3 Tips for Effective Bee Control

  Although bees are essential in transporting the pollen that ultimately grows flowers, vegetables, and fruits, many homeowners would still prefer not seeing them hovering and buzzing around their home. Bee control can be tricky, since they fly and tend to hang around our most valuable flowers, making it difficult to use any chemical control without it affecting them as well. In some regions, bees are seen as a protected species due to their talent for honey making and spreading the pollen that helps fruits and vegetables grow.For most people, bees inspire both love and hate.

  On one hand, they are extremely helpful in aiding the growth of flowers, as well as necessary to produce honey for our tea and desserts. On the other hand, they have stingers which can be fatal if used on people or pets with severe allergies. To err on the side of caution, homeowners should understand how to kill bees around their homes through a variety of methods.Here are some ways you can exercise bee control without resorting to drastic measures or putting your treasured garden or vegetable patch at risk:1. Keep the Lawn and Yard CleanContrary to what most people think, bees don't just live in hives. Subterranean bees can live in the dirt under wood and leaf piles for optimal coverage. Keeping your lawn or backyard free of nature piles can significantly reduce the number of areas bees can build their home.

  Mowing the grass frequently also eliminates areas where bees may feel inclined to linger.2. Plant WiselyUnfortunately, bees are attracted to many things we like to plant in our gardens, such as fruit trees, vegetable crops, and beautiful flowers, as these are all the things that bees can feed off of. While this doesn't necessarily mean you have to avoid planting these items completely, it should be kept at a minimum to reduce the chance of bee hives.3. Remove the Hive and Sell ItIf you happen to stumble upon a bee hive, do not knock it off. Not because this makes the bees come out and swarm around you (and thus potentially stinging you), but because you can actually make a profit off selling the hive. Look in the phone book for a local bee removing company that can come and remove the hive safely and transport it to their farm for honey production or to sell to local farmers. This is a great way to do bee control that avoids harming either party.Despite all this, if you are set on removing the existing bees with force, consider contacting a local pest exterminator who may give you a better idea of how to get rid of bees using pest control methods that give you a better sense of how to avoid bees around your property.

Tips To Hunt the Deer in Different Forests

  It is good to know that deer will often use a different trail when they are followed or driven than the tracks from where they usually don't travels. A hunter should know such places where groups of deer pass. Most of the time hunters know feeding places which are the most favorable for the hunters one to deer. Even by using even some fruits or nuts could help to get the deer on the way. I know of one feeding area, which is used by ten or twelve different family groups of deer. This is an area of fields bounded on three sides by extensive woods and is the nearest area of this type of food for the deer, which utilize these woods as their range. All deer located in the area north of these fields (usually four groups) use a trail that crosses a brook, in order to get to the fields from the wooded section of their range.

  On their return to the woods, they separate and some of the groups use a trail which crosses the brook about three hundred yards east of the first-mentioned crossing, while the others use a trail located nearly a half-mile to the west of the same crossing. The first trail would be an ideal place to watch in the late afternoon, yet would be totally unproductive in the early morning when the deer were returning by different routes. All three of these crossings are equally obvious to an experienced hunter, but unless the man knew of the habits of these deer, he could spend considerable time in watching any one of these places at the wrong time of day. Deer will often use a different trail when they are followed or driven than the one, which they utilize while traveling unmolested. I have known of deer using all three of the above-mentioned trails in both directions, when men or dogs frightened them.Feeding areas are probably the most productive places for a hunter to wait for deer.

  Patches of beech and oak trees, apple orchards, and clover patches or similar green vegetation are usually the more productive of these feeding areas, but any place where deer are known to feed may be watched with some chance of success. As a rule, individual groups of deer do not visit the same feeding area on successive nights, but move around their range with fair regularity, so that they return to a feeding area on every second, third or fourth night. If there are several of these groups in the area, each feeding place might be visited by different deer on each successive night. Some of these feeding areas are visited by deer quite early in the afternoon, while others are not visited until after dark. This difference is caused to a great extent by the distance between the feeding area and the bedding area and by the nature of the cover adjacent to the feeding area. The amount of moonlight also affects the feeding time of the deer.I know of an orchard which the deer visit almost every night during the fall and early winter. It is in sight of my former home where I had the opportunity to watch this spot from a distance.

  I have never seen a deer in that orchard in the daytime. I also know of a single apple tree which stands less than a half-mile from that orchard and I have seen and shot deer under this tree before sundown. The single tree is near the woods, which means safety, while it is necessary for deer to cross about two hundred yards of open country in order to reach the orchard. Naturally they wait for darkness before crossing this open area.The shooting of deer from an automobile is forbidden in most states, but the practice of driving along the roads until a deer is sighted, stopping the car, stepping to the side of the road and shooting at it is a common practice in many places. Deer are not particularly afraid of automobiles and these road hunters can usually drive quite near the animals without alarming them. In some sections where hunting is heavy, the act of stopping a car will cause the deer to retreat to safety in the woods, so it is often better to chance a long shot than to risk alarming the deer by a too close approach.You can try out on some of the tricks here according to your conditions while hunting. But remember always that shooting of deer from an automobile is forbidden in most states. Try to be on the safer sides of the law and avoids as such trouble as possible to have good hunting game and enjoying them.

