Speaker 3: That's us.

39
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 2: So, uh, we've got some rough, fresh interviews today. I

40
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 2: don't know if y'all know this, but it's the month

41
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 2: of November and it's a big deal. Yeah, So these

42
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 2: are the big times, the good stuff to listen to.

43
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 3: We've got some crazy stuff talk about here in a bit.

44
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 2: But I believe that there's a good number of you

45
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 2: sitting there sad, quiet alone, just crying in your pillow

46
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 2: because it's after November tenth and the rut's over.

47
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 3: For the rest of your life is that the right tiler.

48
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 3: Is that right? No, Oh, my gosh, it's not.

49
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 6: No. No, listen, y'all. The rutt is raging right now.

50
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 6: It's raging.

51
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:27,799
Speaker 4: You know what. Else, I'm gonna give you a little

52
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 4: bit optimism here.

53
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 3: I need it.

54
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 6: Once, I'm serious. Once I was talking to Greg about

55
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 6: this this morning. Once the doe, once the bucks have

56
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 6: made their rounds to all the family dough groups and

57
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 6: a lot of the does become bred, the bucks get

58
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 6: more active even or at least they're more visible.

59
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 4: Right.

60
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 6: So, in other words, this buck is still full of testosterone.

61
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,839
Speaker 6: He's still mad at the world. He still thinks he's

62
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 6: got breeding rights to everything that walks right now. And

63
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 6: he also knows that there are a bunch of does

64
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 6: that are not in heat anymore or whatever not. They've

65
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 6: already been bred, and so he has to make these

66
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 6: rounds longer and longer and longer to find the dough

67
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 6: last does that aren't bred. And then eventually, in my opinion,

68
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 6: there's what a lot of people call the second rut,

69
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 6: which happens when a lot of times, when you know,

70
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:25,799
Speaker 6: depending on buckdough ratios, if there wasn't something that was bred,

71
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 6: you know, a month later then it'll come back in

72
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 6: or for the six month old deer that are kind

73
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 6: of just becoming mature enough to do the thing right.

74
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 6: So there's a lot of hope involved right now. In fact,

75
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 6: I think a lot of guys would agree. But for

76
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 6: me in the Midwest, the Thanksgiving area has always been

77
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 6: a really good time for me in my opinion. I

78
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 6: actually one eyed jack. I shot that deer in twenty

79
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 6: fifteen and he was following a big mature dough on

80
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 6: Decemimber second. So there's there's great things that happen. That's

81
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 6: a as a Kansas deer, y'all. I mean, those these

82
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 6: are deer that behave like the quote unquote Midwest deer

83
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 6: that everybody thinks November seventh is the last day they

84
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 6: do anything right. So have hope, have hope that it

85
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 6: will it can happen.

86
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 2: I've talked to many killers, actually not just Tyler, who

87
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 2: say that they like the teens in November the best

88
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 2: for killing and likes this big mature deer.

89
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 3: I'm not.

90
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 2: I don't personally have the experience of that to to

91
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 2: confirm or deny, but I can see where they out there. Yeah,

92
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 2: and you go find them and it works. One of

93
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 2: the things, honestly that at least in our neck of

94
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 2: the woods, that you could have going for you is

95
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 2: that the cover gets more sparse and the deer in

96
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 2: the open because you have frosts. So a lot of

97
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 2: the country gets the first frost between October twenty eighth

98
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 2: and November seventh, and that's going to cause leaves to fall.

99
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 2: It's gonna cause the grass turn brown and die and

100
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 2: fall over and it and like, things can look a

101
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 2: lot different from Halloween to you know, November tenth, and

102
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 2: you can find visible deer ye, So get out there,

103
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 2: get your glass out if you hadn't. You know, there's

104
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 2: a lot of guys that kill big dogs that way. Well,

00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 2: hot temps and all that.

159
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 3: Well, how's it looking up there.

160
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 7: It's been pretty pretty good.

161
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 8: Yeah.

162
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 5: Yeah.

163
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,559
Speaker 7: A lot of active bucks in Michigan, that's for sure.

164
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 3: That's cool, man. I heard all the bucks got killed

165
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 3: in Michigan.

166
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 2: That's what people say, Like at one point five is

167
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 2: meture buck there, right.

168
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 8: You know, it seems to be the trend until this

169
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 8: time of year, and then they just start showing.

170
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 7: Up, you know.

171
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 3: So yeah that's cool man.

