WEBVTT - Ep. 686: Foundations - Bachelorette Groups

0:00:01.280 --> 0:00:05.120
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to the Wired to Hunt Foundations podcast, your guide

0:00:05.120 --> 0:00:08.920
<v Speaker 1>to the fundamentals of better deer hunting, presented by first Light,

0:00:09.240 --> 0:00:13.600
<v Speaker 1>creating proven versatile hunting apparel for the stand, saddle or blind.

0:00:14.120 --> 0:00:18.680
<v Speaker 1>First Light Go Farther, Stay Longer, and now your host

0:00:19.040 --> 0:00:19.919
<v Speaker 1>Tony Peterson.

0:00:20.800 --> 0:00:23.599
<v Speaker 2>Hey everyone, welcome to the wire to Hunt Foundation's podcast,

0:00:23.640 --> 0:00:25.680
<v Speaker 2>which is brought to you by first Light. I'm your host,

0:00:25.680 --> 0:00:28.640
<v Speaker 2>Tony Peterson, and today's episode is all about why learning

0:00:28.680 --> 0:00:41.879
<v Speaker 2>what does do helps you kill bucks. They get no

0:00:42.040 --> 0:00:44.680
<v Speaker 2>love and it drives me nuts. I honestly think that

0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:47.080
<v Speaker 2>if those were as rare as mature bucks, they'd be

0:00:47.120 --> 0:00:49.800
<v Speaker 2>harder to kill the mature bucks. I know people will

0:00:49.840 --> 0:00:53.720
<v Speaker 2>laugh at that because it's situational like olive hunting. In

0:00:53.760 --> 0:00:56.520
<v Speaker 2>some places, killing does is as easy as picking an

0:00:56.520 --> 0:00:59.120
<v Speaker 2>evening to go sit on the food and then shooting one.

0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:02.880
<v Speaker 2>But in some places, killing a good buck is like

0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:07.080
<v Speaker 2>that too. In others lots of others, killing a dough

0:01:07.200 --> 0:01:09.400
<v Speaker 2>is as tough as any deer hunting challenge out there

0:01:09.720 --> 0:01:12.880
<v Speaker 2>are pretty damn clothes, But it's more than that. The

0:01:12.959 --> 0:01:14.800
<v Speaker 2>ladies of the deer herd can teach us a lot.

0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:17.200
<v Speaker 2>If we were willing to pay attention to them. And

0:01:17.200 --> 0:01:22.920
<v Speaker 2>that's what I'm really going to dive into this week.

0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:31.440
<v Speaker 2>I know you guys and gals think I'm super clever

0:01:32.120 --> 0:01:34.479
<v Speaker 2>at coming up with all this stuff on my own,

0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:38.319
<v Speaker 2>but sometimes someone around me will say something and that's

0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:39.880
<v Speaker 2>all I need to come up with an article or

0:01:39.880 --> 0:01:42.800
<v Speaker 2>a podcast. My kids do this to me fairly often.

0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:46.200
<v Speaker 2>I'll give you a couple examples. When my girls were

0:01:46.240 --> 0:01:48.680
<v Speaker 2>maybe six, I was cleaning out a wood duck house

0:01:48.680 --> 0:01:52.000
<v Speaker 2>in our backyard that hangs over our little pond. This

0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:54.720
<v Speaker 2>task involves getting up on a ladder, sweeping out the

0:01:54.720 --> 0:01:58.000
<v Speaker 2>old wood shavings, and refilling the box sometime in the

0:01:58.040 --> 0:02:02.280
<v Speaker 2>early spring. Often there's evidence of other critters using the

0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:05.960
<v Speaker 2>nesting box. At some point, a pair of gray squirrels

0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:08.600
<v Speaker 2>had had some babies in the duck apartment, but it

0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:11.040
<v Speaker 2>was clear that they had moved out. They had also

0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:14.160
<v Speaker 2>abandoned one of their youngsters, who was really dead and

0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:18.040
<v Speaker 2>really fascinating to my daughter. So we talked about squirrels,

