buck fever
I think it’s safe to say that most of us have had to deal with Buck Fever at one time or another. But as most of us know, it’s how you deal with buck fever that will decide whether or not you go home with a deer or not.
Buck Fever is the condition that comes over a Hunter when they have an opportunity to take a deer. The deer may be right beneath their tree stand or 100 yards away. For many hunters, the sight of any legal deer puts them into an uncontrollable jerky convulsions. Hitting a deer at any range under these conditions is pure luck.

With the rising cost of fuel these days, I can imagine there are a lot of deer hunters who will be looking for ways to cut their deer hunting cost. Maybe this isn’t the year you buy that new rifle or bow. Perhaps that new set of Camouflage clothes will have to wait. Or maybe you’re looking to get involved in deer hunting but it looks too expensive. I’m going to tell you that it doesn’t have to be expensive and you can get started deer hunting for less than $1000 and even less than $500 if you pick your gear correctly.

The duck is one of North America’s most commonly hunted species. Our most common duck breeds are the mallard, teal, gadwall and widgeon. Other ducks often hunted across the continent include the northern shoveler, the wood duck, the bufflehead, the ringneck and the bluebill.
