Step 1
Buy a deer stand for bow or gun hunting. Take into account comfort level and set up location--choose between a tree or ground stand. Placement and selection of the deer stand is based on the area where the deer frequent.
-
Step 2
Get out in the woods a month or more ahead of the hunting season. Put your stands up, and tie a few white rags off the stand. Trick the deer into getting used to movement around the stand. Decrease the likelihood that the animals get spooked when you're in the stand.
-
Step 3
Use more than one stand in different feeding areas. Deer enjoy eating a wide variety of foods. Take advantage of this fact by finding more than one area where the deer graze. Look for bedding areas when hunting early in the mornings or late in the evenings.
-
Step 4
Put your stand up near a well-liked food or water source. Scout the area for months or even over years to determine where the deer like to eat and when. This type of observation gives you good ideas about deer stand placement.
-
Step 5
Find a good deer trail. If you can find funnel areas where the trail narrows to a small path, you'll have an even better opportunity to get a shot off when the deer slows down.

on 9/18/2009 Hey caroline1346.... Hay you tried it or are so some little PETA member crying about the unethical treatment of animals??? First of, on average only 17% of bow hunters bag a deer.... must not be that easy to "KILL" a deer huh..... Second, do your research, thinning deer population is actually good for the species it helps to prevent issues such as starvation from over population using up all the resources.....Basically Shut the h*ll up!!!
