51
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 4: That's right, you just don't get to hunt it, you

52
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 4: know what I mean.

53
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 2: I don't know.

54
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 4: I still I still put a white tail, a big

55
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 4: white tail buck up against it, you know. I mean, like,

56
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 4: you know, maybe one that I might have had a

57
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 4: chance to shoot recently, or maybe another one I had

58
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:52,959
Speaker 4: a chance to shoot recently.

59
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 2: Maybe they recently.

60
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 3: So I think in the spirit of white till week,

61
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 3: we're until about our week a little bit. Yeah, the

62
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 3: man Tyler Jones as a vendetta against the state of

63
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 3: Nebraska and he wants to shoot all their white tails.

64
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 2: I did say that it's like his it's like his

65
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 2: mo o. Dude.

66
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 3: He wants to kill every white tail deer in Nebraska,

67
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 3: and he has got a good start on him.

68
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,639
Speaker 4: Well, they they got me for a couple of years there, bro,

69
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 4: they had me over there.

70
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 2: That is the first happening. I'm not gonna lie.

71
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,519
Speaker 4: Yeah, they so, you know, in Nebraska, the first couple

72
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 4: of years I went, it was a struggle. There's a

73
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 4: lot of dudes competing for early season deer there and

74
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 4: it's just been it was as tough. It's hot, there's bugs.

75
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 4: There was mosquitos like crazy. One year I had I

76
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 4: had worked in on a really nice velvet eight point

77
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 4: one afternoon and got him at twelve yards and when

78
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 4: he came out, he kind of peeped me in a

79
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 4: big old huggy bear sitting next to me getting ready

80
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 4: to video and shoot this deer, you know, and that'll happen.

81
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 2: Your profile is just twice as.

82
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 4: Big when you got another guy in the woods with you,

83
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 4: you know what I mean, if not more, I mean

84
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 4: you start spreading out and multiplying, and things just get

85
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 4: you know, cameras and big old mics on top and

86
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 4: all this stuff. So it makes it difficult to kill

87
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 4: deer and get real aggressive, which you know is something

88
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 4: you like to do. You're a very aggressive hunter. Not

89
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 4: very but you're an aggressive hunter. You understand the knowledgeably

90
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 4: aggressive side of things. And anyway, so the first two

91
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 4: years and lots of driving and lots of being broke

92
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 4: to like nineteen was one of the more poor years

93
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 4: of my life, you know, twenty nineteen and you know

94
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 4: it was tough. Guess what about twenty twenty one? You

95
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 4: talked me into going back to Nebraska. I was done

96
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 4: two years. I figured out I didn't want to be

97
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 4: there again. It was hard, it was tough, it was hot.

98
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 4: You talked me into going back, and I end up

99
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 4: shooting a really nice buck. The memory is such a

100
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 4: good memory, man, And it was fun night. There was,

101
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 4: I mean, from the whole day, the transpire of the

102
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 4: whole day.

103
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 2: It was awesome.

104
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,559
Speaker 4: And I think it was September fourth when I shot

105
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 4: that deer, so he was real fresh out of velvet,

106
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 4: you know, and just had like them spiky sharp things

107
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 4: on his bases, you know, and just a wide, nice

108
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 4: buck that came to like three yards and smoked him

109
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 4: straight down. And then that was twenty one. On twenty two,

110
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 4: you and I go back and we do the double thing,

111
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,799
Speaker 4: which just you know, released earlier the spring in video

112
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 4: format on the Mediator channel, which is part that's the

113
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 4: first part, one first part of our series of the

114
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 4: buck Truck, So you can check that out if you

115
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 4: haven't seen it, and it's a cool video. We double

116
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,479
Speaker 4: within like fifteen minutes of each other, and we're sitting

117
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 4: like eighty five yards apart or something eighty one yards

118
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 4: something like that. It was awesome. So this year we

119
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 4: come back. And I actually wasn't really thinking double until

120
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 4: you mentioned it, I think, and uh but I didn't

121
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 4: want to shoot a deer. I just I just wasn't

122
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 4: thinking like, oh, we should really, you know, we should

123
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 4: like continue the tradition here.

124
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's like, oh, let's go too kill some deer.

