Deer dealing with fences

Plants to avoid this summer in Québec
A deer hunter is the first to walk in the forest to prepare its fall hunt. Deer hunting is generally prepared early in the summer. There are plants that hunters should beware.
Giant hogweed
When this plant is handled, there is a risk to contact with the sap that contains a toxin that can cause severe burns. The skin becomes red and fluid-filled blisters appear. Although it is not present in large number in Québec, you still have to know it exists.

The ThermaCELL gadget as shown on the picture below is sold by many larges stores (Home Dépôt,Canadian Tire and Walmart) in the Montréal region. But you can find it a lot cheaper elsewhere.

The little things that we forget
Ha ! These little things
This article will remind you about these little things that can ruin a hunt. Things that we do not think about very often, but of great importance.
Quite often the result of a deer hunt can be summarized in one word: patience. Since I started bowhunting, the hardest thing to learn was to wait for the best time to shoot. I can not count how many times I had to wait, quietly and without moving, for the deer to walk these last steps before I could have a direct view to its vital organs.
I still remember each of these opportunities as the most exciting moments of all my hunts. I also remember those moments of inattention that I scared the deer away.
Pay attention to little things
I have seen several deer disappear from my view because they felt that something was wrong in their immediate environment.
A few years ago I was hunting near a railroad. At some point I had 4 deer in front of me, with 2 of them being 8 pointers. Then suddently the train started to move backwards and the back of the train moved to about 100 meters(100 yards) from me. By slowing down the train emitted a loud noise that scared the deer away.
A year later a doe and its 2 fawns were coming closer to me, when the doe stopped suddenly. Then she found something close to a tree and she took off quickly followed by her fawns.
I came down from my treestand hours later, to try to find out what had driven them away. Surprise! There was a hunting glove on the ground. A glove that I lost some 3 months ago during a survey of my territory.
It is these little things that can ruin a deer hunt.

I am a ''hunter'' !
The need to hunt
Hunting is my way to simply exist, my way of life, my way of saying who I am. I am a hunter !
The need to hunt is buried deep inside. The joy of hunting is huge and irresistible. When I hunt, I feel alive, I feel I am a part of the earth, I am a part of nature, I am a part of life itself.
Hunting is a part of who I am.
