Scaring deer out of area..what to do?
?I have had pics of two large bucks every single night for the past two months at a corn pile but they only came when it was dark. I figured out where they are bedding down during day light hours and put a stand 50 yards away fromk it in the woods and now I am not getting pics anymore...do you think I spooked them?..how do I get them to come back??..thanksScaring deer out of area..what to do?
they'll be back.try using peanut butter. good luck.Scaring deer out of area..what to do?
Could very well be that acorns are dropping and they'll be visiting them instead. If that's the case, forget about the corn.
Depending on where you live, the rut is going to begin in 2-4 weeks for a lot of the county. It's time to move to the ridges anyways if you want a decent buck.
Yup, you sure did. ya should have put up that stand months ago. If they do come back, I expect a juicy t-bone sent my way. Good luck.
They probably smelled your scent..... you have to be careful around where they bed down..... you might try a salt lick block and some apples back in their are to see if that will lure them back.
You found them, they found you. There's a balance there. They'll probably be back in a week or two, being creatures of habit, as soon as memory fades a bit.
Whitetails feed on cycles and are pretty dependable while following their daily cycle unless that cycle is interrupted.. I can't say that building your stand might have spooked them, if you built it very recently, or they got your scent.If that's the case, they will eventually return to their old feeding cycle once again, after a few undisturbed days. I've found that there are usually unrelated reasons for the interruption. On nights when there is a full moon, Deer feed all night long instead of just a few hours as they would normally. This in itself can cause a temporary interruption of their regular feeding cycle, and can easily be the reason your trail cam isn't picking up any recent activity. If I were you I would just be patient and give it another week or so before you do anything. Leave your camera where it is for now and give the Deer a chance to return to their regular feeding habits. I'll be willing to bet you haven't seen the last of your Buck.Good Luck!
NOTE* Make sure it is LEGAL in your state to bait Deer....
At this time of the year bucks are all over looking for does. They will probably not come back to the food until the rut is over. General bucks do not even eat much during the rut. Too busy.
So start looking for buck rubs on trees and reset your camera.

Tonight my dog was attacked by a deer!!?
Tonight one of my 3 dogs chased 10 deer down to our back fence.When my husband heard him whining, he charged down there and scared them off the dog.
Well, in the mean-time my little dashound Squirt was going to the bathroom up by the house,my husband turned around because he heard something and it was a deer that ran all the way back up to the house to stomp my dog.
She has a hoof gash right on her side by the shoulder about 2'; long and it's split right open.Not very deep,but how can I treat it as my vet didn't want to see her tonight..Yes,I am changing vets.I have heard superglue,tylenol.I want to know something that you have used,and it works.Tonight my dog was attacked by a deer!!?
Poor little thing!
Keep pressure on the wound (probably already stopped bleeding, yes?) and put gauze on it. Keep it bandaged good, and call an emergency vet. You can wrap ice in a washcloth and press it to the wound to keep swelling down. Basically treat it as if it was a cut on your skin.
***I wouldn't give the dog any meds, he's pretty small and could get very sick. Superglue is a good idea if the bleeding won't stop--it was created for the US Army as a medical adhesive. But you shouldn't use it unless you really have to.
And shame on your vet for not wanting to see you tonight!Tonight my dog was attacked by a deer!!?
omg! thats horrible! and your dog got OWNED! try calling an emergency vet! they should help you no matter what time of night or day!
For sure give the poor thing tylenol. I lived on a farm growing up, so we have had many injuries with pets, dogs, cats, calves, foals, you name it. And for as awful as this may sound my parents couldn't always afford the vet. So we learned to self treat pretty fast. I had a foal that had gotten attacked my a mt lion. Luckily, the other horses scared it away. Her hind quarters got scratched up pretty bad. Between the basic H, and the mare. She turned out ok. Another one here. I had another foal who had decided to role under the barb wired fence when we were away on vacation in SD. He was only 3 or 4 days old. Well he of course was trying to suckle, ripped his neck wide open. Dad thought he was a gonner. We mixed some basic h and kept it clean with that. It worked like a charm. He ended up with a colic there, but it healed wonderfully. He is now a bronc horse in Bismarck ND.
Just keep it clean. As i think i saw someone advise already, keep pressure on it. Get the bleeding to stop. Once you do that, and get the pain under controll, you'll be one step closer to having your dog back. Still take her to the vet, but those were just ideas for you til then. We've saved cats that have been run over, pups that have been kicked by cows/horses. I swear my dad should have been a vet, but i guess thats what comes with ranchin for all those years and living in the middle of no where.
Here is the basic first aid for a laceration. Scroll down to laceration, to find the treatment%26gt; http://www.dog.com/vet/firstaid/01.asp
yes, I have heard of deer attacking little dogs
clean it out bandage with loose cloth and go to the emergency vet. and shame on your stupid vet, I thought hey weren't allowed to do that.
No tylenol please, it's not safe to give dogs but you can give her a baby aspirin (81 mg), that's safe. If it's not actively bleeding, just keep it clean. You really don't want to put anything on it to seal it if the new vet wants to deep clean it %26amp; depending on how it looks, they may want to put a drain in it.
Deer may look soft %26amp; sweet, but as you've found out, they can get mean. And the stress level was major so they just went after whatever they thought was a threat. Not only will they kick but they'll also bite %26amp; who knows what bacteria they carry.
Hope your little one is alright %26amp; make sure when she feels better, she doesn't try to get revenge. And I would report your vet to the vet association or licensing agency. He is supposed to treat your pet if you feel that it's an emergency %26amp; a dacshound getting kicked by a deer %26amp; injured is. Your new vet should be able to give that info or the humane society.
I feel so sorry for that little pooch! He sounds like a beautiful dog. I wouldn't try to use any glue etc. incase something goes wrong, %26amp; I would call an emergency 24 hour vet as soon as possible. Hope little Squirt heals up soon!
ah the poor thing.
I would be calling a all night emergency pet clinic/hospital.
I have heard of using glue like you asked, but I wouldn't, the wound needs to be cleaned and checked by a vet.
No tylenol, no NSAIDS.. See a different vet tonight.. You shouldn't do anything that they'll have to undo tomorrow when you go to the vet.
Clean it tho, but leave it.

