You have to wear such a dress which brings comfort to you. Unless it is winter, you can wear the simple and loose dress.
Avoid blue dress
Deer are color blind to red to orange dress. But they can see clearly the blue color like we see in the sky. So, it will be wise to avoid blue dress.
Use camouflage
You must use camouflage if you are hunting in open space. Camouflage will distract their mind even after your movement.
Use boots and waterproof dress
Don’t forget to wear the waterproof dress because you may need to get drenched in the river or in the rain or by somehow else. And to avoid the mud and other spooky things you must put the boot.
5. Take proper Hunting equipment:
Proper equipment will increase your effectiveness. You should carry with yourself .
- Binocular
- First-aid box
- Rangefinder
- Flashlight
- Knife
These things are the must to carry. Binocular will let you find the deer from a long distance. First aid box is the minimum safety issue. During shooting, the rangefinder will help to make your target exact.
6. Set your position
Don’t shoot by just locating after the deer. Let the deer stand still. Then make it sure that the deer is standing perpendicular to the barrel. Because without this view, you won’t be able to shoot the deer perfectly.
Now, quickly pull off the safety trigger and shoot the deer.
7. Don’t run before the deer
After shooting the deer, you don’t need to run behind the deer. Because the deer will move here and there for the sudden shock and then become dead with just 15 to 3o minutes.
If you run to catch the deer, it will be nothing but wasting your energy. Don’t do that. Wait for some time and then catch the deer.
8. Follow the bloodline
To find out the deer after shooting, you have to go to that place where the deer was before. There you may find the sign of blood, hair or the other signs. You have to check the bloodline. Just go with that line. After some time, you will get the body easily.
