As whitetail deer hunters we spend a ton of time worrying about our scent and camouflage. While scent is extremely important, it is easy to overlook the importance of the noise we are making while we are in the woods. Nothing will get a deer’s attention quicker than a loud or unfamiliar noise. Many hunters are busted by mature deer every year by dropping a piece of gear, accidentally breaking a branch as we walk, or clanging metal together. Let’s talk about some ways that you can silence your movements and gear to ensure that you stay under the radar when bowhunting this fall.<\/p>\n
Moving Through The Woods<\/strong><\/p>\n When heading to our stand or blind we may not always be paying complete attention to the noise we are making\u2014especially early in the morning when we are tired, it’s pitch black outside, and we’re eager to get set up for our hunt. A mobile hunter carrying in a stand and sticks on his back can have an even tougher time trying to walk quietly. There are a couple of solutions to this problem.<\/p>\n In The Tree<\/strong><\/p>\n When you are in your treestand there are several things that can also make noise and give your position away. Your clothing can make too much noise. This could get you busted before you draw your bow back. Your bow itself can make too much noise on the draw and shot. The platform or treestand can also creak and scrape as you move around on it. These are some ideas to stay quiet while in the tree:<\/p>\n Stay Quiet<\/strong><\/p>\n We put so much time into planning, scouting, and practicing for deer season. Painstaking efforts are undertaken to ensure our clothes are scent-free. Don’t compromise all of this planning by making a loud noise and spooking a deer. Quiet down your gear, slow down, wear quiet footwear and clothing, and pack light. These tips will help you stay stealthy in the woods this fall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As whitetail deer hunters we spend a ton of time worrying about our scent and camouflage.