0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:21.200
<v Speaker 2>all kinds of them, including pine squirrels and gray squirrels

0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:24.200
<v Speaker 2>and fox squirrels and even flying squirrels, which really caught

0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:28.520
<v Speaker 2>her attention. Later long after I had forgotten about the conversation,

0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:31.840
<v Speaker 2>I heard my daughter excitedly telling my wife about her conversation,

0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:34.959
<v Speaker 2>and at some point she said, there were flying dead

0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:38.480
<v Speaker 2>squirrels in there. Now, flying dead squirrels will be the

0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:41.960
<v Speaker 2>name of the parenting book I'll eventually write. My other daughter,

0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:44.680
<v Speaker 2>the one who casually blurted out that she could actually

0:02:44.760 --> 0:02:47.079
<v Speaker 2>smell the blood inside of me when we were driving

0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:50.080
<v Speaker 2>one time, said something else that I'll make into some

0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:53.120
<v Speaker 2>kind of content. At some point, she, along with her

0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:56.280
<v Speaker 2>sister and cousins, had been working hard on a ford

0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:59.440
<v Speaker 2>up at the lake. They scrounged up a couple of tarps,

0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:02.519
<v Speaker 2>some old chair cushions, and other sorted crap that just

0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:05.680
<v Speaker 2>seems to slowly accumulate in life. They're pretty into this

0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:09.200
<v Speaker 2>whole fort building thing, so into it that they talked

0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:11.080
<v Speaker 2>to my sister in law to taking them shopping for

0:03:11.120 --> 0:03:14.480
<v Speaker 2>supplies recently. And when I asked my daughter what they bought,

0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:18.760
<v Speaker 2>she quickly replied, hmmm, just fort snacks and fly traps.

0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:22.320
<v Speaker 2>Fort snacks and fly traps will be the inspiration for

0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:26.240
<v Speaker 2>something eventually, probably a podcast or an article, or maybe

0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:28.520
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, I'll start a punk band who knows

0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:32.440
<v Speaker 2>the thing is when you do what I do. Inspiration

0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:35.040
<v Speaker 2>is everywhere if you learn to look for it. Mark

0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:38.240
<v Speaker 2>hasn't really figured that out yet, but he's young and

0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:41.880
<v Speaker 2>we'll probably get there eventually as his slightly older and

0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:45.720
<v Speaker 2>much much wiser mentor I've learned to keep my ears

0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:48.600
<v Speaker 2>open for any such utterance that might light a spark

0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:52.680
<v Speaker 2>of an idea. This is what happened earlier this month

0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:54.920
<v Speaker 2>when I was packing up my spotting scope and my

0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:58.680
<v Speaker 2>camera gear on the edge of a beanfield in southeastern Minnesota.

0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:02.640
<v Speaker 2>My hunting partner Eric and I had posted up on

0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:04.080
<v Speaker 2>the edge to see if we could turn up a

0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:09.000
<v Speaker 2>bachelor group of big bucks. What we saw instead was

0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:12.280
<v Speaker 2>a few scrappers and a lot of does and fawns, which,

0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:14.920
<v Speaker 2>to our sadness, is what our cameras on that property

0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:18.640
<v Speaker 2>had been consistently showing us. As we walked out, we

0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:21.839
<v Speaker 2>pondered where the big boys might be, and Eric casually

0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:27.080
<v Speaker 2>said they definitely aren't hanging with a bachelorette group. There

0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:30.839
<v Speaker 2>you have it, a podcast is born. While he was

0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:34.520
<v Speaker 2>making a joke, he was also making a true observation, which,

0:04:34.560 --> 0:04:37.120
<v Speaker 2>if you really think about it, is the cornerstone of

0:04:37.440 --> 0:04:40.200
<v Speaker 2>so many good jokes, kind of like one of my

0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:43.040
<v Speaker 2>favorite lines in The Crossing, which is a book by

0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:48.920
<v Speaker 2>Cormack McCarthy that you should read because it's well pretty incredible. Anyway,

0:04:49.279 --> 0:04:51.320
<v Speaker 2>one of the characters in the book says something like

0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:54.200
<v Speaker 2>it would take one hell of a wife to beat

0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:56.839
<v Speaker 2>no wife at all, which, while it's one of my

0:04:56.920 --> 0:05:00.400
<v Speaker 2>favorite jokes, my wife actually doesn't think is very funny.