172
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, I've been I've been fortunate.

173
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 8: I actually just moved to Michigan about two months ago,

174
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 8: so it's my first full season here, so it's all

175
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 8: new to me. But you know, yeah, I was able

176
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 8: to get a nice buck down and then I've seen

177
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 8: multiple other really nice nine to ten point type bucks

178
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 8: with good frames.

179
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 3: And yeah, I don't know.

180
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 8: What the what all the the attitude about Michigan is about, honestly,

181
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 8: because I'm seeing great bucks here.

182
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, I mean there's been some big ones killed there,

183
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 2: for sure. I think it's just a lot of hunters,

184
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 2: which translates to a lot of pressure. But there's a

185
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 2: lot of deer, so everybody gets to have fun. Yep,

186
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 2: for sure, what are those deer doing that you're seeing

187
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 2: come again, like the deer that you're that you had

188
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 2: success with, and the other bucks that you've seen around.

189
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 2: What are they doing are they are they doing a

190
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 2: bed to feed things still? Are they scraping or are

191
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 2: they chasing?

192
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 7: Dose?

193
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 8: Yeah, they're scraping. They seem to be cruising.

194
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 7: I have not seen a single buck chasing all all fall,

195
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 7: so that seems a little weird to me.

196
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 8: I feel like, in you know, previous years, primarily being

197
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 8: in my home base of Wisconsin, you know, there'd be.

198
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 7: A lot of chasing by now.

199
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 8: But and I was in Wisconsin last week too, and

200
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 8: I did not see any chasing there either.

201
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 7: But as it was weird.

202
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 8: But yeah, a lot of bucks moving in the morning,

203
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 8: and it's it's kind of been like really warm mid

204
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 8: day around south central Wisconsin and Michigan, So I don't know,

205
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 8: mostly morning activity.

206
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,599
Speaker 3: That's directly related to temperature.

207
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 7: I don't know.

208
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 8: I heard that the acorn crop has been just like

209
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 8: off the charts and it's keeping dear more local. I

210
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 8: don't know if that's something you've been hearing as well.

211
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,839
Speaker 3: But around the country it seems to be the case.

212
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:21,959
Speaker 2: I mean, it is in East Texas, I just talked

213
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 2: to Michael Pittson in Georgia.

214
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 3: He said the same thing. So it seems as if

215
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 3: that's that's what's going on.

216
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 7: That's pretty interesting.

217
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 8: I would have thought that just it being the rut

218
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 8: would kind of overrule all other factors.

219
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 7: Whether it's warmer, cold, or acorns or not or whatever.

220
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 8: But it's definitely, in my experience, the last couple of

221
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:44,680
Speaker 8: weeks seem to be.

222
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 7: The least ruddy rut like that I've experienced.

223
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 3: That's weird, man.

224
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 2: Well, do you think that the just consistency that's on

225
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 2: the weather charts right now is going to help or

226
00:10:59,160 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 2: hurt that?

227
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 8: I don't know. I've just I've been wround this whole

228
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 8: season so far, so I'm not sure what.

229
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 3: To expect, you know. Yeah, but yeah.

230
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 8: It's it's on these colder mornings like this morning, my

231
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 8: son and I were out, we had a couple a

232
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 8: couple of good Bucks come through, and then it just

233
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 8: kind of shut off, you know, by ten o'clock or so,

234
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 8: and that's just when the temperatures kind of spikes and

235
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 8: and we just kind of get bored.

236
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 3: So are y'all hunting like deep in cover or are

237
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:35,439
Speaker 3: you doing the field edge thing.

238
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 7: It's a mix of both.

239
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 8: I got this property in Michigan that borders a golf course,

240
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 8: so I can see him out on.

241
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 7: The golf course.

242
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, but then we're back in the cover,

243
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:53,839
Speaker 8: so they kind of you know, head back in these

244
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 8: cut trails and stuff. So true you can see them

245
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 8: coming before they hit the timber. So that's kind of yeah,

246
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 8: that is cool. Yeah, it's been fun, but no, not

247
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 8: not really doing the field edge thing, not so much.

248
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 3: Yeah.

249
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 2: So if you were to look ahead for the next

250
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,079
Speaker 2: week and to rate the next week on a scale

251
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 2: of one to ten for buck movement, what would you call.

252
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 7: It, I'd say in Michigan that'd be like a eight.

253
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 3: Oh that's pretty good. Yeah.

254
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 7: I mean I've had.

