In some cases, Native Americans would clear a large field, leaving the area surrounding it heavily forested. They would then enter the forested area and wave lit torches to frighten the animals into the open field. There, they would have a much easier time slaying the defenseless creatures.
Since deer were hunted in many different ways in many parts of the Americas it is impossible to give a complete answer.
Adena hunters in the Ohio country (around 300 BC) may have dressed in deerskins and made caps with deer antlers attached to disguise themselves, so they could approach close to the deer herds. They used atlatls (spear-throwers) to hurl stone-tipped spears at the animals.
The Maya used a "surround" method with hunters forming a semicircle around an area where deer were grazing; other men with hunting dogs would drive the deer towards this line and the deer would be shot with arrows.
Tribes of the north-eastern USA and Canada obtained guns at an early date from white Europeans and these were used to great effect in hunting deer.
