Yeah, 77 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 6: and yeah, I've been out seven of the last eight 78 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 6: days here in Michigan, and uh yeah, I have been 79 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 6: seeing a lot, have been hunting myself and then also 80 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 6: mentoring a couple of new hunters for four of those days. 81 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 6: So yes, I've I've had some interesting, some interesting observations. 82 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 5: I can share whatever you want me to share. 83 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 2: I want to know how your mentor hunters did well. 84 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 6: We had a fun hunt. Unfortunately nobody killed a deer. 85 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 6: They were trying to kill their first deer with bo 86 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 6: both of them so didn't actually feel tagged. But they 87 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 6: both had their closest call ever with the deer. So 88 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 6: they both, you know, I think, had a really cool experience. 89 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 6: They both learned a lot, and both came. 90 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 2: Or just like from being in the woods, hopefully lit 91 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 2: it and both now we're poking fun. But I bet 92 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,839 Speaker 2: they were very appreciative to have you in the woods. 93 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 2: If nothing else, you spent a lot of time in 94 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 2: the woods, right, And are these kind of newer hunters? 95 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 6: Yeah, so these are two guys were who were new, 96 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,679 Speaker 6: brand new hunters two years ago and I was actually 97 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 6: with both of them when they killed their very first 98 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 6: year ever. This was a field to fork program that 99 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,839 Speaker 6: we host over on the back forty and so I 100 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 6: got to mentor both of them separately back in twenty one. 101 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 6: Both killed the first year with a gun, and then 102 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 6: the year and a half or two years since. I've 103 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 6: continued to stay in touch with them and try to 104 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,679 Speaker 6: help them on their journey. And we went out together 105 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 6: again last year, and then this year we came back 106 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:57,840 Speaker 6: to the Back forty and I was hopefully going to 107 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 6: give them that final training opportunity and I was hoping 108 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 6: we could get their first dear with the bowl now 109 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 6: that they've started bowl hunting, but didn't quite come together, 110 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:08,280 Speaker 6: but man, it was. 111 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 5: Close, as well as close as you can get. 112 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 3: That's cool. 113 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 2: Well, and if you're listening and you don't know what 114 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 2: the Back forty is, there was a series on media 115 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 2: that will link to in the show description that kind 116 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 2: of chronicled a little bit of the land stuff there 117 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,040 Speaker 2: on the Back forty for two years. 118 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,720 Speaker 5: I think, right, Mark, Yeah, two years. 119 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 2: And then now since then that property is being used 120 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,720 Speaker 2: for a lot of hunts, like what you're referring to. 121 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 3: So pretty cool deal. 122 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,280 Speaker 2: I actually saw in your story that y'all were out 123 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 2: there on the Back forty, and I. 124 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 3: Was like, oh, that's cool. I kind of put it together. 125 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 2: You know, I should have kind of remembered that, but 126 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 2: you know when you said that, it was like, that's 127 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 2: pretty and apparently looking pretty nice out there. 128 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:49,599 Speaker 5: Huh, Yeah, it really is. The habitat is looking great. 129 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:53,039 Speaker 6: That transformation that we started back like five years ago, 130 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 6: has been continued now by the National Deer Association. So 131 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 6: the volunteers have been doing a great job. It looks awesome. 132 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 6: I mean, it looks like a deer and wildlife paradise. 133 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 6: Now what's interesting. And I'll just kind of jump right 134 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 6: in here with a little bit an observation for you 135 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 6: guys that might be useful for the people. You know, 136 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 6: we had all sorts of beautiful secluded green food plots 137 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 6: tucked in the middle of switch grass like this. The 138 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 6: whole farm is now like really thick prairie and switch 139 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 6: grass like incredible cover everywhere. There's nothing that's not great 140 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 6: cover now except for these tucked away food plots, which 141 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 6: are then tight next to timber bedding too. So I mean, 142 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 6: you couldn't ask for a better early season setup. And 143 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,159 Speaker 6: there's as far as we know, has not been anyone 144 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:41,599 Speaker 6: in there in three weeks. But despite that, almost nothing 145 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:43,839 Speaker 6: was keying in on the green food plots. Like we 146 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 6: saw very very very little deer activity in the food plots, 147 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 6: and the little bit that we did see was very 148 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,359 Speaker 6: very late, like the last couple minutes of daylight. 149 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,839 Speaker 5: What we did see, there's one camera that the NBA 150 00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 5: has out there and that camera was on. 151 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 6: A red oak tree and they were deer hammering the 152 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 6: red oak acorns, and so that was kind of interesting 153 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 6: to see that they're really key than on those acorns. 154 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 6: And that's something that I've seen on my other spots 155 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 6: that I personally hunt. I've got cameras on a couple 156 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 6: of spots like that, and they can observe a couple 157 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 6: spots like that, and same thing like my cameras that 158 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 6: are on green plots. Not a whole lot of activity 159 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 6: spots with acorns, a lot of deer. 160 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 5: So that's not a huge surprise. 161 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 6: Right at this time of the year, that's pretty common, 162 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 6: but it's very exaggerated. I feel like right now, I 163 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 6: think most people that you guys have talked to over 164 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,679 Speaker 6: the last couple of weeks and that I have all 165 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 6: talked about the bumper crop of acorns across big parts 166 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 6: of the country.

