Marty, I was wondering what works better a ground blind or ladder tree stand? And does the Growler by Madd Call really work? |
Sounds pretty basic, but each year some deer hunters choose to be drunk while out deer hunting.
Think about it.
When a person is out deer hunting you would think he or she would want to have all abilities and senses at their height, not dulled by the buzz of booze.
I once deer hunted with a guy who carried a fifth of whatever he had, as well as a twelve pack of beer in his pockets and fanny pack.
Notice I said ONCE. Click here to read this Deer Hunting Tip.
Deer Hunter Safety Begins Long Before Opening Morning of Deer Hunting Season
By Marty Prokop
Summer time brings with it hot weather and humid nights. Sure it may be hard to think of deer hunting when the thermometer reads 95 degrees Fahrenheit in the shade. But, summer time is one of the best times to make sure your upcoming deer hunting season is safe.
Let me explain.
It is a proven fact that human scent effects deer behavior. If your scent is in the woods, deer will travel out of their ways to avoid the area.
If a deer hunter waits until the night before deer season opens to check his or her deer stand, his or her scent will fill the woods. The result? Click here to read this Deer Hunting Tip.

Deer hunting is challenging enough when a deer hunter chooses to hunt with a rifle.
The challenge increases when a hunter opts to use a handgun for deer hunting.
Deer hunting with a handgun, much like hunting deer with a bow, requires patience. Unlike a deer hunting rifle, where you can shoot at ranges of 200 yards and beyond, a handgun’s effective range could be significantly less. Click here to read this Deer Hunting Tip.

Big bucks are getting harder and harder to find for some deer hunters.
What if you had so many deer on your deer hunting land that you could pick and choose which deer you wanted to harvest?
Sounds like a fantasy?
I believe it is much more real and possible than many deer hunters imagine. How? By implementing Quality Deer Management, here’s what I mean. Click here to read this Deer Hunting Tip.

In my opinion, it is best to let the younger bucks grow until they reach full maturity.
Judging how old a deer in the wild is can be tough. It can become increasingly difficult when coupled with the sheer excitement and adrenaline rush experienced when you see a buck while deer hunting.
One of the best ways to be able to judge a deer’s age is to study as many deer as you can. Click here to read this Deer Hunting Tip.

Hunting with archery equipment offers the deer hunter a longer season. In many states the archery deer season starts around mid-September and runs through the end of the year.
Deer hunting with archery equipment is a true test of determination and patience. An archer has to wait for the perfect, close range shot.
With archery equipment, I find I am using different muscles than I use during the rifle or muzzleloader deer hunting season.
What can an archer do to keep the shooting eye sharp and muscles in shape during the off-season? Click here to read this Deer Hunting Tip.
Quality Deer Management for More Monster Bucks
By Marty Prokop
When I purchased my
My second year deer hunting here, I learned the reason why I was seeing so few bucks.
The properties surrounding my own deer hunting land had huge groups of deer hunters.
I spoke with a few of the deer hunters from those groups. The deer hunters said they were deer hunting for any deer with a legal rack. It was in those conversations where I learned why I was not seeing any big bucks, or even small bucks, on my deer hunting land. The bucks were being harvested before they could cross the fence lines.