255
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 8: Like a good shooters come through every set for the

256
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 8: last week, and it's kind of it kind of seems

257
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 8: to be just.

258
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 7: The frequency is kind of going up.

259
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 8: And I've got I've got one buck tag left here

260
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 8: in Michigan, so I'm I'm kind of saving it for

261
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 8: a special one.

262
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 7: But but the.

263
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 8: Opportunities, for sure, they're like, uh, they seem to be

264
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 8: cruising hard. Yeah, but again just like that, I don't know,

265
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 8: I don't see him dogging does.

266
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:13,559
Speaker 2: Like so, well, who knows that point in time, you know,

267
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,079
Speaker 2: like it is November and you gave it an eight.

268
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 3: So they're listening and they're going to cooperate. I think so.

269
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 3: I think that this is your week.

270
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 9: Man.

271
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 3: You're gonna fill that last buck tag on a giant

272
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 3: I hope.

273
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 8: So fire arms open tomorrow, So that's a wild card.

274
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, yep.

275
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 7: Well I'm gonna just keep it up and try to

276
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 7: make it happen.

277
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 3: That's right.

278
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 2: Ride the roller coaster, man. I appreciate the report. You

279
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 2: bet on the phone. I have got my buddy Patrick

280
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,319
Speaker 2: pay Singer from dead End Game Calls. I used to

281
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 2: call him Big Pat, but he's kind of medium Pat

282
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 2: these days. You've been slimming up Patrick.

283
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 10: Yes, I have had to keep over those kiddos.

284
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:52,559
Speaker 3: I guarantee you, man, and keep up chasing them.

285
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 4: Deer.

286
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 2: You're up in Kansas right now. Actually we are sharing

287
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 2: a state at the moment. We're both in Kansas and

288
00:13:57,920 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 2: trying to find some big whitetail bucks.

289
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 3: You put in eyes on any.

290
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 9: Yes, sir, I am seeing a lot riding around. Been

291
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 9: just doing some road scouting in the mornings and seeing

292
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 9: them on their feet.

293
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guarantee you man.

294
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 2: It's like, I don't know, different parts of the country

295
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 2: the rut looks different. And in Kansas, this later I

296
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 2: don't know if you call it later, but you know,

297
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 2: at least kind of middle of the rut seems to

298
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 2: really get them deer out running around.

299
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 3: Is that what you're seeing?

300
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 10: Yeah, that's exactly what I say. It seems like.

301
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 9: The week leading into Thanksgiving is always the best in Kansas,

302
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 9: at least a part southeastern Kansas where I'm at, the

303
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 9: bigger boys get up closer, you get the Thanksgiving.

304
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, And that's that's exciting too, because you know

305
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 2: sometimes people look at like once the first ten days

306
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 2: of November is over, it's like over. It's like, no, man,

307
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 2: there's a lot of good stuff going on right now,

308
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 2: that's right. Yeah, yeah, So what are the deer really doing?

309
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 2: Are they targeting dough betting areas? Are they heading the

310
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 2: food or like, what do you say seeing bucks doing

311
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 2: right now?

312
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 9: What I'm seeing is a mixture of I'm seeing some

313
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 9: single mature bucks out with those out in the middle

314
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 9: of the pastures and the stage, and then I'm just

315
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 9: seeing loan cruisers, cruisies, ditches and fence rows looking for those.

316
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 3: Are you seeing big mature bucks doing that?

317
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, it's just seems like the transition

318
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 9: right now from young immature bucks to mature bucks getting

319
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 9: on their feet this week.

320
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, so is that you think that's is that weather related?

321
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 2: Is it dates or what makes that happen?

322
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 10: I think it's dates. I think it would be even

323
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 10: better if it was a little bit cooler.

324
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're looking at a pretty pretty I wouldn't call

325
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 2: it bleak outlook, but it's just a very monotonous weather

326
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 2: pattern that we're in, you know, for the foreseeable future.

327
00:15:56,640 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 2: We're looking at similar dates, which I guess be good, right,

328
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 2: I mean, if you got a pattern, they're going to

329
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 2: hold to it.

330
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 5: Yeah.

331
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 9: Yeah, it is very stagnant weather. It's actually working really

332
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 9: good because I'm targeting a specific big mature buck and

333
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 9: he is not on a dough. He's going from betting

334
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 9: to feed and uh so it's better for me trying

335
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 9: to hunt one single buck of not having him chasing

336
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 9: and on a dough.