But I'm on fourteen 284 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,560 Speaker 2: of sixteen right now. So you know, I too, have 285 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 2: done a large amount of hunting. I don't know if 286 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:15,199 Speaker 2: it means. 287 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 5: Anything to you know, but that's pretty good. 288 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 3: See, I'm tired, tell you the truth of the matter. 289 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 3: Glad to be home.

So that's why I was interested to 294 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 2: hear that you were seeing, you know, a little bit 295 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,680 Speaker 2: of lack of movement on that stuff. But I was 296 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 2: in an area that has no oak trees to speak of, 297 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 2: So I wonder if that has a lot to do 298 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 2: with that. 299 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it.

Yeah, 311 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 4: you said cruising.

He was just like moving 314 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 6: on a mission. He was not feeding around. He was 315 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 6: just on a steady gate, walking along the timber edge 316 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 6: and actually was walking along the edge of the switch 317 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 6: grass and the timber and then went into the timber 318 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 6: and had no interest in the food plot that was 319 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 6: just ten yards away from him. 320 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 3: Got you okay, So things can change pretty quickly.

Yeah, and and so I 343 00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 6: texted you to ask if that was the case, and 344 00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 6: you're like, oh, yep, So what I think you been 345 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 6: referring to is photo period, which is the amount of 346 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 6: day in a twenty four hour period. And the photo 347 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 6: period is basically the thing that is tied to the 348 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 6: changes into stosterone levels and deer which changes at a 349 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 6: consistent rate throughout the year every year at the same time, 350 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 6: because that change in daylight is the same every year 351 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 6: throughout the year, and so that is what leads to 352 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 6: a generally consistent timing of peak breeding in most deer hears, 353 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,520 Speaker 6: like outside of those funky places down south. 354 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 5: So so that's what photo period is, and that's I 355 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 5: know what you were referring to. 356 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, let's say, allegedly at the end of all that alleged. 357 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 2: Mark, it's funny, you love you love your constants, and 358 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 2: it's good as a deer hunter too, keen on that stuff. 359 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 2: But it is those little weird things like that that 360 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 2: just make you go, hmmm, what if photo period does 361 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 2: mean that much? Like, why are they they're these little 362 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,080 Speaker 2: side trips or whatever. But that's what makes it fun, 363 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 2: because these things are not predictable. Ye, you know, you 364 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 2: just cannot just figure them out. 365 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 5: Yes, that is the truth. Yeah, you had a. 366 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 4: Question, They're toole. I was just gonna I was just 367 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 4: gonna say, if you knew what the diurnal period was. 368 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,919 Speaker 5: Well, I don't think diurnal period is a thing, Tyler. 369 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 5: I think you made that up. 370 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:22,920 Speaker 3: No, it's not. 371 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 6: Because diurnal diurnal nocturnal animals or animals that are most 372 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 6: active at nights. Diurnal describes an animal that's most active 373 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 6: during the day. 374 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 3: Yes, and crepusculary is in the middle. Is that right? 375 00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:41,359 Speaker 6: Crepuscular would be most active at the edges. So crepuscular 376 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:45,400 Speaker 6: would be animals like white tails that have peak peak 377 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,320 Speaker 6: activity periods at the edges of daylight. 378 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:55,679 Speaker 4: So, uh, diurnal. There's a diurnal cycle, yes, yes, do 379 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:56,360 Speaker 4: you know what it is? 380 00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,200 Speaker 6: I think it's the fact that like a diurnal cycle 381 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,480 Speaker 6: would be something that happens like on a daily basis, 382 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 6: like a twenty four hour type cycle. 