There’s no better feeling than sitting in your stand in the pre-dawn light, and knowing that you did absolutely everything you could to maximize your odds this year out bow hunting. While others throw chance completely to the wind, you can sit content in your tree or blind with the confidence that you did everything possible to craft your property into the ultimate deer hunting paradise. Regardless of whether you get a deer or not, you’ll still feel successful. But before you can feel that amazing sense of accomplishment, you first need to learn how to attract and hold whitetails on your property. Let’s dig in.
First, let’s review a quick biology lesson that every bow hunter knows and few do anything to improve. Whitetail deer, or any animal for that matter, require cover, food, and water to survive. If your property is lacking any of those puzzle pieces, deer may still visit your property but they will be forced to leave to find the missing pieces. Think about it. If your house was very comfortable but lacked a refrigerator or water faucet, how long would you stay put? You’d need to go somewhere else to meet your basic needs. If you want to protect deer at younger ages so that they can mature into nice deer someday, you’ll need to have all three items on your land to eliminate any excuse they have to leave.
