So we've been 20 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,680 Speaker 1: doing this since September. Now we are all the way 21 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 1: into December and we're talking kind of late season stuff now. 22 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:22,919 Speaker 1: Um so it's much different than you know, the running 23 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 1: activity we talked about back in November for most of 24 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,760 Speaker 1: the part. But that's the game plan for today and 25 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 1: with me. The man who makes all of this happen 26 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 1: for us is Spencer new Hearth tit on. Man, I'm good. 27 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 1: I have not been deer hunting in a while now, 28 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 1: but I'm okay with it. When I see the temperatures 29 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 1: that are like seven degrees in the morning and stuff, 30 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,320 Speaker 1: it's all right to be done for this. Yeah, it's 31 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 1: got to be very chilly up in the Dakotas hunting 32 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: in the late season. Um, I thought. I kept thinking 33 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 1: and telling myself that if I could somehow managed to 34 00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: kill holy Field early in the month, I could still 35 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: muster up a eight season North Dakota hunt. But I 36 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 1: did think, man if I did that, I bet just 37 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 1: just gonna be arctic. Um those late season hunts that 38 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,640 Speaker 1: they've got to be pretty brutal, right, yes, And it's 39 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: like not so much the cold all the time. It's 40 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 1: like the wind is that's what gets you. So if 41 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: you're fifteen ft but tree, it's even worse. So that 42 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 1: makes late season hunts here pretty rough. But if if 43 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 1: you were doing that mark. If you were to take 44 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 1: off for Ohio or North Dakota right now, you know, 45 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 1: mid December, what would your speed scouting and your setups 46 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: look like. You know, say, these are areas that you're 47 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 1: not familiar with, and you're just going to hunt, you know, 48 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:43,959 Speaker 1: for the first time in a month in some of 49 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: these places, in some of these places. Yeah, well, um, 50 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 1: you know my plan right now would be to you know, 51 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 1: hunt the cold fronts. So I'd be waiting for the 52 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: right conditions. I think your your typical late season conditions 53 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 1: that you want would be a really really cold type 54 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: of temperature day, those big cold fronts where you see 55 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:09,079 Speaker 1: ten degrees are more colder than usual below average temperatures 56 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 1: are what you really want. Um. And then I think 57 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,079 Speaker 1: that the best days are those where you get the 58 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: winds kind of dying down after that front, your high pressure, 59 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: high barometric pressure. Um. If you can get those types 60 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 1: of conditions and then maybe even some snow on the ground, 61 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: you know, that should be in an ideal type of situation. 62 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 1: So that's what I'm kind of gunning for it this 63 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 1: time of year. I'm looking for those conditions either here 64 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: in Michigan or as you mentioned down Ohio. Um, when 65 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: you get those conditions, then I'd be planning on trying 66 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 1: to get into my best spots. And so you mentioned 67 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: what kind of scouting would I do. Um, I would 68 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:49,119 Speaker 1: be doing some you know, trail camera scouting if I can. Um. So, 69 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 1: right now, I've got troilt cameras set up on the 70 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: edge of food sources, on the edge of late season 71 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 1: food sources in places that I can easily get to them. Um. 72 00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 1: So if it's here, you know, on my home spots 73 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: in Michigan, again, I can drive my truck or my 74 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 1: four wheeler right to the edge of a cut corn 75 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 1: field or food plot and check a trail camera. They're 76 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 1: very low impact in the middle of the day. Um. 77 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 1: Or you know, in a perfect scenario, you could have 78 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 1: a cell phone trail camera, you know, for my out 79 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,280 Speaker 1: of state spots. Unfortunately, my my cell cameras don't work 80 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:20,279 Speaker 1: right now, so I'm blind in that regard. Um. But 81 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 1: you know, I wouldn't be doing a whole lot more 82 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 1: than that. The only other thing I would do. No, 83 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,159 Speaker 1: I can't do this in Ohio just because of the 84 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: set up and because it's far from home. But I 85 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 1: do this in one of my Michigan spots is some 86 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: long distance scouting, you know, glassing from a hilltop or 87 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: way off from the distance, just to get eyes under 88 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 1: and see. You know. I just think that with these 89 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 1: mature bucks in a lot of situations at this point, 90 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 1: they're not going to um, they won't have the patients 91 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,279 Speaker 1: for hunting pressure. So if you go in there and 92 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 1: bump them once, um, you know, there's a good chance 93 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 1: that he just might not come back out there in daylight. 94 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,039 Speaker 1: So I think you need to wait to strike, even 95 00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 1: more so maybe at this time of the year than 96 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 1: any other, simply because you're not gonna get many second chances. 