0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:03.599
<v Speaker 2>But you guys can probably also tell that my wife

0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:07.240
<v Speaker 2>never listens to any of my podcasts. The thing about

0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:12.120
<v Speaker 2>the Bachelorette group comment is this, the doze and bucks

0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:15.640
<v Speaker 2>often don't hang together much. This is true in the

0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:17.760
<v Speaker 2>world of white tails, it's true in the world of

0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:20.400
<v Speaker 2>elk antalope, meal deer, and you see it all the

0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:25.039
<v Speaker 2>time with turkeys. I wonder if it happens with fish. Now.

0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:27.760
<v Speaker 2>I know that all the critters will mix at some point,

0:05:27.800 --> 0:05:31.080
<v Speaker 2>otherwise we wouldn't have new little critters running around. But

0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:35.480
<v Speaker 2>nature often segregates itself in such a way, and there's

0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:36.680
<v Speaker 2>a lot to learn from that.

0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:37.920
<v Speaker 1>Hell.

0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:41.680
<v Speaker 2>Take dose, for example. I've already mentioned this, but I

0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:45.679
<v Speaker 2>believe it. If you can go kill pressure doze, mature

0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:48.640
<v Speaker 2>pressure dose, I should say, with I don't know, some

0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:53.840
<v Speaker 2>level of consistency, you can kill mature pressure bucks. I

0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:57.240
<v Speaker 2>know that doesn't seem true, but it is. If you're

0:05:57.279 --> 0:05:59.800
<v Speaker 2>good enough to learn the ladies and their habits and

0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:03.120
<v Speaker 2>of their detection at most times of the season, you

0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:06.599
<v Speaker 2>can do the same with their elderly boyfriends. The only

0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:11.080
<v Speaker 2>difference is that the elderly boyfriends aren't very common. It's

0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:13.760
<v Speaker 2>kind of like this. A lot of hunters with some

0:06:13.839 --> 0:06:16.760
<v Speaker 2>Western experience and a lot of hunters with no Western

0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:20.040
<v Speaker 2>experience would rank elk as the toughest critter to get

0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:23.960
<v Speaker 2>an arrow in on public land now in Colorado or

0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:26.760
<v Speaker 2>Idaho and an over the countertype unit. You can make

0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:29.839
<v Speaker 2>a pretty strong case for that. But what about on

0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:32.320
<v Speaker 2>a twelve thousand dollars landowner tag in New Mexico that

0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:36.840
<v Speaker 2>you're using on public land? Different story there. The variables

0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:39.520
<v Speaker 2>are endless, so generalizing is often a good way to

0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:42.680
<v Speaker 2>be wrong. But I'll say this in my somewhat not

0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:45.560
<v Speaker 2>so limited experience, if you're good enough to crawl across

0:06:45.560 --> 0:06:49.160
<v Speaker 2>the prairie and arrow an analope of any size somewhat consistently,

0:06:49.760 --> 0:06:51.760
<v Speaker 2>you can kill just about anything that might make its

0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:55.000
<v Speaker 2>way into the Super Slam list. It's just to test

0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:58.760
<v Speaker 2>of good hunting skills. Arrowing elk is too, or spotting

0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:01.280
<v Speaker 2>and stocking meal deer, and so is being able to

0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:04.120
<v Speaker 2>figure out white till doze on a regular basis, at

0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:06.400
<v Speaker 2>least if you're in a place where they get hunted

0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:10.640
<v Speaker 2>fairly hard. But those ladies and these early season groups

0:07:10.680 --> 0:07:13.320
<v Speaker 2>of them also do something else for us as hunters.

