I don't know about you but for me, the best feeling ever of a bowhunter is to know that I have done everything I could to maximize my rewards or reach my targets. Think about it, while many hunters out there throw chance into the wind. However, I'm here confidently standing in blind or tree, waiting for my targets coming, no matter it's sooner or later, but I'm sure they'll come. As I have crafted my property into a perfect deer hunting paradise. To have such thrilling feeling, firstly, you need to know how to attract deer.
Before getting started, you must know what you need to do. To get it, let's take a quick biology lesson. We all know that deer, in particular, saying and any animals in generally need three basic things to survive. They are food, water, and cover. To attract deer to come into your property, you must create an ideal place that meets all their needs. Otherwise, deer maybe come to your area, but they'll leave soon to find the missing piece. Like us, if you live in a house, even it's beautiful but it lacks of the water source, will you stay there until the end of your life?
To provide all basic needs of deer, there are actually many ways but in this article, my aim is long-term goals so that I'll show you the best way to prepare for the deer hunting season coming to your area. Let's get started!
First thing first, it's food source. I can bet 10 dollars that you will receive the same answer when asking any deer hunters how to improve your property for deer. Though water is maybe more important than food, it provides a huge number of calories and energies for a deer herb.
The key to attracting deer to your area through food plots is to grow the plant species that the surrounding areas are lacking. I mean, if your neighborhoods are corn farm, think about planting late-season brassica mix so that deer will come into your land when the corns are all harvested.
My second key on how to attract deer by using food plots is to plant many species. The more diversity of the food plots, there will be more chances to entice deer. Why? Because if there are one species that doesn't develop already, you still have other plants to attract deer. You can grow a particular plant in each plot or mix them together.
Water is quite easy to add to your land. Deer or any kind of animals require a particular amount of water to survive all year round. Their water demand will increase in hot seasons or dry fall.
Nothing is better than your property has natural water source like a pond, lake, stream or river. But if it doesn't have, you can add many small water sources around your land. The more the better because deer won't have to go a long distance to find a place to drink as well as feel comfortable to use them.
To make waterholes, you can bury 55-gallon barrels cut in a half lengthwise deep into the soil to collect raindrops for deer to use. Sooner, you can update to 110-gallon tanks so that they can hold more water in a long time. 200 Gallons tanks are not a bad idea, it just asks more digging. After the waterholes are done, place a sturdy stick into them so that small animals can climb out if they accidentally fall into it.
If you want to invest more, you can use a backhoe to make a large pond for deer. It will look more natural. But in my personal experience, deer won't mind whether it's natural or artificial water source, what they care about is something to drink and survive. That's it!
In summer or dried days during deer hunting season, these water spots will become perfect blinds for you to hunt.
Apart from water and food plots, if your property doesn't have any adequate cover then almost deer won't think it is their home. An adequate cover here includes both security cover and bedding cover.
Sound funny, right? You create your property to attract deer for hunting, but now, you need to make security cover for them to hide from predators, including you. However, if there's no security cover, deer might wander on your property at night to steal food, they won't stay there.
Ideal security covers are habitats that deer can move safely between the feeding areas and the bedding covers. A typical one maybe has a thick alder swamp, a dense young conifer plantation or blowdown area.
About the bedding area, it's usually a place where deer can have a rest safely that predators can't approach. Typically, they have native warm-season grass fields, edges of dense shrub thickets or locate in on south-facing ridges.
One thing you should take notice on how to attract deer is to fix all open areas. In our human opinions, these places might become ideal spots to bow hunt, or even look beautiful. However, on the contrary, deer think these areas are dangerous because predators can detect them, which is risky.
To create perfect bedding covers, choose those spots that can have a good view to open area but point away from the prevailing winds or places that are on top of a rise with a view so that deer can sit there to both see anything in front and smell predators from behind them.
Make these bedding covers as natural as possible. You can cut half of a tree and let it fall down. It will develop in couple years later to create thick growth. But the best thing is just to leave it alone. Surely it requires you to come and maintain, but just do it in a few years.
Now deer have everything they need within your land. One sure thing that they will come into your area whether sooner or later. Just keep calm and wait. Good luck!

