RECOMMENDED METHODS OF HUNT AND DEFINITION:
Stand - Stationing yourself in a promising area and staying there
Tree Stand - Same as Stand except you climb tree to gain vantage
Drive - Walking through woods en mass to push deer to waiting
standers positioned strategically
Stillhunt - Walking very, very slowly step by step through an area
Tracking - Following fresh deer trail to find deer
Rattle - Rattling deer horns to bring deer to you
Rattling is similar to a 'Calling' method where deer calls are
used to bring deer to you.
THE VARIABLES AND THEIR POSSIBLE CHOICES ARE:
Size of Deer Sought: big buck, other bucks and doe, wounded deer.
Time of Day: morning (6-10am), midday (10-1pm), afternoon (1-4:30pm).
Type of Snow Falling: none, lightly snowing, heavily snowing.
Type of Rain Falling: none, light or medium rain, heavy rain.
Rain Characteristics: fog, rain falling for extended period.
Rut: yes, no.
Terrain: farmland (open with woodlots), flat, hilly, wooded, swamp.
Day of Season: opening day, rest of season.
Ground Cover: noisy snow and/or leaves, soft snow, no snow.
Wind: calm or light wind, high wind.
Temperature: very cold (below 12 degrees).
Miscellaneous: number of people in party, skill at finding way in woods.
***NOTE: FROM EACH VARIABLE CLASS ANSWER YES TO ONLY ONE OF
CHOICES FOR THE VARIABLE. THE QUESTIONS ASKED IN
THE CONSULTATION MAY ASK YOU ABOUT MORE THAN ONE OF
THE VARIABLE CHOICES. WHEN YOU ANSWER YES TO ONE CHOICE
THEN YOU MUST ANSWER NO TO THE REST FOR THAT VARIABLE
FOR THE ANSWER TO HAVE MEANING. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO HAVE A
YES ANSWER FOR EVERY VARIABLE UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED.
For example, answering yes to morning requires answering no to
mid day and afternoon (if asked). Similarly, answering yes to
heavy rain requires answering no to light or medium rain.
We know the above rule may seem awkward at times but it allows us to
keep the size of the data base workable. Without it the data base
could take up a whole hard drive! We feel the present size makes
optimum use of your computer and its resources and the program
runs on many types of systems.
FINDING WOUNDED DEER CONDITIONS:
When you answer no to the first two questions (After doe, After big
bucks), an added section follows for 'After wounded deer'. Here
we refresh your memory about some basics you can use to determine
where you shot the deer, whether it is a probable kill shot, and
subsequent actions to take. It is a useful training or planning
tool prior to the actual hunt.
