Speaker 2: This is rutfresh Radio. I'm your host, Casey Smith, and

7
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:25,279
Speaker 2: guess what.

8
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 3: It's actually been a tough week in the Whitetail Woods,

9
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 3: but the looming effects of a potential coal front has

10
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 3: everybody on their toes.

11
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 2: This is rout Fresh. Let's go what's happening to everybody?

12
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 2: This is rutfresh, brought to you by First La Gear. Casey,

13
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,279
Speaker 2: you've been doing some hunt lately? I have not. I

14
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 2: am like I am just chomping at the bit to

15
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 2: get out there. Yeah, I've been doing quite a bit

16
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 2: of elk hunting.

17
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 3: If you want to hear more about that, go check

18
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 3: out the Element podcast also dropped today. We'll have a

19
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 3: episode that gives a lot of details from that hunt,

20
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 3: because it was awesome. They were fired up and going

21
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 3: crazy because September is the l crut. However, September not

22
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 3: so much the whitetail rut. But bucks are killable if

23
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 3: you can get them on a pattern and you made

24
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 3: a remarkable to go off air. How that's a little

25
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 3: bit tough right now because a lot of people have

26
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 3: killed their patterned buck already in the month of September,

27
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 3: and now we're getting into the place where maybe you're

28
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 3: trying to plan B or planning C. You're trying to

29
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 3: find something new, and it gets a little tougher, especially

30
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:45,199
Speaker 3: because animals are interesting. They are all just a little different,

31
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 3: just like humans. Like most humans are pretty predictable. We're

32
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 3: gonna eat something for breakfast, something for lunch, something for dinner.

33
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 3: But outside of that, you might have a Michael who

34
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 3: wants to go to Taco Bell or me and you

35
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 3: that want something kind of nice and cooked at home.

36
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 3: Right So that to say, right now, it's a little

37
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 3: bit tough because a lot of deer are doing different stuff.

38
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 3: And that's kind of what it sounds like kind of

39
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 3: across the country too. The guys are kind of remarking

40
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 3: that it's like pretty standard procedure out there, except for

41
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 3: the fact that nobody knows for sure what that procedure is.

42
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 2: Well, I think a lot of it is that there's

43
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 2: a lot of nocturnal movements still right now, and I

44
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 2: think that those just kind of stagnant tempts, even if

45
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 2: they're not super hot, are still just not like inspiring

46
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 2: deer to move earlier. And it seems like with a

47
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 2: guess that that's kind of a thing for sure. But

48
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 2: you know, also, you know, you still have this pattern

49
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 2: pattern ability thing going on, and you guys will probably

50
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 2: hear like some of this going on, I'm sure from

51
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 2: a lot of the places across the country in the

52
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 2: next week or so, where if you do like your

53
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 2: season may just now be opening up, or it may

54
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 2: open up October one or something like that, So sometime

55
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 2: recently or within the next week, and if you have

56
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 2: something going your way on trail camera, then it's probably

57
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 2: gonna still go your way. You know. A cold front

58
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 2: would be great to inspire them to get up on

59
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,519
Speaker 2: their feet, but it also could mess up some guy

60
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 2: who's got a pattern, you know, going right now. And

61
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,239
Speaker 2: so if that's the guy and he's got a cold

62
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,799
Speaker 2: front looming, he needs to go get out in the

63
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 2: woods right now and kill it. Dear for something changes,

64
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 2: you know, So it's also a good time of year

65
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 2: or two.

66
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,519
Speaker 3: And this is kind of where the way I think

67
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 3: of things sometimes it doesn't align with everybody else. But

68
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 3: if you got deer that are moving pretty nocturnal, it's

69
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 3: a great time to hunt mornings and get into bedding.

70
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 4: You know.

71
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 3: It's like kind of a turn and burn type thing,

72
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 3: where like if you don't kill them, you might bust

73
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 3: it out. But like if you're you know, getting deer

74
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 3: on trail camera that are at night on a food source,

75
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 3: if you know a good idea about where they're bedding,

76
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 3: you can go on a morning, you know, get in

77
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 3: there real early and be in the right spot. You know,

78
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 3: it makes me think about believe it was October third

79
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 3: of the year twenty twenty one, you did that exact

80
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 3: thing South Dakota. We knew fourth it was it was

81
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 3: Eric's birthday. That's right, Yeah, that's right, birthday bug from Eric.

