Deer Hunting - A Year Round Sport?
Most hunters regard deer hunting as having two-seasons: getting ready to hunt, and then hunting. Deer hunting season lasts only a couple months for many people. Remembering seasons past is how the rest of the year is spent by many deer hunters. But you can get a head start on the next deer hunting season by talking with other deer hunters, and doing some reading and planning for the upcoming season.
Deer Hunting Encounters
My role as a wildlife biologist requires me to spend a considerable amount of time in the bush, even during the off season. It is at this time of year that I find the tree stands and observation sites that I'll set up for the following year. During the summer, once in a while I'll happen to meet a deer hunter in the woods. Far from any road, scouting materials in hand, they are often out there enduring heat, mosquitoes, and other discomforts of the summer season. When they first see me, they look disappointed since they assume I'm another deer hunter in the territory they've staked out.
When they find out I'm a biologist, they start cheerfully hounding me for every bit of information I have about the local habitat. They often know as much about the habitat in the area as I do. For example, come fall, they know the bucks they see during summer will be found in another habitat area. They're out there in the woods looking for everything from doe concentrations to last year's rubs. Just looking at the ground around them is how a lot of their time is spent. They might also be carrying attractants like C'mere Deer or dry molasses, and trail cameras. But its funny how my questions about previous hunting successes seldom get a straightforward response.

My Deer Hunting Buddies
These people are serious deer hunters. Sometimes one of these hunters will ask me for my card, and once they have it I know I'll start hearing from them once a year or so after that. I've grown to trust what they think is happening on a piece of habitat, and I learn a lot from them. They'll frequently get in touch with me to ask questions when planning their hunting trips. Deer hunters know the relationships between wildlife and their habitats, and they have a genuine love of the outdoors, so I enjoy talking with them.
Deer Hunting - Enjoy it Year Round!
The deer hunting season continues year round for these devoted hunters. The season starts with scouting and ends with harvesting. Scouting season is even better than the harvest season for some of these woodsmen, since it means they have the bush to themselves. Whether they're scouting, hunting, or simply reminiscing about past seasons, for them deer hunting is a sport that can be enjoyed year round.