383 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 4: Look at you, you're smart. You're a smart guy. I'm 384 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 4: glad to know you. 385 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:15,640 Speaker 6: Manly, I'm gonna take these acclades and I can get them. 386 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, Hey, I give them to you. Man. 387 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,080 Speaker 4: We we're glad to have you back on, man, and 388 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 4: to just kind of share your story, and we're sure 389 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 4: gonna have you on several more times as much as 390 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,639 Speaker 4: we can. Things get really busy from this point on 391 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,639 Speaker 4: for all deer hunters and for you and us as well, 392 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 4: So we'll try to try to make sure we stay 393 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 4: in touch on this stuff and get updates from you 394 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 4: from the field and that kind of thing going forward. 395 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:41,600 Speaker 5: Yeah, Man, Can I give you a prediction? 396 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:42,919 Speaker 3: I would love that. 397 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,160 Speaker 5: Yeah, all right. 398 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:51,480 Speaker 6: So I'm gonna say over the next seven days, at 399 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:53,920 Speaker 6: least in the areas that I've been looking at in forecast, 400 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 6: we've got pretty consistent weather pattern. It's kind of stagnating 401 00:18:57,880 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 6: now for the next two weeks at least, is what 402 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,879 Speaker 6: I've seen in my neck. 403 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 5: Of the woods. So we had that really hot weather. 404 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:05,720 Speaker 6: We got that first big cold run. I think we 405 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,480 Speaker 6: had a rush of activity. A lot of people killed 406 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 6: deer over the last three or four days. I think 407 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 6: it's gonna stagnate a little bit with that weather. It's 408 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,439 Speaker 6: not gonna be bad, but we're not gonna get this 409 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,160 Speaker 6: huge burst of new deer activity. I think what we're 410 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 6: gonna see is a steady increase right as photo period 411 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:26,400 Speaker 6: would tell us, as that testosterone testosterone level rises over 412 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,880 Speaker 6: the next week, we're going to continue seeing a little. 413 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:30,480 Speaker 5: Bit more activity, a little more activity. 414 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:34,200 Speaker 6: As those bucks are slowly edging towards getting that pre 415 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 6: rut action going. 416 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,200 Speaker 5: So with that being. 417 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,200 Speaker 6: The case, I'm gonna give you a standard Midwest six 418 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:43,400 Speaker 6: because let's go. 419 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,159 Speaker 5: I think it's gonna be I think it's gonna be decent. 420 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 5: I think it's gonna be decent. 421 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,639 Speaker 6: I wouldn't expect things to be banging yet, but I 422 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:52,639 Speaker 6: think it'll be decent. 423 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 5: And if you're on a deer you certainly have an opportunity. 424 00:19:56,200 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 4: Man, y'all are on your way to be in Canada. Man, 425 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 4: that's a that's a good prediction for sure. I'd probably 426 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,200 Speaker 4: agree with you, you know, like the same. I've seen 427 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 4: our trail cameras. They're on forty eight hour updates, but 428 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:17,480 Speaker 4: you know, just to one up you there. But they 429 00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:22,720 Speaker 4: they have shown a lot of increased movement in the 430 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:28,880 Speaker 4: last few days. But then I hunted last night locally 431 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 4: and we saw hogs and that was it. What we 432 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:36,359 Speaker 4: saw a couple of those briefly, but it was pretty 433 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 4: much just that. And then I my forty eight hour 434 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,359 Speaker 4: period ended this morning, so I saw my trail cameras 435 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:46,399 Speaker 4: this morning that there was no there was like no 436 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:50,200 Speaker 4: deer movement overnight or this morning in daylight at all, 437 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 4: which was weird because the last few days I've had 438 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,840 Speaker 4: I've had day move or deer movement over the last 439 00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 4: few days quite like an increased amount and or about 440 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:03,680 Speaker 4: the same but more daylight, you know. So anyway, it's 441 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,119 Speaker 4: just I think you're spot on with that prediction that 442 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:10,679 Speaker 4: things are starting to level out and become the new norm, 443 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,480 Speaker 4: and we need something different. 