97 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 1: So if you can glass from a long distance and see, okay, 98 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 1: yes the buck I'm after or amature buck is coming 99 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,280 Speaker 1: out in this spot, um, then you know, okay, yeah, 100 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 1: it's time to go in there. But if you're bumbling 101 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 1: in there every day, I think you blow your chances 102 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,919 Speaker 1: of success for the future. So um, that's kind of 103 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 1: what I would typically do. UM. I don't think I'm 104 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: gonna pull off the North Dakota hunt, like I mentioned 105 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,600 Speaker 1: in Michigan. That's what I've tried to do. I waited 106 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 1: for this big coal front the hit last week. UM, 107 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,480 Speaker 1: I was hoping that that would get holy Field on 108 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: his feet. UM. Unfortunately didn't. I hunted a couple of 109 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 1: different spots with nice cold temperatures, we had snow on 110 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 1: the ground. UM. I was hunting late season food. I 111 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,040 Speaker 1: hadn't been in there and almost a month, and uh man, 112 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,720 Speaker 1: it was just really really disappointing. Did not see him. 113 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 1: Didn't see any bucks. Um every night, just saw some does. 114 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 1: So that's unfortunately the late season in Michigan. A lot 115 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 1: of times there's just been a almost a month of 116 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: firearm on and going on here to this point. So 117 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 1: these these deer have been kind of beaten into submission. 118 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 1: So I think a lot of these bucks just go 119 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 1: underground at this point. UM. So that's that's the cards 120 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: I'm dealing with right now. UM. I hunted uh four 121 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 1: or five times I think over the last like seven days, 122 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 1: trying to take advantage of this these good conditions hasn't 123 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 1: worked out. So I think I'm gonna pull back out 124 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,719 Speaker 1: and wait until I see another really good set of 125 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 1: conditions coming down the line. Hopefully we get some really 126 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 1: cool temperatures or a bunch of snow maybe next week 127 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,280 Speaker 1: or something like that and if that happens, it might 128 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 1: be worth going in again, but I don't want to risk, 129 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,840 Speaker 1: you know, bumping in there too much now that I know, 130 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 1: you know, there hasn't been a daylight activity yet, these 131 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: conditions haven't gotten moving, so I'm just waiting for for 132 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: a better reason now. So that's my two cents on 133 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,160 Speaker 1: at least. Yeah, I would agree that you just need 134 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 1: to have some patience for a little longer because if 135 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,039 Speaker 1: you bump a deer at this point, you probably aren't 136 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 1: gonna see him again until eighteen. So it's a tough 137 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: time to be aggressive. But are their contacts and reports 138 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 1: we have this week? Or Bryce Lamley from Sitka Gear 139 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 1: and Nebraska that we talked to, Dan Weeks in Michigan 140 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:08,919 Speaker 1: from Nature's Pride Texas or me and then we go 141 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 1: to Texas and from White Tailed Diaries is Wade Middleton, 142 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 1: And then we talked to Josh Honeycutt in Kentucky from 143 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: Real Tree. That sounds like a great slate folks talk to. 144 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: I'll be interested to see how how everyone's doing. Hopefully 145 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: there's more good news than uh what I had to share, 146 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: since I haven't had any good news to share, But 147 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 1: is there, Spencer, are some people looking forward to something 148 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: good or is it all want want want stuff. It's 149 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 1: mostly for the people in the Midwest and areas like 150 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 1: that that are just waiting for weather, maybe some cold 151 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 1: and snow to to heard these deer help and put 152 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 1: them on you know, easy to pattern bed to food areas. 153 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 1: And then when we talked to Wade in Texas, it's 154 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 1: like the peak rout down there, so that's something we 155 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 1: haven't heard in like a month now, so that that's 156 00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 1: fun to talk to him about that because that's that's 157 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 1: really full and it feels like a whole other country. 158 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 1: So well, I'm excited to hear and um, I guess 159 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: I should probably just shut up now and let you 160 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 1: take it from here. Sound good, Spenser, sounds good? With 161 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 1: next week mark before we get to our first update, though, 162 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 1: let's positive than our sponsors at Sitka year and for 163 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 1: this week's sit story, we're joined by Caleb White out 164 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 1: of Nebraska, who tells us about an unconventional yet successful 165 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 1: white tail hunt. So one of my favorite stories in 166 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 1: Best Bucks to date comes from public land hunt in 167 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:36,680 Speaker 1: Nebraska that I connected with on my bow right before 168 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 1: the rifle season growing up in Nebraska. It's fun to 169 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 1: chase white tails, especially spot stocking, which isn't easy and 170 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 1: especially on public land. And the story goes um I 171 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 1: was hunting through this goalie and came to an intersection 172 00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 1: t and I looked down towards the right, right before 173 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,559 Speaker 1: where the sun is coming up aero knock, ready to 174 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 1: draw back at a moment's notice in this hut in 175 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 1: white tailed dog and a dough stepped out of my 176 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:15,359 Speaker 1: peripheral vision to the left and just happened to pass by. 177 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 1: I stop him drawback, and not knowing how far it was, 178 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 1: he was within that twenty yard range true instantly and 179 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 1: it's instinctively drew back on him and let a narrow 180 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 1: lease and it ended up long star short being my 181 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 1: best buck to day with a bow on public land 182 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 1: in Nebraska. On Caleb's hunt, he was wearing sick a 183 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 1: traverse top and bottom. If you'd like to create a 184 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 1: sick of story of your own, or to learn more 185 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:50,839 Speaker 1: about Sitka's technical hunting apparel, visit Sitka gear dot com. Alright, 186 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 1: and joining this on the line first in Nebraska, a 187 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 1: Sitka gear Swatneimer Bryce Lanley now Bryce in Nebraska what 188 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 1: would you say the bucket activity has been lately a 189 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 1: scale of one to ten. I'd say five, which is 190 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:08,320 Speaker 1: actually pretty good for post rifle Nebraska this time of year. Well, 191 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 1: our rifle season