Deer Hunting Tree Stand Safety
By Marty Prokop
I recently received photos which graphically showed injuries to a bow hunter as a result of falling from his tree stand.
Apparently the hunter was in his deer hunting tree stand reaching for something. His bow with an arrow ready slipped out of his hands and fell to the ground.
He attempted to grab the falling bow and lost his balance. He and the bow hit the ground.
Unfortunately, as the hunter fell, his head landed on the broad head, penetrating his skull.
The hunter in this story was lucky. He lived. Click here to read this Deer Hunting Tip.
“Do High Priced Deer Scents Really Work?”
By Marty Prokop
I am frequently asked, “Which works better, deer scent collected and made from a single deer or deer scents collected from multiple deer?”
In other words, when it comes to deer scents, is there a difference that results in more deer or bigger deer?
A deer hunter could spend a small fortune on deer scents. I wanted to know what kind of deer scents are worth my money.
I decided to field test this. Click here to read this Deer Hunting Tip.
Attract Deer to Your Deer Hunting Tree Stand
By Marty Prokop
Last week I talked about how to get deer, and even big bucks, to follow you out to your deer hunting tree stand or deer hunting blind.
Today I am going to talk about how to attract more deer and bigger deer to your deer hunting tree stand or deer hunting blind.
Marty Prokop asks, “How Many Times Has This Happened to You?” Click here to read this Deer Hunting Tip.
Get Deer to Follow You to Your Tree Stand
By Marty Prokop
In the newsletter last week, I talked about cover scents. This week I am revealing how to use attractant scents to get deer to follow you to your deer hunting tree stand or deer hunting blind.
First, let’s talk about what scents to use when.
When deer hunting is open, I deer hunt as many seasons as possible.
This means I am archery hunting long before the deer rut begins. During pre-rut few, if any, does are in estrus. Click here to read this Deer Hunting Tip.
Making Sense of Deer Cover Scents
By Marty Prokop
A deer hunter could spend thousands of dollars on the latest and greatest products. Over the past 24 years I have tried many…some worked great and others went directly to the trash can.
I have been asked by our www.free-deer-hunting-tips.com community about types and styles of deer hunting supplies I use for deer hunting.
So in the next few newsletters I’ll talk about deer cover scents, deer attractant scents and bust the myths around high priced and low priced deer scents.

Scout for Big Bucks during Turkey Hunting Season
By Marty Prokop
Turkey and deer share the same habitats. Chances are if you are turkey hunting you will be hunting on or near your deer hunting land. Of course, deer season is not open, but turkey season gives you time to master your deer hunting land and increase your chances of harvesting a big buck or doe for the freezer come deer season.
Spring and summer deer patterns are very similar to those during the early fall, prior to the rut. When I am in the woods during the springtime, I scout and begin to pattern the deer on my deer hunting land for the early archery deer hunting season to come. Click here to read this Deer Hunting Tip.
Muzzleloader Deer Hunting
by
Marty Prokop
Do you want to lengthen your time in the field deer hunting?
My state offers a nine-day deer hunting rifle season. Although nine days deer hunting may seem like a lengthy season, I want to hunt more. Maybe you do too.
The solution? Muzzleloader season.
Most states offer a separate season for deer hunters who choose to deer hunt with a muzzleloader. In my state of Wisconsin, muzzleloader deer hunting season begins at the end of the regular rifle season. Click here to read this Deer Hunting Tip.
Picture yourself sitting on your deer hunting tree stand. You breathe in the fresh autumn air. You feel the crispness of early morning on your face. Sitting in your tree stand you watch animals like squirrels, grouse, snow shoe hares and the occasional eagle flying overhead.
You hear a twig snap off to your right. Your eyes search the woods for the source of the noise.

It never fails.
In the predawn hours, as you are walking to your deer hunting tree stand, you jump a deer. The deer takes off running. What do you do?
Should you stay there and hope the deer comes back when it is legal shooting time? Or should you continue on your way to your deer hunting tree stand? Click here to read this Deer Hunting Tip.
Marty Prokop Deer Hunting Treestand and Deer Blind Secret Tip #1
Once your ladder treestands and deer blinds are set up, place a pair of used socks or a shirt you have worn in each treestand or deer blind. If time allows, replace the socks and or shirt once per week. This will help the deer get used to your scent. Click here to read this Deer Hunting Tip.
In a prior blog post Moses asked about deer hunting from ground blinds versus ladder style deer hunting tree stands and which worked better.
I have tried both ground blinds and ladder tree stands. I’ve had great deer hunting success using both.
There are many brands of ladder tree stand available for deer hunting.
You can choose a single-person ladder tree stand, two-man ladder tree stand, tripod ladder tree stands, four-legged ladder tree stands and even fully enclosed shooting house ladder tree stands. Click here to read this Deer Hunting Tip.