0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:17.560
<v Speaker 2>They tell us where the bucks often aren't. You see,

0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:21.560
<v Speaker 2>nature does a wonderful job of creating hierarchies. The biggest

0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:23.600
<v Speaker 2>and toughest in any group tends to own the spots

0:07:23.600 --> 0:07:27.640
<v Speaker 2>with the best advantages security, cover, water, food sources, you

0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:30.840
<v Speaker 2>name it. The entire deer herd on your property is

0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:33.760
<v Speaker 2>organized this way, kind of like that org chart at

0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:36.040
<v Speaker 2>work that shows who works under who and what department.

0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:41.080
<v Speaker 2>It's also not a perfect pyramid shape either, because some

0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:43.760
<v Speaker 2>does are dominant over other doughs, while some bucks are

0:07:43.800 --> 0:07:48.040
<v Speaker 2>dominant over other bucks. In general, what you see as

0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:50.360
<v Speaker 2>you scout the last days of velvet living in the

0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:52.760
<v Speaker 2>first couple weeks of hard antlered life is that the

0:07:52.800 --> 0:07:55.480
<v Speaker 2>deer tend to split up into groups divided by gender.

0:07:56.680 --> 0:07:59.080
<v Speaker 2>The dose will be in the beanfield of multiple spots,

0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:02.400
<v Speaker 2>but the bucks, at least the bigger deer will usually

0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:05.600
<v Speaker 2>be in very specific locations. They'll be in the back

0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:08.200
<v Speaker 2>corner that is invisible from the road and is close

0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:10.200
<v Speaker 2>to the trout stream where they can drink some delicious

0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:13.640
<v Speaker 2>cold water any damn well time they please. When they

0:08:13.640 --> 0:08:16.400
<v Speaker 2>are feeding together, you often won't see groups of dozen

0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:19.040
<v Speaker 2>fawns get too close to the bucks or mix it

0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:22.400
<v Speaker 2>up with them. When you watch groups of dozen fawns

0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:24.880
<v Speaker 2>feeding in a spot, they often won't mix it up

0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:29.240
<v Speaker 2>with other dozen fawns either, and if they do, you

0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:33.320
<v Speaker 2>often see ears, pin back and hoof's flying. They do

0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:35.719
<v Speaker 2>this even when they have two hundred acres of the

0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:39.200
<v Speaker 2>same food source right at their disposal. It's the proximity

0:08:39.240 --> 0:08:42.400
<v Speaker 2>to one another that matters most, and they often aren't

0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:46.760
<v Speaker 2>that tolerant. So what does this mean? Well for starters,

0:08:46.840 --> 0:08:48.520
<v Speaker 2>what if you're getting a whole bunch of pictures of

0:08:48.559 --> 0:08:50.480
<v Speaker 2>dozen fawns but not a whole bunch of pictures of

0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:54.000
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and fifty inch bucks. Well, either the bucks

0:08:54.040 --> 0:08:56.680
<v Speaker 2>aren't around, or your camera is on a spot that

0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:58.960
<v Speaker 2>is great for the ladies but not so great for

0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:02.600
<v Speaker 2>the dominant bucks. You might think, well, I do get

0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:05.839
<v Speaker 2>some buck pictures, so they are around, and aren't I

0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:09.240
<v Speaker 2>supposed to be around does for my rut hunts. Sure, buddy,

0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:12.280
<v Speaker 2>that's all true, but the run is a long ways

0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:14.560
<v Speaker 2>off and a lot is going to change between then

0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:17.320
<v Speaker 2>and now. Don't you want to fill your deer tag

0:09:17.400 --> 0:09:19.040
<v Speaker 2>earlier in the season so you can go to another

0:09:19.040 --> 0:09:21.960
<v Speaker 2>state and have some more deer fun. Here's the thing.

0:09:22.720 --> 0:09:26.080
<v Speaker 2>The does are often not exactly where the bucks are.

