Speaker 1: tactics you can be using right now to fill that

9
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 1: late season tag. All right, welcome to the Wired to

10
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: Hunt podcast, brought to you by Onyx. We are here

11
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: for our last Rout Fresh radio episode of I know

12
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 1: there's a couple of weeks left in the year for

13
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 1: some of you. For for all of us, there's a

14
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: couple of weeks left in the year. For some of us,

15
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: they're still hunting season for something there's not um but

16
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: we're gonna do here is as we do every week

17
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 1: during the hunting season. We're going to hear from a

18
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: group of hunters from across the country about current dear activity,

19
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: about the conditions that are pushing right through now that

20
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 1: are impacting dear activity and hunting, and some some very

21
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: real time applicable ideas for how to get out there

22
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: and fill tag. Um. I'm down to my final hunts

23
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 1: run not time myself, so this kind of episode will

24
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: be helpful for me. I'm looking for any new ideas

25
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: I can get as I'm frantically desperately trying to kill

26
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: my target buck this year in Michigan. UM, so I'm

27
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: looking forward to this one. Spencer, do you have do

28
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: you have any high level things off the top of

29
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: you or mind that um stand out after chatting with

30
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: our upcoming guests, or or where's your head at with

31
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: all this man this time of year? It um feels

32
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 1: like you could give the same advice as somebody would

33
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: give during the rout, which is we say this often

34
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: market We write this often on the Meat Eater dot com.

35
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: But we always preach just like keep it simple. And

36
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: if we were saying that during the rout, we'd be

37
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: referring to hunting, travel corridors, hunting doll betting, stuff like that,

38
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: hunting buck betting this time of year, though, I think

39
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:20,959
Speaker 1: if you were to tell someone to keep it simple,

40
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: I would just mean to find the food and be

41
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: there in the evenings when the deer want to pile

42
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: into those places. And I think that is like the

43
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: best advice I could give for these last few weeks

44
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,519
Speaker 1: of the season. Yeah, yeah, you're right. It doesn't it's

45
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: not too complicated. But it's the execution of that is

46
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: where the trick is, right, um, Because you could find

47
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,519
Speaker 1: the food, and you could hunt there in the evenings,

48
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: and if you do it in a certain kind of

49
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: way or at certain times, you might screw it up,

50
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: you know, and and and not see the buck you're after,

51
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: not see a buck or whatever kind of deer you're after. Um,

52
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: you might not get that opportunity. So it always comes

53
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: down to a little bit of you know, still playing

54
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:07,519
Speaker 1: it smart, still having a good exit route and entry route, um,

55
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: knowing what the right food is. Um. So of course

56
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,519
Speaker 1: there are these little details, but you're right, it does

57
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:17,799
Speaker 1: come down to a couple basic foundational things, which in

58
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: the late season usually revolves around those food sources. And

59
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:22,519
Speaker 1: if you know what they're hitting right now, there's some

60
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: scouting or trail cameras or observation, um be there. So

61
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,519
Speaker 1: So here's the dilemma I've been debating there in my head.

62
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: I'm curiously you think Spencer I I as as I've

63
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: talked about often on this podcast. The spot where I'm

64
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: hunting this one buck that I'm after, that deer I've

65
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: been calling tran um. It's pretty limited. It's mostly just

66
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: fields in a little bit of field edge and then

67
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: a couple of little chunks of some cover. But oftentimes

68
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: the bucks that I'm hunting are spending a lot of

69
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: time on some neighboring properties in their cover, and I

70
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: the closest I can get is like on the edge

71
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: of the field, so I just hoping they're gonna pop out,

72
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: and they occasionally do, so I keep on the debating.

73
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: I can sit in the most likely entrance point to

74
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: the food source on my property as close as I

75
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: can possibly get to that betting era, and that's probably

76
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: like the right spots, the best chance that the most

77
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: you're going to come through. And sometimes the buckam after

78
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: does pass either. So I'll do that and then he

79
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: doesn't show up, and then the next day I'm thinking

80
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,799
Speaker 1: in my head, well, I could do the same thing again.