82
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 3: So we went then went and boughtym a twinkie at

83
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 3: the gas station.

84
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 2: Every hostess we could find it.

85
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 3: But yeah, so like it's the thing that works early

86
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 3: now that is you know, kind of a week out still,

87
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 3: but the deer pretty much going to be doing that

88
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 3: same thing until they shift to kind of that pre

89
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 3: rut stage, which we're all antsy about.

90
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 2: Right telling you, you know, and that's something that another

91
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 2: thing to consider, you know, if that that was a

92
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 2: public land deer, right, if I was, if I had

93
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 2: a place that I needed to play more conservative than

94
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 2: which I have a few you know, I'm not going

95
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,720
Speaker 2: to go probably and do that unless I see something

96
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 2: change so or you know, even I can't remember in

97
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 2: twenty twenty when I killed a deer on a scrape

98
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 2: in Illinois, a big buck, and I played that pretty

99
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 2: conservative too, because we knew that that scrape had been

100
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,359
Speaker 2: producing all summer, right, and so we knew what was

101
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 2: going to happen. We just needed we needed something to

102
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 2: really solidify the fact that there was gonna be a

103
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 2: good chance of daylight movement. And that was a big

104
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 2: cold front. And and instead I almost went a week early.

105
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 2: And if i'd have gone that that buck that I

106
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 2: killed showed up that on that cold front the week prior.

107
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 2: It just was he was in the in the dark.

108
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 2: So it ended up being good. I talked to some

109
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 2: people up there that were more from the area and

110
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 2: they were like, you should wait, I think because things

111
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 2: are still really just right at right at dark pretty

112
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 2: much if they're coming out in daylight. So it went doubt.

113
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 3: That brings up a little something we were actually fixing

114
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 3: to get to go finally do some why too, I'm

115
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 3: gonna tell you what state, because you're gonna creep us

116
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:39,479
Speaker 3: out a little bit, and I don't want you to

117
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 3: come over finding us.

118
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 2: I know I pay for some of the people from

119
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 2: Maine to figure out our spots.

120
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 3: So but the place that we're going, we got some

121
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 3: permission on some private ground that is like a lot

122
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:57,039
Speaker 3: of ag fields, and I don't know how much ground

123
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:58,919
Speaker 3: we're gonna have. If that's not agg fields, you know,

124
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 3: it's gonna be like kind of like tree rose fence

125
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 3: rose in the fields, so a lot of deer around.

126
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 3: But that makes mornings really tough. And if there is cover,

127
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 3: we are liable to have to go through the agg

128
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 3: fields to get to it. So there's not a lot

129
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 3: of acreage to it. So the mornings or evenings thing.

130
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 3: It's going to have to be something to kind of

131
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 3: decide on this, Tyler, how do you feel about it?

132
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 3: Are you do you feel like because we're gonna do

133
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 3: this in about three days because we don't have a

134
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 3: lot of time to hunt this place. Is it worth

135
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 3: going in and boogering stuff or is it worth just

136
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 3: trying to have three good evening hunts where you don't

137
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 3: have deer that are all scooped up?

138
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 2: Man? I think I think you know, it's going to

139
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 2: be probably worth being a little bit conservative until the

140
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 2: last morning. Maybe you know, they're just kind of seeing

141
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 2: at least the first day or two. What what you

142
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 2: what you at least assume is going on. And the

143
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 2: issue with this and this is like a this is

144
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 2: a three through thing across the US probably, but ag

145
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 2: is produced by tractors which have to enter that ag

146
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 2: field through a road system at some point, right, so

147
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 2: you end up where you enter properties is the ag

148
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 2: and the betting is further back in right yep most

149
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 2: of the time. So that's why it's hard, because you

150
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 2: can't just you know, come in from the backside a

151
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 2: lot of times because if you could, then they would

152
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 2: plant that too or whatever, you know, and I feel

153
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 2: like we won't be walking.

154
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 3: But if you had a little e bike or something,

155
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 3: it might help that, you know, you can zoom back

156
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 3: there and just have a little bit different impact. Do

157
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 3: you think that this is something I actually don't know

158
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 3: the answer to. But deer seem to enter ag fields

159
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 3: at specific places, like they this is the spot that

160
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 3: the deer come in. They don't just kind of spider

161
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 3: web in. But I almost feel like in the morning

162
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 3: sometimes they kind of like spider web out, like they

163
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 3: kind of get caught out there and they're like, oh,

164
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 3: jump the fence.

