How far away can a deer smell and does it matter? I know friends who have shot them with a cigarrette hanging?

I used to shoot Oneida bows.  They are very smooth drawing bow as they have no cams.  They did tend to have some bad blow ups when they did go bad.  BAd limbs for  awhile, might have corrected it by now.  Nothing wrong with Oneida good idea that never really caught on.

Small world. I am from Fittstown, just a few minutes north of Tish'.\n\nI am afraid there aren't any places that are not private property or deer camps of some sort. \n\nAlthough the tracts of land are very large down that way  Iwould also not advise sneaking onto somebody's elses property. Trespassing is taken very seriously down there and he might get shot.\n\nMy best advice would be to find somebody who owns land in that area and ask if it can be hunted. Most people are very nice and willing to let you do this. They just want the deserved repect of being asked before you do.

I got a 6 point buck that had a nice ear to ear spread on him (not bad for only a 6).\n\nI hunted the opening weekend of the gun deer season in Wisconsin (11/18 - 11/19).  I saw 10 deer opening day (6 does, 4 bucks) and got one.  I saw a glimpse of a deer on the 2nd day and that was it.\n\nThe deer didn't seem to be moving all that well this year.  I'm heading out for the Illinois 2nd gun season on Thursday.  Hopefully they will be moving by then.

The slowest muzzle velocity ammo is faster than the speed of sound, add reaction time of deer to it, no. Multiple shots possibly afford some escape time.

I don't purchase new equipment because 1) lack of budgetary resources (single parent, 2 kids)  and 2) I have been using the exact same archery gear for about 20 years now.  Bear Whitetail II bow; Easton Gamegetter II 2117 arrows; Muzzy 150 gr. 4-blade broadhead; Grizzly 10-foot ladder stand.  Please don't laugh.  I realize that huge progress has been made in all these products.  But they work quite well for me.  I am very familiar with my bow and out to 30 yards or so, I can place my arrows in an 8" circle.  I get my bow out in late August, string it up, and shoot a couple dozen practice shots with field points to make sure everything is kosher.  A few practice shots with an old broadhead and I'm ready for Sept. 15 (archery opener here in E. NE).  I have killed 25 or so deer with this gear including a big wide 5X5 that was over 200 lbs. field dressed.  My feeling is that whatever gear you use, you have to know it's limitations and your own and you need to be confident in your ability to make a kill shot.  Nothing worse than a gut-shot deer with an arrow.  It will certainly die and you most likely will not be able to recover the animal.

yes the person who shot it only had a doe tag, upon bragging about it and showing it off in town someone called the DNR. the individual was cited and the boone and crocket deer was given to cabellas for mounting i believe. An awesome buck it was sooooo sad it was taken illegally

The smell of death.\n\nThere's nothing else like it.\n\nAnd it's the hardest thing to deal with, especially when you make a living cleaning up after death.\n\nMarshall Mulloy, the owner of Paul Davis Restoration in the Philadelphia suburbs knows the smell well.\n\n"It's hard to cope with death and it's a depressing thing to have to go in after a suicide or homicide or even a natural death," he says. "The odor of the aftermath is something you don't forget."\n\nMulloy says his company has cleaned just about everything, including vehicles.\n\n"I've even done cars that were totaled after a deer went through the windshield," he says. "We've had guys that shot themselves in the head in their car and have cleaned it up for auction."\n\nhttp://www.officer.com/article/article.jsp?siteSection=18&id=26242

i think you're referring to deer stands and their use.\n\na deer doesn't perceive "threats" from above.  therefore, they would not look up to see incoming problems.\n\ni've seen them look "up" before.  would appear to be beyond the 15 degree mark stated.

Actually being drunk would make it very hard to focus and shoot accurately so I doubt that they would be very successful.   I would assume being crazed would seriously hamper the success rate also.  As for deer being innocent, well they all say they are but can you really trust a deer?  Now if the question is really how to kill a deer with a bow and arrow then read on...\n  First you must practice for hours on end until you are good enough to put all of your arrows in a 6 inch group at whatever range you plan on shooting, normally 20 yards or less for Whitetail Deer and 30 to 40 yards for Mule Deer.  Then you must scout out an area to find a spot that will put you within that range of the deer.  You must buy a license to hunt with a bow in addition to your regular hunting license.  The money you spend goes into improving habitat for the very animals you are hunting.  After all of that, you must be able to get within range of the animal undetected.  Then you must draw the bow without being seen and release a shot that does not get deflected by any tree branches or grasses.  If your aim is true and the animal has not detected you, your arrow will find a vital spot and kill the animal.  Then, you must field dress it and transport it to the place where it will be skinned and cut up for consumption.  I hope this answered your question.

I hunt three different counties in north ark. , baxter, randolph, and craighead. Not married, no family, so I have alot of hunting time. I assure you the rut is not over. I saw a nice 8+ pt. chasing a doe Saturday, and a 5 or 6 pt. chasing Sunday. Just a little FYI, I have about 10 or so guys that hunt up here in different areas, we were all in agreeance that the rut came in just a little later than normal. Obviously the earliest does may be done but theres always the late ones that are just coming into estrus now, so it should continue for a while. With the massive acorn crop this year the best setup would be around good white oak trees, outside of thickets; where trails converge, or natural funnels. That being said we had two bucks killed on food plots last week mid morning, so if the bucks are running you never really know where they'll be. I'd do a little scouting and try to find where the deer are feeding during the day or traveling to and fro. If your looking for that Big Boy that hides out, dive off into the thickest stuff you can shoot in around where deer are traveling or hanging out. Best of luck to ya!

I personally haven't driven the Alcan, but my brother and other friends have.  They said if you have an NRA or any other pro gun decal, they tend to tear your vehicle apart at the checkpoint.  As a military member, you may want to expect it.  DO NOT CARRY FIREARMS!  The drive is beautiful, but take it easy around the corners.  I had a friend come around a bend and smack dab into a moose.  The moose ran off.  It caved in the roof of his car, and cost him alot of time and money to have it repaired, and it wasn't fixed very good.  It's crazy, but the drive is shorter from Montana than from Seattle.  Preplan your trip, check in with someone stateside on a regular basis.  Expect to pay a helluva lot more for gas.  Alaska is beautiful, though.  Hot up there is mid 80's.  The cold isn't that bad because it's a dry cold.  I ran around in jeans and a windbreaker in 20 degree weather.  I hope you have a 4 wheel drive.  Anything else, email me.

Only muzzleloading firearms that are 40 caliber or greater and capable of firing only a single charge may be used to hunt deer during this season\n\nhttp://www.maine.gov/ifw/hunttrap/hunt_traplaws.htm#MUZZLELOADING%20SEASON

Does your mom smell like a cows butt??  How many times have you sniffed goat meat to make a comparison??  Dumb way of thinking.

THE BEST WAY TO SHOOO MOOSE IS BY EMMITING AN AKWARD SOUND! TRY USING A STRANGE NOISE WHISSTLE! OR A LOUD HORN! THAT SHOULD DO IT! EVEN SMOKE WOULD DO GOOD!