125
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 3: I knew it was a possibility, but we had pretty

126
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 3: much three days to hunt, and mornings have been like

127
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,600
Speaker 3: hot weather, and they just hadn't been great. We have,

128
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 3: in fact hunting mornings and didn't see any deer anymore,

129
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 3: Like no deer, not even dose.

130
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 2: Right, yeah, uh so it's really three evening hunts.

131
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 3: So it's like, uh, I guess your chances of doubling

132
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 3: up are pretty low. It's like a kind of like

133
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 3: a slot machine almost, right. I don't know much about that.

134
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 3: But there's three of them, right, you know, like they

135
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 3: matching them up is going to be pretty tough. But

136
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 3: I knew there was a possibility because we're in an

137
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 3: area there's a lot of deer, we're hunting some really

138
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 3: good food sources, and you know that's you know, I

139
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 3: both tend to shoot a deer.

140
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 4: So it's the way I know, man, I got to

141
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 4: shoot more than once on that trip.

142
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 2: Actually, dang you letting that cat out of the background.

143
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 4: Maybe, I mean there's some dose that got killed and

144
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 4: stuff like that to you.

145
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 2: So you know, it's a fun trip. It was, man,

146
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 2: and so I.

147
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 4: Talk about a lot of that on our podcast. I

148
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 4: imagine the uh, we're just gonna leave it there.

149
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 2: The double.

150
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 4: The double may or may not have happened. It happened, Okay,

151
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 4: it happened. I think you just gotta you gotta figure

152
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 4: out the details on our podcast. Yeah, that's a good idea,

153
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 4: it is.

154
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 3: So with that being said, on that note, we are

155
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 3: going to give you what we think about Nebraska for

156
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 3: a fresh extra report here at the beginning of archery season,

157
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 3: kind of as a celebration of what's a week Tyler Jones,

158
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 3: knowing what you know about what's going down right now

159
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 3: in the state of Nebraska, what would you give the

160
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 3: next week on a scale of one to ten for

161
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 3: predicted buck movement?

162
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 2: I give a reason why.

163
00:07:54,240 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 4: Yes, I would predict that buck movement will end, and

164
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 4: I will predict that it will move from a four

165
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 4: to a six.

166
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 2: But give them the Midwest six. It's a Midwest six

167
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 2: in there. Way to go to.

168
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 4: By the way, if you hear somebody from the Midwest

169
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 4: on Refresh and it ain't the rut, it's probably gonna

170
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 4: be a six. That's a very thing. It's like, oh,

171
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 4: it's a little bit optimistic, you know. It's kind of like, man,

172
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 4: we might get somebody in there that can change our policies,

173
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 4: and this thing is better for us.

174
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 2: Who knows? It seems like we.

175
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 4: I think that, Oh you have reasons, so yeah, yeah,

176
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 4: the reasons is. The main reason is there's a pretty

177
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 4: good cold front coming across kind of Midwest, and I

178
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 4: think that what I have noticed in the last week

179
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 4: of hunting has been, like you said, slow mornings and

180
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:50,079
Speaker 4: even the evenings. It's been hot enough that it has

181
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 4: kind of stifled the It's almost compressed the movement. I

182
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 4: feel like, into a it's just hot and windy. So

183
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 4: everything is like last minute. And I have a real

184
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 4: good reason as of last night why that's the case.

185
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 4: But like twenty minutes before shooting light, all of a sudden,

186
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 4: it was just like a wave of deer right and

187
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 4: I saw that the first evening I hunted too, where

188
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 4: it was like everything just right at dark just started

189
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,559
Speaker 4: to really I mean, you see some those early on Nebraska,

190
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 4: but like all the bucks just ride at dark Man,

191
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 4: So I think that it will increase. It'll bump a

192
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 4: point or two going into maybe three to five. It's

193
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 4: caught three to five.

194
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, it sounds pretty good. I'm about right there.

195
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 3: I don't think i'd change what you had to say

196
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 3: on that at all. I would also add though, that

197
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 3: from my observations, the bucks were still in bachelor groups,

198
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 3: but they were a little looser and everybody.

199
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,719
Speaker 2: Was feeling the juice.