165
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, right, sure, I feel like that too.

166
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 3: It's makes it a little tougher to try to pattern

167
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 3: deer because I was thinking, I was like, you know,

168
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 3: we could pull up. One way we could use our

169
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 3: mornings is glass and feel and figure out where they're

170
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 3: leaving the fields and then know you can go set

171
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 3: up there.

172
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 2: But a buck might do a loop. They don't use.

173
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 3: They don't actually do a lot of linear things. You know,

174
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 3: a lot of times they're looping to go who knows.

175
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:25,239
Speaker 2: What fee the next month or whatever. Yeah.

176
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I don't know, it'll be interested to see

177
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 3: because I haven't ever hunted this situation too much.

178
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 2: There's usually always like an option for.

179
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 3: The morning, and maybe there will be I don't know,

180
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 3: but it's gonna take some scouting stuff figure out well.

181
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 2: And I think that if there is an option it's

182
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 2: probably going to take a long walk and therefore early mornings.

183
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, I've been doing a lot of long walking

184
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 3: and uh, I don't really want any more.

185
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 2: The evening. It's kind of tired.

186
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 3: Man.

187
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 2: Yeah.

188
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:58,679
Speaker 3: Well, we do have a diverse group this week from

189
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 3: around the country to talk about what's going on the

190
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 3: White Tail Woods. It's kind of weird too, because a

191
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 3: lot of times things are different because the country is

192
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 3: so big and White tra are so different. But this

193
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 3: is like a really specific time of year where it's

194
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 3: like just that calm before the big game type thing

195
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 3: where everybody's just like, all right, it's coming, you know,

196
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 3: or whatever.

197
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 2: So who are we talking to today? Yeah, So I

198
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 2: try always to spread these things out when we you know,

199
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 2: quote unquote book guests. But I want to make sure

200
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,439
Speaker 2: we're getting some south, some north, some east and west

201
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 2: that kind of thing as much as possible. And it's

202
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 2: hard depending on what sasars are open. But Arkansas opened

203
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 2: up recently, so our buddy Nick Gonzalez has been up

204
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 2: there hanging out with the mosquitoes and trying not to

205
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 2: get carried off in Arkansas. We're also going to talk

206
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 2: to cam Baits up in Wisconsin. Cam's a super cool dude,

207
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 2: very knowledgeable, smart individual that has been hunting the Wisconsin area.

208
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 2: And that's a state I've never hunted. Actually I've scouted it,

209
00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 2: but I've never hunted it. I've seen it. That's what

210
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 2: you do. And then Jason Read from timber Ninja out

211
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:09,319
Speaker 2: North Carolina. He's, you know, the speaking of walking, he's

212
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 2: the master walker. He loves walking very far into Christopher

213
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 2: just be walking all the time. He's out there walking

214
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:22,839
Speaker 2: around in North Carolina hills. And then Garrett Addison from Minnesota.

215
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 2: He's been doing a much different game where you don't

216
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 2: walk very far because you hunt right next to the

217
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 2: driveway in the urban areas. That's cool, Yeah, it's it's

218
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 2: it is a diverse group and there's a lot of

219
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 2: different things going on. You know, a lot of you

220
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 2: people have been sending us messages about states and places

221
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 2: you know, you'd like to have. Unfortunately, there's about four

222
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 2: guests every week, and uh, there's you know what forty

223
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 2: something states that have white tail in them, and we're

224
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 2: gonna cover them as much as possible. Uh, but you know,

225
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 2: south central, western eastern Illinois might not make it. You know,

226
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 2: you know, no, I mean so especially not right now

227
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:04,959
Speaker 2: because there's not a season open days, right. Illinois will

228
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 2: make it, you know, during the season, I'm sure, but

229
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 2: like your particular area, I'd like to help you out

230
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 2: and get that done. But it's it's enough for us

231
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 2: to get the states all lined out as much as possible.

232
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,439
Speaker 2: So we're trying. We're trying, guys, and I appreciate your

233
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 2: support guys listening to this thing. I know Mark appreciates

234
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 2: it as well, and we'll try to have him back

235
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 2: on one of these days when he gets done trout

236
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 2: fishing and all that kind of stuff. So anyway, let's

237
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 2: get to those guys all right on the phone. Now,

238
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 2: I've got Nick Gonzalez. He's an Element correspondent. He's been

239
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 2: out in Arkansas. What's going on, Nick, Oh?

