Eric Ford+Followwhen deer see you best during the day?Always heard deer eyesight peaks at dawn and dusk - is this actually true? Always felt like they catch every little move during those hours. What’s your take? #hunting #deerhunting #wildlifetips 358Share
Eric Ford+Followbuilding my first deer blind from scrap woodGot a pile of leftover lumber sitting around and thinking about building my own deer blind this season instead of buying one. Has anyone here DIY'd their own? Looking for tips on dimensions, window placement, or any mistakes to avoid. Worth the effort? #hunting #deerhunting #deerblind 137Share
paulcarol+Followwhy hunters lose deer they should have foundAfter you shoot, pick a specific landmark where you last saw the deer - "that pine with the broken branch" not just "over there." Everything looks different from ground level and you'll be way off track otherwise. Then wait 1-2 hours before tracking. I've watched too many hunters rush down and push wounded deer for miles. Patience saves more deer than anything else. What's your worst tracking story? #hunting #deerhunting #huntingtips #outdoors7070Share
Manuel Bright+Followthis spot produces turkeys 90% of the timeNew to public land? Skip the fancy scouting and head straight to water sources - creeks, ponds, rivers. Turkeys need water daily and these spots are wildlife magnets. It's the most reliable pattern I've found for locating birds fast. Works every single time. #hunting #turkeyhunting #publicland #huntingtips #outdoors586Share
bushjill+Followold trapper taught me this coyote secretSetting coyote traps isn't just about placement - you need the right attractant to bring them to that exact spot. I use a combo of beaver castor, fox urine, and curiosity scents at each set. You can buy commercial baits or make your own with a meat grinder and deer scraps. The key is using multiple attractants so any coyote passing by will investigate. What's your go-to bait recipe? #hunting #coyotetrapping #trappingtips #outdoors6855Share
tyler79+Followscent control products are a total scam!Unpopular opinion: the hunting industry convinced us we need $300 worth of scent eliminators when wind direction and basic hygiene work just fine. Grandpa never used any of this stuff and still outshot us all. Change my mind. #hunting #deerhunting #scentcontrol #huntinggear16110Share
bushjill+FollowI hunt better without scent blockersSpent thousands on camo, scent blockers, and fancy gear before realizing the truth - deer care more about movement and sound than what you're wearing. Grandpa killed more deer in blue jeans than I did with all my gadgets. What's your take on keeping it simple? #hunting #outdoors #wildgame6019Share
bushjill+Followwhy old timers never drink coffee before huntingMy grandpa always said "no coffee before the hunt" and I thought he was crazy. Turns out coffee makes you smell stronger to deer, plus you'll need to pee at the worst possible moment.😂 What's the weirdest hunting advice you've gotten that actually worked? #hunting #huntingtips #outdoors414151Share
Manuel Bright+FollowI trust the wind more than my camoAfter years in the woods, I’ve learned one thing: wind trumps camo every time. You can blend in perfectly, but if they catch your scent, it’s game over. Agree? #hunting #huntingtips #windmatters #outdoors512Share
tyler79+FollowWhy my knife matters more than my gunIt took me a few seasons to realize my hunting knife is just as important as any tag or rifle. From clean field dressing to cutting rope or even making camp lunch—your blade does way more than you think. Precision and durability matter when you’ve got meat on the line. If your knife can’t hold an edge, you’re in for a frustrating time. Got a go-to knife you swear by? #hunting #outdoors ##huntingknife #huntinggear472203Share