444 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 3: To happen, I think, yep. So, but with this cold. 445 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,919 Speaker 4: Front, you know, we had a lot of deer die 446 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 4: across the country and a lot of hunters that were 447 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:27,399 Speaker 4: experiencing really good movement. So we're gonna, we're gonna, you know, 448 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:28,919 Speaker 4: get a few of those guys on the phone right 449 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:32,159 Speaker 4: now and chat with them and see if they have 450 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:32,880 Speaker 4: the same prediction. 451 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 3: Tyler. Who we got this week, Well, this week. 452 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 4: We've got several guys from different places in the US. 453 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,680 Speaker 4: We've got Aaron war brittin there in Iowa. He's been 454 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,399 Speaker 4: doing some hunting with some of his buddies that do 455 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 4: the hunting public stuff. We got Clay Nukelem in Arkansas, 456 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 4: Arkansas with a W at the end, Dakota Long he's 457 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,679 Speaker 4: in Texas. He's a good friend of ours. And another 458 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 4: good friend of ours Drew Robbins down in Alabama. These 459 00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 4: guys are gonna give us reports that are gonna hopefully 460 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 4: tin anywhere you're at in the US except maybe the northeast. 461 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,360 Speaker 4: Maybe we'll hook you up next next week with that one. 462 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,199 Speaker 4: Now on the phone, have got Aaron war Britain from 463 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,680 Speaker 4: the hunting public, and you've been up in the Midwest 464 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 4: hunting all over the place Iowa, namely, how's that been 465 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:15,160 Speaker 4: looking lately? 466 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,400 Speaker 3: Man? Real good? 467 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 5: Since this cold front. 468 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:22,160 Speaker 10: We've had a little a little bit different scenario this year, 469 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 10: which is not uncommon. You know, each year is a 470 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 10: little bit different, I feel like, and you always have 471 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 10: got to hunt situations based on whatever conditions you. 472 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 3: Have in the given moment. But this time. 473 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 10: Around, we were very very dry going into the season, 474 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:43,200 Speaker 10: so hardly any water. All the intermittent creeks are dry. 475 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:47,800 Speaker 10: The only places that deer could get water because I 476 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 10: mean it's been you know, almost months without any sizeable rain. 477 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:57,120 Speaker 10: It's been pons er or permanent water like creeks or rivers, 478 00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 10: but all the intermittent streams are dry. And what we noticed, 479 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 10: I mean, all the vegetation is dry, even there's not 480 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,720 Speaker 10: much moisture in it. And at this point in the year, 481 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:11,200 Speaker 10: the crops have dried down. Also, deer are living real, 482 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:15,720 Speaker 10: real close to permanent water. That's been the big key 483 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 10: that we found, you know, even hunting in that real, 484 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,159 Speaker 10: real hot weather during the first week of season, it 485 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 10: was like ninety degrees and then it fell off and 486 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,280 Speaker 10: you know, dropped to thirty degrees in that recent cold front. 487 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:32,439 Speaker 10: And since that cold front, the buck sign is just 488 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:38,200 Speaker 10: ramped way up, Like there lots of fresh rubs, lots 489 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:41,400 Speaker 10: and lots of fresh scrapes since that cold front came around. 490 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:43,920 Speaker 2: So we were just driving home from South Dakola this 491 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 2: past weekend and there's a lot of harvest happened, which 492 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:51,119 Speaker 2: seems early to me. How has that drought affected the 493 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,720 Speaker 2: crops And do you think they're pulling stuff out earlier 494 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:54,200 Speaker 2: than normal? 