Take Advantage of Your GPS When Hunting

A GPS is a good way to prevent getting lost while you are hunting. You can use your global positioning system to find your way back to a previous area by marking locations. Hunt more efficiently by marking potential areas where deer may congregate. You can use topographical maps to find spots quicker. Build a database in your GPS receiver of scrapes, beds and feeds that you find. Develop a coding system that is easy to remember such as T=tracks, S=scrapes and R=rubs, etc. Record the information in a computer program or log upon returning home. By studying the data and noticing patterns you will have more successful hunts in the future.

During bad weather you can use your global positioning system to help you get to safety quickly. When you get separated from your group you can use GPS to help you navigate back to camp. GPS can also be used in emergency situations to communicate with rescue personnel. No more wandering around the woods lost and looking for your base camp.

In the middle of a hunt you may not realize where you are once you stop and if you find yourself in this situation a GPS unit will come in handy. A back-lit unit is less noticeable to your prey in the dark and it allows you to see where you are going. In the dark if you have made a kill you can mark the spot in order to find the fallen animal when you return to collect him.

This is just one modern technology that you can use to help you be a more successful hunter. This tool will not only help to keep you safe but can get you out of a predicament when necessary.

How to Drive a Buck Crazy

When you want to drive a buck crazy you have several choices. I like to find two scrapes from at least one mile apart of each other. Dig up some dirt and get at least six inches into the ground and put the soil into a plastic trash bag. I do this at both scrape sites. Then I deposit the soil obtained from one site into the second site patting the soil firmly into the ground. I repeat this at the second location. If you have scrape material from another deer the buck will think his scrape has been intruded upon. The dominant buck is more likely to return to the scrape.

Warning: This does not always work and when it does not it is usually because the buck smells trace human scent or he is just being cautious. Even if this fails you gain knowledge in the behavior of the deer in the area that you are hunting. By taking notes about your experiments you are able to build upon your knowledge and findings. Soon you might find that dominant buck you want to hunt.