Tips on Hunting Deer from the Vehicles

  Let us look at some of the other methods of hunting which could help you to hunt better next time. Driving the deer by large groups is one such method, which has been quite popular and successful. But this has become illegal in Maine. So know that it is illegal to hunt in-group in Maine. The driving of deer by large groups has always been popular and successful, but numerous objections to this method of hunting have caused the Maine Legislature to pass laws limiting the number of hunters participating in such a hunt. The object of the drive is for one group of hunters to drive the deer out of a particular piece of woods, or section of country, into the range of another group waiting to shoot them. In order to be successful, there should be enough drivers so that the area to be hunted, will be covered from side to side by men who are near enough together so that there will be little chance of failure to move the deer and prevent their cutting back.

  The watchers should be posted so as to cover all probable escape routes, which the deer might be expected to use while fleeing from the drivers. It is obvious that it would require a small army of hunters in order to make a perfect drive in any sizeable piece of woods. Since these large groups are illegal, those hunters who care to hunt in this manner must substitute knowledge for numbers.Three men can drive quite a large piece of woods if they do not attempt to drive the deer in a direction other than they wish to travel, but try to nudge them along their natural course. Two men on watch can usually cover the most probable escape routes if the deer are not too much alarmed by their pursuers. Two more men may be added to the drivers, if they are available, and they will add to the ground that may be covered. Driving by a group of this size is legal in Maine at the present time.Excessive noise made by these large groups was responsible for a part of the public objection to this type of hunting. The object of this noise was to panic the deer so that they would run blindly instead of using strategy to avoid the drivers.

  This system might be successful in driving the true wilderness deer, but deer which have lived for years in constant contact with humans are not as easily panicked and the noise of the drivers gives them ample warning of the hunters' intentions and an accurate picture of their location. These deer might be panicked momentarily, but this initial fright would not cause them to leave any large piece of woods before they have recovered and evaluated the situation. Their accurate knowledge of the drivers' positions will enable them to circle the outside drivers or permit them to run between these men. Sometimes they are able to pick the probable course of these drivers so that they may remain perfectly motionless in some small thicket and permit the noisy drivers to pass on each side of them.The only real need for noise by these drivers is to keep them in line, also to keep them in touch with each other in the event a deer should try to pass between them, reducing the chance of hitting a companion while shooting at the deer. The center man on a drive should announce his position periodically so that others may adjust their position in relation to his location.

  In case one of the men jumps a deer, the entire line should shift so that the center of the line is on the deer's course while the others are in a position to shoot or turn the deer if it should attempt to pass between them. These outside men should be quiet because nothing will turn a deer any quicker than for it to encounter an unexpected danger while it is trying to avoid a known one.The success or failure of this type of hunting depends on the participant's knowledge of the wood and of the probable course which the deer will take when startled. The best way to obtain this knowledge is for the hunters to drive deer in an area until they are able to discern a definite pattern of action which may be a guide to future drives. This holds true in any type of hunting. The man that does not correct the mistakes which are learned from experience will never become a very successful hunter.

Spot and Stalk Deer Hunting How to Master the Biggest Thrill of Hunting 02

   Many are nocturnal by the time deer season starts, and you will have to find them in their beds. This can be tough as a deer can blend in to its surroundings very easily. If you have not found a deer that meets you minimum requirement to put a stalk on before they bed down, do not be discouraged. Most deer, including bucks will get up, stretch, nibble on some nearby plants, or just get up to reposition themselves out of the sun. I have found many bucks that I have put stalks on in the heat of the day.   Other areas that deer like to bed down are amongst boulders and under cliff faces where they can find shelter from the sun and avoid cougars and other predators. Anywhere you see shade is a possible bedding area, especially early season when it is hot.

   Even once the temperatures get colder in the fall deer will still seek shade as their coats thicken up.  Stalking Deer Putting the final stock on a deer is the most exciting part of spot and stalk deer hunting. The object is getting as close as possible without the deer detecting you. This is the part where rifle spot and stalk and archery spot and stalk deer hunting differ a lot. Of course, many times, a deer will position its self in an area where it can only be seen within range at 50 yards. I have had several situations where I could spot bucks from 800 - 1000 yards away, but could not see them on the final stock until I was within 20 or less yards.  Wind: The best defense a deer has is his ability to smell. One molecule of human scent will make a bedded down deer turning into a running deer instantly, typically not giving the hunter anytime for a standing still shot. For this reason, you have to play the wind more than anything else.

   When spot and stalking deer, wind can be your worst enemy or your best friend, it is all about how you play it. Wind, especially a decent wind can help to cover up the sound of a hunter stalking within range of a deer. Also, wind can be used to take your scent away from a deer. You can get 10 yards away, and as long as there is a decent breeze blowing your scent away from the deer, you can remain undetected to the nose of a very smart deer. Regardless of the weapon you are using, you will need to use the wind to your advantage, especially with a bow or other close range weapon in your hand. Many times while spot and stalk deer hunting it is necessary to make the final stalk until the wind is right, especially while bow hunting. I have had to watch deer for hours until the wind changed before I could put on a stalk and typically I have been glad I waited. I have also blown plenty of archery stocks because I did not wait for the wind to change and stabilize, but then after the stalk was a bust, the wind picked up and stabilized.