81
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 1: But at the same time, as we talk about again,

82
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: often the first hunt's always the best, and every time

83
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: you hunt a spot it gets a little bit worse

84
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 1: every time, and there's this desire to change it up.

85
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 1: Go somewhere new, be mobile, hunt a new spot, surprise

86
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: the deer um. So then I find myself thinking, all right,

87
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 1: I gotta try something different, I gotta go somewhere different.

88
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:50,919
Speaker 1: And so I went to a new spot and I

89
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 1: didn't see him there. And then you keep having this

90
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: mental gymnastics going on where you're where. Sometimes I find

91
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: myself overthinking things. One side of me saying, you got

92
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: you something the different, go somewhere else, try something else.

93
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 1: Then the other side of me, and this is what

94
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 1: was going on in my head last night as I

95
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: was heading out to hunt. The other side said, well,

96
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: what if you hadn't hunted here before, or if you

97
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: if none of these other things were going on, and

98
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: you just had to simply say, based on current conditions

99
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: and the wind and where you know deer are coming

100
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: into the best food source around, where's the best place

101
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 1: to be. And I would say, okay, well it's right

102
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: here at this gap um, close to that betting year,

103
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 1: right in the edge of that standing corn. Well, you

104
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: hunted there once and then trend didn't show up, but

105
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: you also didn't spook any deer that night, and your

106
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: wind was great. No dear knew you were there. Um,

107
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: you got picked up in the evening by a truck,

108
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: so you didn't go walking across the field, So maybe

109
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: your impact wasn't too noticeable. Maybe the Bucky were after

110
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 1: wasn't even in the general zone that night. He just

111
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: didn't happen to come through there. But maybe one out

112
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: every four nights he will. So there's this other thing

113
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: in my mind. This is maybe sometimes you just have

114
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 1: to put your time in. If you find the right spot,

115
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: hunt it right, but then you gotta give it some

116
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 1: time because maybe it's the third day that he'll show up.

117
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,359
Speaker 1: But if you bounce to a new place every night,

118
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: you'll never know that. So that's what I was sitting

119
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 1: here thinking about yesterday as I was heading out to hunt,

120
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 1: and I decided, you know what, this is gonna feel

121
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: really stupid if I hunt the same spot over and

122
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: over again. Um, but I have a bulletproof entry route,

123
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 1: a bulletproof exit route, and great wind direction. If I

124
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 1: put some time in here, I think eventually he will

125
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: come out. So I'm I'm not gonna be fancy. I'm

126
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 1: gonna keep it simple. I'm gonna hunt a simple, stupid

127
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: field edge spot that's as close as I can get

128
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: to the bedding area on my side of the line,

129
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: and um, right there where I think he's going to

130
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 1: come to the food. And so I did it, and

131
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: he showed up last night and he came out, and

132
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: I explained this on the upcoming main ups of the podcast,

133
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: but I couldn't get a shot at him, but um,

134
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: but it came really, really, really really close, And I

135
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,719
Speaker 1: think for me, it just was a reminder that we

136
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: have to be careful not to outsmart ourselves. Sometimes you

137
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: just have to put the time in when you're doing

138
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: the right things. Sometimes you have to give that spot

139
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: the right amount of time. Um. So that was a

140
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: little less than I picked up this season that I'll

141
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: think about probably the rest of the year and we'll

142
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: see what it does for me next season. But I

143
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 1: think I think you're right. I think we gotta be

144
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:36,239
Speaker 1: careful not to overcomplicate it. But like something though that

145
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: I think people may be overlook this time of year

146
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: is the value of scouting. And if you are somebody

147
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: who's in college and has a Christmas break, or you

148
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 1: work a job where they give you like between Christmas

149
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: and New Year's off, and you're still trying to fill

150
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 1: a tag. Uh, it can be really valuable to just

151
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: like not hunt for a few evenings, to get out

152
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: there and just glass and see everything that's going on.

