Deer Hunting
Deer hunting has taken place all over the world for thousands of years. It helps curb overpopulation of the animal, which is a problem in the United States. Deer overpopulation can lead disease and food shortage. It is also dangerous for drivers. Most deer do not reach their adult potential due to getting hit by automobiles.
East of the Rocky Mountains, the white-tailed deer is the most commonly hunted in North America. The mule deer is the dominant deer species west of the Rockies. Blacktail deer are prevalent on the west coast.
There are five main methods of deer hunting. Stalking, perhaps the most often used, is when hunters slowly walk along trails looking for deer. Stand hunting is when shooters wait where deer are likely to travel. Still hunting involves both hiding and walking quietly until the deer is in sight. Line drive hunting involves flushing deer toward a line of shooters. In spot and stalk hunting is a method most used in large, open areas. It's when a hunter finds the game and then follows it until there is a clear shot.
