Right? Yes? Um, lots of walking around, lots 37 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: of calling and sounding like a sickly elk, lots of 38 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 1: baron oia where I'm looking around hoping grizzly, hoping grizzly 39 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: isn't like the next big brown thing that I see 40 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: instead of an elk. Um, And yeah, that's pretty much it. 41 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 1: Walking and calling until I'm tired. Sounds like fun. I 42 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 1: trust that you will eventually figure it out. I have faith. 43 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 1: I hope you're right. Um, so even though you haven't 44 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: been on white tail hunting, you have been talking to 45 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 1: a whole bunch of people who have. And who are 46 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 1: those guests that we're going to hear from this week? 47 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 1: We started Wisconsin and talks to Tyler Frank's from Tenadie Outdoors, 48 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 1: and then Andrew Maxwell in Georgia from The Southern Outdoorsman, 49 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: and then we talked to Keith Thompson from Montana white 50 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: Tails incy in Montana, and then we end with my 51 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 1: constuctor from Heartland bow Hunter in Missouri. Sounds like a 52 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,639 Speaker 1: good slate of folks and locations. I like that we 53 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 1: got like far West, we got far South, a little 54 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: bit here in between. UM, what is on your mind 55 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 1: at this time of year? And now, I know you're 56 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:34,079 Speaker 1: not hitting it right now, but in past years you have. Um. 57 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 1: Where are we We're entering the third week in September, 58 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: so a lot of opening days just happened this past weekend. 59 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 1: There's a lot coming up in the next well in 60 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: the September. Another slate in October one is a whole 61 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: bunch that dropped. So so what's on your mind at 62 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 1: this time of year, Spencer, do you have like a 63 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 1: quick cock tip that's top of mind? Well, historically South 64 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: Dakota is opener would be the of September, and I 65 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 1: haunted every year, and what I kind of learned was 66 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 1: that if I didn't have any like good or recent 67 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 1: intel available to me, and I didn't know, you know, 68 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 1: exactly where these deer were entering a specific field that 69 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 1: I didn't have trail cameras up that point, I would 70 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: look to lifetime patterns. And what I mean by that 71 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,479 Speaker 1: is trying to think back as to what the deer 72 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: did the year before and the year before that and 73 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 1: the year before that for herds as well as individual bucks, 74 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 1: because a lot of times you see the same kind 75 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,479 Speaker 1: of shifts that this time of year when the food 76 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:41,599 Speaker 1: sources become this or the weather does this, that the 77 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 1: deer are going to respond a specific way, and you 78 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 1: can kind of track that year after years. So if 79 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 1: you're hunting a property that you're familiar with, like I 80 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 1: was in South Dakota, you can kind of sometimes go 81 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:58,600 Speaker 1: into an opener in late September blind, but still have success. 82 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 1: And now that wasn't the case with your mega early 83 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 1: season a couple of years ago, right, because that was 84 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,280 Speaker 1: a little bit of a surprise. But but did you 85 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: have some kind of patterns that you knew that kind 86 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 1: of applied. Like I said, in that case, I was 87 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 1: hunting the lifetime patterns of just like the deer herd 88 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 1: in general. I knew that the end of September, when 89 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: there's corn in that kind of creates the specific funnels 90 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 1: that the deer tend to enter the field in the 91 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: same place. And so I didn't have any recent intel, 92 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,600 Speaker 1: and I hadn't done much summer scouting, but I knew 93 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 1: that when there's corn in that time of year, most 94 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 1: of the deer would walk this specific area. And that 95 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 1: was how I killed my biggest box of my whole life. Yeah, 96 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: so it wasn't specific buck lifetime, but it was overall 97 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 1: heard annual pattern stuff that you apply that makes sense, um, so, 98 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: so kind of jumping off of that, the one thing 99 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 1: I would think about at this time of year, um, 100 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 1: other than than the obvious things that I'm sure we'll 101 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,600 Speaker 1: talk about with the guests as far as keying on 102 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:07,039 Speaker 1: food sources and changing conditions and all that. But but 103 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 1: this is when we start getting the first impacts of 104 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,040 Speaker 1: hunting pressure for a lot of people. Because if you 105 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 1: are one of those states where the season opened at 106 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 1: the beginning of September, you've had three weeks of hunting 107 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,719 Speaker 1: at this point. If you are in one of the 108 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 1: states that opened maybe September, here now into the first 