052Foretell Deer track and movement

posted by admin on December 18th, 2008

Whitetail deer hunting has been the most exciting and absorbing sport. I bet you can have chats and discussions for hours and your enthusiasm for the topic would never die. During my visit to the Pike County this November, we had a discussion that kept us awake till late and it was one of the most enlightening and fruitful discussions I have had. Someone had raised the question about foretelling deer movement and track and how it can help the hunter.

How can you predict deer tracks or movements? What came out was quite simple-As a basic rule a deer will hunt where there is food. You must identify those areas that are relatively isolated and potential food havens. Pike County deer hunting near the shelter or main food source will drive away deer from the place as they visit only those places that are least dangerous to them. This is because they are highly sensitive to the environment and know well where danger beckons. There were several other inputs from hunters. High temperature is a no-no for the deer. Go hunt in the evening or early morning on hot days. A relatively cooler temperature is a win-win situation. Storm and harsh winds do not go well with the deer as it has a string sense of prediction. It will look for a hideout. A light breeze is a perfect condition for Illinois deer hunting. My fellow hunters, out of their years of experience noted the above conditions. Another hunter quoted research and said that Illinois monster bucks come out in the open on full moon days like other animals.

All these will help you to get an idea of where and when to find deer and you can apply these rules best when your hunting season has a volatile weather pattern.
