We're gonna be chatting with a handful of 13 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 1: deer hunters from all across the country and they're gonna 14 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 1: tell us about what kind of activity they've been seeing, 15 00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,360 Speaker 1: what activity they're predicting coming in the future, and how 16 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:04,200 Speaker 1: different conditions and factors and sightings are are influencing what 17 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 1: they're doing as hunters. So that's the game plan. Spencer 18 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 1: new Heart leads the charge on all of those interviews 19 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:15,479 Speaker 1: and it is a very exciting time for me personally selfishly, 20 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 1: because we are right on the precipice of the Michigan 21 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 1: Bow hunting season, Spencer, and I'm very excited. I've got 22 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 1: like the full blown I can't sleep at night. I'm 23 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,400 Speaker 1: looking at pictures, I'm looking at maps, I'm looking at 24 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: my weather forecast over and over. That whole thing has 25 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: one developed me right now. Man. So I'm glad we 26 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,320 Speaker 1: can do this chat because I'm chomping at the bit. 27 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,920 Speaker 1: I like it. I saw on social media you just 28 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 1: had like a trail camera update. Can you tell us 29 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 1: more about that, and like, where are your trail cameras 30 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: gonna be now as we get into opener? Yeah, so 31 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: I posted a bunch of pictures from the back forty 32 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 1: and exciting news over there. We have a big turnaround 33 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 1: from where we were last year. This time last year, 34 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 1: if if you remember, Spencer or anybody listening, we had 35 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,079 Speaker 1: gone and checked trail cameras in mid September last year 36 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: when Steve and Yanni came out for their squirrel hunt, 37 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,800 Speaker 1: and we hadn't had like a single decent buck on 38 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 1: trail camera all summer in early fall. It was really disappointing, 39 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 1: uh frustrating, and as you know, a lot of the 40 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,919 Speaker 1: season was that way too. I had that one great 41 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 1: encounter and killed the white Ape, but a lot of 42 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 1: the rest of the year was kind of frustrating. Well, 43 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,640 Speaker 1: we made a lot of changes last year in the spring, 44 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 1: and I don't want to pat myself on the back 45 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 1: too much, but something's going right because we're getting a 46 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,919 Speaker 1: lot more activity on cameras. We're seeing a lot of bucks. Um, 47 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:50,359 Speaker 1: there's probably I don't know three four five bucks that 48 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 1: you know, I think would be considered shooters by myself 49 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 1: and or our guests. Um, a couple of definite four 50 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,240 Speaker 1: year older older bucks, a couple three year olds, bunch 51 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 1: of a two year old kind of you know, nice 52 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 1: little ten pointers, the lay pointers. So yeah, the cameras are, 53 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 1: they're lighting up right now. And most of those that 54 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: I have placed all all I was checking and posting 55 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: the other day where cell camera updates and those have 56 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 1: been placed just in transition zones between food sources and betting. 57 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 1: And so there's one cell camera that is in the 58 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: edge of a bean field, on the edge of the 59 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 1: bean field, but in between a neighboring bean field and 60 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,239 Speaker 1: the cover on our side. So we're catching these deer 61 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 1: that were feeding in those beans in the summer, heading 62 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 1: back to feed or sorry, heading back to bed on 63 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: Ours and then there's another camera that's set back in 64 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: the honey hole actually, which is this really cool area 65 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: of cover on the farm, and there's big white oak 66 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: tree in there that's just raining acorns. So what we're 67 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: seeing is that there's still some deer coming off of 68 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 1: those beans, and I'm sure there's some oaks scattered on 69 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 1: the edges of these fields that they're feeding on two 70 00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 1: but they're they're heading back into bed on Ours and 71 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: then they're going into that betting air and honey hole 72 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 1: and they're feeding on those acorns heavily during daylight. Still. Um, 73 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: So that whole acorn thing I think is going to 74 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 1: be something I'm guessing you've heard from our guests or 75 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: will be soon because I think they're dropping in a 76 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 1: lot of parts of the country and they're definitely keying 77 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: in on those here. So yeah, that's what's happening in 78 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,280 Speaker 1: the back Ford. It at least it's um it's that 79 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,799 Speaker 1: time of year now. I think a lot of hunters 80 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: kind of operate on this system where when you have 81 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: the beginning of October coming, or when you have a 82 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 1: season opener coming, they sort of check them like one 83 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: last time or set them in a different place one 84 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: last time, and then leave them until we get closer 85 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,280 Speaker 1: to the rut. So my question for you, Mark is 86 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: if you had to leave your cam siak for like 87 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: the next month, where would you have it at. So 88 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 1: I try to shift most of my cameras two my 89 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:59,039 Speaker 1: fall locations at the very end of summer, so the 90 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,159 Speaker 1: very end of August or early September, I basically shift 91 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 1: everything to the spots I want them for October and November, 92 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 1: which in most cases will be UM. They can be 93 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: in different spots like these transition areas I mentioned are 94 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 1: the edge of food sources. But the most important things 95 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,280 Speaker 1: I want them on scrapes, So that can either be 96 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: a natural scrape, like a spot that every year that 97 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 1: becomes a scrape gets hit by multiple deer year after 98 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,359 Speaker 1: year after year, that kind of