109 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 1: week of hunting and deer changing their behavior. So for 110 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 1: anyone who's in those situations right now, the summer patterns 111 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 1: that you're looking at, the feeding, the bed to feed 112 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,040 Speaker 1: patterns that you maybe had keyed on those first couple 113 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: of days, that's going to change to some degree, possibly 114 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: very dramatically, depending on how much hunting pressure is around you, 115 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 1: but it's going to change to some degree, and you 116 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: just make go to make sure you can adjust to that. 117 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 1: A lot of people talk about something they call the 118 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,159 Speaker 1: October lull, and you can see that same thing in 119 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,160 Speaker 1: mid September if you are hunting somewhere, that's all of 120 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,239 Speaker 1: a sudden getting hunted a lot because because oftentimes that lull, 121 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,719 Speaker 1: regardless of what it pops up, that's simply a change 122 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 1: in deer activity or where they're being active. Because all 123 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: of a sudden wearing their mucking around. So just be 124 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 1: be aware of that. Think about that, don't hunt the 125 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 1: same spots over and over and over again, that you 126 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 1: saw a deer on the opening at a hunting season 127 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 1: and then wonder why is he not here anymore? Think 128 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 1: about how they're adjusting to people going in. And you know, 129 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 1: you can do one of two things. You could either 130 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: play it safe and you know, just wait until they 131 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 1: become more active in the places that you had pre planned. 132 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 1: That might be the case if you just have a 133 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: small property to hunt that you don't want to push 134 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 1: a bunch of deer off of. Or if you have 135 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 1: a whole bunch of places you can hunt, or huge 136 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 1: property or a bunch of public land, you can get 137 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 1: aggressive and try to find out where these deer have 138 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 1: shifted to. UM. So, so that's something I'm thinking about 139 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 1: this time of year. If my season has been open 140 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 1: for three weeks already, that's something I'll be thinking about 141 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: in Michigan for sure. One we get to you know, 142 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 1: October fifteen, sixteenth, that ballpark, that'll be when we're really 143 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 1: feeling that in Michigan. UM. But it's an interesting time 144 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 1: of a year. I just kind of had the kick 145 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 1: in the teeth moment where I realized, oh man, in 146 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 1: like two weeks, the absolute marathon begins, like already. Once 147 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: September kicked off from me, I was, okay, yeah, it's starting. 148 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 1: But what October shows up, It's just like, buckle up, 149 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 1: you're in for the ride. And uh, that's staring me 150 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 1: right in the hairy eyeball. So that's exciting though. Yeah. 151 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,320 Speaker 1: And and both of those strategies that you kind of 152 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 1: just mentioned for the different approaches the opening day, we 153 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:45,439 Speaker 1: hear about that on this week's episode Tyler Frank's Wisconsin. 154 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,320 Speaker 1: He went all in on his opener and he killed 155 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 1: the buck. But then you have someone like Michael hunt 156 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 1: Sucker who does very selective calculated pressure um, and he's 157 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,719 Speaker 1: kind of doing the thing where you live to fight 158 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 1: another day and you're not over pressuring these dear so 159 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 1: you have more chances later in the season. So you 160 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,080 Speaker 1: hear both of those strategies kind of broken down in 161 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 1: this week's episode. Yeah, I love that stuff, hearing about 162 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: those different situations. And and I do think that one 163 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 1: of the real art forms or one of the like, 164 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 1: there's there's some kind of threshold that you push through 165 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 1: as a hunter, when you go from just getting out 166 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 1: there and hunting when you can and just doing which 167 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,200 Speaker 1: you can, to all of a sudden that next step 168 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,960 Speaker 1: when you know when to go all in or you know, 169 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 1: one hang back, Like there's a certain art there that 170 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,439 Speaker 1: it takes some time to figure out. But once you do, 171 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:41,080 Speaker 1: when you do know the right time to strike to 172 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 1: really make that kill, that just seems to be such 173 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 1: a big, such a big paradigm shift, I guess as 174 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 1: a hunter. So all that's to say, I'm interested to 175 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 1: hear these guys examples and how one of them knew 176 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 1: it was not the time to push in and go 177 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 1: for broke and one of them said it was and 178 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 1: it worked out maybe, So I am intrigued to listen 179 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:03,840 Speaker 1: to the rest of this episode. Is there anything we 180 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,679 