What is the terrain like where you are hunting? Do you have the ability to scout the area and try to see the deer and how they behave?

 

[dnwn154]

Are you hunting with a rifle or archery? Which ever you are hunting with, what is your effective range?

Not too many water deer experts around here, but let us know how it goes.

Knowing nothing about water deer, I'd find sign and set up down wind.

Like LCH is saying, the most important thing for you will be keeping the wind in your face. Scent is the quickest give away to animals. Are you going to be on the ground or in a tree stand?

cant really understand english, so plz check i got right idea from you. so i need to make wind always keep coming from front??
i think i will stay in ground. hard to find good tree for tree stand here. maybe i should dig a ground and stay there?

The wind should always be blowing into your face.

You could try stalking them, or set up on paths they use.

Do the feed and sleep in different areas?

ok thank you! they alway use same way, so i think i will set up.

i can stay in same area. but if thats not recommended, i will separate hunt and sleep feed areas

Keeptrying was asking if the deer feed and sleep in the same area. If you are camping out you should be staying quite a ways from where you plan to hunt.

If you know the route that they travel regularly you should find a spot to ambush them along that route if you can. Try keep the wind in your face as was mentioned and concealed yourself in some sort of blind like these https://www.cabelas.com/category/Ground-Blinds-Accessories/104365080.uts or you can use the plant material in the area to create your own like this http://wwocz.net/jim-reviving-the-lost-art-of-the-brush-blind/