community hub. I like 99 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 1: having cameras on those um, but I'll also create scrapes 100 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 1: in places that I want them and those as. As 101 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,279 Speaker 1: we talked about a lot in the past, these these 102 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:40,279 Speaker 1: scrapes just act as this kind of local water cooler, 103 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 1: and all the bucks like to check in, see who's 104 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 1: been here, what's going on, and and kind of leave 105 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 1: their calling card to. So they're a really good place 106 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,719 Speaker 1: to get an inventory of what's there, who's in the 107 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 1: area right now, how early in the day or late 108 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: in the day, or these deer starting to move. It 109 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 1: gives you that I don't know, it's like a thermometer 110 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,600 Speaker 1: on activity. So I may not be hunting in these places, 111 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 1: but it's gonna give me a good check in on 112 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 1: on what's happening in the area and who's here. So 113 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 1: most of my stuff is set on those locations already. Now, 114 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,039 Speaker 1: these two cell cameras I mentioned are in a little 115 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 1: bit unique spots. They aren't on scrapes. Well, let me 116 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,160 Speaker 1: take you back. I did create a mock scrape in 117 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 1: front of both of these cameras. They're setting these transition 118 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: spots that are hard to get to. But I also 119 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,279 Speaker 1: still create a mock scrape in front of both. Um. 120 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,720 Speaker 1: So that's all to say. If I was moving something 121 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,160 Speaker 1: right now, which i'd I'd rather not, I'd rather not 122 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 1: go on at all right now, um and just wait 123 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 1: until you're hunting. But if I had to move things around, 124 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,039 Speaker 1: I'd be doing exactly what I described. I'd be putting 125 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,279 Speaker 1: these on scrapes or mock scrapes. I would not be 126 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 1: going back into the cover crashing around. Um. I would 127 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: only be putting these in easy to access places where 128 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,159 Speaker 1: I'm not going to spook stuff because again, I don't 129 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: want to apply a lot of pressure until I'm actually hunting. 130 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,839 Speaker 1: So for me in Michigan opening days October one, that's 131 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 1: next week. UM, I'm not pushing into anything right now. 132 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,920 Speaker 1: I'm only checking cramp cameras that are cell cameras. I'm 133 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,159 Speaker 1: not gonna walk all over the place and check these things, 134 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 1: and I'm just gonna observe from a distance as much 135 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: as I can. So on my back forty place, we're 136 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 1: observing via trail cam cell cam. On another one of 137 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 1: my local Michigan properties, I've got this really cool hill 138 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 1: area where i can observe a lot of the farm. 139 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 1: So I'm doing some evening scouting up there and just 140 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 1: watching from a distance. Um, but I don't want to. 141 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 1: You don't want to go on their setting stands and 142 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 1: messing around with cameras five days, six days before the 143 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 1: hunting season. You know, you're the deer can't tell the 144 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 1: difference between you hunting and you doing that work. It's 145 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: all the same to them. And it's all going to 146 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 1: result in these deer not wanting to move in daylight 147 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: as much because of it. Yeah, I would echo everything 148 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 1: that you just said their mark for the next three 149 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 1: to four weeks. If I had have one place to 150 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 1: have my trail cameras, I want them all on scrapes. 151 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 1: They are great for getting inventory, They're great for patterning 152 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 1: to you, They're great for seeing when they start to 153 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 1: move a little bit sooner in the evenings, are a 154 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 1: little bit later into the mornings. I just really want 155 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 1: my cameras on scrapes for basically the whole month of October. Now, 156 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about that same thing with all four 157 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: of our guests this week, which include Dean Siemens from Delaware, 158 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 1: Josh Gente from North Carolina, Travis Thiel in South Dakota, 159 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 1: and then Michael hans Sucker in Missouri. And something that 160 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 1: you'll hear from all of our guests is that there's 161 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 1: this approaching cold front like early to mid next week 162 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 1: across most of the country. Um. Now, this is like 163 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,839 Speaker 1: almost the unofficial sign of fall. Right yesterday was the 164 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 1: first official day fall. But when we start talking about 165 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 1: the first cold front, that's like the most exciting time 166 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 1: I think in every year mark when we do red 167 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 1: Fresh radio um in like early to mid October, when 168 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 1: we get a good cold front that's very timely. It 169 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 1: seems like all sorts of deer get killed. Now, the 170 00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,679 Speaker 1: time of this cold front isn't great because it's like 171 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,840 Speaker 1: sort of between you know, uh, this coming weekend and 172 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 1: the weekend after that of that Tuesday Wednesday. But say 173 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 1: that cold front did land on like a Saturday and 174 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: Sunday and everybody can be in the wards. What would 175 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,080 Speaker 1: you want to be doing for like a late September 176 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 1: set up or an early October set up when we 177 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 1: have a great cold front like this one coming where 178 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:24,079 Speaker 1: in some parts of the country from like Friday's high 179 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 1: to Tuesday's low, we're looking at like a fifty degree difference. 