0:09:26.760 --> 0:09:30.480
<v Speaker 2>That matters for your scouting, for your camera placement, for

0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:33.840
<v Speaker 2>your stand sites, for all of it. It's not a

0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:36.600
<v Speaker 2>hard and fast rule, of course, but it is something

0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:38.600
<v Speaker 2>to consider when you're trying to make a hunting plan

0:09:38.640 --> 0:09:41.200
<v Speaker 2>that results in you getting a big buck, which is

0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:55.840
<v Speaker 2>what we're talking about here. So the ladies teach us

0:09:55.880 --> 0:09:58.359
<v Speaker 2>a lot of things. They teach us where the secondary

0:09:58.360 --> 0:10:02.600
<v Speaker 2>feeding areas probably are, which is what that bachelorette group

0:10:02.880 --> 0:10:06.320
<v Speaker 2>that Eric so aptly named showed us. But we didn't

0:10:06.360 --> 0:10:08.840
<v Speaker 2>learn their full message until we pulled a camera in

0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:12.280
<v Speaker 2>one spot on that giant beanfield that has just tucked

0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:14.400
<v Speaker 2>away sort of no man's land and close to a

0:10:14.440 --> 0:10:17.840
<v Speaker 2>water source. That camera had more big buck pictures on

0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:20.280
<v Speaker 2>it than the other four or five on the field combined.

0:10:21.080 --> 0:10:23.720
<v Speaker 2>It also has a really interesting stand set up on

0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:26.000
<v Speaker 2>it now that you'll probably get to see next year

0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:28.160
<v Speaker 2>on the media or YouTube channel. At some point, I'm

0:10:28.160 --> 0:10:32.480
<v Speaker 2>guessing the other cameras we have on that field, the

0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:36.240
<v Speaker 2>spotting scope work we've done on that field, it all

0:10:36.400 --> 0:10:38.640
<v Speaker 2>came together to show us where a lot of dough

0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:41.480
<v Speaker 2>family groups were, and you know, where a couple of

0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:44.319
<v Speaker 2>year and a half old bucks were. Two it also

0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:47.840
<v Speaker 2>showed us where the bachelor group of older bucks wasn't

0:10:48.080 --> 0:10:51.840
<v Speaker 2>And they weren't nocturnal, they weren't on somebody else's property.

0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:56.000
<v Speaker 2>They just weren't in the spots we monitored. This happens

0:10:56.040 --> 0:10:59.720
<v Speaker 2>a lot. It happens when you're scouting and running cameras.

0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:03.319
<v Speaker 2>That happens when you're hunting. Now, I know I'm contradicting

0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:06.280
<v Speaker 2>myself here on some level, because I do believe trying

0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:08.440
<v Speaker 2>to get in close proximity to all kinds of deer

0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:11.800
<v Speaker 2>is good for your hunting overall. But for early season

0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:15.800
<v Speaker 2>hunts where your target is a decent buck, sometimes you

0:11:15.840 --> 0:11:17.960
<v Speaker 2>want to get away from most of the rest of

0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:22.000
<v Speaker 2>the deer. You also don't want to write does off

0:11:22.040 --> 0:11:24.480
<v Speaker 2>as interesting things to watch while you're waiting for another

0:11:24.600 --> 0:11:27.760
<v Speaker 2>chance to rack up a taxidermy bill. This is because

0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:30.560
<v Speaker 2>the dough groups, when they do overlap with good buck movement,

0:11:31.200 --> 0:11:34.160
<v Speaker 2>often show up first. I see this in the evenings

0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:37.880
<v Speaker 2>a lot, and almost always in the mornings. I don't

0:11:37.920 --> 0:11:41.079
<v Speaker 2>know why this is, but when I hunt early season mornings,

0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:43.640
<v Speaker 2>you know, when every white tail expert out there says

0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:46.920
<v Speaker 2>that you shouldn't, I often see does and youngsters come

0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:50.400
<v Speaker 2>through first. Then, like eight thirty or nine in the morning,

0:11:50.440 --> 0:11:52.760
<v Speaker 2>when I start thinking about pancakes and a midday nap

0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:55.240
<v Speaker 2>or maybe going to troutfish for a few hours, the

0:11:55.280 --> 0:11:58.320
<v Speaker 2>bigger deer will cruise through. If I get busted by

0:11:58.320 --> 0:12:00.839
<v Speaker 2>the does first, the big guy is going to show up.