240
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 4: Not much.

241
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 5: About to get some Chick fil.

242
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 2: A, man, it's about to be, you know, a pleasurable

243
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:50,679
Speaker 2: fast food experience, spicy deluxe time man, for sure. Cool. Well,

244
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,679
Speaker 2: so you've been in Arkansas doing some hunting. You're hunting

245
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:57,439
Speaker 2: publicly in I was how'd that go?

246
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 6: Say?

247
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 5: The least? I've had better hunts?

248
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:06,319
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I didn't didn't see a whole lot

249
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 7: of deer action on this trip. Saw a few dough

250
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 7: lots of mosquitoes, and a lot of snakes.

251
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:17,199
Speaker 3: Oh snake, all our bodies out there, What was what

252
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 3: was the tactic that you were so a little background here.

253
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,439
Speaker 3: You you went on a hunt early last year Tarkansas

254
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 3: and had a good hunt, So I'm assuming you were

255
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 3: kind of just going off of some of the previous

256
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 3: knowledge there. What was the tactic that you were going

257
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 3: in there on?

258
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 7: Yeah, so last year we were kind of hunting the food.

259
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,079
Speaker 7: We also had some water, so last year was a

260
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 7: real dry year, and the location that we hunted last

261
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,319
Speaker 7: year was one of the only spots in the area

262
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:49,319
Speaker 7: that had really good water, which is what they were patterning.

263
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 7: This year, we weren't able to get to that same

264
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 7: spot just too due to a couple of different circumstances,

265
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 7: so we had to improvise out new areas. But essentially

266
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 7: we were hunting the same thing, just bead to food,

267
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 7: mostly acrons. Found some per simmons while we were out

268
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,079
Speaker 7: there as well, so that's kind of what.

269
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 5: We were after.

270
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 2: Is that what those snakes were eating per simmons?

271
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 7: Uh No, the only thing that's all eating. Those actually

272
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:16,439
Speaker 7: were coyotes.

273
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 2: Oh, they they see loves coyotes, man, man, k let

274
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 2: me tell you something. I have a lot of encounters

275
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 2: with coyotes these days.

276
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 3: It seems they intend to really like to mess up

277
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 3: my hunts, which I hope that didn't happen for you.

278
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, So what kind of acorns? Were they? Red oaks

279
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 2: or white oaks?

280
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 5: I couldn't tell you, to be honest with you. I

281
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 5: need to do some more research.

282
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 2: Were they small and in swampy areas?

283
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 7: Yeah?

284
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 5: They were small and they're real green.

285
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, so probably like swamp or water oaks as

286
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 2: they call them, and willow oaks I would assume. But uh,

287
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 2: those things we found they they tend to work later

288
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 2: in the season two because they got so much tannin

289
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 2: in them. But any anyway, so you know you have

290
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 2: a rough hint. But you did see some deer, right,

291
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 2: I did?

292
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, just a few doze and they were both times,

293
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 7: are both sets that I saw them. They were hitting

294
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 7: the agrons just coming out of just coming out of

295
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 7: their bedding in the evening.

296
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 2: Where were they betting in being Yeah, just like super

297
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 2: thick honeysuckle and stuff like that or what was it?

298
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 7: Yeah, basically just yeah, thick areas like that. Yeah, it's

299
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 7: all swamp land out there's everything. You know, it's kind

300
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 7: of hard to find the betting because everything looks the same.

301
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 2: Cover Sure enough, Man, did you find any rubs yet

302
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 2: while you were out there?

303
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 7: I didn't find many at all. Actually I saw one

304
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 7: on a really small tree, but.

305
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 4: That was it.

306
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 2: Not like a little wispy to just give you not

307
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 2: much confidence. So you know, if you were if you

308
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 2: were thinking about like this next week based off any

309
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 2: you know, weather patterns or any variability that you can

310
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 2: think of, would you still hunt the same pattern maybe

311
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 2: a different area, But would you still hunt deer moving

312
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 2: from betting into the acorns?

313
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, for sure. I mean I think that's probably your

314
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 7: best bet at this point. Just I think that's the

315
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 7: only thing that they're moving for right now.

316
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 2: So i'd be moving from them cotton mouths. So, if

317
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 2: you had.

318
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 3: To predict the buck movement over the next week and

319
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 3: give it a rating of one to ten, what are

320
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 3: you going to call it for Arkansas?