495 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,480 Speaker 10: I think they are, but that's probably just based on 496 00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 10: the lack of rainfall and the yields this year are 497 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 10: poor in a lot of areas from the drought. But yeah, 498 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:11,920 Speaker 10: we're seeing the same thing. Crops are coming out for 499 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:17,199 Speaker 10: whatever reason. Though we've seen decent acorn crop. You know, 500 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:17,880 Speaker 10: it depends on. 501 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 3: The area that you're at. 502 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 10: I was at one area the other day and there 503 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 10: was gobs and gobs of white oak and red oak 504 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 10: acorns on the ground and deer were smoking them. And 505 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:29,200 Speaker 10: then I went thirty minutes down the road and there 506 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 10: was very few acorns and you know, a swath of 507 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 10: timber that we worked through, so it's it's hit or miss, 508 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:40,200 Speaker 10: but there's definitely on acorns and that's where we've been 509 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,560 Speaker 10: finding lots of bucks sign and lots of first straps 510 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 10: and stuff. Hadn't seen a lot of scraping activity until 511 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 10: this recent front, but been really really ramped up. Had 512 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,120 Speaker 10: a nice buck come by working scrapes just two nights ago. 513 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:58,440 Speaker 4: So would you like, if you're looking into the next week, 514 00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 4: would you suggest checking scrapes out, maybe hanging cameras over them, 515 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,880 Speaker 4: or even hunting them on an afternoon that you get off. 516 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:07,520 Speaker 5: Oh for sure. 517 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:11,720 Speaker 10: I love hunting scrapes, especially during bo season, just because 518 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:13,680 Speaker 10: it puts a deer on a spot you can set 519 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 10: up well with the you know, down wind of the scrape. 520 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,119 Speaker 10: In a lot of situations, you can wait for the 521 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 10: deer to get there. You can, you know, it gives 522 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:26,400 Speaker 10: you a really good high odds chance at killing a deer. 523 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:28,480 Speaker 10: You can put yourself within twenty yards of them. You 524 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 10: can wait for the deer to get there and start 525 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,040 Speaker 10: working the scrapes. You can come to full draw and 526 00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:35,639 Speaker 10: then wait for your opportunity. They don't work every time, obviously. 527 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 10: If you're just walking along the edge of a nag 528 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,520 Speaker 10: field and you're finding ten to fifteen fresh scrapes there, 529 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:44,439 Speaker 10: that's pretty good ways from any sort of secure bedding area. 530 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,600 Speaker 10: I wouldn't fool with those. I'd put cameras over those. 531 00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,439 Speaker 10: But if you're finding scrapes back in the timber, you know, 532 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:54,919 Speaker 10: on a secluded oak flat or something like that, especially 533 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:58,400 Speaker 10: close to permanent water this year, I would be looking 534 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 10: at that pretty hard here in the next few days. 535 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,800 Speaker 4: If if you see a if you see a storm 536 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:06,720 Speaker 4: come through and you're in one of those dry areas 537 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,200 Speaker 4: right now, that that the deer using that water heavily, 538 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,240 Speaker 4: does that knock them off those water patterns? You feel like, 539 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:15,040 Speaker 4: are you more apt to go back to scrapes where 540 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,800 Speaker 4: they might be freshening stuff up or or what do 541 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:18,160 Speaker 4: you think? 542 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 5: A jury's still out on that one. 543 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:22,840 Speaker 10: I don't know. I'm kind of waiting for that to 544 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,679 Speaker 10: happen and see. Yeah, because like I said at the 545 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,159 Speaker 10: at the beginning, every year is a little bit different. 546 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,680 Speaker 10: And I think just because it's been so dry for 547 00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:36,560 Speaker 10: so long right now, there's very little like succulent greed 548 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 10: and food sources other than natural brows because that stuff, 549 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:44,200 Speaker 10: that stuff's got deep roots and it pulls moisture from from. 550 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:46,600 Speaker 3: Lower than a lot of you know. 551 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:52,600 Speaker 10: Grasses or even food plot crops. So I don't know, 552 00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:56,679 Speaker 10: I mean, everything is just so so dry that we've 553 00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:01,400 Speaker 10: noticed that that's where all the deer are concentrated at 554 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:06,160 Speaker 10: is anywhere close to permanent water. And and when we're 555 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,600 Speaker 10: close to permanent water, we're finding a lot of scrapes 556 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,639 Speaker 10: and rubs because that's where that's obviously where the bucks are. 557 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 10: I mean, we target those areas on a year when 558 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:18,200 Speaker 10: it's not dry, just because big bucks often will put 559 00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:20,480 Speaker 10: themselves in a spot real close to permanent water. 