Jon Gabrio: 在华盛顿州的山区狩猎白尾鹿,需要全年的侦察和对鹿群活动路线的深入了解。通过观察地图、使用追踪相机,寻找鹿群的必经之路,例如山脊和通往平地的支脉,这些地方是鹿群经常活动的地方,也是设置狩猎地点的理想位置。在选择狩猎地点时,要考虑海拔高度和天气因素,通常在3500到4000英尺之间是比较理想的海拔高度,但具体高度取决于天气情况。11月18日至28日是狩猎白尾鹿的最佳时期,这段时间是鹿群交配的高峰期,但较早的时间段更有可能捕获大型雄鹿,因为它们还没有进入交配期锁定状态。在设置狩猎地点时,要考虑风向,尤其是在山区狩猎时,风向会影响鹿群的活动路线。通常情况下,早上风会向下吹,所以应该从底部进入狩猎地点,这样风就在你的前面,而鹿群在你的上方。晚上离开时,风应该在你的背后,这样就不会惊扰到鹿群。气味控制在山地白尾鹿狩猎中非常重要,使用气味消除剂和保持个人卫生可以提高狩猎成功率,更高的树桩位置也有助于避免被鹿闻到。诱饵和吸引剂可以吸引白尾鹿,但大型雄鹿通常会保持警惕,不会直接靠近诱饵。在狩猎时,可以使用不同的鹿叫声策略,例如在繁殖季节初期使用格斗声和求偶声,在繁殖季节后期使用母鹿求偶声和公鹿求偶声,可以提高狩猎成功率。暴风雨来临前的夜晚和暴风雨期间是狩猎白尾鹿的最佳时机,因为天气变化会促使鹿群活动。总而言之,狩猎山地白尾鹿需要耐心和坚持,长时间待在狩猎点是提高成功率的关键。

Shownotes Transcript

When people think about hunting rutting whitetails, they typically think of ag land in the midwest. In this episode of Cutting the Distance, Jon Gabrio talks about hunting mountain whitetails in the state of Washington. Jon dives into scouting year round to figure these bucks out, setting stands once he has found a target buck, how he plays the wind with stand locations, and how he goes about getting a buck to walk by his stand.