180 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 1: What what would be your strategy then? Yeah, like you said, 181 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 1: there's nothing that's gonna get me more excited this time 182 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:38,719 Speaker 1: of yre and for me late September early October, it's 183 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 1: still a food game. I'm I want to know what 184 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:46,200 Speaker 1: is the number one food source right now? And and 185 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 1: or I want to know where is my buck like 186 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 1: if I'm if I'm just after deer then I want 187 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,680 Speaker 1: to know what's the most the single, most attractive food 188 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 1: source right now. And then if I'm after a specific deer, 189 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 1: I want to know as best as I can possibly 190 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,080 Speaker 1: figure out what he's doing, you know, right now, or 191 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,200 Speaker 1: what's the most recent piece of until I can tell 192 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 1: about him, Because when this cold front hits, it's going 193 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 1: to get these deer on their feet, and this is 194 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 1: going to be one of those couple opportunities you're gonna 195 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 1: have throughout the year where that big old buck might 196 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,960 Speaker 1: move a little bit earlier in the evening. So I 197 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 1: would try to make an aggressive hunt into that best spot. 198 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:26,960 Speaker 1: I would go try to get into my number one 199 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,680 Speaker 1: location for a food source type hunt. So that's something 200 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,680 Speaker 1: where I'm tight into the edge of that bedding and 201 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 1: food transition spot where I think, Okay, if I have 202 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 1: some kind of history or some kind of scouting that 203 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 1: tells me that this is that best food source and 204 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 1: this is probably the most likely place these bucks are 205 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 1: coming from, I'm going to go in there and and 206 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 1: get right on it. Um. Maybe if it was a warm, 207 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 1: hot day in October, I wouldn't push right in there. 208 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 1: I'd hunt more observations. I'd hunt farther on the edge. 209 00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 1: But with that cold weather, I want to be in 210 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 1: my killing set. So you know, that might be a 211 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 1: green food plot, that might be uh an acorn flat, 212 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: that might be a little patch of clover, or maybe 213 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 1: it's a standing corn field. It's just it's really starting 214 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 1: to dry down now and all of a sudden the 215 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 1: deer hitting it. It really comes down to knowing your 216 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,680 Speaker 1: area and your deer. So looking at those cameras, hopefully 217 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 1: you can either check them in a really careful way, 218 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:25,959 Speaker 1: or have cell cameras that can give you this intel 219 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: without you need to going in there, or do what 220 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:29,960 Speaker 1: I've been doing, which is observing from a distance. I 221 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,319 Speaker 1: want to know as best as possible what that right 222 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:34,960 Speaker 1: places to be is, because you only get a few 223 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:36,839 Speaker 1: chances when you get these big cold frinds, and you 224 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 1: need to be in the right place to take advantage 225 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 1: of that right time. So for me, October one is 226 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 1: opening day. That's gonna be a couple of days after 227 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 1: the front hits, but it's still gonna be pretty good. 228 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,839 Speaker 1: We're gonna be in like load of mid fifties, which 229 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:51,960 Speaker 1: is gonna be great for this time of year. So 230 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,200 Speaker 1: I've been watching one of my local farms from a distance, 231 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,720 Speaker 1: and I've seen my number one buck tran and I've 232 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 1: seen my number two bucks, which I've decided to call 233 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:06,440 Speaker 1: number two. Um. I've seen both of them move out 234 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 1: in this area along the edge of where standing cornfield 235 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,200 Speaker 1: and a bean field come together, and then I've got 236 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 1: a food plot system that's about a hundred yards away 237 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,559 Speaker 1: from it. And every time I've seen them come out 238 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,440 Speaker 1: over this month of September, and I think i've had 239 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,959 Speaker 1: um since what in the last ten days or so, 240 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 1: i've seen one of them. I've had less ten days. 241 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 1: I've seen them four times, and they're always coming from 242 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,080 Speaker 1: that standing corn or that edge that corner with the 243 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 1: bean field and cornfield come out. They're exiting out of 244 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 1: the bedding right where that corner is. And some nights 245 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,320 Speaker 1: they move north into the standing corn some nights they 246 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,199 Speaker 1: move south towards the food plot. But that's the entrance 247 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,560 Speaker 1: to this area. I can see so right there. Because 248 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 1: of that scouting, I know the area I want to 249 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,439 Speaker 1: focus on off the winds right when I get this 250 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:56,679 Speaker 1: front coming through, I want to be right around that, 251 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 1: and I would I would tell anyone listening try to 252 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,320 Speaker 1: achieve something sim or to that figure out where this 253 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 1: this point of knowledge is through observation or trail camera 254 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 1: something and keian on that close to food. That's it's generic, 255 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:14,840 Speaker 1: but that's kind of the recipe for most early season success. Um. 256 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,080 Speaker 1: Swing for the fences right now and we have this front, 257 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 1: but you need to have an educated swing, don't swing blindly. Sure, 258 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 1: generic mark, but I think that's all great advice, um, 259 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 1: and that can be like what helps somebody kill a 260 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,719 Speaker 1: deer for this first cold front of fall. I think 261 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 1: that's enough from us though for this week. Let's get 262 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 1: under our interviews. Sounds good, all right, and joining us 263 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,679 Speaker 1: on the line next is Dean Siemens from Delaware. Now, 264 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,440 Speaker 1: Dean in Delaware, what would you say the buck activity 265 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 1: has been lately on a scale of one to ten? Um, Well, 266 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 1: I might have a little bit of a bias point here, 267 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 1: but I have to say we're kind of right in 268 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 1: the middle, just for the fact that, uh, book activity 269 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,079 