ended November nineteenth, and and it really 192 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:16,559 Speaker 1: seems to change the landscape around here in the deer 193 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,720 Speaker 1: really spooky and and they've been chased quite a bit, 194 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: and they've seen a lot of hunting pressure. And then 195 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 1: now the UM muzzle voter season starts December has started 196 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 1: December one, and so the must voters and the bow 197 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 1: hunters are both in the field right now. And I 198 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 1: just think that there's, you know, been so much activity 199 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 1: lately that it always seems a little taking a little 200 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 1: while for the deer to kind of start returning to 201 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 1: normal habits, even though the activity seems to drop off 202 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,560 Speaker 1: a bit. Have you heard of any success there from 203 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 1: any of your contexts in Nebraska. Yeah, we've had. I 204 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:51,439 Speaker 1: mean I know several bow hunters who scored during the 205 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 1: rifle season. Right afterwards, UM buddy of mine killed a 206 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 1: nice one twenty, which is pretty good for his area. 207 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,679 Speaker 1: UM after rifle, and then another buddy months stick bow 208 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,959 Speaker 1: guy down by Lincoln killed a really nice matur one 209 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:08,200 Speaker 1: seven inch six by six Uh this this last Sunday, 210 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,200 Speaker 1: and it was following some doughes, he said, it wasn't 211 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 1: really chasing them, but it was certainly following some does. 212 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:15,960 Speaker 1: And so yeah, I think there's still a lot of 213 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 1: reason to be out in the field. Well, as we 214 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,839 Speaker 1: get into this late season, what are some of your 215 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 1: favorite food sources to focus on in the agriculture state 216 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 1: like Nebraska. Well, corn, Uh, we don't. We don't see 217 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 1: as much beans here in eastern Nebraska as we used 218 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 1: to and hardly see any milo And I think if 219 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,200 Speaker 1: you went further west you'd see one of that. But 220 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 1: one of the things that might make late season hunting 221 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,320 Speaker 1: better this year than normal is that we had the 222 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 1: two really big windstorms in in the um in the 223 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 1: latter stages of the harvest, and that put a ton 224 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 1: of corn on the ground that farmers were not able 225 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,960 Speaker 1: to harvest. And so if that was a situation in 226 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 1: your area, there's a lot of corn on the ground 227 00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,199 Speaker 1: and if the farmers didn't just that ground up right, 228 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:04,320 Speaker 1: provide some really good late season hunting. What do you 229 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 1: prefer hunting just the evenings this time of year? Do 230 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,560 Speaker 1: you have some morning setups that you think work. I 231 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 1: think both, but I it just seems to me like 232 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,439 Speaker 1: the mornings are more hit and miss and the evenings 233 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 1: are a little bit more consistent. And so sometimes I think, 234 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 1: you know, if you're usually trying to get in between 235 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 1: the the you know, deer when they're returning to their 236 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,840 Speaker 1: beds in the morning, and you and you screw that up, 237 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 1: you also probably messed up your evening hunt, and so 238 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 1: you have to be really careful, which is you know, 239 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 1: obviously the case any time of a year, but I 240 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 1: think especially so this time of years, it's very feast 241 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 1: for famine, and so you know, if my guy might 242 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:41,319 Speaker 1: feel a little lazy saying, well, I'm gonna wait till 243 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 1: the evening, it's gonna be forty five degrees in anyway, 244 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 1: but it might be the smartest move morning hunts. I 245 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,439 Speaker 1: think again, keep in mind that you you've got to 246 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 1: be really stealthy and maybe also keep in mind which 247 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,319 Speaker 1: direction the sun is, and so if the deal has 248 00:12:55,320 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 1: a preference, um, it might be wanting to go, um, 249 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 1: put the sun to his back so we can better 250 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,080 Speaker 1: see where he's going. Um. That's another thing to kind 251 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 1: of consider with your morning setups. I think, are there 252 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,319 Speaker 1: any aggressive rout tactics that you use this time of 253 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 1: year as far as calling, grunting decoy and hunting scrapes? 254 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:20,320 Speaker 1: You know, myself not so much, but some of the 255 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 1: guys I correspond with a lot to you know, yeah, 256 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 1: the decoy. One guy takes decoy out all the time 257 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 1: and gets a lot of activity with it. And I 258 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 1: think sometimes you know, um like, even in a field 259 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 1: hunting situation, having a decoy out there gives the deer 260 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,440 Speaker 1: something else to look at and maybe get let's you 261 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 1: get by with a little bit more movement when there's 262 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:42,960 Speaker 1: not as many leaves on the trees and that type 263 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 1: of thing. We are seeing too that there's still some 264 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:49,559 Speaker 1: rut action. We saw our trail cameras between December one 265 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 1: and ten were full of pictures, including pictures of new 266 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,080 Speaker 1: bucks that have come in that we haven't seen all year. 267 00:13:56,120 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 1: And so I think there is still enough rutting activity 268 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:04,560 Speaker 1: that the grunts are working and snort weez, you know, 269 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 1: when when appropriate. And again we've talked a lot of 270 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 1: times about how if a deer is if a deer 271 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 1: is um aware of what's going on or has sniffed 272 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,720 Speaker 1: something we don't call it those deer at all. But 273 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 1: if a deer is unaware, um, we think the snort 274 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 1: wee's and the ground is still pretty good going forward. 