Speaker 1: have to cover off on other than a couple housekeeping 181 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 1: things before we do that? Um? No, I don't think so, 182 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 1: but I'll start with one of those housekeeping things. If 183 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,440 Speaker 1: you like this kind of info, the uh you know, 184 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:19,080 Speaker 1: up to date on strategies for this timing year, then 185 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 1: you should head over to Meet Eaters YouTube channel, where 186 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:26,200 Speaker 1: you'll see the second episode of a series that me, 187 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,960 Speaker 1: Mark and Tony Peterson. You are part of where we 188 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 1: talked about how to kill a buck that time of year. 189 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,959 Speaker 1: In the most recent episode, episode two, is about how 190 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 1: to kill a buck in late September, and we talked 191 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 1: about some of those things we just discussed Mark, but 192 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:42,199 Speaker 1: even even greater detail. And then when we're all done 193 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 1: talking about how we would put together a hunt for 194 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,840 Speaker 1: late September, we even break down a property. And the 195 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,200 Speaker 1: property in this week's episode is a huge piece of 196 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 1: public land in Missouri that Tony Peterson is actually hunted. 197 00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 1: So Mark and I take the first step dab at 198 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 1: diagnosing this property and talk about where we would set 199 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 1: up it and why, and then Tony tells us what 200 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 1: we got right and what we got wrong. Basically, Yeah, 201 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 1: it's a it's an interesting one. Did you happen to 202 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,599 Speaker 1: see Tony just showed how to kill a buck in 203 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 1: mid September? Yeah? That that guy never fails.

Now, Tyler in Wisconsin, 245 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 1: what would you say the bucket activity is man lately? 246 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,959 Speaker 1: On a scale of one to ten, I'd probably rate 247 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:30,200 Speaker 1: it and about a four or five. Noticing that the 248 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:34,560 Speaker 1: weather is fairly warm, especially a little above average for 249 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:36,840 Speaker 1: this time of year. What I've been seeing on the 250 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 1: trail cameras the buck movement has gone shifted a lot 251 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 1: more towards night. Um, the bachelor groups have broken up 252 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,319 Speaker 1: belt at the shed and then also noticed a lot 253 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,200 Speaker 1: of acorns are starting to drop, which just pulled them 254 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,199 Speaker 1: off to the food sources. UM. But the heat really 255 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 1: seemed to put a damper on opening weekend activity overall, 256 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 1: not just bucks, but those also. I'm surprised to hear 257 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 1: you say that it's been a four or five because 258 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 1: you happen to kill a great buck over the weekend. 259 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 1: Tell me a little bit about that setup I did. Um, 260 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 1: I got very fortunate and harvesting and I thought was 261 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 1: opener um just an hour and a half into the season. 262 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 1: But um, leading up to that, I didn't really expect 263 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 1: to be seen much back there. It kind of just 264 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 1: went off of the past history of where I've seen 265 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 1: dear move up on a betting area and where there's 266 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 1: a large amount of acorns. UM. I hunted very close 267 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 1: to their last year and saftmore tea opener and the 268 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 1: weather was a lot more, a lot cooler, UM, So 269 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 1: I kinded I was only out there for an hour 270 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 1: and a half, But um, I had already been seeing 271 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 1: more deer, and then, like I mentioned earlier, the trail 272 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 1: cameras really showed a distinct shift here once the velvet 273 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 1: shed um on the farm. My hunts, it's not uncommon 274 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 1: to have a large amount of shooter gear throughout the 275 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 1: s commer and then once the velvet sheds and they 276 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 1: all split up, and they refuted that. This year, I 277 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 1: had about eight or nine bucks that I was really 278 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 1: looking at targeting, and within the last three weeks I 279 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 1: haven't seen but maybe about thirty of them show back up, 280 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 1: and they had been pretty consistent. But I've got some 281 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 1: weather coming in here this week. Temperatures won't be as hot. 282 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 1: They're still gonna be warm, but with the rain and 283 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:33,480 Speaker 1: temperatures that hopefully will change something and we'll see what 284 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 1: that brings with that buck behavior change that you've noticed 285 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 1: here lately, Have you seen any signmaking start to show up? Then? Actually, yes, 286 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,600 Speaker 1: there I have another big reason I set up where 287 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 1: I did opening days because I did find a scrape line. 288 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 1: One of the scrapes is one that's been there that 289 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 1: shows up every year, but it had been hit fairly hard. 290 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 1: And then a couple a couple more scrapes down this 291 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 1: old bogging road that had been worked were pretty fresh, 292 