Deer hunting strategies vary across the country. Chris and Casey Keefer are used to hunting whitetail in the Midwest…but January hunting in Texas looks a heck of a lot different.
In their home state of Michigan, the redbearded brothers wear layers of clothing to combat the cold. Hats. Sweatshirts. Coats. It’s a necessary, bottom line. The crunchy snow and dipping temperatures add another obstacle—the cold, for example, can impact how long you can handle the sit—and must be taken into consideration when preparing for the hunt.
Of course, whitetail hunters in the southern regions like Texas do not deal with those bitter cold temps quite as often. But they DO have other factors to consider.
In Texas, ‘deer’ hunters may cross paths with feral pigs, which are a huge problem in the Lone Star state. With the largest wild hog population in the country, Texas land owners routinely deal with significant damage to land and the environment. Hogs can be hunted all year long. With a whitetail license and a hog license, you can be on the lookout for two types of game…which can be exciting, but can also be distracting. A bunch of hogs could help you take your eye of the prize of a big brute walking by your spot.
There’s one thing that can remain the same for every deer hunter, regardless of the region: Winchester Deer Season XP ammunition. It is specifically designed to penetrate the animal’s hide and is made for deer hunters. The Extreme Point bullet features an oversized impact diameter, which means devastating trauma, high energy transfer and larger wound cavities for faster knockdown. The bullet has a tapered jacket for lethal penetration, a streamlined ballistic profile for flat trajectory, energy retention and supreme accuracy.
Whitetail hunting is a favorite past time for millions of people across the country…and Winchester has been the trusted tool that delivers the ultimate reliability…no matter where. No matter when.