200
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 3: They started scraping while we were hunting and rubbing, and

201
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 3: in fact, I saw a mature buck come over and

202
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 3: run or kind of bumped, didn't run him off, but

203
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 3: bumped a two year old who was rubbing, and he

204
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 3: went to rubbing on the same So I think that

205
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 3: within the next week we're going to see those bachelor

206
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 3: groups start to really break apart. And if you've had

207
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 3: deer patterned, that could be bad for you. But if

208
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 3: you haven't and you've been wondering where the bucks are,

209
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 3: that could be a really exciting time for you because

210
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:21,239
Speaker 3: they're gonna So deer aren't territorial from what I understand,

211
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 3: but they are aggressive, and they have a hierarchy, you know,

212
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 3: a level of who's dominant. So you're going to end

213
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 3: up with these little bubbles that bucks kind of try

214
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:34,559
Speaker 3: to stay out of, and that's whey they starts craping

215
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 3: and doing all that stuff. Anyways, I think that if

216
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 3: you haven't been seeing bucks, there's a chance you start

217
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 3: having bucks show up this week with the cold weather

218
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 3: and the dispersion. So it's a good time of the

219
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 3: year to be a whitetail hunter. Let's go listen to

220
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 3: what the guys have to say for reports. I've gotten

221
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 3: Nathan Koenig from Alberta, Canada with Vortex Canada. He has

222
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 3: been doing some whitetail hunting up in the North Country.

223
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 2: Hey, dude, what's up, man?

224
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 5: This is it man.

225
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:04,079
Speaker 6: I just got back from a fifteen day hunting trip,

226
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 6: a successful hunting trip, so things are winding down a

227
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 6: bit for me, but picking up for probably a lot

228
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 6: of the people out here in the woods.

229
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:13,559
Speaker 2: Dude, that's awesome.

230
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 3: I that sounds like a pretty long ago of it

231
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 3: for fifteen days, but I'm glad to hear you had

232
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 3: some success. You killed a really nice wattail buck from

233
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 3: what I saw. Can you tell me what the hunting

234
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 3: was like.

235
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 2: Was it hot? Was it tough? What was going on

236
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 2: up there? Oh?

237
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 6: Man, it was a lot, a lot of deer movement,

238
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,959
Speaker 6: Lots of dos and smaller bucks have been out seeding,

239
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 6: laid into the mornings and early early in the evenings

240
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 6: up until dark. So it's been it's been pretty awesome. Actually,

241
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 6: the mature bucks they seem to be hiding a little bit,

242
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 6: probably out exploring their territories, maybe taking inventory of does,

243
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,559
Speaker 6: but they've been fairly patternable, So it's been. It's been good.

244
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 6: It was an awesome hunt for sure, Nathan.

245
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 2: They eating.

246
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 6: A lot of a lot of alf alpha, a lot

247
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:07,079
Speaker 6: of hayfield.

248
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:08,439
Speaker 5: I've been finding them in.

249
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, are there are there any Are they doing any

250
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 4: any native brows options up there right now?

251
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 2: Is it pretty much? Ag is just a way to go?

252
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 6: I would say it's the way to go. I've basically

253
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 6: I stuck to all the eggs because the deer's are

254
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 6: are piling in. It's starting to get cooler in the evening,

255
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 6: so I think they're starting to try and get that

256
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 6: fat layer built up for the nasty winters we have

257
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 6: up here.

258
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 4: Can you correlate that cooler temperatures with an earlier movement

259
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 4: from those bucks in the evenings.

260
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,439
Speaker 6: I would say the little, the littler, the smaller bucks,

261
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,679
Speaker 6: less mature bucks are moving trying to get that feed

262
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 6: and hanging out a little bit with the doors. But

263
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 6: the more mature bucks they're starting now that it's getting cooler,

264
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 6: just starting to explore the territory and uh looking, you know,

265
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 6: take inventory of those dolls, seeing where they're at.

266
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 2: So, alfalfa is kind of a.

267
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 3: Different food source than a lot of the other agriculture,

268
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 3: right because it's always there that doesn't rotate very much.

269
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 3: Is there any rhyme or reason to what makes a

270
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,679
Speaker 3: a alfalfa field good?

271
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 6: I think it's just a field that you know, the

272
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 6: farmers aren't in all, aren't in laid into the fall,

273
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 6: and they're once they get that second cut of hay off,

274
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 6: it grows grows back. So there's lots of food there

275
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 6: for them, lots of good nutrients. Yeah, they love it,

276
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 6: They love that stuff.

