Kibler, Dan

Abstract:

A number of hunters use food plots to attract deer in season instead of putting bait, such as corn, apples, and sweet potatoes, on the ground. Food plots also provide nourishment year-round. Among the forage plants that provide nutrition for game animals are clover, oats, chicory, soybeans, cowpeas, chufa, turnips, and vetch.

Ingram, Bruce

Abstract:

When North Carolina’s archery season begins in September, a key factor for bow hunters’ success is deducing what local whitetail deer will be eating. Deer in northeastern North Carolina have a reputation for growing large due to the abundance of crops. Understanding what kind of food deer eat can help hunters determine hunting positions.

Lineberry, L. L.; Atkinson, Hal S.

Abstract:

Firelighting is a way of taking deer at night by aid of a light, usually a powerful flashlight or car spotlight. The firelighter takes advantage of the deer's night feeding habits and its tendency to be immobilized by a bright light. This method of hunting is illegal. The authors discuss the progress that is being made in bringing these violators to justice and the hazards firelighting creates for both violators and law enforcement officers.