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 1: so that that is something I was encouraged by saying that. 293 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 1: Top of that, like I mentioned there, was the acorns 294 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 1: are definitely dropping right now and they're they're targeting that 295 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 1: as a food source that they seem to have dropped 296 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 1: a ball earlier this year and they're actually probably on 297 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 1: the flowing down, but they're definitely still going after the 298 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 1: You mentioned that you were getting a lot of different 299 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 1: books on trail camera earlier this year, but not so 300 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 1: much anymore. How does your trail camera strategy change as 301 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 1: we get into mid and late September, Well, this year 302 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 1: it will be UM just probably leave them up the 303 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:41,280 Speaker 1: rest of the year and pretty get about them because 304 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 1: I don't have a buck take anymore. But usually in 305 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 1: years past I've I've taken them off off the off 306 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 1: the field the farm. My hunt. He takes his corn 307 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,920 Speaker 1: off really early, uses it for silage, and UM we're 308 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 1: pretty much limited to corn and corn and alfalfa. Some 309 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,040 Speaker 1: years we have beams, but at this point those are 310 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:04,040 Speaker 1: already started and to draw up at least in western Wisconsin, 311 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 1: and they're really starting to change color. UM and then 312 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:10,760 Speaker 1: I started focusing on more of the the pinch points 313 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 1: in bedding areas and oak flats areas where there's going 314 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:19,359 Speaker 1: to be in transition. UM. I also kind of start 315 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 1: to shift my my my hunting strategy that way. Also, 316 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,240 Speaker 1: I started working my way in a little bit off 317 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,480 Speaker 1: the field here. Later in the later September and October, 318 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,439 Speaker 1: I kind of put all my eggs in the basket 319 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,720 Speaker 1: for opening morning and just went I went in pretty 320 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:37,119 Speaker 1: deep opening day, just because that's where I felt I 321 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,359 Speaker 1: had the best shot at some nice deer, and because 322 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 1: of the heat, I wanted to be close to the 323 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,720 Speaker 1: bedding area with them probably having a little more restricted 324 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 1: morning movement going forward. Then in the sixt week or so, 325 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 1: what do you think that bucket activity is going to 326 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 1: be on scale of one to ten in Wisconsin, I'd 327 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 1: probably I'd probably only raise it up to about a 328 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,879 Speaker 1: five or six just looking at the looking at the 329 00:17:57,880 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 1: weather I had, and we do have some fronts moving 330 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:01,880 Speaker 1: that it's gonna get a little cooler, but it's still 331 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 1: not going to be a huge swing, at least over 332 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,399 Speaker 1: here in western Wisconsin. I think what I saw for 333 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 1: next week was highes in the mid seventies and right 334 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,920 Speaker 1: now we're right in the low eighties. So but there 335 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 1: might be some opportunities to get in and find some 336 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,719 Speaker 1: dear moving right before after those fronts passed, I noticed 337 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 1: Monday looked really good with some little cooler temperatures than 338 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 1: what they have been and sunny, sunny skies um day. 339 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 1: I would probably look at going, but I have not. 340 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 1: I won't be able to do this year because now 341 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 1: I'll be focusing on bear hunting the rest of the season. 342 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,440 Speaker 1: For that, it's a good problem to have. Congrats again 343 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,880 Speaker 1: on the awesome dear good luck with that bear tag 344 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 1: in Wisconsin, and thanks for joining me. Appreciate it. Thanks 345 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 1: very much, all right Enjoining us on the line next 346 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 1: is Andrew Maxwell from The Southern Outdoorsman, who's been hunting 347 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,200 Speaker 1: in Georgia. Now, Andrew and Georgia, what would you say 348 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 1: the buck activities man lately? On a scale of one 349 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:59,640 Speaker 1: to ten, I would have to say it's probably been 350 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:04,120 Speaker 1: a or a five. You know. The We had quite 351 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,119 Speaker 1: a bit of people hunting the public parcel that we 352 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 1: were hunting this weekend, and I know some people saw 353 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 1: some stuff, including myself. I did see one younger buck 354 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:16,199 Speaker 1: on the first morning, but nobody killed anything. Uh No 355 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 1: one saw like a big mature buck. Um. And the 356 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:20,639 Speaker 1: reason I say it's the four or five and not 357 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,640 Speaker 1: Lowers because I think that they were out there moving somewhere. 