0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:03.600
<v Speaker 2>If you're on a field edge in the evening and

0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:06.000
<v Speaker 2>that dough with two fawns decides she doesn't like the

0:12:06.040 --> 0:12:08.760
<v Speaker 2>first light specter covered blob in the tree filming her

0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:12.240
<v Speaker 2>with an iPhone ten or worse taking selfies for the

0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:15.960
<v Speaker 2>gram good luck, She's going to send out the bat

0:12:16.000 --> 0:12:18.800
<v Speaker 2>signal and the bucks aren't going to show, or if

0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:22.240
<v Speaker 2>they do, it's going to be real late. The point

0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:25.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm trying to make here is this, There is no

0:12:26.280 --> 0:12:30.320
<v Speaker 2>just hunting big bucks. You might focus solely on that

0:12:30.360 --> 0:12:32.920
<v Speaker 2>as your goal, but you're never gonna do that without

0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:36.479
<v Speaker 2>dealing with other deer in the herd. They're always a consideration.

0:12:37.720 --> 0:12:40.040
<v Speaker 2>It's kind of like throwing frogs for large mouth in

0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:42.760
<v Speaker 2>the lily pads. When you're in the north country, your

0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:46.360
<v Speaker 2>goal might be an amphibian's chomping five pounder that is

0:12:46.400 --> 0:12:48.920
<v Speaker 2>living in two feet of water and just waiting to

0:12:48.960 --> 0:12:52.400
<v Speaker 2>smash something slimy on the surface. But along the way

0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:54.599
<v Speaker 2>you'll also do with northern pike biting you off and

0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:57.679
<v Speaker 2>ripping holes in your twelve dollars spro frogs so often

0:12:57.720 --> 0:12:59.439
<v Speaker 2>that you might need to take out a heelock just

0:12:59.480 --> 0:13:02.640
<v Speaker 2>to pay for your next shields order. They are just

0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:05.160
<v Speaker 2>a part of the whole thing, just like the groups

0:13:05.160 --> 0:13:07.600
<v Speaker 2>of doze out there. I know this one has been

0:13:07.640 --> 0:13:09.360
<v Speaker 2>kind of all over the place, so let me try

0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:11.800
<v Speaker 2>to stick this landing here without breaking in an ankle.

0:13:13.120 --> 0:13:16.199
<v Speaker 2>Pay attention to the doze on your cameras, the doze

0:13:16.280 --> 0:13:19.440
<v Speaker 2>you see while glassing, and the doze you see while hunting.

0:13:20.440 --> 0:13:24.800
<v Speaker 2>What they do bucks will do the trails they walk.

0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:28.080
<v Speaker 2>Bucks will eventually walk the way they drop down to

0:13:28.120 --> 0:13:30.920
<v Speaker 2>the pond for a little drink, so too will some

0:13:31.120 --> 0:13:35.760
<v Speaker 2>bucks at some point. But they'll also show you, particularly

0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:39.320
<v Speaker 2>in the early season, where the bucks often aren't that

0:13:39.440 --> 0:13:42.480
<v Speaker 2>beautiful open woods you like to sit in because there

0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:44.720
<v Speaker 2>are a bunch of white oaks in there, that's great.

