Weird Deer Tricks

[robnj]

i never tried it but you can use alam clocks to drive deer out of certain spots if you know when they bed there and when they leave to get in and set them up.

Maple syrup, thought it would bring the bears in, and a couple of does too.

When hunting the ground on a field edge (or a lawn edge) use a white sock to "flash" deer from a distance. Be careful not to overdo it. The trick is to use the sock when they are not looking directly toward you. They have great peripheral vision as we know. A quick flash is often times enough to get them coming in your direction.

Interesting ideas.

One property I use to hunt' date=' I would clean small walking paths so I could get to the stand very quiet.

Removing all leaves down to bare ground...

Soon found deer following these paths right to my stand.

Later used this tactic to draw them into shooting lanes just outside of thick brush.

Bingo...

Something along the bucket idea worked for a friend of mine many times over. He used a small plastic basin filled with water, they would come in for a fresh drink.

I do this also. I take a rake out and clear a couple paths about a 100 yds out from my stand in different directions.

Been thinking of placing a radio or radios out yonder and then just key the mike or talk to get the deer moving my way when they go where I don't want them.
