    Bob J Mercier

    Your Deer Behavior Specialist

    Bob J Mercier has studied Whitetail deer behavior since 1991. He’s been teaching his dominant buck hunting tactics across the country since 2010.

    DBS was formed in an effort to teach every fact that Bob Mercier has learned from observing Whitetail deer and studying deer behavior. Use our D.I.E. System to get close to dominant bucks at your stand sites. Use our walk-like-a-deer method to be able to walk within 35-yards of deer in daylight.

    We’ll help you gain the skills it takes to read deer sign and understand deer mannerisms like Professional Deer Behavior Specialists.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How do customers dress for private lessons?

    It is up to the customer. If deer season is on, then DBS recommends you are scent-free and dressed in camouflage from head to toe, including a mask and gloves. We go where deer go, and you do not want to get busted.

    Spring, Summer, Winter, and Fall, where the weather permits, and temperatures are between 20 degrees and 75 degrees. Exceptions can be made upon request.

    WI, IL, MN, MI, OH, IA, IN, KY, MS, MO, NY, PA, AL, AR, TN, TX, OK, NE, and others if we are asked to go there. Check our Calendar to see when we will be in your state. Call us to discuss any questions you may have about private lessons. We are here to help you.

    We can scout 10 to 60 acres in an 8 hour day, depending on how much detail our customers want us to teach them.

    No, as long as you have gotten written permission from the land owners to allow us to walk their land with you. We require that you either own, rent, or lease the land, and that you can prove it to us if we request proof. We will not trespass or go where guiding is not legal.

    Yes, where guiding on public land is legal. No, where guiding is not legal.

    After a private lesson, can I call you for pointers or to ask questions?

    Yes you may call us, but respectfully we will have to assign a fee to the time that you need to discuss your questions. We are not obligated to providing free advice after a private lesson.

    No, but we highly recommend that you understand the way deer herds operate, so you can make sense of the actions of the bucks and other deer you are sure to encounter while hunting with the Dominance Is Everything™ Deer Hunting System. Owning and reading the book is recommended but not required.

    Yes. If you have only one hour to hunt, you should set up a D.I.E. Scrape. The first deer to see it, if not the king reports it to the king, and he starts hunting you immediately after that.

    Eight Minutes. That is all it takes some people to harvest the king of the herd. We advise our clients to think about each day as a set of 15 minute time periods. The king can come in anyone of them. So ask yourself. Can I wait in this stand for 15 more minutes? If you say yes, then you can have great success using the D.I.E. Scrape System.

    Yes.