321
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 7: Honestly, probably like a four, just because the weather is

322
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 7: going to be about the same. It's still pretty warm,

323
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 7: I think maybe mid to low sixties in the mornings

324
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 7: and then mid eighties or so in the during the day,

325
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 7: so I don't expect it to be much better than

326
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 7: it was this week.

327
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 2: M Yeah, okay, well, man, I hope that it goes

328
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 2: better for you next time you go up there, man.

329
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 2: And I hope your Chick fil A is super tasty

330
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 2: and as they say, I hope it's their pleasure, you

331
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 2: know what I mean that they save you that the

332
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 2: chick Fila.

333
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 5: They're pretty consistent, so I'm sure they are.

334
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 2: Chick Fish for board is pretty good on this one.

335
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 5: Man.

336
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, thanks for hopping on and doing that for us. Man.

337
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 2: And uh yeah, we'll be talking to you soon.

338
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 5: All right, sounds good.

339
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 7: Appreciate you guys.

340
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 2: On the phone. I've got cam Baits. He's been out

341
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 2: in Wisconsin hunting. What's going on camp?

342
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 6: Oh Man, I'm honestly, I'm waiting for cold weather to

343
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 6: roll in. But that's not too big of an issue. Yeah,

344
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 6: I hunted the entire opening weekend, so Saturday Sunday learned

345
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 6: a lot actually, But yeah, I mean, I'm waiting for

346
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 6: some of the colder weather to roll in to really

347
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 6: see some more deer movement in the in the morning

348
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 6: hours and the evening hours than normal.

349
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's been good. Cool. Yeah, So I got

350
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 2: I got a quot for you. Then, uh, Saturday, I

351
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 2: coach the pee wee football game and it was ninety six.

352
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 2: What's cold for you in Wisconsin? Cool? Oh?

353
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 5: Man.

354
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 6: The temperatures I want to see in the morning, I

355
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,160
Speaker 6: want to see in the thirties to forties.

356
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, in the current months we're at. Yeah. Yeah.

357
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 6: Opening day though, I think it was morning temps were

358
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 6: fifty five and then afternoon temps were seventy two and sunny.

359
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 2: Man. I think there's a song about that, isn't there.

360
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 3: Actually, So you know, this might be a little bit

361
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 3: like basic level, but I think it's probably a good

362
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 3: idea to talk about.

363
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 2: What do those cold tents do for you?

364
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 6: They get the they get the deer moving sooner. When

365
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 6: it's a little bit warmer out, the deer tend to

366
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 6: not hunker, They just bed longer, and so it pushes

367
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 6: out those moving times from where you'd want to see

368
00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 6: at the six am, seven am, they push out to or.

369
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,360
Speaker 2: Eight, nine, ten am.

370
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,640
Speaker 6: So and so it doesn't really allow you to well,

371
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 6: it doesn't allow you to prep for the day.

372
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:08,959
Speaker 2: Well m M, gotcha.

373
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 3: So do you also, you know, the tempts you listed

374
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 3: there were looking at kind of like first frost dates

375
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 3: and stuff.

376
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 2: Does the the.

377
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 3: Brows or the the food sources tend to shift whenever

378
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 3: you get that first frost.

379
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, by then you'd still see some of the you'd

380
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 6: see some of the farmers picking corn by then, or

381
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 6: picking beans. They've already started to pick corn up here.

382
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 6: But you start to see deer shift from movement out

383
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 6: to those types of food sources like egg food sources.

384
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:38,919
Speaker 5: You see them.

385
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 2: Start shift inwards to.

386
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 6: Trees, dropping acorns, stuff like that.

387
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 2: So is that what you've been hunting, is you know

388
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,399
Speaker 2: a major egg food sources.

389
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, so I tend to I tend to make my

390
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 6: decisions off of trail cameras right now because the land

391
00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:02,159
Speaker 6: I hunt isn't driving distance of my house, and so

392
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,160
Speaker 6: I tend to hunt off of trail cameras right now.

393
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 2: And basically I'm really looking at travel.

394
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 6: Corridors, not necessarily where I would set up.

395
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 2: But to go, all right, are you moving in this direction?

396
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 6: If they're moving in this direction, then yes, they're probably

397
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 6: hitting that field during the evening time. And so I'm

398
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,399
Speaker 6: just seeing what's moving to the food source.

399
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:28,119
Speaker 3: Gotcha, are you thinking about scrapes at all yet or

400
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 3: is it still too early?