Speaker 1: has been really really was really good for us a 270 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago. Um, a few things went down 271 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 1: and then uh now it's been a little a little scattered, 272 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 1: so uh yeah, I have to have to stay with 273 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:11,280 Speaker 1: that at five marks. I know you had some crazy 274 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,199 Speaker 1: weather there before the opener. Can you tell us about 275 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 1: that and how that affected things for hunters? Yeah, yeah, 276 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 1: that was That was by far the craziest thing I've 277 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 1: had preseason. UM. So I don't know if you guys 278 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 1: knew about you know, I'm sure you know about the 279 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 1: hurricane that came through, um, but here in Delaware it 280 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,920 Speaker 1: brought I believe it was about seven and somewhere at 281 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 1: five to eight touchdowns of tornadoes. Um. And with that, 282 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 1: you know, brought brought all kinds of trees down, uh, 283 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 1: tour fields up. I mean it it threw us for 284 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 1: a spin. Um. So it uh kind of it took 285 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 1: all the bucks that we had on camera on one 286 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 1: of our our private spots and uh pushed them all 287 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 1: to somewhere. Um. Hopefully they're still out there, but uh yeah, 288 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 1: we're we're hoping to see him back. What food sources 289 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 1: should hunters be focused on in that part of the 290 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 1: country right now? I know we've been having really good 291 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 1: luck with the normal corn Um. You know, we're we're 292 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 1: you know, Delaware having a lot of corn fields and 293 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 1: stuff around. UM, it's a it's a primary source for 294 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 1: the deer. They're they're used to it. Um. But I 295 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 1: know early season acorns start dropping and uh in the 296 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 1: in the deep woods, that's kind of one of our 297 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 1: go to spots. If you can find some some acorns, 298 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 1: especially on public land where you're not allowed to do 299 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 1: any baiting. Um, that's that's definitely a key spot. So 300 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 1: I keep that on the radar. When you're going into 301 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 1: a new piece of public land in mid to late September, 302 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 1: what are you looking for on those properties? I know, 303 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 1: I know early season right now, since we're we're throwing 304 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 1: for a little bit of a loopward, we're bouncing around 305 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 1: to a couple of public spots that you know we've 306 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 1: hunted in the past, um, but we're we kind of 307 00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 1: backed away from because we thought we were pretty set 308 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 1: on our private land. UM, so we're being careful. Uh. 309 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 1: We're trying to get in and out during some rain. 310 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,000 Speaker 1: Keep our are sent you know down. Uh if you 311 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 1: can't get in there like that, you know obviously suiting up, 312 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 1: spraying down and uh. We're kind of working in on 313 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 1: some of the trails, trying to get back into some 314 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 1: of the deeper terrain find uh where some some nice 315 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,280 Speaker 1: are uh if we look if it looks like we're 316 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 1: getting near some bedding areas trying back out UM, and 317 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 1: we start kind of doing circles around that, finding whether 318 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 1: there's a one in UM, whether there's an area, whether 319 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 1: they're going to water UM. Basically all that little pre 320 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 1: rut scouting and uh, you know a lot of times 321 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 1: on those thick runs we get the rubs and scrapes, 322 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 1: so we're we're hounding in on them, marking them on 323 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:53,120 Speaker 1: the maps, and uh, we're hoping it off pans out 324 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 1: this year. Is water a focus for you this time 325 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 1: of year? Uh? You say, Walter is a focus this 326 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 1: time of year? Um, I would say that come the ruts, UM, 327 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 1: I'd like to be definitely in an area that you know, 328 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 1: if if there isn't much water, I want to make 329 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 1: sure I find somewhere that is because those bucks are 330 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,400 Speaker 1: gonna need it. They get to chase and they get 331 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,439 Speaker 1: a little winded, they're gonna go for the hydration. So 332 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 1: it's definitely a and that I want to keep on 333 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,919 Speaker 1: my radar. You said that you're looking for sign when 334 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,120 Speaker 1: you go on these new pieces of public land. Are 335 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:31,719 Speaker 1: you seeing any fresh sign that's from this year already? Yeah, Yeah, normally, 336 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:33,720 Speaker 1: I feel like I don't see too much of it 337 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,160 Speaker 1: this time of year. Um. I don't know if it's 338 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 1: because we had some some cool weather roll through that 339 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 1: that brought you know, nice forty degrees, you know, fifty 340 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 1: degree weather at night. Um, that they've actually started, you know, 341 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:50,680 Speaker 1: doing some scrapes um and actually some some good rubs 342 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:52,919 Speaker 1: where you know, normally it's you know, if you do 343 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 1: see a rub, it's like Alora is trying to clean 344 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:59,359 Speaker 1: off the velvet. Um. So it's you know, I'm pretty 345 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 1: confident with we're seeing some of that stuff now. So that's, uh, 346 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:06,720 Speaker 1: that's gonna be something I'm I'm looking more towards. Uh. 347 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 1: And then obviously getting into the next couple of weeks, 348 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,199 Speaker 1: they're really gonna start tearing it up going forward. Then 349 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:13,960 Speaker 1: in the sext week or so, what do you think 350 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,159 Speaker 1: that buck activity is going to be on a scale 351 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,880 Speaker 1: of one to ten in Delaware? I think it's really 352 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 1: gonna have to do with the weather. I know we're 353 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,399 Speaker 1: gonna get into some a little bit warmer temps coming 354 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 1: up here in the next week or so, so it 355 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,720 