275 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 1: Then in this next week or so, what do you 276 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 1: think that bucket ATVT is going to be on a 277 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 1: scale of one to ten? In Nebraska? I still say five, 278 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 1: partially because I think we've still got a few a 279 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 1: little bit of rud action, but we just don't have 280 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 1: the the cold weather yet and it's just not happening 281 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 1: in the long range forecast. Doesn't look like it's going 282 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 1: to really get dip down either. That said, if we 283 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 1: get some cold weather, I think you can still get 284 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 1: up to a six or seven, um, because there's so 285 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 1: much h corn on the ground still hear in lots 286 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 1: of eastern Nebraska. All right, Bryce, great intail and thanks 287 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 1: for your time, So thank you alright and joining us 288 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 1: on the line. Next in Michigan is Dan Weeks, the 289 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 1: owner of Nature's Pride Taxa. Now, Dan, in Michigan, what 290 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 1: would you say the bucket activity has been lately on 291 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 1: a scale of one to ten? Say? For the yeah, 292 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 1: for right now with the muzzleload season that's been going 293 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 1: on probably about I think we're about just over a 294 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,280 Speaker 1: week into it. Um I would compare to a lot 295 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 1: of the other seasons, I'm saying that we're right about 296 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 1: a seven I would think right now for buck activity. 297 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 1: The reason being is there's a lot of times we'll 298 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 1: go through a entire two week month load and season 299 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 1: and maybe take in a half a dozen eight good 300 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 1: mature bucks. And we've been taken in pretty consistently about 301 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 1: two to three nice bucks every day, so and and 302 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 1: they've all been in that three and a half four 303 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,120 Speaker 1: and a half year old range. And so I would 304 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 1: say right now at ten compared to most muslevel the seasons, 305 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 1: out of ten, i'd say a seven right now. Now, 306 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 1: have you noticed any kind of pattern with those bucks 307 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 1: that are coming in as far as what the hunters 308 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 1: are doing? Yeah, you know, Spencer, what I've been seeing. 309 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 1: And I asked every guy that brings in the deer, 310 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,040 Speaker 1: I asked them, you know, different questions, what time, what 311 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 1: was the deer doing? What we where were you sitting, 312 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 1: what kind of habitat? Were you on the edge of 313 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 1: a field and swamp? The majority of the guys that 314 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:17,800 Speaker 1: are shooting the nice bucks are right now are on 315 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 1: the edge of bean fields cut being fields. Um, you 316 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 1: don't see many many standing crops right now. They're pretty 317 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 1: much cut. But we have probably fifty fifty of corn 318 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 1: and beans beans as far as kind of our area 319 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 1: here in southern Michigan. But the majority of them are 320 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 1: set up a long, thick cover but on the edge 321 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 1: of a cut being field. And right now it's been 322 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 1: evening hunts that the guys have been harvesting their deer. 323 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 1: So I would say, you know, right now, that's the 324 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 1: pattern I'm kind of seeing as the last probably fifteen 325 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 1: minutes of light um in the majority of the bucks 326 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 1: that have been killed lately have been uh seen with 327 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 1: those with groups of bells, usually two or more doughs. 328 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 1: So we had another nights from Broadway last night the 329 00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 1: same thing. Guy was in a hederow deer two mature 330 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 1: bucks came out, came out of a thick swamp and 331 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,439 Speaker 1: came into a bean field and it was with a 332 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,920 Speaker 1: big group of doos. So it's been pretty consistent that way. Um. 333 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 1: I know a lot of guys can't hunt till evening 334 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 1: right now because the word but I seemed like the 335 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 1: evening hunts a long bean fields are really what's up. 336 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 1: Its been good for the guys. Have you noticed any 337 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 1: kind of trend then with public land hunters or is 338 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,919 Speaker 1: it kind of the same setups for them? Well, we 339 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,439 Speaker 1: don't have a lot of public land in this area. Uh, 340 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,400 Speaker 1: there's one piece that's a couple of thousand acres. It's 341 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 1: probably an hour northeast of here. So I don't get 342 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 1: many hunters that you know, to to talk to them 343 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 1: about public land. So I'm saying almost a hundred percent 344 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 1: of all the deer being brought into our shop right 345 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 1: now our private land, and it's you know, within an 346 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:47,680 Speaker 1: hour of where we are here in south central Michigan. 347 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,679 Speaker 1: But so yeah, I don't get a lot of information 348 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 1: from public land. It's because we don't really have out 349 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 1: here in southern Michigan. Well, based on where the deer 350 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 1: are betting and feeding right now, do you think lots 351 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 1: going to change in these next three weeks or still 352 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 1: or do you think that will remain pretty consistent. I 353 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 1: think it's going to be remaining pretty consistent. Um, you 354 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,440 Speaker 1: know a lot of seasons this late we don't have 355 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 1: the cold and snow, but here in Mission we've had 356 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:13,720 Speaker 1: the cold and snow, so that has forced them to, 357 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,199 Speaker 1: you know, kind of change your patterns and come to 358 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 1: the beans and the corn, mostly the beans. But I 359 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:22,080 Speaker 1: think the ruts still really going on pretty decent, not 360 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:23,960 Speaker 1: you know, not great. You don't see the little guys 361 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,639 Speaker 1: doing doing much, but uh, you know a lot of 