358 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:25,160 Speaker 1: I just think that a lot of us are set 359 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 1: up in the wrong spots. Being with as hot as 360 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 1: it was, I think we set up wrong. When you're 361 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:35,240 Speaker 1: hunting public land on the state's opener like this, how 362 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:38,960 Speaker 1: do you go about avoiding other guys? Uh So, A 363 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,919 Speaker 1: big part of that is gonna be, you know, if 364 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 1: you have it previous year's knowledge is really important. Um, 365 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 1: I'll take a day off of hunting and just drive 366 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:49,919 Speaker 1: around and see where other people are part and you know, 367 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 1: try and figure out where the gaps are between them. 368 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 1: If that's not an option, then I mean it really 369 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:59,400 Speaker 1: comes down to just looking at the basic access points 370 00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 1: and knowing that most of these guys, especially down in Georgia, 371 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 1: are going to be hauling in bigger, heavy climbers and 372 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,920 Speaker 1: they're probably not gonna be walking four yards. Uh So 373 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,640 Speaker 1: I essentially got in a little bit later. Uh It's 374 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 1: very like fluid was what I was gonna do, kind 375 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 1: of salvars, and people were parking we're walking in and 376 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,480 Speaker 1: then made an effort to kind of swing around them 377 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,119 Speaker 1: and get on the escape routes of a deer that 378 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,960 Speaker 1: they might have bumped. So just it really comes down 379 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:30,359 Speaker 1: to assuming where that pressure is going to be coming 380 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 1: from and where these people are gonna be parking and 381 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 1: walking to, and then setting up in the gaps between that. 382 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,200 Speaker 1: So you said you can't see much for deer activity 383 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,040 Speaker 1: when you were down there hunting, how would you now 384 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 1: change your setups looking back on the weekend and knowing 385 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:52,360 Speaker 1: what you know now, Uh, definitely get closer to the river. 386 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 1: So the property we're hunting has a river on it, uh, 387 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,400 Speaker 1: and a course down by that river. It is noticeably colder. 388 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 1: I mean it's been in the mid nineties this weekend 389 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 1: and this week so I think that we were hunting 390 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 1: stuff that would probably be good, but it's probably not good. 391 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 1: Was as hot as it is. We were hunting some 392 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:15,120 Speaker 1: thicker cover um just around some regular hardwood essenc smaller creeks. 393 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,360 Speaker 1: I think that if we were to have gotten down 394 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 1: by the actual river where it's cooler, I think we 395 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 1: would have done much better, which which seems to be 396 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 1: the case. I have a friend of mine, who's actually 397 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:26,879 Speaker 1: staying down here with me right now, who's hunting that 398 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 1: same property. And he went and hunted the river yesterday 399 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,439 Speaker 1: and I saw that he saw two rack bucks and 400 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 1: then had a deer cross the slough behind them coming 401 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 1: off an island. Went to show us that they're definitely 402 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,359 Speaker 1: betting on these islands, and they're definitely betting down close 403 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,359 Speaker 1: to the water and cooler areas. What do you think 404 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 1: is the preferred food source right now in Georgia? Uh, 405 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:50,440 Speaker 1: that is very It's very dependent on where you're at. 406 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,159 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously acorns and for simmons are gonna be 407 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,960 Speaker 1: huge right now where you have them. But that being said, uh, 408 00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,200 Speaker 1: let's say you have a betting area that you're wanting 409 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:03,160 Speaker 1: to hunt and there's not acorns for per simmons within 410 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,639 Speaker 1: you know, an easy walking distance of that betting area 411 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:09,160 Speaker 1: and find acorns or per simmons in very close proximity 412 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,720 Speaker 1: to water and good cover, I think that's a home run. 413 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,120 Speaker 1: If not, if you've got a betting area that's still 414 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 1: got a bunch of native brows in it, you know, 415 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,000 Speaker 1: whether it be you know, they're still hammering poke salad 416 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 1: right now, beauty berry and then various other things greenbrier, 417 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 1: basically anything green that if you're canny, I would definitely 418 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 1: key in on that as well. Uh, just because in 419 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,679 Speaker 1: years past this time of year, we've killed deer and 420 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,480 Speaker 1: have opened them up and they've been full of green stuff, 421 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 1: not necessarily acorns. So uh, I wouldn't get too fixated 422 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 1: on acorns and per simmons unless you can find them 423 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:43,160 Speaker 1: in the right spot. Does that make sense? Early season 424 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,919 Speaker 1: like this, what do your morning setups look like and 425 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 1: how did those differ from your evening setups. My morning setups, 426 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:53,920 Speaker 1: I'm typically gonna be pretty aggressive. I mean, obviously it's 427 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:55,879 Speaker 1: early season, and I don't want to blow out my 428 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 1: good spots, so I kind of have backup spots around 429 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 1: kind areas that I'm not super