560 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:22,440 Speaker 5: As far as your betting area choice, will go. 561 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:27,920 Speaker 10: But that's especially evident this year when it's really really 562 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,120 Speaker 10: dry and they can't because there's there's the moisture content 563 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,080 Speaker 10: in the brows that they're eating. 564 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:36,880 Speaker 5: Right now is so low that they've they've. 565 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,160 Speaker 10: Got to have some sort of permanent water source close by. 566 00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,800 Speaker 3: I mean, we sat upon the other day that was. 567 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,439 Speaker 10: Real close to a parking lot on public land that 568 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,720 Speaker 10: gets pounded, and I think Ted saw eight or nine deer. 569 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,480 Speaker 3: Man, that sounds like a good hunt early in the season. 570 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:52,879 Speaker 2: Dude, I'm glad they already on that hard if you 571 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:56,159 Speaker 2: were looking forward to the next week, I need you, 572 00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,040 Speaker 2: if you would, to rank what you expect the buck 573 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 2: movement to be like on a scale of one to ten. 574 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:03,840 Speaker 3: Oh, man, I don't know. 575 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:05,320 Speaker 5: Depends on where you're at. 576 00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:07,119 Speaker 3: Well, Southern, I will give me that one.

I 622 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,480 Speaker 8: know a lot of guys here that killed good deer 623 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,520 Speaker 8: this weekend, but I was not one of them. 624 00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:25,480 Speaker 2: So yeah, that's it's it's tough, but you know, I 625 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:28,440 Speaker 2: understand that the patient game is is good. You and 626 00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:30,400 Speaker 2: I were talking about some bear hunting you've been doing 627 00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:33,880 Speaker 2: up there, and you were targeting acron ridges. Do you 628 00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:37,400 Speaker 2: think that the acorns are having an impact on the 629 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:38,880 Speaker 2: white tails where you're at as well? 630 00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,200 Speaker 8: Well, that's that's part of the deal is I've not 631 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 8: really found I've yet to really find big concentrations of acorns, 632 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,400 Speaker 8: and usually that's the that's the bear story. 633 00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:52,360 Speaker 7: If you can find the acres, you can find the bears. 634 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:57,440 Speaker 8: But I think some of the acorns are holding a 635 00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:00,320 Speaker 8: little longer than they usually do. They're not falling. But 636 00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:03,840 Speaker 8: also there are just not as many here in the 637 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 8: places where I'm at. I've not found a lot of acres. 638 00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:09,200 Speaker 4: We're kind of seeing the same thing clay down here 639 00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:12,800 Speaker 4: where we're at in East Texas. Now, as far as 640 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:16,400 Speaker 4: you know, the playing the slow game and being conservative, 641 00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:20,200 Speaker 4: are you are you waiting on something in particular?

I didn't realize how good 648 00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:47,640 Speaker 8: I had it until it was gone, and I so 649 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:51,720 Speaker 8: I lost like ninety percent of my hunting ground, and 650 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:56,720 Speaker 8: I'd relied on it so much that I just didn't 651 00:31:56,840 --> 00:32:02,080 Speaker 8: have a lot of other stuff up now. I and 652 00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:05,720 Speaker 8: also because I had this private I have not invested 653 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:10,000 Speaker 8: a ton in local public land hunting. 654 00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:12,640 Speaker 7: Okay, it's complicated. 655 00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:18,440 Speaker 8: Story, boys, and so, but the ten percent of the 656 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:23,800 Speaker 8: remaining private permissions that I have are small properties. So 657 00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,640 Speaker 8: basically I woke up to this year and it's like 658 00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 8: I have a couple of very small properties that I'm 659 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:35,160 Speaker 8: hunting that I have had to be conservative, had to 660 00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:38,240 Speaker 8: be conservative in because they're so small, if that answers 661 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:43,000 Speaker 8: your question, Tyler.
