Want to preserve your trophy buck? Follow our tips and protect your prizewinner long after it leaves the taxidermist. To remove dust and cobwebs, reverse your vacuum’s suction, and blow air along the animal’s hair pattern—not against it. Use liquid wood cleaner to polish antlers, and clean hair with a soft rag dampened with Windex. Place your trophy in a location away from direct sunlight and heat to prevent dry out and discoloration. For more advice on caring for your buck, read the full story at SummitStands.com.
Avid hunters know that opportunities for tagging impressive whitetail don’t come often. Bring deer to your property year-round to increase your chances of getting the big bucks during regular season. Deer seek water and food sources, so adding a watering hole and a variety of plants to your property is a good strategy for keeping them out of your neighbor’s yard. Create wooded sanctuaries where deer hide during weeks of intense hunting pressure—bucks will feel safe, and you’ll have an advantage over them.

Hunting during early season presents many challenges, but using the right strategies can make this time of year fruitful for avid hunters.