277
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 3: Do you think that the moon had any effect on

278
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 3: the hunting the past a little bit here? You know,

279
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 3: we had a full moon cycle just went through.

280
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 6: You know, I started hunting and it was the new moon,

281
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 6: and by the time I was finishing up my hunt,

282
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,680
Speaker 6: it was the full moon, the harvest moon, and I honestly,

283
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,599
Speaker 6: I didn't see a huge difference in the amount of

284
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,839
Speaker 6: deer movement from one of my hunt till the end.

285
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 6: I was seeing the same you know, twenty five dos

286
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 6: and six bucks out in the field, and the big

287
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 6: the big deer that I did see, they seem to

288
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 6: be on on a site like a rotation. So I've

289
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 6: seen them every ten days, so I've seen them. My

290
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 6: second day of the hunt, I saw two big bucks,

291
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 6: and then on my twelfth day of my hunt, I

292
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 6: saw the same two big bucks in the same field.

293
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 4: That's interesting. So going forward, you got some cooler tamps

294
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 4: that you've been talking about. Uh, we got some different

295
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 4: moon cycles. Are you thinking like in the next week

296
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 4: that there would be better hunting or and also would

297
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 4: you hunt like the same pattern or would you do

298
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 4: something different?

299
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 6: I think the I think the bucks are going to

300
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 6: be starting to get a little more nocturnal. I think

301
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 6: it's gonna you're going to get that kind of an

302
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 6: October lull where the bigger bucks are again they're just touring,

303
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 6: coming out feeding later because they're They're smart. They know

304
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 6: they know that hunting season's coming as soon as that

305
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 6: first frost shows up, and they seem to just start

306
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 6: going nocturnal. So I do think that for mature bus

307
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 6: it's gonna you're gonna you're gonna be waiting a little

308
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 6: longer and potentially not seeing them out as much during

309
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 6: the day.

310
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 2: Gotcha.

311
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 4: So if you had to, if you had to rate

312
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 4: the buck movement in the next week based off of

313
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 4: any moon weather variables or just even diurnal period, would

314
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 4: you what would you rate it on a scale of

315
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 4: one to ten?

316
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 2: What you just your your prediction.

317
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 6: I think the last week was probably up there. It

318
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 6: was probably an eighth. But I think in the next

319
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 6: coming weeks it's, like I said, it's going to slow

320
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 6: down a bit. Probably, I'd give it a six out

321
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 6: of ten. Okay, to be a little.

322
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 2: Slower, gotcha. Gotcha. Well awesome, dude.

323
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 3: Well we really appreciate the report from Canada and I

324
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 3: hope you have a great risk of the fall.

325
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 6: No problem, thanks lot, guys, have a great day all.

326
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 4: Right now on the phone, I've got Scotty Lego. Scotty

327
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 4: is an Olympic medallist and also just a hunting Attic

328
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 4: from New Hampshire. What's going on, Scotty?

329
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 5: Hey, how you guys doing.

330
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 4: We're doing well, man, We're uh Actually, I'll say this,

331
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 4: So when you go up north, out of Texas and

332
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 4: other places in the South, you end up in places

333
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 4: that don't really spend a lot of time or money

334
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 4: on ac and so frankly, it's pretty hot where we're

335
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 4: sitting right now. We're indoors and you know, it's like

336
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 4: ninety where we're hunting, so pretty warm. But other than that, man,

337
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 4: I can't complain. How's everything going for you?

338
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 5: Yeez ah, Yeah, everything's going good, man.

339
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 7: Just it's the season that we've all been waiting for

340
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 7: us is here and I'm about fifteen days into it

341
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 7: or a.

342
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 5: Little bit over.

343
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 7: But yeah, sign's starting to pop up in the woods

344
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 7: and it's a good, good time to be out there,

345
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 7: and it's it is definitely a little abnormally warm, but

346
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 7: nothing nothing like ninety degrees going out hunting in your shorts.

347
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 2: Yeah.

348
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, Well we've been trying to find our way lately.

349
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,160
Speaker 4: You've been finding your way in the elk woods and

350
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 4: in the deer woods. Talk a little bit though about

351
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 4: what the deer have been doing in New Hampshire.

352
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 8: Yeah, so we have.

353
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 7: You know, we have a decent population where I live.