153
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: If you have some destination food source like pick corn

154
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: or a food plot or hay bales or whatever that

155
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 1: might look like for you, if you have five nights

156
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: available to hunt, and I think if you put one

157
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: or two of those towards scouting, just to figure out

158
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 1: where these deer at and and look at the trails

159
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: that the snow can help you decide on, it's going

160
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: to make those last three hunts way more valuable than

161
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: if you're just out there guessing and trying to adjust

162
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: on the fly. And it sounds like Mark that it

163
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: was all the scouting that you've had going into this

164
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: haunt that almost allowed you to kill Tran there. Yes,

165
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,679
Speaker 1: you are two thousand percent right. Um. What I didn't

166
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: tell you is that I had seen this buck will

167
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 1: while glassing. I didn't hunt a few nights, and I

168
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: was instead glassing from this hillside way off in the distance,

169
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: and I saw him going through that betting year, heading

170
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: south towards this spot near the cornfield. And if he

171
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 1: continued on that path, he'd be coming out to the

172
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: spot that I wanted to hunt. So that's why I

173
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 1: felt so confident hunting there because I knew that, you know,

174
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: I've seen him numerous times, not just those two times,

175
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 1: but even earlier in the year. Um, I'd seen him

176
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: taking that route, heading that direction, So I felt pretty

177
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 1: confident that that that was where he had had some

178
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: percentage of the time and I had the right conditions

179
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 1: for So Yes, the scouting allowed me to have that

180
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 1: confidence that I was in the right place and that

181
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: I had to give it the time. If I didn't

182
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 1: have that right then it's just a guessing game. Then

183
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:26,479
Speaker 1: you're blowing things up for no good reason. And that's

184
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: that's where you gotta be careful. Don't sit somewhere randomly

185
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 1: willy nilly and just hunt and hunt and hunt it

186
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,079
Speaker 1: for no good reason. But if you've got a good reason,

187
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 1: and if you've got yourself the right exit and entry,

188
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: and if you've got yourself a good place for your

189
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: wind to blow and you're being smart about it, then yes,

190
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: that's a well planned hunt. Still. Um So it's it's

191
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: it's funny you get so involved in this and I

192
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:55,319
Speaker 1: think about so often that that you forget all these

193
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 1: little steps that lead up to the ultimate decision of

194
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: what you do on any given day or night, and

195
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: it all kind of accrues like a snowball, day after day,

196
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: year after year. Um, and then you just kind of

197
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: forget that you're actually doing it. But I think that

198
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 1: is the value and just thinking about this stuff a

199
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: lot scouting a lot, hunting a lot. You might not

200
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 1: kill buck this year, but you're gonna learn so much

201
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 1: going through that process that next year will help you

202
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: and year after year after year that eventually, you know,

203
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: helps us find some success once in a while. Yeah.

204
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 1: And besides your report from Mischigan this week, Mark, we

205
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: talked to Philip Vanderpool in Arkansas from the Virtue TV.

206
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: Did we go to Illinois and talk to Grant Oldenburg

207
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 1: from Triple Threat Retrievers, And then in Virginia from the

208
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: Urban Bowman, we talked to Taylor Chamberlain and then we

209
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 1: talked to Nate Crick from Identical Draw in Kansas. Sounds

210
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: like a good lineup. Um. I know big cult front

211
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: just hit here in Michigan, so I'm feeling good about

212
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 1: the next few days. Do you do we have some

213
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: similar optimism for folks. Yeah, I think everyone kind of

214
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 1: shares the same sentiment that if you have food and

215
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: you wait for the right way they're being uh, you know,

216
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: cold and maybe some snow that the deer are going

217
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: to pile in there. And it's something that you've covered

218
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 1: on the meat Eator dot com a few times, like

219
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 1: what is the ideal late season weather pattern? Um, and

220
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: we should have some of that on the way for

221
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 1: parts of the country. Hey, speaking of the Mediator dot

222

00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: to watching that alright and joining us online. Next is

260
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: Philip Vanderpool from the Virtue TV in Arkansas. Now, Philip

261
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: in Arkansas, what would you say the bucket activity has

262
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 1: been lateley on the scale one to ten, I would

263
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: say about a five er sit. And the reason why

264
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 1: I say that is we've had, uh, mainly a lot

265
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:36,839
Speaker 1: of warm weather and it seems like the activity has

266
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 1: basically been nocturnal and when that's what I'm saying on

267
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,679
Speaker 1: my covert trail cameras right now, saying a lot of that,

268
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 1: and we had such a mass crop for acres and stuff.