362 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:28,360 Speaker 1: guys have a lot of the hunters have been still 363 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 1: seeing uh bucks chasing those and with those I've seen 364 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:35,439 Speaker 1: open myself, I've actually noticed open scrapes that were being 365 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,119 Speaker 1: opened up in the snow, scrapes that haven't been opened 366 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,119 Speaker 1: up in three to four, probably three weeks um, so 367 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 1: that that activity start, you know, that's still continuing right now. 368 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,480 Speaker 1: So I really don't see a change in the pattern, 369 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,240 Speaker 1: especially with the for us, we have the snows that's 370 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 1: gonna stick for a while and these cold temperatures, So 371 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 1: I think, uh, you know, I think that's it's kind 372 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 1: of speaking for itself with what these guys are bringing 373 00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 1: in and that these last for us. We think next 374 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 1: Sunday is the last day or month loading season. So 375 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:04,679 Speaker 1: I think for southern Michigan it's you know, still a 376 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,159 Speaker 1: really good opportunity for hunters to get out there and 377 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 1: get a chance to tag a good buck. Going forward, 378 00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:11,639 Speaker 1: then in the next week or so, Dan, what do 379 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 1: you think that bucket activity is going to be on 380 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,359 Speaker 1: the scale of one to ten, one to ten, I 381 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 1: would say probably gonna go down a little, maybe two 382 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 1: of five or six. That's my that's kind of my 383 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,159 Speaker 1: personal opinion and what we've seen in the past, and 384 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 1: just because I think the rut is going to probably 385 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 1: in the last few days of it, and so for 386 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,440 Speaker 1: the next week ten days, I'd say it's gonna go 387 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 1: down from a seven now to probably a five or six. 388 00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:36,880 Speaker 1: All right, Dan, Well, I hope you get a chance 389 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:38,879 Speaker 1: to get out yourself and maybe take advantage of that 390 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 1: muzzleloader season. Thanks for joining me. Yep, thank you, Spencer. 391 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 1: Good luck to you. Before we get to our next collar, 392 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 1: they'll let's pause for a word from our sponsors at 393 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 1: white Tail Properties. This week. With white Tail Properties, we 394 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,920 Speaker 1: are drawn by Blake Farah, a land specialist out of Texas, 395 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,440 Speaker 1: and Blake gets me telling us about what white tail 396 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 1: hunters should know before planning a Texas hunt. You know, 397 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:07,159 Speaker 1: I think the probably one of the biggest misconception I 398 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 1: guess about hunting in Texas is that they've seen one 399 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 1: or two hunts on TV and they assume that's the 400 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,960 Speaker 1: entire state of Texas, and I would tell you that, Uh, 401 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,360 Speaker 1: you know, one of the great one of the greatest 402 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 1: things about hunting in Texas the massive amount of diversity 403 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 1: that you have depending on your geographical location in the state, 404 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,880 Speaker 1: So you can have any different experience as far as 405 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,520 Speaker 1: white tail hunting goes all across the state. It kind 406 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 1: of functions as four or five separate states entirely according 407 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:38,879 Speaker 1: to habitat, location, topography, terrain. Uh, you know, all of 408 00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,919 Speaker 1: those things that you would kind of classify the Midwest 409 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 1: or you know, even farther out west doing some Elkhonts 410 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,120 Speaker 1: or something like that. And Texas has such a big 411 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 1: diversity of things that you can really find really whatever 412 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,720 Speaker 1: experience you're looking for, and just driving two or three 413 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:56,119 Speaker 1: hours in any given direction, you can have completely different 414 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,160 Speaker 1: types of hunting. I'd say the main regions of Texas 415 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 1: can kind of break down into what everybody knows. In 416 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 1: South Texas's kind of South San Antonio characterized by the 417 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:10,199 Speaker 1: classic South Texas brush country, big wide, tall white tails, 418 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,639 Speaker 1: very mature. You can have great age structure because the 419 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 1: ranches are huge. You've also got kind of the panhandle 420 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 1: where it's more of the kind of the Kansas Oklahoma 421 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 1: strain of white tail, a little bit more of the 422 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 1: river break country, big draws, big cuts, wide open country. 423 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:27,360 Speaker 1: You've also got West Texas with huge canyons, um a 424 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 1: lot more of the spot and stock type country out there. 425 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,200 Speaker 1: And then you've also got East Texas where you've got 426 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,639 Speaker 1: huge timber and you've got large timber stands and you 427 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:37,919 Speaker 1: could actually have and grow some crops and have some 428 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:41,199 Speaker 1: tillable and uh, you know, just a huge diversity across 429 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 1: the state.

I mean, we're 439 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:17,680 Speaker 1: seeing new deer every day right now, very active um 440 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 1: as far as you know, showing themselves some daylight hours 441 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 1: with every hunter loves and seeing a lot of chase 442 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:28,439 Speaker 1: in activity, you know, both by immature bucks and mature buck.