How to fix Toronto's 'broken' city council in four not-so-easy steps
Jeff GrayQueen's Park Reporter
The council chamber at Toronto City Hall is a quiet place – when it's empty. Council voted this week to add three more seats to address the city's population growth.Fred Lum/The Globe and Mail
Despite critics who think Toronto City Council is already too big to manage, local politicians voted this week to add three councillors to its existing 44 to reflect the city's population growth over the past decade.
A slightly bigger herd of cats, some worry, will only make matters worse.
Budget chief Gary Crawford called the city's governance structure "broken." Even after the Ford era, council is routinely described as dysfunctional, with its marathon meetings and the colourful antics of some of its members.
Others say Toronto council looks so messy only because so much of its business is done in the open, and not behind closed doors.
A new effort is under way to try to smooth some of council's rough edges. Gabriel Eidelman, an assistant professor at the University of Toronto's School of Public Policy and Governance, has convened an informal task force made up of former city managers Shirley Hoy and Joe Pennachetti, former city councillors David Soknacki and John Parker, open-data advocate Bianca Wylie, former city hall staffers and other external experts.
The goal is to come up with reforms that council could bring in on its own, without changes to provincial legislation.
Prof. Eidelman says the initiative was born after students he sent to observe city council returned to class to describe it as "crazy" and "like grade school." The task force meets, in public, at U of T next week, the first of three meetings before it is to come up with a final report in April. Here are a few ideas on the table:
Don't sweat the small stuff
City council found time this week, amid debates over billions in spending on transit projects, to battle over the fate of one single tree in North York.
A decade ago, council approved reforms aimed at delegating some purely local decisions – such as speed humps or stop signs on side streets – to "community councils." (These committees are made up of local councillors and loosely based on the boundaries of Toronto's pre-amalgamation municipalities.) But many decisions can still be second-guessed at full council, helping to push lengthy meetings long after dark.
"Late at night, we're waving through multimillion-dollar developments in a few minutes, but we spend hours on a 40-centimetre-diameter tree," Etobicoke Councillor Stephen Holyday says. "There has to be a better way."
What are councillors for?
Mr. Parker, who also served as a Progressive Conservative MPP under premier Mike Harris in the 1990s, says it's time to reconsider the very role of a city councillor. Are they primarily ward heelers, who must champion every constituent's complaint about untrimmed shrubbery and the like? Or are they policy-makers for an entity bigger than most provinces, with a $10-billion operating budget?
"We have to decide whether members of council are legislators or ombudsmen," Mr. Parker says, arguing that MPPs do not interfere with provincial civil servants the way councillors routinely stick their fingers into city staff matters. "You would not go to somebody in some [provincial] department and tell them to fix your pothole."
Hurry up
Part of council's problem is a set of procedural rules better suited to smaller municipalities. For example, Toronto's council, which must decide on hundreds of matters each month ranging from 80-storey development applications to bars asking for patio liquor licences, spends a half-hour or more each morning going through the agenda. Councillors, flipping through printed pages, are asked which items they wish to hold for debate.
Prof. Eidelman says there must be a way to do more of this in advance. Other tinkering could include a crackdown on similar time wasters: Members' walk-on motions could be restricted to truly urgent matters. And questions of senior city officials – such as the chief planner, department heads, the fire chief – could be better policed so that councillors do not ask purely rhetorical questions, or for answers contained in reports they should have already read.
Super-councillors
As council voted to add three wards this week, it cast aside motions to elect just 26 councillors instead. And it also swatted away an idea from Mr. Holyday that would have paired a 26-member council with a powerful 12-member board of control, with controllers elected at large (three from each of the city's four districts) and responsible, along with the mayor, for all big citywide decisions, including the financial ones. The idea would certainly solve the oversized council problem. But it could create new ones.
Toronto abandoned such a system in 1969, while the other pre-amalgamation cities hung onto their boards of control for much longer. Critics called them undemocratic for centralizing power. Their revival is highly unlikely.

Pablo Luna Carné (Alhama de Aragón, 21 mei 1879 – Madrid, 28 januari 1942) was een Spaans componist.

Levensloop
Zijn eerste muzieklessen solfège kreeg Luna Carné bij de organist van de parochiekerk in zijn geboorteplaats. Zijn vader Pablo Luna Ferrer, die een functie bij de Guardia Civil had, vertrok met zijn familie naar een stad aan de Ebro. Zijn zoon studeerde viool bij Teodoro Ballo en harmonie en compositie bij Miguel Arnaudas. Als violist trad hij op in hotels, cafés, bioscopen en kerken en met een klein kamerorkest ook in theaters.

In 1903 schreef hij zijn eerste zarzuela Lolilla, la Petenera en 1904 volgde La Escalera de los Duendes.

Hij huwde met de Catalaanse zangeres Dolores Montaña.

In 1905 vertrok hij naar Madrid om de wereld van de zarzuela beter kennen te leren en bijzonder met Ruperto Chapi y Lorenta, de tweede dirigent van het Teatro de la Zarzuela, met Tomás Barrera Saavedra de latere dirigent van het orkest, met Jerónimo Giménez y Bellido en andere. Zo werd hij ook met de librettist Luis Pascual Frutos bekend, die voor hem het libretto voor zijn operette Mussetta schreef, die in 1908 met succes in première ging. De operette werd gevolgd door een groot aantal andere toneelwerken.

In Zaragoza ging zijn zarzuela Molinos de viento op 11 maart 1911 met groot succes in première. In maart 1925 werd in Zaragoza ook een groot huldeconcert voor Luna Carné georganiseerd en hem werd de gouden medaille van de stad toegekend.

Hij schreef ook zelf libretto's onder het pseudoniem García Sandoval.