354
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 7: You know, I'm in southern New Hampshire. I can't speak

355
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 7: for the northern part of New Hampshire because that's a

356
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 7: world of difference. But yeah, you know, the deer move

357
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 7: in and there are This year is pretty different as

358
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:36,880
Speaker 7: far for a couple of different things. This acorns are

359
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:43,360
Speaker 7: super heavy this year, and apples and beech nuts and

360
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 7: essentially everything that can drop is dropping. So I think

361
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 7: it's spreading the deer belt, which is kind of dropping

362
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 7: deer sightings down a little bit. But yeah, they're out

363
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 7: there and I'm starting to see bucks laying down, some signs,

364
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 7: starting to see scrapes opened up, you know, trees being

365
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,639
Speaker 7: rubbed up, and yeah, I'm just I'm just trying to

366
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 7: hone in on a big one right now.

367
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 2: That's cool, man.

368
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 3: So beech nuts are intriguing because I don't know if

369
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 3: a large portion of the country has that as a

370
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:21,360
Speaker 3: hard mass crop. Is that pretty much just in sequence

371
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 3: with when acorns are or when does when does the

372
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 3: heaviest part of that hit the ground and how much

373
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 3: do the deer hit them?

374
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, they're they're dropping right now.

375
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:34,959
Speaker 7: I think they are not even close to what an

376
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 7: acorn would be or what in white acorn would be.

377
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 7: As far as preference, I think, you know, if they're

378
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 7: in their way or if they had nothing else, they'll

379
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 7: definitely hit them.

380
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,639
Speaker 5: But it's nothing I would really key in on.

381
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 7: Maybe if I can get close to, you know, a

382
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 7: buck buck betting area or where I suspect he might

383
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:57,119
Speaker 7: be and that might be the first first tree he

384
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,399
Speaker 7: might go hit mill, that might be a factor.

385
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,360
Speaker 5: But yeah, they don't, they don't really love them.

386
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 7: But in some areas where they don't have a lot

387
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,919
Speaker 7: of oaks, like up north, they'll definitely key in on

388
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:12,400
Speaker 7: them and bear as well too.

389
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 2: Are you doing any morning hunting right now or is

390
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 2: it a lot of evenings.

391
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,439
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm doing a little bit of both. I will

392
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 7: I won't go to my I guess my best spots

393
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 7: in the morning because I have no clue where they

394
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,880
Speaker 7: might be coming coming from or how they're.

395
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 5: Getting into their bedding area.

396
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 7: But you know, we're I love shooting dose, so where

397
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 7: a lot of it's you know, a couple of dough tags,

398
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 7: actually three dough tags where I'm at, so I love

399
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 7: having that opportunity as well.

400
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,120
Speaker 4: Scotty, is the moon played into any of the hunting

401
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 4: lately do you feel like?

402
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,880
Speaker 7: To be honest, I don't really pay attention to it

403
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 7: too much. I know some people live and die by it.

404
00:19:57,720 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 7: I know some people don't believe in it. I just

405
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:03,199
Speaker 7: don't really, I don't really know to be quite so.

406
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 7: I did notice though the other day, when uh, one

407
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 7: of your one of your guests on Rockfresh, He's like, yeah,

408
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 7: you know, like I noticed there's a lot of midday

409
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,919
Speaker 7: activity when it was a I think it was a

410
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 7: full moon. And sure enough, you know, I ended up

411
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 7: seeing quite a few deer out in the open middle

412
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 7: of the day. But that also had we had a

413
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:33,159
Speaker 7: slight drizzle, slight rain, so that could have been a

414
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 7: factor as well.

415
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:35,160
Speaker 5: We're undetermined.

416
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,919
Speaker 3: Well, looking forward, I see, uh, the weather forecast for

417
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 3: New Hampshire is pretty flatline, you know. Uh, there's not

418
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 3: a lot of fronts or anything moving through over the

419
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 3: next week. So uh, as you look to the next week,

420
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 3: what would you rate your prediction for buck movement on

421
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 3: a scale of one to ten.

422
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 9: Oh?

423
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 7: Man, I hate I hate to discourage anyone out there,

424
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 7: and I'm an optimist, but I guess to give it

425
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 7: a three point five just for a couple of different factors.