269
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: They are still out there, They're not having to go

270
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 1: far to get food. What would you say the ideal

271
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: weather conditions are when deer hunting in Arkansas and December? Well, ideally,

272
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: you know if cold, the cold of the weather, the

273
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: bigger the buck and if you can stand the weather,

274
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 1: and that's where the ground blinds usually play a play

275
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:12,079
Speaker 1: a huge park this time of year. Um, you get

276
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: those high pressure days and bright sunny days with that

277
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 1: cold winter, it just seems like it puts them on

278
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 1: their feet more in the daylight. And that's so that's

279
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: what we need. And when we get that, I think

280
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: we're gonna be uh, you'll see activity. So we're up

281
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 1: there for sure, and then they're gonna be checking for

282
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: the last few days that that come in. Est was

283
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: late this time of year as well. Besides acorns, what

284
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 1: other food sources should hunters be focused on in Arkansas? Well,

285
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: I mean, if you've got any any time you've got

286
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 1: you know, obviously a food plot, you know, maybe some winter,

287
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 1: we we don't have a lot of that where I'm at,

288
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: um to be honest with you, but uh, brows, I

289
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 1: love to hunt honeysuckles. If you can find a place

290
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: that has a honey suckle thicket in there, they like

291
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 1: that for brows. That's where they get their green and

292
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: but any anything like that that that has some type

293
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: of brows that they can get to, especially when the

294
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 1: weather gets colder and the ground's frozen, harder to get to. Um.

295
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 1: But that's that's what I would concentrate. And you know,

296
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 1: the real feet state so a lot of the guys

297
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 1: you know, obviously want to you know, probably throw out

298
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 1: a little corn or a big tin is what I

299
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 1: what I normally try to use up. And that's to

300
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: get the doze in for sure, you know, and hopefully

301
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 1: those bucks will come in and still you know, looking

302
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 1: for a hot though it's hard to get a mature

303
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: deer on a you know, a feed pile a lot

304
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: of times. Uh. But that's that's what I recommend. But

305
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 1: any time you can find a green something green that

306
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 1: they can browse on really really works out this time

307
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: of year. If you can find that. You mentioned trail

308
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 1: cameras before. Where your trail camera is focused in mid

309
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 1: to late December, well right now mid and late December.

310
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: I've got them on crossings. I've got a lot of

311
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 1: fence crossings, uh, where the ditches you know run down

312
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 1: at the say, the head of a horror. That's that's

313
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 1: our terminology where I'm playing at the head of the

314
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: hollow there. But you know, places like that. And then obviously,

315
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 1: if if you've got some showing piles out and stuff

316
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 1: to kind of see what's going on because they may

317
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 1: not be coming. Here's the thing. If if guys are feeding. Uh,

318
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 1: you may not get that buck. He may be nocturnal,

319
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: but if you can get a direction where he's coming from.

320
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 1: And that's where the cobra trail cameras help me so much,

321
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 1: is telling me what direction they're coming from. And then

322
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 1: all you need to do is just moving a little

323
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 1: closer to try to get him in the daylight. That's

324
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: how you get on these big mature bucks. But if

325
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 1: you can get a little food plot, I've got a

326
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: buck brunch food plot. Uh, you know it's good for

327
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 1: the late season right now and stuff there, and the

328
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 1: deer are starting to get off the acrons a little

329
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: bit and getting on that, so getting on the food plus,

330
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: so I'm looking forward to seeing what I'm getting. I'm

331
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 1: starting to get a little more activity on my trail

332
00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 1: cameras on that as well on my foot plots. Are

333
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 1: you concerned with moon phases all late season? It can't