Speaker 1: might not you know, fire as soon as it it 356 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:32,240 Speaker 1: was appearing, it would but I don't know, man, it's 357 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,880 Speaker 1: still I'm gonna have to say probably seven because I've 358 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 1: already been seen some good fine and stuff early. Alright, Dean, 359 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 1: I hope you luck changes in Delaware. Good luck and 360 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 1: thanks for joining me. Thanks going all right and joining 361 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,960 Speaker 1: us on the line. Next is Travis Steele from buck 362 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 1: Storm in South Dakota. Now, Travis in South Dakota, what 363 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 1: would you say the buck activity has been lately? On 364 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:56,160 Speaker 1: a scale of one to ten, I would say it's 365 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,440 Speaker 1: probably been about a four late right now. It's been 366 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks been a warm Um, most 367 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,320 Speaker 1: of the state has been dry. Also, it seems like 368 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 1: there's been more evening activity than morning activity, which is 369 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,680 Speaker 1: pretty typical this time of year out here. Um, but 370 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,920 Speaker 1: I would I would think that it should be picking 371 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 1: up here soon for sure. I've definitely seen more deer 372 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,439 Speaker 1: on their feet in the evenings though than the morning. 373 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,360 Speaker 1: Seems like they're bedding up pretty early right now. So 374 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 1: hunting white tails in the Black Hills, you don't really 375 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,439 Speaker 1: have those traditional food sources. So what are the food 376 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,320 Speaker 1: sources that you're looking for this time of year and 377 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:34,360 Speaker 1: how does that change later in fall? As you get 378 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:38,639 Speaker 1: into October and November. Yeah, this time of year seems 379 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 1: like the majority of the deer and kind of all 380 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 1: year in the hills. There's a lot of forage right 381 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:48,240 Speaker 1: now just because um, they're they're kind of mainly on 382 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 1: like a grass diet. They're not there's not really corn, 383 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 1: there's not anything like that, you know, but they are 384 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,440 Speaker 1: hitting like some of the like private land, hay bottoms, 385 00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 1: a lot of that. Even as the summer transitions further 386 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 1: into fall. I've noticed, like some of these cattle pastures, 387 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,199 Speaker 1: the regrowth that will come up because there's crazing permits 388 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: throughout the Black Hills, those deer will actually focus on 389 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 1: the regrowth in those um sometimes even heavily more heavily 390 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 1: graze pastures, they'll even feed in. But for the most part, 391 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,879 Speaker 1: I've noticed you'll kind of see them favoring meadows that 392 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 1: have been hayed, um, kind of catching them to and 393 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:28,119 Speaker 1: from those meadows in between their betting area, kind of 394 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,200 Speaker 1: in that transitional zone where are you running your trail 395 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 1: cameras at this time of year, this time of year, 396 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:38,400 Speaker 1: most of them are kind of in that transition zone, 397 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 1: so in between where we think they're betting and where 398 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 1: they're feeding. Um, also in just areas that have like 399 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 1: traditionally been good for dear movement pinch points, uh, where 400 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 1: like four draws come together that kind of lead down 401 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 1: towards a food source. But you'll see a lot of 402 00:20:56,240 --> 00:21:00,240 Speaker 1: those deer kind of feeding just on natural grasses too, 403 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 1: So it's a little bit tougher to target a food 404 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:05,639 Speaker 1: source unless you're hunting like an area in the hills 405 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:09,680 Speaker 1: that borders that like a private meadow that has been haid. 406 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,199 Speaker 1: But I'd say for the most part, all of our 407 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 1: cameras are kind of in a transitional zone, not in 408 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 1: their bedroom. We don't hunt a lot of mornings this 409 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,960 Speaker 1: time of year, mostly evenings, just try to kind of 410 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 1: leave them alone and let them do their thing. With 411 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,439 Speaker 1: the elk crowd happening right now and elk seasons happening 412 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 1: right now in the Black Hills, does that change anything 413 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,359 Speaker 1: for a white tail hunter? Does it push those deer 414 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,200 Speaker 1: out of certain areas or move them off of certain 415 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:39,359 Speaker 1: food sources? Yes, Um, it's really hard to predict, but 416 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,040 Speaker 1: it definitely has an impact on them. You'll notice as 417 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 1: like you start getting some elk hunters walking through, like 418 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 1: you might even get tro camp pictures of them, some 419 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 1: of the deer that were regular previously kind of danish um. 420 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,480 Speaker 1: I don't think it's completely takes them, sends them out 421 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,960 Speaker 1: of the area or anything, because they seem to show 422 00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 1: back up. It definitely has an impact. And then as 423 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 1: soon as ascon than a rifle elk starts and that 424 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:05,159 Speaker 1: may even have more of an impact throughout October, just 425 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 1: because there's even more hunters out there. But it really 426 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 1: depends because there's some areas there just really is an 427 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:12,640 Speaker 1: elk in the Black Hills, so the elk cutters don't 428 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 1: have an impact on those areas. Do you focus on 429 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 1: water at all this time of year? Yeah, this year, 430 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,879 Speaker 1: especially because it's been a really dry there's really dry summer, 431 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,160 Speaker 1: has been a really dry fall so far. Early fall 432 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 1: water has been key this year. I do have quite 433 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 1: a few cameras that are kind of on like a 434 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,480 Speaker 1: food source that has water near it, like a meadow 435 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:37,479 Speaker 1: with water hole for example, or spring bottom in one 436 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 1: of those transitional zones. But I think water is probably 437 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,400 Speaker 1: more important this year than some years because some years 438 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,840 Speaker 1: there's water everywhere, so it's really hard to pinpoint them 439 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 1: and pick a water spot when they could drink anywhere. 