337
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 3: Right now, How are you getting the intel about this buck?

338
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 10: Trail cameras?

339
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you're running cameras running celle cameras and getting

340
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 2: pictures of you having to go check cards or what

341
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 2: do you do with that?

342
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 10: No, I'm running a Browning cell phone camera. Yeah, and

343
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 10: it's it's.

344
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 9: Just outside the betting. They're they're coming from betting, hitting

345
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 9: some grain and then he's actually hitting a pond going

346
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 9: out to the big bean field and and where he's

347
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 9: hitting this, it's been right after shooting, and this this

348
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 9: morning he actually hit it going back into betting right

349
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 9: at shooting time. So I know he's betting close, and

350
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 9: I'm fixing to hit the woods and go after him.

351
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 3: Oh today, you're gonna go kill us deer today? Huh.

352
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,640
Speaker 9: I hope the wind is right and I know he's

353
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 9: betty close, So I'm going in this afternoon after.

354
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 3: Him on one of those sets like that.

355
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 2: Are you trying to do pre hung sets or you

356
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 2: do you already have or you got your gear? You're

357
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 2: gonna go in and just kind of do running gunstop

358
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 2: top dealer, what are you doing?

359
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 9: Typically here I do running gun and use the cruiser saddle,

360
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:32,360
Speaker 9: but here with limited trees, we do have a pre

361
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 9: hume set right there.

362
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, man, I mean it's it's being able to

363
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 3: run and guns good.

364
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,120
Speaker 2: But having that pre pre hung set is a real quiet,

365
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:40,880
Speaker 2: easy way to get in the tree and be pretty

366
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 2: comfortable too.

367
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 9: Exactly.

368
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 3: So what do you think the deer are going to

369
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:45,440
Speaker 3: be doing?

370
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 2: I mean, I know you're gonna tag out tonight, so

371
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,199
Speaker 2: you don't really have to know too much, right, But

372
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 2: if you were going to say, you know, for people

373
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 2: out there who are thinking about mey, you know, hitting

374
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 2: the road and heading over, they're kind of looking at

375
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:57,919
Speaker 2: that weather out looking kind of I don't know, what

376
00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 2: do you think that you're gonna be doing over the

377
00:17:59,160 --> 00:17:59,639
Speaker 2: next week.

378
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:05,640
Speaker 9: I think starting Friday or Saturday here in the southeast.

Speaker 9: we're going to see it kick even up.

383

Speaker 3: What's it like down there?

416
00:19:55,920 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 2: It is amazing, very game rich environment, probably one of

417
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,399
Speaker 2: the one of the top, one of the top hunts

418
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 2: that I've ever been on.

419
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 3: Man, that's cool. And you've been doing a lot of hunting.

420
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,120
Speaker 2: I was with you and you killed your first elk,

421
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 2: and I mean it kind of hurts my heart a

422
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 2: little bit for you tell me that that's one of

423
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,120
Speaker 2: the top hunts you've ever been on. But I would

424
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,159
Speaker 2: assumed of the top hunts. Yeah, I've seen that's in

425
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,640
Speaker 2: one of the top tiers there. They're sharing it, yeah,

426
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 2: for sure. So you've seen a lot of a lot

427
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 2: of deer down there then, huh.

428
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 11: Yeah, uh a fair amount. I mean, you know, talking

429
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 11: to those guys, it was it was slow movement, but.

430
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 2: To my standard, it was it was pretty good. Yeah,

431
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,679
Speaker 2: what's going on down there? Those deer eating agriculture? Are

432
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 2: they just living out in the wild or what do

433
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 2: they do? So where we're hunting there is uh, absolutely

434
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 2: no agriculture. It is uh it is just short brush canyons.

435
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:47,159
Speaker 5: You know.

436
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 11: The terrain, it's got some pretty good terrain to it, Uh,

437
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 11: some canyon type stuff.

438
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 3: You know, I mean it's just it's wild country. What

439
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,880
Speaker 3: state is that in Mexico or probably that's where they

440
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,440
Speaker 3: call them khila.

441
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,400
Speaker 2: All right, that's like that salt hot sauce on the

442
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 2: counter at the cafe, isn't it.

443
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 3: That's it, that's it. That's cool.

444
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:15,639
Speaker 2: And so y'all are targeting these deer uh at water

445
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 2: you're feeding or what?

446
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 3: What's going on down there?