But you know, I 449 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 1: would look at the places that I've been seeing in 450 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 1: the last couple of days as being in the peak 451 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,280 Speaker 1: right now, um, just based on the activity. I mean, 452 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 1: yesterday we had a ten point buck, you know, breeding 453 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,239 Speaker 1: a dough he extra try breeder twice and got her 454 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 1: the third time. And you know we're seeing deer on 455 00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,640 Speaker 1: our scouting cameras where they're running them and just very 456 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 1: active all the way around. So you know, I'm gonna 457 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 1: have to say we're right at the peak at least 458 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 1: in the area that I've seen. But you know, Texas 459 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,160 Speaker 1: is such a big, vast area, and you know, when 460 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 1: I may be seen it on one end of a pasture, 461 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:18,439 Speaker 1: it may not be going on on the other or 462 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:20,880 Speaker 1: the other end of the county, so I always keep 463 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,240 Speaker 1: that in mind when i'm, you know, looking at hunting 464 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 1: this time of the year. Well, you just referenced trail cameras. 465 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 1: What are you doing with your game cameras this time 466 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 1: of year? Do you move them off of feeders and 467 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 1: into other areas or is it the same things it's 468 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:36,680 Speaker 1: been for the last month. I keep moving them all 469 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,040 Speaker 1: the time. I mean, of course, I'm I'm a trail 470 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,720 Speaker 1: cam junkie. I mean I literally will run as many 471 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:45,439 Speaker 1: as forty cameras at a time, espacially in the early season. 472 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:48,679 Speaker 1: This time of the year, I'm probably running because you know, 473 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,439 Speaker 1: we've got so much going on, and I move them daily. 474 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:54,359 Speaker 1: I mean I moved them sometimes half the day, just 475 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 1: trying to find something new, trying to find something that's 476 00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 1: going on. Um and you know, we're hunting about eteen 477 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 1: thousand acres out here right now, so that gives us 478 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,120 Speaker 1: the ability to do that and move around a lot. 479 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,160 Speaker 1: I may meve moving on the food plots. I've got 480 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,680 Speaker 1: something I just moved this morning to a pipeline trying 481 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,320 Speaker 1: to look for a thirty buck. And you know, Texas 482 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 1: is known for running around corn feders. I always keep 483 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:19,320 Speaker 1: some around thirty corn feeders for protein on demand protein feeders, 484 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 1: so I can, you know, just gaze the activity, see 485 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:23,879 Speaker 1: what they're doing, see what they're hitting, and see how 486 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,879 Speaker 1: they're acting. Running that many trail cameras and do you 487 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,159 Speaker 1: still find some new bucks that show up during the 488 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 1: route that you didn't know about. Oh that's the beauty 489 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 1: of you know where we're at. I'm always surprised. We 490 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,359 Speaker 1: had a deer just recently show up. Never seen it 491 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:42,000 Speaker 1: before in my life. We've hunted the pipeline, uh, you 492 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:45,479 Speaker 1: know for almost ten years, and I always have a 493 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:48,880 Speaker 1: camera in this area, very religious about it. We hunt 494 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 1: that area and then low my hole, you know, a 495 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:54,399 Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, pull the card and there's a giant, 496 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 1: big old eight point long G twos and three has 497 00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,720 Speaker 1: never seen you before, six year old probably deer. And 498 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 1: that's why I run them, because I you know, you 499 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 1: never know what's gonna show up this time of year. 500 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,399 Speaker 1: Don't know where that deer came from or what caused 501 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 1: him to show up on that stand, but he's there. 502 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 1: The way to believe you guys just got some snow 503 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,720 Speaker 1: down there recently, and such a foreign weather pattern for 504 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:17,920 Speaker 1: your dear, How do you think that changes things, if 505 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:21,679 Speaker 1: it changes things at all, Well, I gotta admit that 506 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:23,879 Speaker 1: I'm pretty safe. So when that snow rolled in, it 507 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:25,640 Speaker 1: was it was dust to beat even want to get 508 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,480 Speaker 1: out there. And I've always said that deer in this 509 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 1: part of the world, when he gets too cold, they 510 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,280 Speaker 1: actually don't like to move at that time. And people 511 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 1: roll their eyes when I say that, because they're so 512 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,200 Speaker 1: accustoms like good cold snap making a lot of those 513 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 1: deer move, And it does, but I think it moves 514 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 1: them later in the day A lot of times here 515 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:47,200 Speaker 1: because they're just not used to temperatures below thirty two. 516 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 1: We maybe see that type of temperature range four or five, 517 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,040 Speaker 1: you know, days a year in the in the early 518 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 1: season and late season we may see a little bit more. So, um, 519 00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 1: it definitely affects them a little bit, but it doesn't 520 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 1: take I mean, infectas you just got away a few 521 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,400 Speaker 1: hours and we're gonna be back in in pretty mild conditions. 522 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,560 Speaker 1: Are you hunting pretty aggressive? Then? Right now using some 523 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:12,520 Speaker 1: calling and decoing strategies. Rattling, I mean to sun up 524 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 1: the sundown and go rattling, because that's my favorite way 525 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:19,200 Speaker 1: to aggressively hunt um cover a lot of ground, try 526 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,560 Speaker 1: to get in different places, be at betting areas, feeding areas, 527 00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 1: areas where I know that there's a lot of actos 528 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 1: in there, and uh, and in banging the antlers. I mean, 529 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 1: it's just even if I'm only rattling and teenager, you know, 530 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,480 Speaker 1: from the standpoint of one to three year old bucks, 531 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 1: just the way they react, on the way they come. 532 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,679 Speaker 1: Definitely mixing a little bit of grunting, but mostly I 533 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 1: hit the antlers and I have them really hard. I'm 534 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 1: I'm a very rested rattler this time of the year. 535 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,440 Speaker 1: I mean I will bing into the trees. I kicked 536 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 1: the rocks. You know, I want to look like two 537 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,200 Speaker 1: mature bucks. I want to sound like two mature bucks 538 00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:54,919 Speaker 1: out there. And Saturday, this past Saturday, we actually rattled 539 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,640 Speaker 1: one in for a hang gun hunter Tony Meeley from 540 00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,760 