Thread: How can I shoot more deer, and what's your hit rate?

Oneshot hit it on the head really. Experience counts, the next deer is always easier to get than the last one. Seeing them is more important than shooting them, that's really only the last few seconds of a successfull hunt (the shooting bit).
You need to learn the animals behaviour patterns and just get out there. I personally find binoculars very important.
I've been hunting for over 30 years and I usually go out once a week, I almost never go out without seeing a deer but I have access to some very good blocks.
It takes years to be a good hunter and hunting with an experienced skilled hunter helps...
