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.

Author(s):

Almy, Gerald A.

Abstract:

Almy discusses shed hunting. Sheds are the antlers that a deer loses, usually in mid- to late January. Another set of antlers will be grown by the fall. Hunting sheds give hunters an idea of where deer travel on game lands and the age of the deer. Shed hunting has become so popular that guided, weeklong shed hunts in prime deer areas, including food and lodging included, can cost as much as $3,000. Fortunately, it is free on game lands and the hunter's own hunting area.

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.
