Talkin’theTalk--Avocabularylessontomake sense of the chatter about white-tailed deer

My good friend Gary Paris recently enjoyed one of the those magical afternoons in a deer stand that many hunters dream about but most are never lucky enough to experience. What’s really cool about the deal is he was hunting a tiny strip of free-ranging woods about six acres in size.

Interestingly, Paris didn’t shoot a deer. In fact, he never fired a shot or flung a single arrow. Still, he had a blast playing the game.

Perched 16 feet above ground on a lock-on platform, Paris used a grunt call to lure three different bucks well within archery range in less than 30 minutes time. Each deer came racing in with its nose to the ground and hair bristled, obviously looking for a fight.