401
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 2: It's too early.

402
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 6: I would expect to see that here in the next

403
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 6: week or two where you see an uptick in scrapes

404
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 6: and rubs.

405
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:40,640
Speaker 2: Actually, so in the next week is are you would

406
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 2: you change what you're doing if you're going forward and

407
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 2: hunting next week or would you stick with you know,

408
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 2: trail camera data that's showing you where they're head into

409
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 2: and essentially hunting between bed and food.

410
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 6: I would say within okay, I would say within the

411
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,160
Speaker 6: next week, I'm going to stick with the trail cam

412
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 6: data and I'm going to hunt between bed and.

413
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,639
Speaker 2: Food here in the next two to three weeks.

414
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 6: Then I would start looking for scrapes and rubs and

415
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,640
Speaker 6: really determine, Hey, am I going to put my setup

416
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 6: near one of those travel corridors from scrape to rub

417
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 6: and just use that as where I would set up.

418
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 3: All right, cool man, So looking forward for the next week,

419
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 3: then if it's kind of consistent with what you've been

420
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 3: saying on a scale of one to ten, what do

421
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 3: you expect bug movement to be like over the next week?

422
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 2: Buck movement over the next week I would expect it

423
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 2: to probably be a six. Pretty good, that's not bad, man.

424
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:44,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, but that's also factoring in, Hey, through the trail cameras,

425
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 6: Do I have them figured out? Because I mean they're

426
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,160
Speaker 6: still moving during the day, But it's do I have

427
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 6: that sussed out to know? Am I going to be

428
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:54,399
Speaker 6: close to where they're still moving during the day between

429
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 6: these food sources embedding? Then I would say it's a six.

430
00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,919
Speaker 6: But below that, if you're just winging it, it drops.

431
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 4: Yeah.

432
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, well I feel like every time I'm winging it,

433
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 2: I have low odds anyway, So try gammers are helpful things, man,

434
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 2: for sure. Well we appreciate it. Cam. Thanks for the report. Man,

435
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 2: I hope that going forward. Uh like in two or

436
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 2: three weeks you're killing rutting bucks over scrapes and stuff. Man, Yeah,

437
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,639
Speaker 2: I mean that'd be awesome. I'll for sure let you

438
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 2: guys know. All right, guys, Yeah, I have a good

439
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:44,679
Speaker 2: one you too, see you on the phone now. I've

440
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:48,120
Speaker 2: got Jason Redd. He's been out in North Carolina doing

441
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 2: some timber ninja stuff and hunting. How's it going, man, Man,

442
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 2: it's doing good. It's a beautiful day. I hear some

443
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 2: birds out there in the background. It sounds like, Yeah,

444
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 2: I'm sitting on the back porch. Yeah, you know, I

445
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 2: mean Portchiting this time of year can be pretty fun.

446
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:04,399
Speaker 2: It's a little warm in Texas, but I don't know

447
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,199
Speaker 2: if it's the same there in North Carolina or not.

448
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 8: Today Verhah is about seventy four. But we came out

449
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 8: of this. It's been hot. This is the end of

450
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 8: summer here, but this is our kind of like first

451
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 8: little sprinkling at fall.

452
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's cool. So you've been hunting a little bit

453
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,399
Speaker 2: this week. You're the kind of guy that likes to

454
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 2: get after a target buck sometimes and really trying to

455
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:28,439
Speaker 2: figure out something, especially on public land, and you know

456
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 2: some of that. Can you explain kind of what the

457
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:32,119
Speaker 2: country you've been hunting looks like?

458
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,919
Speaker 8: So, yeah, I hunt mainly National Forest up the mountains

459
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 8: North Carolina, So it's a lot of old grove forest,

460
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 8: you know, really no no timber cuts, you know, masts

461
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 8: and terrain is like your key key thing components here.

462
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 8: But yeah, I've been after a buck for four years

463
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 8: that I'm hunting right now.

464
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, you told me you feel like you're kind of

465
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 2: squeezing in on him. And figuring him out. Now what

466
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 2: kind of what kind of pattern have you been unting

467
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 2: him on right now? What I've been really focused on

468
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 2: is food. Acorns are key here.

469
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 8: Acorns are dropping heavy in my area, and I know

470
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,920
Speaker 8: where he likes to bed this time of year. He's

471
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 8: opened up some sign in there last week. You know

472
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 8: that they just started shedding their velvet last week, and

473
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 8: these rubs definitely looked like you know, he was shedding

474
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 8: his velvet.