Get More Results From Your Deer Scent
By Marty Prokop
Placing deer scent directly onto the scrape will attract deer.
The down side is that when you place the scent on the ground that the buck might walk over and past the scrape.
This could limit the number of bucks visiting the deer scrape. Click here to read this Deer Hunting Tip.
It is late season, and all you are seeing are does.
Though a doe for the freezer would be nice, you are looking to tag a big buck.
What to do When You Aren’t Seeing Bucks
Take a look at where you are hunting. What is the terrain like? Are you hunting in semi-open woods? Is your stand currently set up in gentle terrain with rolling hills?
Semi-open woodlots and a gentle terrain are doe magnets. During the rut you would probably find bucks in these same areas. With the main rut over and the majority of the does bred, big bucks are tired and need to rest. They will seek out thick, dense cover.
It may be time to move your deer hunting location. Click here to read this Deer Hunting Tip.
Three people this week have asked, “Marty, I want to put in a food plot to attract more deer for next deer hunting season, what are the best food plot seeds to plant for my area?”
This is a great question.
To see more deer and fill more tags next deer hunting season, start preparing your deer hunting land now.
Deer have three main requirements: food, water and safe places to bed down.
Let’s focus on food and food plots. Click here to read this Deer Hunting Tip.
Many members of the Free-Deer-Hunting-Tips.com community have asked me for recipes and directions to make jerky from their deer.

Is Your Ammunition Right for Your Deer Hunting Gun?

Venison Ribs Anyone?
By Marty Prokop
Venison Ribs … Ahh, yes, fresh barbequed venison ribs. They look so good. But looks, in this case, are definitely deceiving.
Why? I am glad you asked.
There are a few reasons you may choose to not eat the rib meat of deer that are field dressed in the wild — versus those who are farm raised and dressed and sanitized in inspected meat plants.
Why? What’s the difference? Click here to read this Deer Hunting Tip.
How to Deer Hunt the Best Private Land
Let’s face it. Not all of us deer hunting own our own deer hunting ground. This leaves deer hunters two options. Hunting whitetail deer on heavily hunted public land or asking landowners if you can deer hunt their private, less pressured land.
Even land that looks unavailable may be available to you. A recent survey showed 25% of private landowners who posted “no trespassing” signs on their land would still say yes to allow deer hunters access. Click here to read this Deer Hunting Tip.
You had a successful deer hunting year. Whether you harvested your trophy buck or a nice doe for the freezer, you can now enjoy venison meat in your freezer.
At 14 years old (several decades ago), I was very fortunate to harvest my first deer. I could hardly wait to sink my teeth into my first venison steak. I pulled a package of deer meat out of the freezer the night before, placed it in a bowl and put it straight into the refrigerator to thaw for dinner the next day.

Every year there are stories of deer hunters lost in the woods. Some may even spend a night or two in the woods. In most cases the outcome is pleasant. The deer hunter makes it home safely.
There are many ways you can avoid being lost in the woods while deer hunting. Click here to read this Deer Hunting Tip.
“Deer Prep at Deer Hunting
Camp to Bring Home More Meat”
by Marty Prokop
Here is a great Free Deer Hunting Tip on how to take home more meat for your family.
Did you know that hanging your deer head up could increase meat loss?
It is true.
In my 24-plus years processing thousands of deer I have seen large meat losses due to spoilage. Why? One of the main reasons is because the deer wasn’t hung properly during the cooling process. Click here to read this Deer Hunting Tip.
Good job! You got a deer. Now it’s time to talk about how to clean a deer. The first step is field dressing a deer.

There you are. It’s deer hunting opening morning at 8:05 am. You hear the crack of a twig off to your left. You squint looking into the brush seeing the outline of a big deer.
The deer takes just a few more steps; you catch a glint of sunshine bouncing off a big deer antler.
You raise your deer hunting rifle and wait for what seems an eternity for the buck deer to step out of the underbrush.
There he is…Mr. BIG.
A quick count reveals a typical 16-point buck deer with a rack as large as a soup can at the base. If he’s not a world record deer, he’s certainly a big trophy deer. The deer of a lifetime! Click here to read this Deer Hunting Tip.
