When hunting deer in Canada the white tail deer is the main choice for hunters. It seem that Prince Edward County in Ontario, has been a successful hunting area for many locals but only if they are very good and experienced at hunting white tail deer.
A local hunter in Prince Edward County, Bernard B. whom I’ve met and talked with a few times will tell you just how exciting and successful you can be hunting white tail deer in Canada if you know what your doing.
Nov,2009 – Bernard B.
It was a cool calm foggy morning. Walking to my tree stand at 6:30 am I spooked a deer, but it didn’t go fare maybe 60 yards.
I waited about 10 min and quietly walked to my stand area. Being the rut was on I put out some doe in heat at 20 yards x 3.
I get settled in to my climber at 20 ft and wait 10 mins. I use a doe in heat bleat can x 2 and wait. Snap’ Deer 80 yards, down wind, the deer now at 40 yards and I can see that it’s a buck and a nice one.
He lifts his head back and smells the air , I pray that this buck doesn’t smell me, I shower and use a carbon suit, but dead down wind, but again the rut is on. He comes 30 yards and rubs a tree, of course no shot, he turns and walks through the thickest stuff around me.
I have one chance at 20 yards if only he will stop in it. I draw my bow and sure enough he stops in the exact spot I needed. Complete pass-through behind the front shoulder.
He jumps, runs 20 yards then stops, he jumps again straight in the air and off on the dead run, 60 yards, deer down. I thanked God and started shaking all over, (maybe a tear or two also).
Called the wife, she thought I fell out of my stand, (cause of being so excited).
I hunted for 14 days out of 3 weeks to get this buck and moved stands all over the county.