426
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 7: One just the flatline weather abnormally warm, and I think

427
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 7: just having the deer right out with all kinds of

428
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,880
Speaker 7: sources available. I think we'll limit your number of sightings,

429
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 7: but I'm gonna go three point five to four.

430
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 4: I killed a buck on a two out of one

431
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 4: hundred days, so sometimes it can work, man. So I

432
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 4: appreciate the honest report, Scottie, and uh, just the good

433
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 4: thoughts about different food sources and those kind of things.

434
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:32,719
Speaker 2: Man.

435
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 4: Hopefully we'll get to have you back on sometime later

436
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 4: this year, maybe give us another New Hampshire report, maybe

437
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 4: when it's rocking and rolling up there. Appreciate your time man,

438
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:44,640
Speaker 4: and and your optimism at times as well, and hopefully

439
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 4: we'll get to talk to you again.

440
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 2: Man. I hope you kill a big buck.

441
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 5: All right? Thank you guys, you as well. Good luck.

442
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 2: This is Jimmy Shyy. He gets after it in Central Pa.

443
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 2: Up in Pennsylvania.

444
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 3: Uh, they take a lot of pictures of elk, but

445
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 3: kill some really nice white tail bucks as well.

446
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 8: What's up, dude, all working, hunting, loving life man.

447
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:22,120
Speaker 2: That's it.

448
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 3: Man, that sounds like a pretty good time. Y'all actually

449
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 3: had some pretty good success here in the past week.

450
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,120
Speaker 3: Your your girlfriend shot a real nice buck.

451
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 8: Yep opening day and we don't only had one day

452
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:35,880
Speaker 8: to hunt so far this year and it paid off.

453
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,679
Speaker 3: So that's cool, man. So what tactic were you using

454
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 3: to set up on that deal?

455
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 8: I just had I hide her set up on a

456
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 8: little transition area where I knew they were betting.

457
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 7: Uh.

458
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 8: They were kind of feeding along a ridge acorn ridge

459
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 8: up into some soybeans that the neighboring property highs planted.

460
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:58,199
Speaker 4: So when you say transition, you mean like some like

461
00:22:58,320 --> 00:22:59,919
Speaker 4: cover to more open hardwoods.

462
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 8: Yeah, the bottom there is real thick cover, and they

463
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:05,680
Speaker 8: come up over the ridge and they kind of crease

464
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 8: top of the hill. It's a little oak flat, and

465
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 8: then they go into the soybeans.

466
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 4: Is there a place to get them on the top

467
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 4: of the hill. Is there a saddle there or something

468
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 4: like that, or are you just.

469
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 8: Kind of there's kind of like a little saddle there,

470
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 8: And they seem to be liking the one side of

471
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,639
Speaker 8: it more than the other. So I put her standing

472
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 8: there near my trail camera and they just read the

473
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 8: script they've been doing all the last couple of months.

474
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 2: There, Yeah, just big white okay acorns.

475
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 8: Uh, there's a mixed red and white. But the whites

476
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:34,120
Speaker 8: are doing really really well this year.

477
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 3: So you said they were decinating at soybeans. Are those

478
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:38,679
Speaker 3: beans still green or they turning yellow?

479
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 2: Right now?

480
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 5: They're still green?

481
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,439
Speaker 8: Oh wow, I've seen some of them are turning a

482
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 8: little bit, but there's still.

483
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 2: Quite a few of screen got you man? That's cool.

484
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 3: So as we look forward kind of like to this

485
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 3: next week, here, are they still gonna be doing the

486
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 3: same whereas those beans start to change and the acorns

487
00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 3: kind of change, are are you gonna be looking at

488
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 3: doing something different?

489
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 8: I'm gonna be looking into and they typically, you know,

490
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 8: after a couple of weeks of archery and pa here

491
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 8: they changed changed tactics a little bit and started heading

492
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,159
Speaker 8: closer to the betting where I'll try to target.

493
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:16,640
Speaker 2: So you know, it was a it was a full

494
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 2: moon recently. Did that affect you y'all?

495
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,120
Speaker 8: It almost seemed like it did. Yeah, I'd imagine it.

496
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 2: Did negatively or positively.