Do Deer Move Well After Rain?
its still mildly raining where i am, and it just got done with a heavy rain a couple of hours and cant decide if i want 2 go deer hunting, and dont wanna go get soaked and not c anything because they arent movingDo Deer Move Well After Rain?
I have found that after a long and hard rain, there will be very good deer movement afterwards The best time to be up a tree or on stand is as quickly as it stops. When I first started to bow hunt it had rained hard all day and through the night. I was on my stand up a tree when the rain stopped a little after daylight that morning. In 35 minutes I had taken 3 shots. The bad news is that with heavy clothing and a slicker suit, the string kept hitting my bow arm, and I missed a doe, a spike and a decent 8 point.Even missed opportunities make good memories in the world of hunting. Good luck on your hunting! Mine will start in 6 days!Do Deer Move Well After Rain?
Deer will often move after a heavy rain or snow. They often seek out better areas to bed down again with more protection.
One of my most productive photography outings was near Reno righ after a heavy snow storm. The snow quit at about noon and the deer were all on the move out of the ravine bottoms.
I have found then to move well during a light rain and after a heavy rain. Then tend to ';hunker'; down during the heavy stuff, then feel the need to roam when it gets done.
I would imagine they probably do. If they have arthritis like I do, though, you wanna get them before the rain, that's when it really hurts. Good luck!
They are going to be moving after bedding down to stay out of the worst of the rain. Observe where trails cross and hope.
if its heavy rain they well bed down, then when it lets up they come out to eat, most of the time anyway...so yeah they might be out now.
I went hunting after some rain and saw a few deer, but I know that they really move in snow.
only if it is light rain and a good time of day
i got my first deer when it was raining a little after a big downpour
here in Oregon if you wont hunt when it is raining you wont hunt
Its one of the best times to actively hunt them.*

Treating deer antlers?
i found a pair of 5pt. antlers in my backyard and i was wondering if i should do something to clean them or if there fine as they areTreating deer antlers?
Well you can either keep them as is, or buy a can of spray finish from your home improvement store, and spray a nice thin coat and it comes out actually pretty nice. Well I hope it works out for you, Take Care!

Is it morally okay to kill a deer for sport?
It's called hunting. It isn't really a sport. If someone is going to kill a mammal just to satisfy their sick little blood thirst it couldn't be more wrong. Everyone has a little different opinion. I believe one should be ethical in all he/she does to be conservation minded. Making a clean kill and not wasting the animal is the only way it should ever be done.Is it morally okay to kill a deer for sport?
Well, I really like Ted Nuggent,but I personally could not kill Bambi....I just do not have a hunter's heartIs it morally okay to kill a deer for sport?
In my particular religion, no. We got a rule against that. However if you kill a deer for the purpose of sport AND food, that's a different story.
Yes.
It's not okay to kill any animal for sport.
I wouldn't...
No.. killing it for food is another story.
May I kill you? For sport?
No, it is not. If it was the only possible food you could get that would be a different story.
';Hunters'; must have a different ';moral compass,'; if they have any at all, but to kill ANYTHING for sport is just plain mean %26amp; immature. ';Sport'; is recreation, a passtime that suggests competitive activity in a group, (such as baseball), or can be individual as in playing golf. What is competitive about a person (armed, of course), hunting down a defenseless deer %26amp; killing it for the ';sport'; of it? Even ';sportive'; refers to games, playfulness. I have no regrets when I hear of hunters accidentally shooting each other. This is one moral standard that is NOT subjective, or can be defined as ';a matter of opinion.'; (You did say FOR SPORT!)
Not for sport. Killing anything for sport is morbid in my mind. Food is one thing, it's going to good use. To kill something for the purpose of mounting its head on the wall is disgusting.
A guy spents 3 thousand dollars on equipment to kill an animal whos brain is the size of a orange. Is that a sport?
for a sport- no. to keep the population under control- sure.
No only if you're going to eat it.
Yes if you implant the deer with rocket launchers and thermal scope otherwise nope.
whats morals got to do with it....?
Only if the deer threatened to kill you first, Goober.
Morality is a question for the individual, so the answers you get cannot be anything more than opinions. I would not ever hunt for sport because I do consider it morally wrong. However, I will not chastise anyone who believes differently on this matter than I do.
I don't think it is morally wrong. Just kind of pathetic. The way most hunters go armed they may as well be shooting a stray cat in their backyard. How does anyone feel like a man after killing bambi with rifle from long range. Use a bow. Or if you really want a challege how about a knife?
Sorry for the rant, I guess my point is, if you are hunting for food use whatever you need. Don't go out with a gun and say it is sport.
NO. Rent the movie, ';Powder';
If you bring the meat to my house.
I can not understand the sport of it. You are killing a defensless animal with a gun. Maybe you should at least be man enough about it and go hand to hand.
Why kill the deer, shoot it with a camera if you have to.
no, to kill something just to kill it is wrong. For food is a different story.what in your opinion is bes c ide and