interested in, but I 430 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 1: think I could have a good chance of maybe nailing 431 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 1: a buck but also just a dough, uh. And I'll 432 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,159 Speaker 1: be getting in very close to bedding, and I'll be 433 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 1: setting up on basically where I think they're gonna enter 434 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 1: back into that, and I'll get in, you know, way 435 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 1: before daylight, and I hopefully have something slipped by me. Um. 436 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,399 Speaker 1: Afternoons are basically the opposite in the afternoons. You know, 437 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 1: it's much lower risks. So I will go to some 438 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:27,240 Speaker 1: of my better areas in the afternoons, and uh, we're 439 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,159 Speaker 1: gonna be focusing in the next week. Like tomorrow, I'm 440 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,120 Speaker 1: going out and be hitting the staging area. Um. We're 441 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,879 Speaker 1: basically we got some thick you know, anybody in the 442 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 1: South can be familiar with, like thick pines, like old cutovers, 443 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 1: cutovers probably seven or eight years old. Now it's really 444 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 1: good deer cover. Um. And we got a a wheat 445 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 1: field on this place that we're hunting, and the deer 446 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,680 Speaker 1: hitting that wheat stilled pretty hard. But in between there 447 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 1: there's this nice, beautiful little hardwood flat. It's got some 448 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 1: privet and stuff down there. It's kind of thick, there's 449 00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 1: some acorns in it, and it's to tour up with 450 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 1: fresh rubs everywhere. So that's gonna be my set up 451 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:03,600 Speaker 1: in the afternoon. I'm gonna try and slip down in 452 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:07,120 Speaker 1: there and get within a hundred yards of where they're 453 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 1: probably bedded. Uh, and hopefully they come out and stage 454 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,960 Speaker 1: up right there before moving on to the major destination 455 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:16,159 Speaker 1: food source going forward. Then in the six week or so, 456 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,320 Speaker 1: what do you think that buckettt is going to be 457 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,400 Speaker 1: on a scale of one to ten. In Georgia, I'm 458 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 1: gonna say it's probably gonna be like seven or eight. Uh. Tomorrow, 459 00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,160 Speaker 1: we actually have a good cold front moving in, which 460 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,840 Speaker 1: in the South is gonna that means it's gonna go 461 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:34,840 Speaker 1: from eighty five. Uh. But in the mornings it's gonna 462 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,200 Speaker 1: be nice and cool. I think Friday morning it's gonna 463 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,679 Speaker 1: be high fifties, which is gonna be phenomenal. Uh. That 464 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:42,520 Speaker 1: ought to really get them on their feet and moving. 465 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:46,160 Speaker 1: I mean they've already been pretty active close to dark. 466 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 1: We keep driving by this one field as we leave 467 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,480 Speaker 1: and every night we're seeing books in it, you know, 468 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 1: thirty to forty minutes after dark. So hopefully that cold 469 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,960 Speaker 1: front really gets a moving better. And a lot more 470 00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,399 Speaker 1: acorns and for simmons are starting to drop now, so 471 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:04,119 Speaker 1: that'll just hopefully concentrate them a little bit. All right, Andrew, Well, 472 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,200 Speaker 1: good luck to you and the guys from Southern Outdoors 473 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,639 Speaker 1: been thanks for joining me. Thanks better all right and 474 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,360 Speaker 1: joining us on the line. Next is Keith Thompson from 475 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 1: Montana White Tails Inc. In Montana. Now, Keith in Montana, 476 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,359 Speaker 1: what would you say the buck activity has been landy 477 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,440 Speaker 1: on a scale of one to ten. As far as 478 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,160 Speaker 1: movement goes, i'd probably I'd probably give it a seven 479 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:27,560 Speaker 1: or eight. I mean, we have some clients out and 480 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,320 Speaker 1: they're all seeing a lot of deer, and some good deer. 481 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,919 Speaker 1: The big deer are still on their feet. Um. From 482 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:37,120 Speaker 1: a harvesting standpoint, it's been a little tough. Everything so 483 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:40,399 Speaker 1: green and so tall this year. We've talked to some 484 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 1: ranchers that they said they can't even remember having this 485 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 1: much hey in the last thirty years. Um. This is 486 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:49,640 Speaker 1: just for example. Some of the field that we generally 487 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:53,639 Speaker 1: hunt that are normally a foot to a foot and 488 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:55,399 Speaker 1: a half tall, at this time of the year, we 489 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:58,800 Speaker 1: have some took some photos that they're up over six 490 00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,119 Speaker 1: ft tall. I mean the deer you can you can 491 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:04,720 Speaker 1: barely see them walking through it. So activity wise for 492 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 1: sighting has been good, but as far as harvesting goes, 493 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,399 Speaker 1: it's been a little tough. We've killed a few good books, 494 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 1: but it's it's been tougher than in past years, that's 495 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:17,160 Speaker 1: for sure. You hear of white tails often bedding down 496 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,959 Speaker 1: in like corn fields and bean fields, but will you 497 