Yeah at all times. Yeah, 25 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 4: thankfully a few cool tempts. 26 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 3: Have pushed in, uh, and we might be looking at 27 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 3: the end or at least reprieve from intense mosquitos and 28 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,839 Speaker 3: parts of the country. Yeah, you know, things are changing 29 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 3: a little bit right now, man, I kind of like it. 30 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, Man, here in Texas we've changed back 31 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 2: into the hot side of things. Yeah, sure enough. 32 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 3: If I was looking at the one week and we 33 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:53,639 Speaker 3: have like real summer tempts coming up. 34 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, like ninety six or something like that, I think, yeah, ridiculous. 35 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 2: So yeah, Casey, why are you on the other end 36 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 2: of the line and not with me? 37 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 3: Man, I'm only like four miles from here right now. 38 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 3: But yesterday more than real early, my wife had our child. 39 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 3: So I'm at home with her, caring to her and 40 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 3: the baby. So that's kind of why I'm absent, in 41 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 3: a little bit out of touch with what's going on, 42 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 3: because you know, my sleep schedule is more messed up 43 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 3: than a runt and buck, right, now, so. 44 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, but is it is. 45 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 4: It's a huge blessing. Man, everybody's healthy. 46 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 2: Indura, that's cool, man, congrats on that. Thank you very much. 47 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 5: Man. 48 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,360 Speaker 2: You know this this you know stress as you are 49 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 2: right now. Watch this. This is a stressful time of 50 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 2: year for some of the deer in the south especially, 51 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,239 Speaker 2: and I can I can speak to our neck of 52 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 2: the woods quite a bit. You know, in other places 53 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 2: in North America, a lot of other places that the 54 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:03,920 Speaker 2: white tailed deer RNG spans through the winter is you know, 55 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,639 Speaker 2: that's the most stressful period for a deer where it's 56 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 2: not a lot of the food in the landscape. They're 57 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 2: eating twigs and whatever else, and there's snow build up 58 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,360 Speaker 2: sometimes and it's cold and they're run down from the 59 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 2: rut and this and this and this right, but that 60 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 2: doesn't really happen so much in our neck of the woods. 61 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 2: I mean, if it snows here during the annual period, 62 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 2: we throw a party. Like it doesn't happen every year, 63 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 2: you know. So if we see it snowool, the kids 64 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 2: get us cool. Yeah. Oh it's raining and it's supposed 65 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 2: to get thirty tonight, you know, like we're probably gonna 66 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 2: miss school. Tomorrow morning. But you know, for us, the 67 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 2: most stressful period is pretty much right now. We're we're 68 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 2: on the back end of that period where again we're 69 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 2: getting some hot temps. This week, we've had some very 70 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 2: hot temps and we've had a long dry period and 71 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 2: it's been I mean, you can look out right now 72 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 2: outside it just looks hot and crisp, be all those 73 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 2: forbes and broad leaves of different sorts, and some of 74 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 2: the things that these deer wood would brows are really dry. 75 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 2: I mean they're almost yellow looking, and there's not a 76 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 2: whole lot of probably nutrition and probably not very they're 77 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:22,039 Speaker 2: probably not very palatable right now. So you know, the 78 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 2: deer are kind of in a period of transition between 79 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 2: having stuff that's growing and then having achorns to eat. 80 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 2: And that's kind of this period where a lot of 81 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,719 Speaker 2: the stuff that's growing on the landscape has slowed down tremendously. 82 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,159 Speaker 2: It's starting to die out because of the lack of 83 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:43,840 Speaker 2: moisture and the heat that we've seen. And it happens 84 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,599 Speaker 2: most of the time in August and carries on in 85 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 2: through September and October sometimes where we don't even see 86 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 2: cold temps or cool temps at all, hardly till November 87 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 2: sometimes so, but we'll see acorns start dropping here really soon, 88 00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 2: I would imagine, don't you think. 