447
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 9: Uh?

448
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:24,199
Speaker 3: We are, we are there. There are troughs you know

449
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 3: for the it is a operating cattle ranch.

450
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 4: Yeah.

451
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 2: Uh they're so you know you can key off there.

452
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 2: There are no there is no natural pond water or

453
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 2: tank water.

454
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:44,160
Speaker 11: Uh it is uh, it's all uh solar pumped and

455
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 11: fed down the water troughs.

456
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:46,439
Speaker 3: I mean there are.

457
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 2: There are opportunities to hunt on the water and uh

458
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,919
Speaker 2: also you know, uh this time of year, you know

459
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,880
Speaker 2: there's the corner is effective.

460
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 11: But you know, as far as deer movement being slow,

461
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 11: it's they got a lot of rainfall this year and.

462
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 3: For November it was extremely green.

463
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 2: Got you, got you, and so whenever you're down there

464
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 2: in November right now, is it pre rut?

465
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:16,719
Speaker 3: Like bachelor groups?

466
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 2: Are they separated making scrapes and doing the thing or

467
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:20,400
Speaker 2: what's going on.

468
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 11: So we did, We did find scrapes, we did find

469
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 11: some fresh grapes, and uh that we were that.

470
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,679
Speaker 3: We were, you know, running gun cameras.

471
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:33,640
Speaker 11: This, that and the other, trying to locate different deer

472
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 11: that they seen in Velvet. And but as far as

473
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 11: right now, you know, pre rut, I mean it is.

474
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 11: I would say that it's probably on the cuff of

475
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:52,160
Speaker 11: becoming pre rut. Like it's you might see you might

476
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 11: see a young deer try to try to bump a

477
00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 11: dough around, but it's really not starting to kick there yet.

478
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 3: Got you? Got you?

479
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,879
Speaker 2: So you actually shot you nasty down there, man. Congratulations

480
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 2: on that. It's pretty cool and it seemed like y'all

481
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:11,879
Speaker 2: had a real good hunt. Is this kind of like

482
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 2: this cusp of the rut? Is that like the good

483
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 2: time to be there?

484
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 3: Yeah?

485
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 11: I mean, you know, any time to be there is

486
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:27,199
Speaker 11: a good time, you know. But I would say I've

487
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 11: never been there in December?

488
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 3: Yeah I do. I do one of these days.

489
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 11: Hopefully, Lord willing, I'll be able to make a December trip,

490
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 11: because about mid December.

491
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:40,160
Speaker 3: They really are, they really are rutting hard.

492
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 2: Well, what do you think they're gonna do in to

493
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 2: hear in about the next week or so, you think

494
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 2: it's gonna be kind of more of the same, or

495
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:45,959
Speaker 2: what's it gonna look like.

496
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say.

497
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,360
Speaker 11: I'm gonna say probably in the next couple of weeks,

498
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 11: you're probably gonna start if I had to guess, you know,

499
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 11: when I'm still a greenhorn from Mexico hunting. I've been

500
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 11: in January, I've been in November. But I really feel

501
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 11: like by the way I've seen some of the younger

502
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 11: deer act, I feel like that you're going to start

503
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 11: seeing more activity, you know, moving towards you know, checking

504
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 11: those and uh, you know what I call cruising. One

505
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 11: thing we did notice, we did see some We did

506
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 11: see some older deer start gaining some ground. As far

507
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:22,199
Speaker 11: as territory, you know, it's a very vast you know,

508
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 11: the ranch that we were hunting is very big, and uh,

509
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 11: you know summertime, you know, they're they're kind of locked

510
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:30,439
Speaker 11: down to their home turf.

511
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,640
Speaker 3: We were seeing bucks.

512
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 2: My you know, upwards to two miles from where they were.

513
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 3: You know, getting pictures of them summertime on their feet.

514
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 3: That's cool.

515
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 5: Man.

516
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 2: So if you look forward for like the next week,

517
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,680
Speaker 2: what do you expect the deer movement, the buck movement.

518
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:49,439
Speaker 3: Excuse me to be like, on a scale of one

519
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 3: to ten.

520
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 11: I would say probably in the next week, you're probably

521
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:59,680
Speaker 11: I'd say I'd probably rate it at six, all right,

522
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,920
Speaker 11: And then as time goes on, of course, I feel

523
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 11: like that's really gonna start taking off.

524
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, the roller coaster is starting to tick right getting

525
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 2: on up there. Well, that's cool, man, appreciate the report.