475
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 2: And then he.

476
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 8: Also, you know, with that velvet coming off, that testosterone

477
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 8: going up, you know, deer kind of doing some funny

478
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 8: things right now. These bucks are and he already opened

479
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:35,400
Speaker 8: up a scrape this week too, so you know, it's

480
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 8: right in the line, on this elevation line, with his

481
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 8: bed at this saddle. The one thing that limits me though,

482
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 8: is that I know he's bedding on private and I'm

483
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 8: hunting on the public, so I can't push any further

484
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 8: than I am. So you know, really what I'm working

485
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 8: on is, you know, him coming to this saddle to

486
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 8: eat acorns, but with so much mass on the ground

487
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:56,440
Speaker 8: right now, he doesn't had to travel very far.

488
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 2: Do you have cameras in the area.

489
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 8: I just put one in that area because he wasn't

490
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:03,639
Speaker 8: in there last year this time, but he had been

491
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 8: the previous years that I've hunted him, and for whatever reason,

492
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 8: I didn't get him in their early season last year.

493
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 8: And I think, you know, as he's you know, he's

494
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,360
Speaker 8: at least a seven year old beer, so I think,

495
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,919
Speaker 8: you know, his home range is shrinking and this is

496
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 8: primarily has been his core area. So I think he's

497
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 8: going to be in there tire this year.

498
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,120
Speaker 2: I'd be interested to see how much daylight movement you're

499
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 2: getting for sure. That's ah, you know, that's an interesting

500
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,400
Speaker 2: It's an interesting time of year because you know, as

501
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 2: we get kind of closer to October, some of those

502
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 2: scrapes will open up and those kind of things, and uh,

503
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 2: in my in the past, you know, it's it can

504
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 2: still be hard to kill him very far from their beds,

505
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 2: you know, and until like late October a lot of times.

506
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:50,680
Speaker 2: So that's interesting. Now, if you were you know, you said,

507
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 2: you've had kind of a just a spout of decent weather,

508
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,640
Speaker 2: good decent tempts. It's been kind of warm before that.

509
00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 2: What is uh, what is the forecast looking like going forward?

510
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 2: I mean, are you going to be probably sticking to

511
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 2: the same type of thing, trying to really just hunt

512
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 2: really close to that private and and hopes that he

513
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 2: shows up in the daylight.

514
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean so, actually I'm going on a trip

515
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 8: out of state next week, but if I was hunting him,

516
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 8: you know all this week, you know that moon's starting

517
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 8: to come full, and I do notice a little bit

518
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,120
Speaker 8: more mid day movement when you have a full moon

519
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 8: in the early season, because I you know, I think

520
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 8: this beer out but uh yeah, but my goal is

521
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 8: I did put a sale cam in there, and I

522
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 8: want to see, you know, if there's potential that he's

523
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 8: beating on the other side of his sadle. If he is,

524
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 8: I can push a little bit further, so I'd be

525
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 8: in there, you know, really.

526
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 2: As close as I could. Because any type.

527
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 8: Of weather change, you know it's somewhat drastic or the

528
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 8: moon can make that deer guy his bed a little

529
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:48,440
Speaker 8: bit surelier and travel a little bit longer.

530
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:52,919
Speaker 2: Sure So, if you had to make a guess at

531
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 2: what the buck movement will be like on a scale

532
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,360
Speaker 2: of one to ten in the next week, based off

533
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 2: of weather patterns, moon or just time a year or

534
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 2: anything any variable, what would you rate the buck movement

535
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,120
Speaker 2: to be like, if you had to guess.

536
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 8: I think, if you know, as we get into later

537
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 8: next week, i'd be more along with seven scale personally,

538
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 8: and I would, like I said, I think I would

539
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 8: gamble on that being a midday, early season movement, So

540
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,359
Speaker 8: I'd be getting to my stand about seven or eight

541
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,479
Speaker 8: o'clock and pretty much sitting all day if I had

542
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 8: something I was seriously after. If I don't have something

543
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 8: I'm seriously after right now, I'd have a stand on

544
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 8: my back checking fresh sign around dropping oaks, because you

545
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 8: know those bucks, they tend to like a certain o

546
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 8: shaw until they move on to another one.