Speaker 1: US Smith West Performance Center, and it seem gonna be 541 00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:02,960 Speaker 1: he had to shoot that deer that they was gonna 542 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,399 Speaker 1: take me out because he take me in on a 543 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,160 Speaker 1: dead run with just i mean fire in his eyes. 544 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 1: Going forward, then in this next week or so, what 545 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 1: do you think that buck activity is going to be 546 00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:16,159 Speaker 1: on a scale of one to ten in Texas, I 547 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,119 Speaker 1: think you're still going to be in a phenomenal a 548 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:21,480 Speaker 1: movement pattern seven to nine. I mean, it's like you said, 549 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,520 Speaker 1: I hate the fucking absolute that we're just setting up 550 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:26,200 Speaker 1: in the time of the year when the deer are 551 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:29,360 Speaker 1: are moving. You're still gonna be some good chasing going on, 552 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,440 Speaker 1: and uh, the guys are gonna have success to get 553 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,240 Speaker 1: out in hunt hard. All right, Wade, Well, I like 554 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:38,439 Speaker 1: your optimism and good luck going forward. Thanks for joining me. 555 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:42,440 Speaker 1: Sounds good. I appreciate it. Thanks Peter, alright and joining 556 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:44,840 Speaker 1: us on the line. Next is the deer editor for 557 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:48,360 Speaker 1: Real Tree, Josh Honeycutt. Now, Josh in Kentucky, what would 558 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,359 Speaker 1: you say the buck activity has been lately on a 559 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 1: skill of one to ten. Well, daylight activity has been 560 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 1: really good. I would say just just pure daylight activity 561 00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:01,960 Speaker 1: has probably been about US seven uh, seven to a eight. 562 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,920 Speaker 1: With all this cold weather, this cold front that we've 563 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 1: had pushed through the last few days. As far as 564 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:11,919 Speaker 1: rud activity, that has significantly declined down to like a 565 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 1: probably a two uh this time of year. What is 566 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:19,359 Speaker 1: that seven for daylight movement? Is that what you'd expect 567 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 1: to see in mid December like this. Well, if as 568 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,080 Speaker 1: long as we get the weather, it really all just 569 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,080 Speaker 1: comes down to the weather. If you get the weather, 570 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,560 Speaker 1: you get the movement. Uh, you know, And right now 571 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,240 Speaker 1: we've I've been out quite a bit for the last 572 00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:35,800 Speaker 1: six six to seven days. I've not personally been hunting, 573 00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,640 Speaker 1: but I've been taking the first time deer hunters I was. 574 00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:42,400 Speaker 1: Fortunately i filled my buck tag earlier in the season, 575 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:44,720 Speaker 1: so I've just been kind of hanging out and taking people. 576 00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 1: And I've been seeing a lot of deer on their feet, 577 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:49,200 Speaker 1: a lot of deer on their feet, a lot of 578 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,280 Speaker 1: deer moving like set it's probably about seven to eight 579 00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:53,480 Speaker 1: and I would expect that this time of year as 580 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,160 Speaker 1: long as we have whether to encourage those deer up 581 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:59,040 Speaker 1: during daylight. Well, what are some of your favorite setups 582 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 1: and to catch some of the day like movement. Well, 583 00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,800 Speaker 1: every situation is different. Um. I try not to get 584 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 1: pigeonholed into any particular tactic. I like to read whatever 585 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:12,800 Speaker 1: situation I'm in and kind of analyze it, uh and 586 00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 1: figure out what the best approach is gonna be. But 587 00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:17,760 Speaker 1: on the average, you know, the typical set up, I 588 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 1: don't hunt mornings as much of this time of year, Uh, 589 00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:23,040 Speaker 1: I kind of cut back on h the amount of 590 00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:26,320 Speaker 1: morning hunting unless I know there is a particular deer 591 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:28,920 Speaker 1: that I can kill on the morning. Huh. So every 592 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 1: situation is different, but uh, the average set up this 593 00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:34,800 Speaker 1: time of year is gonna be an afternoon hunt. It's 594 00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:37,800 Speaker 1: gonna be set up closer to food and bed uh 595 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 1: than the betting area. And you know, if if I'm hunting, 596 00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:42,600 Speaker 1: you know, if I hunted a day or two, if 597 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:44,640 Speaker 1: I already know that the deer aren't quite making it 598 00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:47,240 Speaker 1: to the food sources during daylight, then I kind of 599 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,680 Speaker 1: start eating back to one those betting areas. But this 600 00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,200 Speaker 1: time of year, you can rely on your early season 601 00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:55,440 Speaker 1: scouting uh to give you a little bit of a 602 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,400 Speaker 1: of a of a advantage when you go into your 603 00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:00,600 Speaker 1: late season scouting. Was a lot of time do your 604 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,600 Speaker 1: kind of revert to their uh early season and pre 605 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:06,600 Speaker 1: red patterns. So this time of you're focus on food. Uh, 606 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 1: get close to those betting areas if you have to, 607 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 1: but don't pressure the deer unless you just absolutely have 608 00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:15,760 Speaker 1: to get aggressive. Now, have you seen any secondary rut 609 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:17,960 Speaker 1: activity yet or do you think that's still to come 610 00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:22,960 Speaker 1: in Kentucky. Uh. Here in Kentucky, I've been I do 611 00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 1: hunt up in Ohio, and I've seen quite a bit 612 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,600 Speaker 1: up there, but not much here in Kentucky. The last 613 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:30,760 Speaker 1: few days, Um, I've been seeing a lot of bucks 614 00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 1: and does out of the fields together. No bucks. You know, 615 00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:37,000 Speaker 1: both the young bucks and uh more mature deer haven't 616 00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:40,080 Speaker 1: been seeing any bucks bumping does. Even the young bucks 617 00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:43,200 Speaker 1: haven't even seen them nudging does. Um. You know, I 618 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:48,240 Speaker 1: generally this time of year, somewhere between December five and 619 00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:52,960 Speaker 1: kind of ranges or varies because of somewhere between the 620 