497
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 8: I think positively. I think I was kind of prepared

498
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:30,160
Speaker 8: for this year. I haven't really paid attention in years prior,

499
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,160
Speaker 8: and I tried to pay attention a little more this year,

500
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 8: and I was hoping just from reading when they were

501
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:37,639
Speaker 8: gonna move, and they actually moved very close to what

502
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 8: was projected online.

503
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:40,400
Speaker 2: How about that?

504
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 4: Man, y'all fixing to make me a moon believer up

505
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 4: on this podcast, Dude, I'm telling.

506
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:48,199
Speaker 2: You moon believer off fair well.

507
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 3: Ago you told me that you had a a number

508
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 3: one buck that's still out running around.

509
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 2: Is that a buck you're going to try to move

510
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:56,399
Speaker 2: in on this week?

511
00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 8: That's that's the one I'm hoping I's wum mainly targeting

512
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 8: on and I'm trying not to push them too hard,

513
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 8: but not having a lot of time to hunt, I'm

514
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 8: trying to also be a little aggressive as well.

515
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 2: So with that aggression, are you are you doing running

516
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:11,640
Speaker 2: gun setups or are you just kind of picking the

517
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:13,680
Speaker 2: preset stand that you think is the best chance.

518
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 8: I'm kind of I don't normally do run and gun.

519
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 8: I use a saddle and I just try to try

520
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:21,679
Speaker 8: to follow the sign around as best I can and

521
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:23,400
Speaker 8: try to scout as much as I can and read

522
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 8: the cameras.

523
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,640
Speaker 4: So if you're going forward in the next week, you're

524
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 4: going to be. Are you going to still be thinking

525
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 4: about moon stuff and trying to trying to create uh

526
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 4: success through when those like predicted movement times are based

527
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 4: off the moon.

528
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 8: I'm going to keep an eye on it. Like I'm

529
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 8: not a totally firm believer, but I mean I'm you know,

530
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:45,239
Speaker 8: at one time and done. I don't know if it's

531
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,640
Speaker 8: a coincidence or not. So yeah, yeah, I don't want

532
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:49,159
Speaker 8: to I don't want to rely on it too heavy,

533
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 8: but I think it could be something to look into.

534
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, cool man, So uh in the next week based

535
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,920
Speaker 4: off of obviously moon, since your believer now, and uh,

536
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,159
Speaker 4: whether and anything else very wise that you can think of.

537
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 4: What would you rate the buck movement predicted buck movement

538
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 4: on a scale of one to ten.

539
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 8: I think we're gonna be mid range four or five.

540
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 8: I think a lot of deer is still pretty nocturnal,

541
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 8: but I think you can still catch in like unpressured areas.

542
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 8: You might see some decing before it are or right

543
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 8: by for daylight movement.

544
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 2: Gotcha, gotcha? Yea cool.

545
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 3: That's a pretty good, honest report. I think that's pretty

546
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 3: realistic for this time of year. And I'll tell you

547
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 3: what sounds like You've got a beat on him there

548
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 3: in central Pennsylvania, and I hope you get after that

549
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:35,360
Speaker 3: big number one target bug.

550
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:35,640
Speaker 2: Dude.

551
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:38,080

Speaker 4: I've got Parker McDonald from the Southern Collective. He's out

556
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 4: in West Virginia just editing and driving roads and hunting

557
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 4: and getting reports and all kinds of stuff.

558
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 2: Man, what's going on?

559
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 9: Oh dude, just sitting outside and join the view. I've

560
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:01,440
Speaker 9: never been to West Virginia before, and let something. It's

561
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 9: a it's a big country out here.

562
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, is it? Are you in the hills? Oh yeah, yeah,

563
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:07,360
Speaker 2: oh yeah.

564
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 10: If it's not the hills, then I don't know what else?

565
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:12,400
Speaker 2: What else would yeah? Yeah? Have you uh you done

566
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:13,440
Speaker 2: any hollering.

567
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 10: A couple of times?

568
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, yep, that's.

569
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 4: Any Oliver Anthony's out there hollering back at you.

570
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:25,159
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, definitely.

571
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 3: It's just Appalaysia, baby. West Virginia is known for Mountain Mama's.

572
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 3: But have you seen any Mountain papas is in big

573
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 3: Bucks out there?

574
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:32,959
Speaker 1: Uh?

575
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 10: So they're here, They're absolutely here.

