Hunting for the first year:what to look for.
hawkbow:
late season (January) deer are pretty easy to pattern... they should be moving from bedding areas to feed and water .... i have done really well hunting late season whitetails by learning their behavior during that time of year and ambushing them along their trails. good luck young brother of the bow .. aim small miss small.

I agree, in the late season hunt by the food! Good luck youngbowyer.and it never hurts to have an extra tag in your pocket (bear or otherwise) it is better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it ;)
youngbowyer:
On the private property that ill be hunting there's a river. In the late season it freezes over but one of the big deep pools doesnt. There a big cedar tree where i could set up a stand. Would that be a good spot?

Youngbowyer, On hunts when the sun is up, I like to enter the woods with a turkey call in my mouth. Any noise you make entering the woods will simply sound like turkeys. Read up on turkey calling though, cause you can easily sound of the alarm call turkeys make when they spot danger. that will just send deer running, watched that happen a few times. ;) I've also walked up on a lot of bedded deer using the calls. Good luck Friend!!

Find the food you'll find the doe's where theres doe's bucks are close by. ALL DEER LIVE BY THERE STOMACHS After you find the food use the wind to get to it when your walking in as well as when your there and even when you leave. So you can come back and your deer never know your there.
DEER THAT DON'T KNOW THERE BEING HUNTER ARE FAR EASER TO KILL. The less pressure the more you can see the deer.
THESE 2 THINGS WILL KILL YOU ANY DEER ANYWHERE.