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,440 Speaker 1: fifth and the twenties, we typically see a pretty good 621 00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,640 Speaker 1: little burst of rud activity. Uh. And you know a 622 00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,280 Speaker 1: lot of those doughs that were missed to November, a 623 00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:03,360 Speaker 1: lot of your younger does that are just coming in 624 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:05,920 Speaker 1: nests for the first time if they reach that white 625 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,800 Speaker 1: threshold that they need to uh in order to do so. 626 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 1: I haven't seen that yet in Kentucky. So my gut 627 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:17,360 Speaker 1: tells me that it's still to come here in Kentucky. UM, 628 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,520 Speaker 1: I've been checking. Trull camera has been in the field 629 00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:23,200 Speaker 1: watching and I have not seen any evidence through either 630 00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:28,240 Speaker 1: of those uh. Scouting methods that we've hit that second rut. Uh. 631 00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:31,640 Speaker 1: My guess is that's gonna happen sometime uh within the 632 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,720 Speaker 1: next eight to nine days. Probably a little sooner than that, 633 00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:37,480 Speaker 1: probably within the next three or four days. Um, but 634 00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,280 Speaker 1: you just never know for sure. We've talked a lot 635 00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:42,440 Speaker 1: about food sources so far, and what are your some 636 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:44,920 Speaker 1: of your favorite food sources in that area to focus 637 00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:49,240 Speaker 1: on in December. Well, you know, I'm I'm in an area. 638 00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:51,680 Speaker 1: I'm in south central Kentucky, so I'm kind of blessed 639 00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,320 Speaker 1: without a lot of agriculture around here. So it makes 640 00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:56,600 Speaker 1: things a little bit easier than if you're hunting the 641 00:31:56,600 --> 00:32:00,200 Speaker 1: big woods of eastern Kentucky, you know, in the out 642 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,600 Speaker 1: in this terrain over there in the foothills of the Appalachians. 643 00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:04,440 Speaker 1: It's a little bit different style of hunting. So again, 644 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,360 Speaker 1: it's just kind of it kind of falls back to 645 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:09,440 Speaker 1: the specific style of hunting that you that you have 646 00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:13,160 Speaker 1: where I'm at, I'm focusing on sore beans, um corn 647 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:15,680 Speaker 1: uh and and this time of the year that can 648 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 1: either be cut beans and cut corn. As long as 649 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:20,600 Speaker 1: those enough wastecreen on the ground that the deer still 650 00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:24,080 Speaker 1: hitting those maybe your the farmer had a combine that's 651 00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:26,720 Speaker 1: not as new and some hit the ground or it 652 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,640 Speaker 1: was damaged crops, and you know which was led to 653 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,400 Speaker 1: more of it hitting the ground. But this time of years, 654 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:35,640 Speaker 1: standing beings, standing corn, If you've got that, then that's 655 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:38,080 Speaker 1: the ticket. UM. A lot of people who planting food. 656 00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:41,360 Speaker 1: Plus these days, I really like brass, the coast turnips, radishes, 657 00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:44,440 Speaker 1: uh this time of year because of the gluecoast levels 658 00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,280 Speaker 1: and those are you know, skyrocketing from them, the colder 659 00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:49,920 Speaker 1: temperatures and the deer really hitting those hard. Uh. And 660 00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:51,800 Speaker 1: don't forget to go naturally, you know, I think in 661 00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:55,680 Speaker 1: today's age, a lot of deer hunters forget to focus 662 00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:59,600 Speaker 1: on natural um native brows, you know, this time of 663 00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:02,000 Speaker 1: year that what they naturally live off of. They'll live 664 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:05,200 Speaker 1: off of the remaining hard mass crops that's still on 665 00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:07,680 Speaker 1: the ground, which we didn't have a ton of at 666 00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:09,520 Speaker 1: least in the area that I'm in this year. So 667 00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:11,880 Speaker 1: I wouldn't expect for them to be focusing on too 668 00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:15,480 Speaker 1: much on acorns. But you know, it's just woody Brown's, 669 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:17,560 Speaker 1: you know, just getting back to the basics. You don't 670 00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:20,240 Speaker 1: forget that too, So focus on act if you forgot it. 671 00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:22,240 Speaker 1: But if you don't have it, focus on the native brows. 672 00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:23,840 Speaker 1: Get up there a get boots on the ground, do 673 00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:25,760 Speaker 1: a little bit of low impact scouting, can figure out 674 00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,920 Speaker 1: where the deer are feeding up going forward. Then this 675 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:30,960 Speaker 1: next week or so, Josh, what do you think that 676 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,160 Speaker 1: buck activity is going to be on the skill of 677 00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:36,760 Speaker 1: one to ten in Kentucky. I think it's gonna it's 678 00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:38,800 Speaker 1: gonna die down a little bit in the middle of 679 00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:40,720 Speaker 1: this week because we're gonna hit a little bit of 680 00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,560 Speaker 1: a warm well. I think take that back that should 681 00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:47,719 Speaker 1: continue to climb. Uh. Just looked at the weather, so 682 00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:49,760 Speaker 1: excuse me there, miss Boke. I looked at the weather 683 00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:54,720 Speaker 1: this morning. The buck activity just in ship daylight, deer 684 00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:59,000 Speaker 1: activities should keep increasing, shoot, increase until probably Wednesday or 685 00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,800 Speaker 1: Thursday kind of peak out, and then it's probably gonna 686 00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:04,120 Speaker 1: fall off a little bit going into the weekend because 687 00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:06,160 Speaker 1: we're gonna be warming up. It's gonna warm up, get 688 00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:10,000 Speaker 1: back up towards the late the high forties, pushing towards 689 00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:14,239 Speaker 1: fifty down here in Kentucky towards Saturday Sunday. So I 690 00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:16,160 Speaker 1: would think if you can get out in the woods 691 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:19,040 Speaker 1: of an afternoon after work this week, do it because 692 00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:21,920 Speaker 1: the weekend may not be as good I was safe 693 00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:24,719 Speaker 1: for probably Wednesday Thursday. I'm gonna say it's probably gonna 694 00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:27,279 Speaker 1: be around eight eight and a half and uh then 695 00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:29,440 Speaker 1: towards the weekend it's probably gonna fall back down to 696 00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:32,640 Speaker 1: a five or six.
