During the past month, I asked the Deer Hunting forum here at Nodak Outdoors to share some of their offseason deer hunting tips. While many you may already practice or be aware of, our community had some deer hunting tips to share.
Deer Hunting Tips

“Scout, Shed hunting, Scout, Repair or build new stands, Do some scouting, Plant food plots. Shoot, and do some more scouting!” – dblkluk
“Shoot your rifle, A minumum of 50 rounds. Better yet, start reloading and shoot at least a couple of hundred rounds” – zogman
“Prarie dog shooting. Lots of targets, helps on your range estimating, and you can shoot from dif positions, uphill, downhill, cross wind, ect. You can also take your time and learn to control your shot. Take some freinds or the kids. Great way to keep sharp.” – faithsdave
“I shoot PD and take the big gun out and try some shots with it. I usually do not fire very many at them but it is more fun to shoot at them off hand than paper. I also shoot Service rifle competition. That is good help for off hand. Then at the house I practice bringing up the gun and sighting at something. Fast is slow and slow is fast. Eventually you will get fast and accurate. Then go to the range and try it out on some targets at 50 to 100 and see what happens. ” – People
“…go around to cattle/sheep/pig farms near you, give the farmer a card with your name, and tell him that should the need arise for someone to take care of a coyote/fox/crow/beaver/prarie dog problem, that you’re the person for the job. ” – Cleankill47
“Stomp around in the woods. Look at old trails, rubs, scrapes, set up motion cameras. Figure out the trails where the deer came from the previous years.” – BuckBox Displays
“Scout, try to go to the rifle range at least once a week, and try to shoot my bow everyday. Also this is the time of year to make farmer/land owner contacts… offer help ect. not a week before hunting season.” – fishless
“Plant some food plots if you have the land/resources.” – headhunter
“Make your self a ghillie suit. – BandHunter