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,480 Speaker 1: find that they also bed down in hay fields. And 498 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,399 Speaker 1: how has that changed then with this Hey, that's been 499 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:29,679 Speaker 1: so tall. Yeah, it's it's been tough. Um. We we hunted, 500 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:31,879 Speaker 1: predominantly hunted, try to hunt the river bottoms in the 501 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:36,240 Speaker 1: morning for the bedding, and it's been like just like 502 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,240 Speaker 1: you said that there's that much Hey, is that or 503 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:42,040 Speaker 1: the wheat field of that tall everything that the deer 504 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 1: aren't even coming down into the river bottoms. They're just 505 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 1: they're hitting the alphastle fields and may everything else is 506 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 1: that tall, they'll just lay in it. They So it's 507 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,480 Speaker 1: been it's been quite challenging early as far as, like 508 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 1: you said, as the harvesting goes. Now, we had the 509 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:59,199 Speaker 1: full moon this last weekend. How does that change your 510 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 1: guys a strateg g Oh, well, basically trying to get 511 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,160 Speaker 1: in on them without blowing them out. And it's been 512 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:08,560 Speaker 1: so bright, I mean, crossing the river and everything you 513 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:10,359 Speaker 1: can see cloud across the river. There's no need for 514 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:14,600 Speaker 1: flashlights this week, that's for sure. Um, you know, it's 515 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,240 Speaker 1: it changes it a little bit, but predominantly we're still 516 00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:20,560 Speaker 1: doing the same thing. I mean, we're on betting. We're 517 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,480 Speaker 1: getting guys into the betting in the morning and then, 518 00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 1: and I said, even from activity standpoint, it hasn't seemed 519 00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:29,240 Speaker 1: affected too bad, So it's been a plus. You mentioned 520 00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,520 Speaker 1: that you're seeing a lot of deer this time of year, 521 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,600 Speaker 1: but does that mean that you're still seeing the bucks 522 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:37,240 Speaker 1: traveling together and those bachelor groups are still together. Yeah, 523 00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 1: I would say so. We've had a lot of our 524 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:42,520 Speaker 1: clients coming back at night talent and even in the 525 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,840 Speaker 1: morning and at night coming back telling us that typically 526 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,680 Speaker 1: when they've been seeing the deer, it's been the it's 527 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:50,919 Speaker 1: been the does and the fawns, and and you know 528 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:54,680 Speaker 1: some young bucks, uh year link bucks coming out together, 529 00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:59,720 Speaker 1: and they've they've taken notice that once they started seeing 530 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,200 Speaker 1: a little bit higher age structure class here, that it's 531 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 1: been strings of five or six books that are of 532 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,440 Speaker 1: the higher age class. So I would definitely say, yes, 533 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:11,320 Speaker 1: they're they're bachelor up. Yet to the envy of many hunters, 534 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 1: you guys are white tail hunting in an area that 535 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 1: also has elk. So do you notice that this time 536 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:20,000 Speaker 1: of year, during the elk rot, that maybe those elk 537 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,760 Speaker 1: are pushing some deer awful food sources or off of 538 00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:26,399 Speaker 1: water holes or anything like that. We we do see 539 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:31,520 Speaker 1: a division there. Um, there's the elk like there's seemed 540 00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:35,280 Speaker 1: to congregate. There's there's two big alfalfa field that they 541 00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:39,959 Speaker 1: tend to stick to every every early season for us 542 00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:43,320 Speaker 1: um and we actually we've kill some elk out of 543 00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 1: deer stands already. M As far as the separation goes, 544 00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,200 Speaker 1: I would say so it just seems that the deer 545 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:52,960 Speaker 1: just more or less kind of stay away from them. 546 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:56,400 Speaker 1: They don't they don't intermingle too much. If if it's 547 00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:58,480 Speaker 1: a big alfa alfa field, you'll see some deer out 548 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 1: there with the elk, but there they they definitely keep 549 00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:03,360 Speaker 1: their distance going forward. Then, in the next week or so, 550 00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:05,440 Speaker 1: what do you think that buck activity is going to 551 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,760 Speaker 1: be on a scale of one to ten in Montana? Well, 552 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,880 Speaker 1: I hope it's high. Uh. I'd say I'd keep it 553 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 1: around a seven or so somewhere around there. Um, it's 554 00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:19,680 Speaker 1: been pretty good. I'm hoping we actually can get some 555 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 1: cold leather here and maybe kill off some of this 556 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,280 Speaker 1: this green. But I know, I'm sure we've probably got 557 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:28,080 Speaker 1: a few more weeks for than green yet. But I'll 558 00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:30,600 Speaker 1: be optimistic and try and keep it at a seven 559 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:33,080 Speaker 1: and eight. Alright, Keith for good luck to your clients 560 00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:36,520 Speaker 1: at Montana White Tails, Inc. Thanks for joining me, Thank 561 00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:39,240 Speaker 1: you all right and joining us on the line. Last 562 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:43,080 Speaker 1: is Mike han Sucker in Missouri from Heartland bow Hunter. Now, 563 00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:45,400 Speaker 1: Mike in Missouri. What would you say the buck activity 564 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:47,200 Speaker 1: has been lately on a scale of one to ten, 565 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:51,960 Speaker 1: I would probably say yes, seven. Um, it's been really 566 00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:55,320 Speaker 1: surprising actually as hot as it's been. Um, we've been 567 00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:58,360 Speaker 1: seen some really good activity and actually even seen some too, dude, 568 00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,240 Speaker 1: only you know two nights. This is the third Matta 569 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:05,480 Speaker 1: season right now, so but I've been surprised. Actually when 570 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:08,640 Speaker 1: it's been so hot, does that change any of your strategies? 