334
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:05,879
Speaker 1: affect you. But I'll tell you what I what I

335
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 1: like to do, and and and and when you're going

336
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 1: in late season. A lot of times I'll skip a

337
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,880
Speaker 1: morning just because I don't especially if it's a place

338
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,160
Speaker 1: I want to go back for the afternoon. I may

339
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 1: skip the morning set, but get in there that nine

340
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 1: thirty ten o'clock and go ahead and make all day

341
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 1: set because a lot of times midday that sun pops

342
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 1: out and if they've got a little you know, if

343
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,639
Speaker 1: if they're not bothered too much and pressured much, uh,

344
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 1: you can get that midday activity. But usually the afternoons

345
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 1: are way better when you're getting close close to the

346
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 1: food sources. For sure, in a lot of northern states,

347
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: you see a shift in bedding this time of year.

348
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,120
Speaker 1: Is that the same thing in Arkansas? Well, I tell

349
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,639
Speaker 1: you now where I'm at, it's I'm right in the

350
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 1: heart of the Ozarks and I'm hunting mountain country and

351
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,400
Speaker 1: mass crops is really what they depend on. The one

352
00:17:56,440 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 1: thing I see that I look for, um is where

353
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,719
Speaker 1: that sun hits. And you know on the south slopes.

354
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 1: A lot of times do you like to get on

355
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,119
Speaker 1: those south slopes and get out of that cold and

356
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: they will congregate in there. If you've got a food

357
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:13,679
Speaker 1: source or acron crop or whatever in that area, A

358
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,919
Speaker 1: lot of times that will help you out a bunch. Um.

359
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,399
Speaker 1: That's That's kind of what I look for. And probably

360
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 1: as much as anything is where that sun is melting off.

361
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 1: You know, if it's a little bit of ice, I

362
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 1: think we you know, right now, we've got a little

363
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:28,919
Speaker 1: bit of ice, we had a little bit of weather conditions,

364
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 1: and right now probably would be a really good time

365
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,199
Speaker 1: to be thinking about getting up there in a situation

366
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 1: there and trying to hunt each deer right now again

367
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 1: on a food source going forward then in the sex

368
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 1: week or so, what do you think that bucket activity

369
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 1: is going to be on a scale of one to

370
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 1: ten in Arkansas? I think, Um, as long as we

371
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 1: got the cold weather right now, I think it's gonna

372
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 1: be about a six to eight level probably, you know that.

373
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be really good. Now. With that

374
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,439
Speaker 1: being said, if that weather warms back up, it's going

375
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 1: to probably put them back Doccnel. But hey, the way

376
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,160
Speaker 1: I look at this guy, you gotta be out there

377
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 1: to kill him and you never I mean, luck's got

378
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 1: to be on the side. A lot of times you

379
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: don't know if a coach is bumping a deer or

380
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 1: somebody else. More activity, you know, just get have to

381
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,199
Speaker 1: and enjoy it, man, and have fun and enjoy it.

382
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: But Graham Blind's work really well this time of year.

383
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 1: It kind of helps conceal your scent, but at the

384
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 1: same time, UM, you know it, it keeps you a

385
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 1: little bit warmer, and maybe get your buddy heater and

386
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 1: just be comfortable and have fun and enjoy the hunt.

387
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,159
Speaker 1: A right, Philip would like your optimism, good luck and

388
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,760

Speaker 1: into alright in joining us online. Next is Grant Oldenburg

392
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 1: from Triple Threat Retrievers in Illinois now Grant in Illinois.

393
00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 1: What would you say the bucket activity has been lately

394
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 1: on this one to ten? Um, I'd had to go

395
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 1: with it being a nine and a ten. It's tough

396
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 1: to say ever say ten and at ten, but over

397
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:11,920
Speaker 1: the past three days we've had two great mature box

398
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 1: taken from our property, and uh, the movement has been fantastic.

399
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,120
Speaker 1: So I gotta go with a nine out of ten.

