog not to chase other animals. If it starts to chase deer, or cats, or fox then it will be impossible to run rabbits with it. \n   Have fun !

i live in kentucky, and in the evening you can see them standing in groups in my back yard ! the same in virgina, you see them driving along the road, but you must ask most people before you hunt on their property, most will let you as long as it is deer season.

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!

I don't think you can use a crossbow on birds, but a longbow or compound bow can be used to take game birds in season.  A special type of fletching (feathers at nock end of shaft) called "flu-flu" radically slows arrow flight after 20 yards or so resulting in fewer lost arrows from shooting into the air.  Also a good safety feature for the same reason.  Use a wide rubber blunt tip to hunt with rather than a field point (practice) or broadhead (big-game hunting).  These kill with blunt force trauma and not blood loss or vital organ penetration.  Some bird points also have thin stiff wire loops sticking out to the side to ensnare the bird.  Check your local regulations as to seasons and weapons usage, though.  There is a famous video of Fred Bear (Bear Archery Founder) bagging rooster pheasants with a longbow.  Hope this helps.  Good hunting.

when stalking deer keep the wind in you face if you keep it at you back your scent and sound will travel farther ahead of you alerting the deer before you get a chance to see them.  the best time to make a stalk is right after or during a light rain or snow when the leaves on the ground are quiet and your scent doesn't travel as far when it is wet out.  as for blind logs and sticks work well.  if you have the time and are on private land  a couple of months before the season you could use some old carpet and wire.  string the wire through top edge of the carpet and hang around a few small trees or posts.  they also make quality popup blinds that range from 75 to 300 dollars that work well. the main purpose of a blind is to conceal your movement.  hope this helps.  best of luck

first of all, you'll need a general hunting license.  before you can buy that, you'll probably have to take a 12 hour hunter safety class.  those classes are mandatory in most of the states.  once you pass, you can buy your license.  then you can buy or apply for a deer permit.  deer season is usually in oct-dec, depending where you live.  some states only allow shotguns for deer, others allow rifles.  if you can use a rifle, i'd suggest you go to walmart and buy one of their "package" guns in a .308.  a package gun has the gun, trigger lock, sling, and scope.  remingtons and savage's are both good.  you'll also need to sight in your rifle.  try 2 or 3 different brands of ammo, and use the one that shoots the tightest group.  buy a cleaning kit too.

Yes, but don't say on stand very long. You need to move around a lot and use the rain to your advantage (masks your odor and sounds). Most likely the only deer you're going to get is the one you walk up on while it's bedding down. I'd recommend you use a shotgun with one slug backed up my as many OOO buckshots as your tube will hold because it'll probably be a running shot unless you're very very sneaky. Look for them in heavy cover (dense pine branches that hang low) probably on the high ground.

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

Any shot that severs the spine will drop a deer dead before it hits the ground.  However, those are risky shots and may end up wounding the animal.  The same goes for head shots...they end up wounding more deer than killing them.  The most effective shot is just behind the shoulder about 1/3 of the way up the body.  That will take out the lungs.  If the deer is quartering away from you, aim at the far shoulder.  If the deer is headed directly toward you, aim for the middle of the chest under the neck.  If the deer is facing away from you, wait until it turns to get a better shot.  Keep in mind that with all of these shots the deer will run off a little distance, usually less than 100 yards.  If you need to drop the deer right there in it's tracks, shoot for the middle of the shoulder.  That will bread the shoulder bone and drop the deer.  You will most likely need to follow up and shoot it again in the neck when you get to it.  Check out the link below to see a visual of what I just described.  Good luck.

If you try to shoot anything bigger than a bird or squirrel with that toy, your just going to scare the hell out of it.  \n\nMy suggestion is that you get a real rifle (that is if your old enough to buy one), and learn how to use it.  Then you need to get a hunting liscense that covers whatever it is you want to hunt ie turkey, deer etc.  \n\nIf you want a challenge, kill wild hogs.  They are infesting every continent except for Antarctica.  They are big, smart, very dangerous, and yummy.

DON'T FEED DEER ....it's unnatural and facillitates the spread of disease.\n\nIf you want to improve their diet plant a field to clover or alfalfa and let them consume it through natural feeding.
