Whitetail deer hunting is the most popular big game hunting sport in America! This has continued to be a fact over the years for many reasons. Whitetail deer are plentiful throughout America. Despite the fact that they are heavily hunted, whitetail deer continue to produce more offspring than are harvested. In fact, they are becoming a nuisance in many areas because of over population.
The whitetail deer is a challenge to hunt. They can see, hear and smell better than human beings. Hunters find it challenging to go into the deer’s territory and attempt to outwit them. A successful hunt means meat on the table, and if properly cared for, deer meat (venison) is healthy food with a delightful taste.