400
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 1: Tell me a little bit about those setups where you

401
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 1: guys killed those deer. Yeah. So the buck I shot

402
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 1: on Saturday the fourteenth was um, basically a really our

403
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: only pinch point on the property between two betting areas,

404
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,119
Speaker 1: and uh I was able to get a shot at

405
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:38,400
Speaker 1: him at fifteen yards at about eleven o'clock in the afternoon. Um,

406
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 1: when he was switching between bed and areas, I presume,

407
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 1: and I was able to get a shot on him.

408
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:47,200
Speaker 1: Eleven o'clock in the afternoon. Seems really late for this

409
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 1: time of year. Are you often doing some midday sits. Yeah,

410
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 1: the area was in is uh. You know, I have

411
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: trail camera picks from late season there and I've seen

412
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 1: a lot of buck activity in the area late morning

413
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 1: and it's actually kind of funny that um early in

414
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,160
Speaker 1: the morning. Um, right at first light, I had two

415
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 1: shooters come in and they just wouldn't give me a shot.

416
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 1: And then a couple minutes later I had another shooter

417
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 1: come in which I did get a shot on and

418
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 1: uh I had an arrow to flect off a branch. Um.

419
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 1: Then about nine o'clock, I had a dope come through

420
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 1: at fifteen yards as they able to shoot her, and

421
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 1: I was just my goal is to fit till eleven,

422
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: knowing that I see a lot of bucks in there

423
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 1: between ten and noon. Just um just transferred through this

424
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 1: pinch point and uh, for some reason, I said an

425
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 1: extra ten minutes. Then it paid off. Are you seeing

426
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 1: any secondary running activity this year? Yeah, it was. It

427
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 1: was a week ago. I was starting to see some

428
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 1: little bucks pushing around. Does again I had one nice

429
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 1: mature buck, Um run those small bucks off and push

430
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 1: those But um, this this past weekend, starting to see

431
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,679
Speaker 1: the bucks group up again, and um, you know we

432
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,199
Speaker 1: were seeing him throughout the property really grouping back up

433
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:57,120
Speaker 1: and seeing him in pairs and even threes. So, um,

434
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 1: I think that's that's that's already passed. What food sources

435
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 1: should hunters in Illinois be focused on this time of year? Yeah,

436
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 1: I think that right now. Um, with the temperatures dipping

437
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 1: down the way they had, we've had a couple of

438
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 1: weeks of kemps, you know, flirting in the freezing blow freezing,

439
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: and uh that's given the farmers an opportunity to finally

440
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 1: get their corn off and into the wet areas due

441
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 1: to the real wet fall we've had in the Midwest.

442
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,639
Speaker 1: And uh, I think, um, then being able to go

443
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 1: in there and do that is opening up you know,

444
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 1: more movement for them, dear. And then also, um, I

445
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 1: think those are gonna be hitting a lot of those

446
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,120
Speaker 1: fresh pick corn fields. Now they're looking at them off

447
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 1: the betting area that you were hunting is at the

448
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,640
Speaker 1: same place that they've been betting basically all the way

449
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 1: from October until now, or did they switch betting recently

450
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 1: in late season. Yeah, the area we hunt, they do

451
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 1: a lot of switching on the bedding. UM. Early season,

452
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 1: you'll see them more out in CRP fields and UM

453
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 1: along and you'll see him sometimes on the edge of

454
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 1: ridges up there and that you know, when it gets

455
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 1: colder like this, we see him shift into um real

456
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 1: dense thermal cover on on those ridges and then also

457
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,360
Speaker 1: in the areas of the pines um that we have.

458
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 1: So usually after the second gun season in Illinois, he

459
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 1: started to see him, UM, the movement kind of shifting

460
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,680
Speaker 1: their in their patterns change. Did you find any fresh

461
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 1: sign making being that close to the bedding There's it's

462
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,479
Speaker 1: this property. Um, it's tough not to find sign as

463
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 1: far as rubs go. UM. I mean you can find

464
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 1: rubs almost anywhere, so um, sometimes it's it's tough to

465
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 1: ignore those. At the same time, they're so frequent throughout

466
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 1: the property that uh, we don't always we don't always

467
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 1: use that information and a lot of the scrapes. Um,

468
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:45,639
Speaker 1: you know, we have camera set up on scrapes and

469
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 1: they kind of they kind of dried up a little bit.

