| Whitetail Deer Travel Trends |
|
I noticed a trend in deer travel on my land long before it was high-fenced. The deer traveled in two distinct directions, regardless of wind direction. The animals moved from west to east in the evening, and from east to west in the morning. Back in those days, no one hunted the front woods on November 15, the opening of our firearm deer season. Hunters set in stands on the east side of the second woods to the west on opening day, and it wasn’t unusual to see 100 to 200 deer move through the front woods and across the big field. Some days they traveled with the wind on the tail, into a crosswind from the north or south, or even into the west wind. Wind direction seemed to made littl...

By Amanda Simon -- It was Nov. 11, 2006, the opening morning of modern rifle season and my first time to go deer hunting. My boyfriend, Kyle, and I went to the woods at around 6 a.m., about an hour and a half before sun up. Kyle dropped me off at my stand, and he went on to his. After sitting in the treestand for around half an hour, freezing rain started to fall and the temperature dropped to 35 degrees. As I sat in the treestand, I began wondering if deer hunting is worth this much trouble. Why am I in a treestand is this terrible weather? I should be in bed sleeping. I heard Kyle rattling the antlers, and I could barely see him from my stand. He was about 50 yards away, but we w...

| Training for a big catch |
|
Lake Dixon, Calif., has been the hot spot for a group of tightly focused competitive fishermen since 2003, when Jed Dickerson hauled a largemouth bass out of the lake that weighed 21 pounds, 11.2 ounces. No bass less than 20 pounds holds much interest for the big-bass hunters. Their goal is to catch the largemouth bass that will be officially recognized as the new world record. The current record is 76 years old. George Perry caught a 22-pound, 4-ounce bass near Jacksonville, Ga., in the summer of 1932. In monster-bass terms, where ounces are as big as tandem trucks, no one has come close to Perry’s record. The “bucket mouth” Dickerson caught was nicknamed Dottie because...