440 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,280 Speaker 1: You know, there might be fifteen water sources in one 441 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 1: one square mile, so I'd say this year, especially targeting 442 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,640 Speaker 1: water would be huge. Even sitting on water when possible 443 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:04,600 Speaker 1: is a really good option. Are you seeing any signmaking yet? Yeah, 444 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,720 Speaker 1: I've actually come across a few scrapes. Um. I actually 445 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:09,200 Speaker 1: have a camera on a scrape that I need to 446 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,960 Speaker 1: get out and check here this week, but normally the 447 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,639 Speaker 1: second half of September. Already I have bucks starting to 448 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 1: kind of play around and hit that scrape rubs naturally 449 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,680 Speaker 1: obviously no sign of the rut yet or anything like that, 450 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 1: but they're definitely starting to cruise. I think, uh underlooked 451 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,159 Speaker 1: way to hunt them is kind of find some fresh rubs, 452 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,679 Speaker 1: maybe even make a couple of early rubs her scrapes 453 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 1: excuse me, in the this time of year, and a 454 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 1: lot of those like timber bucks will hit those scrapes 455 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 1: to and from food sources. It's just kind of a 456 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 1: way to redirect them in front of your tree stand 457 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 1: or however you maybe hunting going forward then in the 458 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 1: six week or so, what do you think that bucket 459 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 1: activity is going to be On a scale of one 460 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:54,680 Speaker 1: to ten in South Dakota. I think it's probably gonna 461 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 1: be a five or six. We got a cold front 462 00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 1: coming in, I believe this this weekend. In the next week, 463 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:05,120 Speaker 1: it's supposed to drop. It's almost ninety today and it's 464 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,120 Speaker 1: supposed to be I think in the sixties early next week. 465 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:12,600 Speaker 1: In the hills, that means thirties. So I really expected 466 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:16,159 Speaker 1: to pick up. Maybe even that morning movement will get 467 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,240 Speaker 1: a little better, but I'd say, yeah, five or six, 468 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 1: it should should be pretty decent for this time of year. 469 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:23,920 Speaker 1: All right, Travis, good luck to you and the gas 470 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 1: from Buckstorm. Thanks for joining me. Hey, thanks Spencer, alright 471 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 1: and joining us on the line. Next is Josh Genty 472 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,760 Speaker 1: from Cut four Outdoors in North Carolina. Now, Josh in 473 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,199 Speaker 1: North Carolina, what would you say the buck activity has 474 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 1: been lately on a scale of one to ten. Well, 475 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:42,520 Speaker 1: if you would have asked me about five days ago, 476 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 1: I told you about a eight. But right now it's 477 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,160 Speaker 1: probably down to about a six, maybe a five, five 478 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 1: and a half, simply because that cold front came in 479 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,360 Speaker 1: for us this past week, so the bucks were really 480 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 1: on their feet, it seems like. And then now that 481 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 1: that co front starting to move out, it kind of 482 00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,960 Speaker 1: seems like, you know, they're kind of taking their time, 483 00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 1: and basically daylight movement has been out a minimum. Right now, 484 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 1: do your strategies change it all as far as how 485 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 1: aggressive you are when you get a cold front in 486 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:13,800 Speaker 1: late September, Um, I try not to be too aggressive 487 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,640 Speaker 1: just because there is a lot of season left. Um, 488 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:18,680 Speaker 1: there is one there's been one book that I have 489 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,480 Speaker 1: been hunting like. He's been my number one hitless book 490 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:23,959 Speaker 1: I've been going after, and the wind just haven't been 491 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,159 Speaker 1: right for me that whole cold front. So I just 492 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 1: I didn't even bother to even try to go too 493 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:31,440 Speaker 1: aggressive on them, um, because I still keep the wind 494 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:34,159 Speaker 1: as my number one thing to consider any time I 495 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 1: go anywhere, even with a cold front, it don't matter. 496 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,119 Speaker 1: We both know that. So I've just been kind of, 497 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 1: you know, trying to go where the wind works from me, 498 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:43,400 Speaker 1: and I've been seen a lot of deer activity, just 499 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 1: haven't been where I think I can kill the big 500 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:49,920 Speaker 1: one yet. So that's just been my biggest deal. What 501 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,359 Speaker 1: food sources in North Carolina should hunters be focused on 502 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,520 Speaker 1: right now? Right now? I would probably go back. I 503 00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:58,600 Speaker 1: would probably go back and kind of like your normal 504 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 1: summer pattern activities. I'll probably go back to the beans now. 505 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 1: About a couple of weeks ago, they were really hitting 506 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,880 Speaker 1: like grapes and for Simmons, apples, that kind of thing. 507 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 1: But I think after that cold front that kind of 508 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 1: started to steer clear of it and they kind of 509 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,720 Speaker 1: hit it back towards the beam, almost like that Paul 510 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 1: pattern for him is starting to kick in a little early. 511 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,639 Speaker 1: But you know, only time can tell really, so right now, 512 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:22,560 Speaker 1: I would probably focus more on the beans and looks. 513 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,359 Speaker 1: Are you seeing any bachelor groups that are still together 514 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:27,639 Speaker 1: or have they all broken up? I wouldn't call it 515 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,960 Speaker 1: a huge bachelor group. I mean we see it every 516 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,560 Speaker 1: year where there's always that one big buck that seems 517 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:34,720 Speaker 1: to have that one little bug that tags along with it. Say, 518 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:36,360 Speaker 1: you know, every time you see you, that big one's 519 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:39,000 Speaker 1: gotta be around somewhere. So I wouldn't necessarily call it 520 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,720 Speaker 1: a bachelor group. But there is still a few groups 521 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,720 Speaker 1: here and there, about two or three bucks total, but 522 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,200 Speaker 1: I would definitely say that they're done with their bachelor groups. 