526
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 2: It's from a neat area of the country. I'm glad

527
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 2: you got to go down there, man, and it was

528
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 2: a blood really really appreciate you, man, absolutely. Now I've

529
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,880
Speaker 2: got Michael Pitts, the real Pits or Pits as most

530
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 2: people just call him. And this dude's a killer from

531
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 2: all over the country from you can see him on

532
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,160
Speaker 2: real tree road trips and right now he is in Georgia.

533
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 3: Michael, what's going on? Man?

534
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 5: Man, it's just enough a day in paradise this way

535
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 5: I call it to see it and everything else.

536
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:37,959
Speaker 3: So that's good man.

537
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 5: I was glad to be here.

538
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:41,680
Speaker 3: What's the temperatures running right now in your area?

539
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 5: Georgia temperatures right now, we've been kind of on a

540
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 5: roller coaster here lately a little bit it got real

541
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:51,639
Speaker 5: cold and then it warmed up a little bit to

542
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 5: the mid seventies or so. It's falling back down the

543
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 5: past few days. So we're getting a lot better movement,

544
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 5: you know, right now. The colder weather always helps the

545
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 5: visibility as far as daytime and mature bucks go. So

546
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 5: we're dealing with about sixty five degree tempts right now

547
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:15,880
Speaker 5: on the high and the lows are around forty to forty.

548
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 3: Five right now. Y'all still have leaves on the trees

549
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:19,199
Speaker 3: or is all that cover gone?

550
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 5: Yeah? No, we got leaves on the trees still. Now.

551
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 5: It's going pretty quick right now, but we've still got,

552
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 5: you know, a little bit of concealment left in the trees.

553
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,399
Speaker 5: You know, it's not totally naked up there yet, but

554
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:35,880
Speaker 5: it's on its way to being. We're probably at about

555
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 5: fifty percent right now. I would say, got you, got you.

556
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,640
Speaker 5: And so you've been hunting Georgia quite a bit. What

557
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 5: are the deer really doing right now?

558
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 3: Are they pre rut or are they they starting to

559
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 3: get after it now?

560
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,400
Speaker 5: They're starting to get after it right now. I would

561
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,400
Speaker 5: say the past couple of weeks have been a good

562
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 5: pre rut phase to where you see a lot of

563
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 5: the younger deer chasing, but your mature deer not on

564
00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 5: their feet yet. The past few days we've been seeing

565
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,399
Speaker 5: a lot of mature deer on their feet, which is

566
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:05,680
Speaker 5: a good thing and lets you know that the rut

567
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 5: is actually kind of starting to have. But it's just

568
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:13,440
Speaker 5: not the young ones acting crazy. The temperature has affected

569
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,439
Speaker 5: it a little bit. I mean, we were well on

570
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 5: our way to probably having an early rut and then

571
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 5: we had a temperature spike, which the temperature spikes, I

572
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:25,679
Speaker 5: don't think that necessarily stops the rut. I think it

573
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 5: stops us from visually seeing it because they go more

574
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 5: nocturnal and they're.

575
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,679
Speaker 3: Breeding at night and.

576
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 5: That sort of thing. But the colder weather lets us

577
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:39,119
Speaker 5: allow visibility of it a little bit more because the

578
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 5: deer just on their feet and feeding more that sort

579
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 5: of thing. So the past couple of days have been

580
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 5: very good. We had an encounter with a mature deer

581
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 5: yesterday evening that was doing a lot of chase and

582
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:57,679
Speaker 5: he came in typical right five minutes after shooting lights,

583
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,360
Speaker 5: so we couldn't we couldn't put an air in him.

584
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 5: But he was standing thirty yards from me, you know,

585
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 5: and that's that well, you know that'll make you almost

586
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 5: vomit too. Yeah, that's about as bad as a miss sometimes.

587
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:17,200
Speaker 2: Guarante you for sure. Are you pence points right now?

588
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 2: Are you still hunting food sources or what's it look like?

589
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 5: Oh, we've had a bumper acron crop this year. There's

590
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 5: been more acrons on the ground than I've ever seen,

591
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 5: which has a double edged sword if you ask me.