0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:48.920
<v Speaker 2>But if it's just dough after dough during daylight, it's

0:13:49.000 --> 0:13:52.040
<v Speaker 2>not because the bucks are nocturnal. It's because they either

0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:55.000
<v Speaker 2>have a better spot to feed where you aren't, or

0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:57.920
<v Speaker 2>they're just taking their sweet ass time moving in better

0:13:57.960 --> 0:14:01.199
<v Speaker 2>cover until you leave and the lights go out. If

0:14:01.240 --> 0:14:03.800
<v Speaker 2>your camera on your kill plot shows tons of daylight

0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:07.840
<v Speaker 2>activity from does but not much daylight activity from good bucks,

0:14:08.400 --> 0:14:12.080
<v Speaker 2>pay attention. Are they in there after dark? Then you

0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:14.240
<v Speaker 2>might have to hunt them a little ways off of

0:14:14.280 --> 0:14:18.400
<v Speaker 2>the groceries, all while avoiding detection from the ladies as

0:14:18.440 --> 0:14:21.920
<v Speaker 2>they pass through. First, I think you have to learn

0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:25.200
<v Speaker 2>how to hunt the does before you can learn how

0:14:25.200 --> 0:14:27.960
<v Speaker 2>to hunt the big dudes. But you also have to

0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:30.960
<v Speaker 2>work with them throughout the season because they are going

0:14:31.000 --> 0:14:32.800
<v Speaker 2>to be a part of the whole thing, whether you

0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:36.240
<v Speaker 2>like it or not. They sometimes show you exactly where

0:14:36.280 --> 0:14:38.920
<v Speaker 2>you should hunt, like if they are using a river

0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:42.200
<v Speaker 2>crossing or traveling along a soft edge while browsing in

0:14:42.240 --> 0:14:45.400
<v Speaker 2>the big woods. But they also sometimes show you where

0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:48.880
<v Speaker 2>you shouldn't hunt if you want a big buck. That is,

0:14:49.640 --> 0:14:51.280
<v Speaker 2>if the part of the field you love to watch

0:14:51.320 --> 0:14:55.880
<v Speaker 2>is dominated by does. Take note if your favorite stand

0:14:55.880 --> 0:14:57.480
<v Speaker 2>that is easy to get to and sits over a

0:14:57.480 --> 0:15:00.680
<v Speaker 2>power line with nice views in two directions is always

0:15:00.680 --> 0:15:04.680
<v Speaker 2>full of ladies and youngsters, take note. The bucks are

0:15:04.760 --> 0:15:06.840
<v Speaker 2>likely around, but they are using some part of the

0:15:06.920 --> 0:15:11.320
<v Speaker 2>terrain that offers them something better. This lesson is often

0:15:11.440 --> 0:15:15.120
<v Speaker 2>most easily understood by betting. You see this with Western

0:15:15.160 --> 0:15:18.720
<v Speaker 2>critters a lot, too, because they often show themselves in

0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:22.160
<v Speaker 2>their beds, so you can see exactly where they are

0:15:22.720 --> 0:15:25.760
<v Speaker 2>and make a good guess as to why white tails

0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:28.440
<v Speaker 2>aren't as generous that way. But you can fill in

0:15:28.480 --> 0:15:32.400
<v Speaker 2>the blanks pretty well with when and where you jump

0:15:32.480 --> 0:15:34.840
<v Speaker 2>deer and when and where you see them on your hunts.

0:15:35.680 --> 0:15:38.240
<v Speaker 2>At least if you're hunting in the cover, the does

0:15:38.320 --> 0:15:41.440
<v Speaker 2>will often be betted in the most obvious spots, and

0:15:41.520 --> 0:15:44.400
<v Speaker 2>the bucks won't. They will show you this by either

0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:48.840
<v Speaker 2>actually showing themselves or not. How is that confusing. Look

0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:50.760
<v Speaker 2>at it this way. If you walk into the woods

0:15:50.800 --> 0:15:53.720
<v Speaker 2>and you see some does running away at say noon,

0:15:54.560 --> 0:15:58.120
<v Speaker 2>you know they were probably betted there. You might find

0:15:58.160 --> 0:16:01.840
<v Speaker 2>proof of that by well finding their beds. But if

0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:03.960
<v Speaker 2>you hike up a bluff onto a nice little bench

0:16:03.960 --> 0:16:06.480
<v Speaker 2>where the view is solid and the wind is just right,

0:16:07.120 --> 0:16:10.160
<v Speaker 2>you probably won't see any deer. You might find a

0:16:10.160 --> 0:16:13.320
<v Speaker 2>great big loan bed and think, dang, at some point,

0:16:13.600 --> 0:16:17.680
<v Speaker 2>he's here. But the truth is he's always going to

0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:20.360
<v Speaker 2>be gone when you get there, because he knows you're coming.