523 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:50,240 Speaker 1: As the deers start to focus more on acorns, do 524 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 1: you expect to see a shift in betting as well? 525 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 1: I would say yes, because I still think, especially in 526 00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 1: North Carolina, we're supposed to getting this big warm front 527 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 1: going in, and so as it gets warmer, they do 528 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,680 Speaker 1: tend to be a big closer to foods horses like 529 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 1: they do in the summertime. So I would definitely look 530 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,479 Speaker 1: for those those acorns that are dropping that are closer 531 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,239 Speaker 1: to bedding or somewhere where you think deer might be 532 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 1: bettered open just because where they're not gonna want to 533 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 1: move as much whenever it gets warm this up for 534 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 1: a week, So I would definitely hugging tight somewhere in 535 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:24,400 Speaker 1: between the acorns and wherever there's bedding close by. Are 536 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:28,240 Speaker 1: you seeing any signmaking yet? I haven't seen anything serious, 537 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:30,040 Speaker 1: you know, you see. I see a couple of random 538 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,680 Speaker 1: rugs on trees just because from where they shed their velvet, 539 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,879 Speaker 1: But I haven't seen anything too consistent yet. I have 540 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,639 Speaker 1: heard some people tell me more on the towards the 541 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 1: coast in North Carolina, they're seeing a lot more signmaking, 542 00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:43,919 Speaker 1: I guess because they're starts a little bit earlier than 543 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,600 Speaker 1: or do ours does. So I've heard some scrapes on 544 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,320 Speaker 1: that side, but I would imagine it's gonna be the 545 00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:51,600 Speaker 1: complete opposite on the western side of the state, where 546 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,680 Speaker 1: in the mountains and the colder temperatures, there's probably I 547 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:56,160 Speaker 1: wouldn't say there's gonna be a whole lot of sign 548 00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:57,760 Speaker 1: making in the west, but right here we're kind of 549 00:27:57,760 --> 00:27:59,359 Speaker 1: the middle, so I'll just say we just got a 550 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,520 Speaker 1: few rugs here and there, but nothing too serious to 551 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:03,800 Speaker 1: focus a whole lot on. Where do you like to 552 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:07,879 Speaker 1: have your trail cameras focused in late September and late September? 553 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,640 Speaker 1: I would what I normally do is most people put 554 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:12,479 Speaker 1: their trail cameras and they set up whether it's over 555 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:14,640 Speaker 1: a corn pile where they usually see dear come out. 556 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:16,760 Speaker 1: I want to get my trail cameras up as how 557 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:18,840 Speaker 1: as I can, so kind of like if you have 558 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 1: a timeline feature, I really utilize those. That way. I 559 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,320 Speaker 1: can kind of figure out what part of the field 560 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,520 Speaker 1: or what area they are mainly coming from, and then 561 00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 1: I kind of start to focus in on Matt and 562 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:32,760 Speaker 1: so work my way back until where I think they're 563 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:34,280 Speaker 1: better at that, and I try to get somewhere in 564 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 1: between can use my trail cameras as everything going forward. 565 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 1: Then in the next week or so, what do you 566 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:41,680 Speaker 1: think that bucke activt is going to be on a 567 00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:45,000 Speaker 1: scale of one to ten in North Carolina. I'm gonna 568 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:47,960 Speaker 1: have to give it a solid four simply because we're 569 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,040 Speaker 1: supposed to get warmer tempertures asleep, We're supposed to get 570 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,480 Speaker 1: back up into the eighties. So that being said, I 571 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 1: really think they're gonna be. They're not gonna move until 572 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,000 Speaker 1: late at night just because of the cooler temperatures at night. 573 00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:00,120 Speaker 1: All right, Josh, that's great, intel, Good luck with your's 574 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,959 Speaker 1: and thanks for joining me. Appreciate it. Thank you all 575 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,280 Speaker 1: right in joining us on the line. Next is Michael 576 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:09,520 Speaker 1: hans Sucker from Heartland bow Hunter in Missouri. Now, Mike 577 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:11,760 Speaker 1: in Missouri, what would you say the buck activity has 578 00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,560 Speaker 1: been lately on a scale of one to ten, I 579 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,320 Speaker 1: would say in eight. Um, it's not a nine. I 580 00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 1: mean it's been really really good so far. Um. You know, 581 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 1: usually early season we're we're dealing with, you know, warmer 582 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:26,080 Speaker 1: temperatures and we're looking for those cold fronts to hit. 583 00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:29,800 Speaker 1: But it has been pretty pretty cool overall. And we've 584 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:32,480 Speaker 1: had cool evenings too, which helps with with everything. So 585 00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,480 Speaker 1: we've been doing really good buck activity. What food sources 586 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:39,120 Speaker 1: have you been focused on lately in Missouri. This is 587 00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:42,840 Speaker 1: kind of interesting. Um for us, we've been focused on 588 00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:47,520 Speaker 1: Braska plots and turn up turn up in Radish plots. 589 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:53,080 Speaker 1: Basically the deer on this particular front that I've been hunting, Um, 590 00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 1: you know, I've just wiped out the beans and the 591 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:57,160 Speaker 1: beans got in a little bit late, uh and didn't 592 00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,120 Speaker 1: get rained there for a while. We just had they 593 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:00,680 Speaker 1: got in late and had a out. So the beans 594 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:04,480 Speaker 1: are just completely wiped out. So, um, Braska's is typically 595 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,479 Speaker 1: you know, something that they don't usually eat until you know, 596 00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:09,800 Speaker 1: after that first hard frost when they start really keening on, 597 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,640 Speaker 1: especially on the bulbs. But um, they're eating the tops 598 00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,400 Speaker 1: like crazy, and they're not spending a ton of time 599 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:18,040 Speaker 1: in these plots. But they're coming early, they're moving early. 