Permits

• Throughout most of the United States, it is required that you have a hunting permit, which is assigned according to which animal you want to hunt. In some states, you need a special permit for deer hunting because of population control in the habitat. However, there are a few rural areas that allow you to hunt deer your own property without a permit, including parts of Alaska and some southeastern states. Acquiring a permit can be relatively easy, unless it is in a region that has strict regulations. In some cases you must enter your name in a lottery before the hunting season and wait to see if your name is selected. The best way to get around this minor hurdle is to rent a cabin during hunting seaons in a region that allows hunting from private property.
  
  

Gear

• What you take with you on your hunting expedition is important. You need a high-quality canvas tent to protect you from the elements, as most deer hunts take place in the late fall and winter Use neutral colors that blend in with the environment. Another item for an ideal hunt is doe pheromone, which is extracted from the sex hormones of female deer. This will attract bucks and other wildlife.
  
  

Elevation

• Some experts believe the best way to hunt deer is from an elevated stance, such as a tree stand. Tree stands can be purchased as kits and are easily assembled. They make it possible for you to sit high within the trees, concealed from the deer, while you hunt them, and tree stands also make it easier for you to see the deer and aim your weapon.