0:16:20.840 --> 0:16:23.840
<v Speaker 2>Because his bed is positioned in such a way you're

0:16:23.880 --> 0:16:26.240
<v Speaker 2>just not going to sneak up on him. His spot

0:16:26.320 --> 0:16:28.560
<v Speaker 2>is better than where those does bed up on the

0:16:28.680 --> 0:16:34.160
<v Speaker 2>ridge or in the open valley below. The deer all

0:16:34.200 --> 0:16:37.400
<v Speaker 2>have something to teach us, just like every elk encounter

0:16:37.520 --> 0:16:40.080
<v Speaker 2>is a lesson in elk behavior, just like every turkey

0:16:40.080 --> 0:16:42.480
<v Speaker 2>that feeds through the meadow is giving you a first

0:16:42.480 --> 0:16:46.120
<v Speaker 2>hand lesson on turkey behavior. These things matter, and they

0:16:46.120 --> 0:16:48.840
<v Speaker 2>are the secret sauce that takes average hunters to the

0:16:48.880 --> 0:16:52.160
<v Speaker 2>next level. So my friends, don't write off the ladies.

0:16:52.800 --> 0:16:56.160
<v Speaker 2>Use their presence, use your pictures of them, your sightings

0:16:56.560 --> 0:16:59.120
<v Speaker 2>to inform your decisions on how to hunt whatever deer

0:16:59.160 --> 0:17:02.240
<v Speaker 2>trips your trigger, and come back next week because I'm

0:17:02.240 --> 0:17:04.520
<v Speaker 2>going to break down one of our biggest allies in

0:17:04.560 --> 0:17:08.280
<v Speaker 2>one of our biggest enemies as hunters, an unseen force

0:17:08.359 --> 0:17:11.280
<v Speaker 2>that influences our hunting decisions more than just about anything else.

0:17:11.800 --> 0:17:14.520
<v Speaker 2>It's an invisible element of each and every second we

0:17:14.560 --> 0:17:17.640
<v Speaker 2>spend in the outdoors that can make or break your

0:17:17.680 --> 0:17:20.199
<v Speaker 2>experience in a matter of seconds, and there ain't a

0:17:20.320 --> 0:17:22.960
<v Speaker 2>damn thing we can do about it. You guessed it.

0:17:23.040 --> 0:17:26.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to talk about squirrels. Just kidding. It's wind.

0:17:28.800 --> 0:17:31.239
<v Speaker 2>That's it for this week. I'm Tony Peterson. This has

0:17:31.240 --> 0:17:33.920
<v Speaker 2>been the Wire to Hunt Foundation's podcast, which is brought

0:17:33.920 --> 0:17:36.639
<v Speaker 2>to you by First Light. As always, thank you so

0:17:36.760 --> 0:17:39.560
<v Speaker 2>much for listening and for all your support. Every one

0:17:39.560 --> 0:17:42.560
<v Speaker 2>of us here at meat Eater truly appreciates it. We

0:17:42.600 --> 0:17:45.600
<v Speaker 2>can't thank you enough. If you want some more hunting content,

0:17:45.680 --> 0:17:51.880
<v Speaker 2>and I'm talking other podcasts, videos, articles, whatever, you want

0:17:51.920 --> 0:17:53.959
<v Speaker 2>to do a little shop and head on over to

0:17:54.000 --> 0:17:56.520
<v Speaker 2>the medeater dot com and you'll see all of that

0:17:56.720 --> 0:17:58.480
<v Speaker 2>more