600 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 1: They're hitting them first before they head out to the 601 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:23,120 Speaker 1: destination bean fields. I noticed that a lot of your 602 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:26,120 Speaker 1: haunts lately you've been hunting from ground blinds. Is there 603 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,920 Speaker 1: some high level thinking behind that or is it what's 604 00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:33,760 Speaker 1: just been most convenient for those locations. Man, I'm hunting 605 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,320 Speaker 1: with my wife and uh sometimes with my kids, and 606 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:38,720 Speaker 1: so the ground line is a is a great open 607 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 1: to that. Beyond that, though, just the the scent containment um, 608 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:49,360 Speaker 1: the movement you know, concealability, and in the noise concealability. 609 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:52,880 Speaker 1: I mean, just those factors make hunting out of the the 610 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:56,800 Speaker 1: ground line super super beneficial. Um. Another thing too that 611 00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 1: we do a lot of times hunting with honey over 612 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,200 Speaker 1: food plot are hunting with moat corn in certain areas. 613 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,440 Speaker 1: You know, we can move those blinds easily to hunt 614 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:07,200 Speaker 1: different areas of different of the food plot um, so 615 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:09,120 Speaker 1: we can have this beer you know, most likely to 616 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:12,000 Speaker 1: be in bow range on recent haunts, have you seen 617 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:14,560 Speaker 1: bucks that are still traveling together or is that pretty 618 00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:18,040 Speaker 1: much over with? Yeah? No, they're still still pretty bachelored up. 619 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:20,560 Speaker 1: The mature bucks seem to be kind of branched off, 620 00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:23,720 Speaker 1: you know, kind of on their own. But the twos 621 00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:26,160 Speaker 1: and ones and twos and even some of the three 622 00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:29,120 Speaker 1: year olds are still kind of hanging hanging together sparr 623 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,000 Speaker 1: and messing around, playing and playing in the food plots stuff. 624 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:35,160 Speaker 1: But yeah, the maturity that we have seen have been 625 00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:38,000 Speaker 1: kind of on their own. Where are you running trail 626 00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:41,560 Speaker 1: cameras at this time of year? Oh man? Mainly you 627 00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,440 Speaker 1: know food plot edges um catching them coming you know 628 00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:46,160 Speaker 1: to them from the food plots, got them on time 629 00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:50,000 Speaker 1: laps mode covering covering the food plots. Um. You know, 630 00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:53,719 Speaker 1: I've really loved running truck carals on natural corridors like 631 00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:57,360 Speaker 1: like fence gaps, fence crossings, major trails, that type of stuff, 632 00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:00,480 Speaker 1: like leading towards food plots in between you know, food 633 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,640 Speaker 1: and bad areas and um, you know, especially in Missouri, 634 00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:06,600 Speaker 1: the when our our main farms in c w D County, 635 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:08,160 Speaker 1: so we can't put out any sort of attract and 636 00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:11,320 Speaker 1: even in the summertime, so getting pictures can be can 637 00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:14,719 Speaker 1: be difficult. But um, we're making mainly focusing close to 638 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:18,280 Speaker 1: the food sources and and you know approaching trails at 639 00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,800 Speaker 1: this moment um won't be long before we switch over 640 00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 1: to two you know, scrape trees and we already are 641 00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,040 Speaker 1: c and dear you know rub you know they're rubbed 642 00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:30,480 Speaker 1: their their glands on trees and not necessarily you know, 643 00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:32,360 Speaker 1: falling at the ground town, but they're definitely starting to 644 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:35,000 Speaker 1: hit some of those looking branches and those types of things. 645 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,560 Speaker 1: So that's an exciting time a year coming up for 646 00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:39,240 Speaker 1: most of the country. There's going to be a cold 647 00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:42,800 Speaker 1: front moving through early to mid next week is there 648 00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:46,400 Speaker 1: anything with your haunting strategy that changes in late September 649 00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:48,920 Speaker 1: when that happens, or are you still pretty conservative at 650 00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,880 Speaker 1: this point. Yeah, I mean we're still pretty conservative, but 651 00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:55,200 Speaker 1: I mean those colds, those first cold fronts have been 652 00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:58,240 Speaker 1: magical for us. I mean, um, as far as getting 653 00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:01,400 Speaker 1: the big mature deer on their feet early moving um 654 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:03,680 Speaker 1: in daylight hours. I mean, those first cold fronts of 655 00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:06,520 Speaker 1: the season have been awesome. So we will definitely be 656 00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:10,800 Speaker 1: out there and we're waiting, and most likely, I guess 657 00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:13,560 Speaker 1: we'll be hunting over clover um that seems to be 658 00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:17,400 Speaker 1: the um you know, or or you know, any sort 659 00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:19,440 Speaker 1: of green plot the clover or if they're like I said, 660 00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:21,280 Speaker 1: if they're keying on these these radishes and turn ups 661 00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:23,360 Speaker 1: plots that we get going like, we'll be on green 662 00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:28,320 Speaker 1: plots for sure. Are you seeing any signmaking yet in Missouri? Um? Yeah, 663 00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:30,760 Speaker 1: I mean there's definitely obviously rubs from when they're stripping 664 00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:32,560 Speaker 1: velvet and stuff, but they are starting to scrape a 665 00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:34,600 Speaker 1: little bit. Like I said, it hit the hit the 666 00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:36,960 Speaker 1: scrape branches, the scrape trees. We put out some scrape 667 00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,640 Speaker 1: trees and food plots and um, you know, on on 668 00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:42,880 Speaker 1: field edges and stuff, and they're definitely uh, definitely seen 669 00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:45,800 Speaker 1: a little bit of a little bit of activity. So um, 670 00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:47,440 Speaker 1: as soon as they strip that velvet, they start kind 671 00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:49,239 Speaker 1: of rubbing those glands all over the trees. And it's 672 00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:51,880 Speaker 1: kind of a social thing, so it won't be long 673 00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:55,360 Speaker 1: before they start ripping up the ground going forward. Then 674 00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:57,120 Speaker 1: in the six week or so, what do you think 675 00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,400 Speaker 1: that bucketvity is going to be on a scale of 676 00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,480 Speaker 1: one to ten in Missouri?