89 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:04,919 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know around our parts. It's weird because a 90 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 3: schue mart which is a red oak acorn, those will 91 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 3: drop early sometimes depends on the tree, so that'll be 92 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 3: some of the first ones. Sometimes it's even before archery 93 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 3: season that you see those dropping. We're still, you know, 94 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 3: probably two weeks out from the early ones on that. 95 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 3: You know, we'll have percimmons in between that. In fact, 96 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 3: my persimons are already dropping, but I think, yeah I 97 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:25,480 Speaker 3: have because of my. 98 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:26,359 Speaker 4: Real sandy soil. 99 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 3: I think my pershimons act different than other percentage and 100 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,040 Speaker 3: so like I don't know what yours are doing. I 101 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 3: know you got that one good tree, you probably saw 102 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:38,839 Speaker 3: it today, But other percentmons around are still barely pink, 103 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,279 Speaker 3: and mine are they're translucent and ready to eat a 104 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,600 Speaker 3: lot of them are. Yeah, So the deer already hitting those, 105 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,920 Speaker 3: and that kind of helps a little bit with the 106 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 3: the you know, scarce to get food. 107 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 4: Muskey dines are also dropping right now, so that helps 108 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 4: a little bit. 109 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:57,599 Speaker 3: But again not like we're talking about almost like the 110 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:01,839 Speaker 3: treats to the deer and not like a through food source, 111 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 3: you know. So it's still there's not a lot of 112 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 3: tonnage out there for deer, and so it's really tough. 113 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,360 Speaker 6: And in fact, one of the things that I think 114 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 6: a you know, a person who's being mindful about their 115 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 6: deer management, if they have a little proper dear, a 116 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:19,839 Speaker 6: big property or whatever. 117 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 5: It is. 118 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 3: Trying to supplement during this rough period, not just because 119 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 3: but of course to take care of the deer herd 120 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 3: as they go through this difficult time. But there's a 121 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,279 Speaker 3: thing going on right now that I think is pretty 122 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:40,040 Speaker 3: neat and it really doesn't usually correlate to killing deer, 123 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:44,279 Speaker 3: but it can. And that is like the redistribution of 124 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 3: bucks after they shed their velvet. You know, I'd say 125 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 3: that just a guess ninety five percent of the deer 126 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,719 Speaker 3: in ie area and probably around the country if shed 127 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,159 Speaker 3: velvet already. And if you see a buck with velvet 128 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 3: on even right now, he's allowed to be small, you know, 129 00:06:58,279 --> 00:06:59,239 Speaker 3: like a one point five. 130 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 4: And what ends up happening after the shed development. 131 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 3: They get a testosterone spike and probably some other factors 132 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 3: as well. Bucks will kind of move to a new 133 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 3: core area. I don't know if that's the right way 134 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 3: to call it or not, but I'm gonna call it 135 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 3: that way. They start using a different area sometimes sometimes 136 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 3: they'll go a long ways. And one thing that you 137 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 3: can do is make sure that your area that you 138 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 3: have to hunt has adequate resources during the shift, because 139 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 3: it almost might be the lottery right now where you 140 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 3: haven't had a buck on your property all year, and 141 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 3: all of a sudden one comes through looking for a 142 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 3: place and while I he's got food, water, and cover 143 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 3: on your property, and it's like, man, this is the 144 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 3: best habit head around or this is the best food 145 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 3: around or water or whatever it may be. So it's 146 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 3: something to not that it's gonna work, but it's always 147 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 3: good to kind of maybe, you know, kind of corner 148 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 3: of the edge on which you could have right now, 149 00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 3: and it definitely could. 150 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 4: Be a thing that could be benefits. 151 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure. You know, I've I've seen I haven't 152 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 2: seen any books redistribute to my area, but I have 153 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 2: seen where kind of proof of what we were talking 154 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 2: about earlier, where you know, I have a feeder that 155 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 2: goes off year round pretty much, and that feeder has 156 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 2: the last this morning, it had eight dose at it 157 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 2: at one time. 158 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 4: I couldn't believe it. 159 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, the night before there was twelve in one picture, man, 160 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 2: and there might have been another one or two outside 161 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 2: of the frame of the picture. 162 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:29,679 Speaker 3: Sonny. 163 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 4: I was like, is that a heard of axis? 164 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 3: Just because you know, usually whitetail aren't packed in that 165 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 3: did sleep. 166 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:36,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, they're hungry. 167 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 2: Don't tell Greg, you know what I mean?

Then after that, you 349 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 8: know that that fifth through the fifteenth or something. They 350 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 8: just say it's a weird time. Now it's a little 351 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 8: more consistency.