576
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 9: It's like it's so crazy out in the in these

577
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 9: woods because there's so big, the country is so vast,

578
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 9: and it's like it's a very much a you gotta grind,

579
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 9: you gotta really want it.

580
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 10: You got to put in the sweat equity.

581
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,399
Speaker 9: But when you get there to the places, there's a

582
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:55,879
Speaker 9: good chance that there's gonna be some payoff there, you

583
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 9: know what I mean.

584
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:57,639
Speaker 2: Like, yeah, I do.

585
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:00,399
Speaker 4: I don't like that too, man, Like just the feeling

586
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 4: that if you put in the work, it's you got

587
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 4: a high chance instead of like I don't know, in

588
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,159
Speaker 4: East Texas, you might be putting in the work and

589
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 4: still just end up hunting right next to it, dude,

590
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 4: you know whatever, not having a good chance.

591
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:13,399
Speaker 9: So you put in the work, You put in the

592
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 9: work in it, and it's still a game of odds.

593
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 9: Whereas when you put in the work out here, you're

594
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 9: it's always going to be a game of ods, I

595
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,199
Speaker 9: guess with deer hunting, but it's going to be uh,

596
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:24,640
Speaker 9: you're gonna have greater odds.

597
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 2: To sure to get there sure.

598
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 10: I think. I think that's kind of the theme that

599
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:28,120
Speaker 10: we've seen.

600
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 3: So this week we've talked to a lot of people

601
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 3: who are relating deer to agriculture, and I would imagine

602
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:36,440
Speaker 3: that's not what's going on out there.

603
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 2: So what those deer doing.

604
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 9: Yeah, most of the deer that have been seen have

605
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 9: been either on acrons right, just like most places in

606
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 9: the country. Early October and in late September we were

607
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 9: seeing that in North Dakota as well. But so right now,

608
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 9: the white oaks are just starting to drop here in

609
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 9: West Virginia. It's been super dry, not been a whole

610
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 9: lot of rain, and it's it's just been hot, you know.

611
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 10: So they're just now starting to drop. And so a

612
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 10: lot of the guys are seeing them out there.

613
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 9: But then guys are seeing them in the in the open,

614
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 9: like the open reclaimed stuff where there's a ton of

615
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 9: new growth and green stuff, and so that's what they're seeing.

616
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 9: I mean, if you if you're gonna kind of relate

617
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 9: agriculture to something, I would probably relate it to that. Sure,

618
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 9: those those big open like a clear cut basically it's

619
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 9: gonna do the same thing.

620
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 2: Have there been Have you seen any lunar effects on

621
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 2: deer movement?

622
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 1: Oh?

623
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 10: Man, I don't know that I could honestly answer that question.

624
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 10: I guess we've been here for about four days and

625
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 10: it's been.

626
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 2: I think the way the mood has.

627
00:29:56,480 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 10: Been bright overhead around like middle of the night probably

628
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 10: you know, the whole time.

629
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 2: Hm.

630
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 9: So so you know, we don't know it's been the

631
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 9: same basically the whole time, So we don't know what

632
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 9: was like before.

633
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 2: And sure it might be like afterwards. Gotcha.

634
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 3: Well, if you look forward to the next week, there

635
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 3: is like a rain front coming this weekend when it's

636
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 3: gonna bring some cooler temperatures.

637
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 2: What do you think that's going to do the deer?

638
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 6: Oh?

639
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 10: Man, I mean, what I think is gonna happen is

640
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 10: if we get some rain here.

641
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 9: Friday, I think there's supposed to be a pretty big

642
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 9: temperature drop here and over the weekend. I think that

643
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 9: you're gonna start seeing Number one, you're gonna start seeing

644
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 9: maybe some more acres start dropping and be able to

645
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 9: pinpoint those hot food sources in the hills. And number two,

646
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 9: you're gonna start being able to find fresher sign right

647
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 9: like if it's not raining, you're gonna be.

648
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 10: Able to start finding that.

649
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 9: And then you add that on top of a cold front,

650
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 9: and the deer're gonna actually being up moving. I think

651
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 9: it's gonna do a lot for just being able to

652
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 9: be effective as a deer hunter and also the deer

653
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 9: being on their feet.

654
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 4: Oh man, let's go so scale a one to ten.

655
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 4: What would you predict buck movement to be like in
