The Adrenaline that a hunter feels being in the top of a tree stand waiting for the perfect deer to hunt is absolutely incredible, however hunters are not always lucky enough to find their prey.

We tested and align the rifles, to leave everything prepared to go hunting the following day at dawn. We were very positive that we were going to be lucky enough to hunt a big trophy deer, tough the results we had were never crossed our minds.
Our hope for a good hunt was increased because we saw that many family members had already hunted deer in our ranch, we knew that there were lots of wildlife on the ranch. Deers usually come out in the morning, and in winter season, this animals usually eat acorns, grass, nuts, and twigs, but what attracts them the most is a type of corn that many people call deer corn.

Animals would come out, but nothing close to what we were looking for. We were very excited and had a lot of hope, we had much desire, but the only animals that would come out were wild boars and does which are female deers, our eagerness was slowly disappearing due to the results we were having and it did not come to see us what we wanted, "don’t make any noise and be ready son, get the rifle and be ready, a deer can come out at any time", my dad said. The rifles used to kill such a big animal are most likely to be the .22 caliber 243 caliber, or 270 caliber. These caliber firearms require good aim and to try to hit the target with a single shot so that you can kill the animal. We were looking for a male deer, approximately an 8 point buck with a good weight. We left deer corn on the road so maybe in the way back to the house a deer could be there eating just in case we didn’t hunt

    White Tail Deer Wildlife plays a very important role in the history of our country, dating back hundreds of centuries to the first civilizations of Native Americans. White-Tail Deer (Odocoileus virginianus) played a significant part in how the Indians survived; deer supplied the Native Americans with meat (venison), clothing, tools, a source of trade between Europeans, and ceremonial items (Howe, 2011). This being said, if anything were to happen to the population of deer to decline the Indians way of life would be greatly hindered. Much like the Indians from centuries ago, the Indians from the 21st century still utilize the deer in the same way their ancestors did, along with many other Americans that inhabit the United States.

    ALTHOUGH RESEARCH CONFIRMS that the whitetail rut takes place at almost the exact same time every year, most hunters know that the rut’s intensity varies from day to day. As much as your head spins with the mental images of scrapes, full moons, rubs, monster bucks, and rut-crazed chase scenes, the best times to be in the woods will rarely coincide with calendar anniversaries.
