Deer Hunting

As the winter approaches and the temperature drops, its time for America’s sportsmen to head to the woods. Deep in the woods hides the prize catch, the American Whitetail Deer. Numerous different species of deer live throughout the country, with white-tailed deer being the most common in the country.  The whitetail deer is by far the most popular species for hunting in America.

As the most sought after game animal in North America, the Whitetail Deer has always intrigued both deer hunters and non hunters alike.  There are over 30 recognized subspecies of whitetail deer in North and Central America, and another 8 in South America.  With an estimated population of 20-25 million and only 11 million hunters each fall, the Whitetail deer is sure to maintain its presence in North America.  North America is also known for its big deer, in fact, the current world record deer was shot in the north woods of America.

Deer normally live in a small range, when the winter weather starts to enter, the deer are forced to temporarily move elsewhere.  As such, the colder the weather, the more movement, the better the hunting conditions.  The average deer has a life span of 11 to 12 years, although most don't live that long where civilization and urbanization approaches their teritorry and forces the deer to live with humans.  In these conditions the deer are hit by cars, succumb to human diseases, killed by predators who are also struggling to survive or killed by deer hunters.

Deer hunting is a big part of American's early fall lives.  It may start with some hunting games, maybe some target practice, or just some all around bonding time, but it always ends the same, time spent with friends and family deep in the woods looking for the prize catch, the big deer.