592
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 5: It's good that they've got the food crop on the ground,

593
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 5: but it's bad for patterning them because they will sit

594
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:37,920
Speaker 5: there and just meander around in an oak bottom with

595
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 5: no potter in the bottom. So you know, it kind

596
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 5: of makes it tough. We we had been in a

597
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 5: drought until this last week, so you know, with what

598
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 5: and mill do, and the acrons are getting rid of

599
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 5: them in any fast fashion, and there's so many on

600
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 5: the ground it's just crazy. So it's kind of been

601
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,479
Speaker 5: tough hunting the past few weeks just due to the

602
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 5: fact to the acre that are all over the ground.

603
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 5: I mean, they've got an unlimited food source there and

604
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 5: they just love it. So they're not coming to your

605
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 5: bait piles or your green fills or whatever near as much,

606
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,719
Speaker 5: and then you throw the rut activity in there, and

607
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 5: there is surely no pattern in them. So basically it's

608
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 5: just getting in a tree and spending some seat time

609
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 5: and hoping it happens. Is a bowl hunter, I do

610
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 5: not like the full rut, just because of the simple

611
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 5: fact that you know you're limited with distance in these deer.

612
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 5: Just everywhere you almost got a hope of dough runs

613
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 5: up under you or whatever you know to make it happen.

614
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 5: It's a rifle hunter's a little bit easier because you

615
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 5: can reach out there and touch them. But I really

616
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,959
Speaker 5: hate the full rut, to be honest with you, just

617
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 5: because of the fact that there's a lot of unpredictable

618
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 5: stuff that goes.

619
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 3: On so.

620
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 2: Hard this next week is being that, then what do

621
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 2: you expect going on this next week?

622
00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 5: I think the next this next week is going to

623
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 5: be the full rut. Because I'm starting the past few days,

624
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 5: I've started to really see the mature bucks get on

625
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 5: their feet as far as visually myself and on camera,

626
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 5: you're the bigger deer. More mature deer are making themselves

627
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 5: more visible right now. So typically I look at the

628
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 5: full rut starting. You know, when I start seeing these

629
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,480
Speaker 5: mature deer get on their feet and get out and

630
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 5: start showing interest in dose, which I have been seeing

631
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 5: the past few days.

632
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 4: That's good. Man.

633
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 2: So if you had to predict over the next week,

634
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 2: which you kind of expect the buck movement to be

635
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:37,959
Speaker 2: like on be like on a scale of one ten,

636
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 2: what would.

637
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:38,719
Speaker 3: You call it.

638
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 5: I'm gonna call it a I'm gonna call it a

639
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 5: solid nine.

640
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 3: That's high, brother, let's go.

641
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 5: I'm telling you the the big deer on their feet

642
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 5: right now. And as long as we don't get into

643
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:58,479
Speaker 5: that mid seventies temperature, I think it will be good. Uh.

644
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 5: And I don't see the mid seventies temperatures coming back in.

645
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 5: I think it's gonna lay in the sixties a little bit.

646
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 5: And I think deer movement, as far as the rut

647
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 5: goes this next week, it's gonna be what you would

648
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 5: consider the full rut. Man.

649
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 3: That's exciting times, dude. I appreciate that it is.

650
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 2: It's a good time to be in the woods, man,

651
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 2: And I hope you get you big in here this

652
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 2: next week or.

653
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 5: So, you and me both. I hope everybody gets a

654
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 5: bit it's the greatest thing in the world, and it's

655
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 5: the greatest time. Even though it's hard on a bowl

656
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 5: hunter deer in the full rut, it's one of my

657
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 5: favorite times to be in the woods because it's so exciting.

658
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 5: You get to see a lot of action chasing bigger,

659
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 5: mature deer and that sort of thing. So it's a

660
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 5: great time. You's got to put in a lot of

661
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 5: sleeep time to bear with it and swing from fences.

662
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 2: That's it, man, you can't mess it with Michael. Really

663
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 2: appreciate the time, dude, and get after him.

664
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 5: We're gonna do it.

665
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 3: Let me tell you something.

666
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 2: Listening to some Southern voices talking about some giant bucks

667
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 2: gets me pumped. And that's what I need right now

668
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 2: because I've been out on the dumps. But guess what

669
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 2: empty it is misplaced. My feelings are misplaced because it

670
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 2: is my fault. It is not the November's fault. It's

671
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 2: not the deer's fault. They are out there to be had,

672
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 2: so I gotta go. I gotta get them, and if

673

Speaker 2: is chasing some bucks and making some moves on buck betting,

676
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 2: which I think is because he's from Ohio. We don't

677
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 2: really do that in Texas, but Ohio. Man, he's all