571 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:12,360 Speaker 1: Are you still hunting some destination food sources there? We've 572 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:18,560 Speaker 1: been hunting food sources, um, mainly clover and actually surprisingly 573 00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:22,360 Speaker 1: the past few hot days, the deer really been keying 574 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:26,680 Speaker 1: on a bone yard plot, which is a classica tourn 575 00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,280 Speaker 1: of Radish mix. They've really been him and those which 576 00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 1: usually they don't really hit too much till later in 577 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,560 Speaker 1: the year. So it's been interesting because every you know, 578 00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:36,440 Speaker 1: all the buck activity we've been seeing has been on 579 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 1: those plots, which unfortunately most of our set up in 580 00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:42,480 Speaker 1: north winds, so we've been having to set the clover 581 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,880 Speaker 1: and had some good action, but there's not not any 582 00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:48,720 Speaker 1: Bucks in me. How do you see those preferred food 583 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,280 Speaker 1: sources changing throughout the month of September. Do you think 584 00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:53,920 Speaker 1: they're going to be consistently on those couple of plots 585 00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:55,240 Speaker 1: that you were just talking about or is that going 586 00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,920 Speaker 1: to switch? Well, I mean a lot of times, you know, 587 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,720 Speaker 1: do you you know employeeaans right now them are still green, 588 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:02,920 Speaker 1: but they're just starting to turn um some you know, 589 00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:06,200 Speaker 1: opendion when they were playing it. So as those being 590 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:08,720 Speaker 1: fields change, you'll definitely see a shift in in the 591 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:11,440 Speaker 1: deer and in the sources that they kind of key on. 592 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:15,320 Speaker 1: And so colovis huge, usually really really good plot for October. 593 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:18,000 Speaker 1: Get those uh those North Wayne cold fronts in October 594 00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:20,960 Speaker 1: and Colover plots can be awesome. But I'm definitely keep 595 00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:23,320 Speaker 1: an eye on some of the phone your plots to 596 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:25,800 Speaker 1: keep utilizing them. How about bachelor groups. Are you still 597 00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:30,840 Speaker 1: seeing bucks traveling together? Absolutely? Yeah, yep, call all the 598 00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,600 Speaker 1: Bucks for the most part, you know, they're still that's 599 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,200 Speaker 1: that's that pretty good. It's just send some young bucks 600 00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 1: hanging out with those. Now, we just had a full 601 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,960 Speaker 1: moon for missouries opener. Does that change what you're doing? 602 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,600 Speaker 1: It on what your setups are like? You know, I 603 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,440 Speaker 1: don't pay a ton of attention to the moon, and honestly, um, 604 00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:49,640 Speaker 1: you know, I don't know how that that is really effective, 605 00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:52,440 Speaker 1: but I mean it's definitely you know, seeing seeing the 606 00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:54,920 Speaker 1: bucks you know, move around those a little bit. Scrapes 607 00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,480 Speaker 1: were actually starting to open up. Past couple of days, 608 00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:59,880 Speaker 1: I've seen some new scrapes open up and it seems 609 00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:03,560 Speaker 1: couldn't though, so they're definitely starting to. Yeah, kind of uh, 610 00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:06,040 Speaker 1: you know, get out of the summer routine and get 611 00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:09,480 Speaker 1: more into the scrapes that you're seeing opened up for 612 00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,360 Speaker 1: those kind of the community scrapes on field edges. Are 613 00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:17,200 Speaker 1: you seeing some more like individualized scrapes that specific bucks 614 00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:19,800 Speaker 1: are making on specific trails. Yeah, I think it's one 615 00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:22,000 Speaker 1: of the social thing for sure, you know, I like 616 00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:25,800 Speaker 1: shed velvet, rubbing, rubbing on trees and hitting, lifting branches 617 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,760 Speaker 1: and the type of stuff. So it's definitely stuff near 618 00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:32,760 Speaker 1: You knows, where are your trail cameras at this time 619 00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:34,920 Speaker 1: of year and how is that going to change as 620 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:36,920 Speaker 1: we get to the end of September and the beginning 621 00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:40,200 Speaker 1: of October right now, most of them are on food sources, 622 00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:42,920 Speaker 1: UM edges of foot plots, you know, trail waiting into 623 00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:45,840 Speaker 1: food plots.

I didn't hit bad and it's 639 00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:32,880 Speaker 1: wiped them out. And it's kind of my right this 640 00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:35,120 Speaker 1: year because you know, e h D is a here 641 00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:38,920 Speaker 1: of on a grout year.