547
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 2: Gotcha, man, that's a good report. Well, I appreciate the time, Jason,

548
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 2: and I hope that you get to wrap your hands

549
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,639
Speaker 2: around his antlers at some point man this year. Yeah, buddy,

550
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 2: we will, thanks man. Okay, Now on the phone, I've

551
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 2: got Garrett Oddison. He's hunting up in Minnesota. He's been

552
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:53,119
Speaker 2: hunting with the White Tailed DNA team and Alex Comstock

553
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:54,920
Speaker 2: up there. Man, what's been going on?

554
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 4: Oh, not a whole lot, Tit's I've been pretty slow. Actually,

555
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,679
Speaker 4: are mature bucks are kind of mi I A we

556
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 4: actually just had one show up the other day. But

557
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 4: for the most part, we're just sitting in spots waiting

558
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:09,880
Speaker 4: for those boys to show up.

559
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 5: Yeah are they?

560
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 2: So? Are those big mature bucks you when you say

561
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 2: showing up you're mean on camera?

562
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 5: I guess right, yeah, pretty much, or we're the mouth.

563
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 2: I guess Okay, sure.

564
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:25,639
Speaker 5: So we're in a suburban setting, so you'll talk around.

565
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 2: Here, yeah, man, I mean people are seeing that. There's joggers,

566
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 2: there's bickers, all of it. Man, So sure sure yeah.

567
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 2: So as far as as far as the camera data goes,

568
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 2: are those deers showing up in daylight? Ah?

569
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:42,440
Speaker 5: Not yet so far.

570
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:47,160
Speaker 4: I think we're so are we're blocked up in our city.

571
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 4: We're giving sections, so we're only able to hunt so far.

572
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 4: And some of these big mature bucks are smart, you know,

573
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 4: and they pulled off in the spots that you can't hunt.

574
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:57,640
Speaker 5: And then once we get closer.

575
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 4: To the middle of October November, they're going to start growing.

576
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:01,880
Speaker 5: Up in those spots where we can hunt.

577
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:05,680
Speaker 4: Right now, we're getting them, yeah right, we're getting them

578
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 4: after dark right now?

579
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 2: Gotcha? So what what patterns are you hunting them on?

580
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 2: Are you just hoping that you can get as close

581
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 2: to bedding as possible, or are you sitting near feed

582
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:16,479
Speaker 2: of some sort or what?

583
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, right now we're sitting pretty close to feed.

584
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 4: We're still, like pretty much mostly everybody in the Midwest.

585
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 5: Hunting food to bed.

586
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 4: We're just trying to get in between those bucks and

587
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:29,359
Speaker 4: just hoping for a hail Mary. Right now, one of

588
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 4: our teammates is on a pretty good one, and so

589
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 4: he's on.

590
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:38,959
Speaker 2: I guess is the what's the feed that you're you have?

591
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 4: Uh, we got acorns, we have apples.

592
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 5: Sometimes the deer, you know, going to people's gardens.

593
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 4: So if you can set up close to as close

594
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 4: as you can to people's houses, I mean, that's where

595
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 4: the deer is trying to go.

596
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 2: Gotcha. Okay, So as far as like the you know,

597
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 2: shoot a deer in that situation, does it ever make

598
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 2: you nervous?

599
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 7: Yeah?

600
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 5: It does, for sure. For sure. You try.

601
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 4: That's what the whole summer is, trying to make the

602
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 4: most ethical shot and make the most when it happens.

603
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I bet man. So, you know, when I talked

604
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 2: to you first before we were on air here, you

605
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 2: mentioned that it's kind of rainy up there. I guess

606
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 2: it's been kind of rainy. Has that been kind of

607
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 2: the conditions last week?

608
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:28,239
Speaker 5: Uh?

609
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 4: I know they've actually been pretty hot, which is probably

610
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 4: why those bucks are staying after.

611
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 5: Dark two before they're getting up out of their beds.

612
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 2: So do you think this weather will change things?

613
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 5: Yeah?

614
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 4: For sure, because I'm looking at next week, it's supposed

615
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 4: to temperature supposed to drop into the sixties, so that

616
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 4: should get.

617
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 5: Those deer moving earlier.

618
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 2: Okay, So you so if you were going to be

619
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 2: hunting next week, or say you're gonna you're going to hunt,

620
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 2: are you hunting the same patterns essentially hunting apple trees,

621
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 2: ach and trees, those kind of things, and trying to

622
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 2: still hope that those bucks are just getting up on

623
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:05,880