470
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 1: Going forward, then in the sext week or so, what

471
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:52,880
Speaker 1: do you think that bucket activity is going to be

472
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 1: on a scale of one to tend in Illinois? Well,

473
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 1: we still have some guys are hunting our property and uh,

474
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 1: I think Wednesday, um, the eighteens is gonna be a

475
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 1: great day. It's gonna be a cold dipping the temperatures.

476
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 1: But after that, um, not feeling so optimistic as it's

477
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 1: gonna warm back up again. So you know, I had

478
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: estimate it probably had a five out of ten or

479
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:17,199
Speaker 1: maybe even last for the upcoming weeks. All right, Grant, Well,

480
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:20,439
Speaker 1: congrats on the awesome dear, thanks for joining me. Thanks Spencer,

481
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:23,919
Speaker 1: alright and joining us on the line. Next is Taylor

482
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: Chamberlain in Virginia from the Urban Bowman. Now Taylor in Virginia,

483
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 1: what would you say the bucket activity has been lately

484
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,879
Speaker 1: on the scale of one to ten. Well, on the

485
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:36,400
Speaker 1: skill one of ten, it's a hard ten because of

486
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 1: what I was able to see in the woods a

487
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 1: couple of days ago. So when I was pulling up

488
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 1: to a party a property in Parking, I saw a

489
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 1: dough run by, uh and and quickly right behind her

490
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:52,120
Speaker 1: I saw over eight shooter bucks that we're dogging her.

491
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 1: So clearly this time of year, you know, any dough

492
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 1: that hasn't come into into heat and been bred will

493
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 1: cycle again about thirty days later, So we're kind of

494
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 1: just pass that window here. Uh, Northern Virginia, like the

495
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 1: eighth to the twelfth of November is really peak breeding

496
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,640
Speaker 1: for us in years past. So then again December eight

497
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 1: to the twelfth is is gonna be a prime time,

498
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 1: But that doesn't mean that every dough in the woods

499
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 1: it's gonna cycle at that exact time. So, uh, if

500
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 1: you can kind of key in on late season food

501
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,360
Speaker 1: sources right now, try to find where those does are.

502
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:33,679
Speaker 1: The bucks are gonna be doing the same thing because

503
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 1: they're looking for any dough that has has cycled again.

504
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 1: So what I'm looking for right now are primarily red oaks. Uh.

505
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,399
Speaker 1: In my neck of the woods, the red oaks that

506
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 1: drop early season have too many tannins in them. They're

507
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 1: too acidic for the deer to to tolerate. When they

508
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 1: have the option of the white oaks or other brows.

509
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:59,120
Speaker 1: But I'm not sure if it's because of the timing

510
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 1: or that they've been on the ground, or if it's

511
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:05,399
Speaker 1: just out of a lack of necessity. Um, but you know,

512
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 1: the deer like to key in on those red of

513
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 1: food sources, and I noticed that the dose will bed

514
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 1: pretty close to those. So I try to get uh

515
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 1: in the travel areas around those feeding or around where

516
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:22,160
Speaker 1: those does are bedding, preferably the down wind side. Just

517
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 1: like peak rut in in November. Uh, those bucks tend

518
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 1: to be cruising by and and trying to check those does.

519
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,159
Speaker 1: That area has a very high deer density. So do

520
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 1: you see a strong secondary rout every single year or

521
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 1: there are some other factors that change whether or not

522
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 1: you're going to see a lot of rutting in December.

523
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:47,159
Speaker 1: So we see a very strong second rut because of

524
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 1: how high our deer density is. Based on the fact

525
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 1: that we just have such a skewed number of does

526
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 1: in this area, Uh, it's just not possible for them

527
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 1: to all be bred during the first rut. So if

528
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: but if I come back as a buck, I'd love

529
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 1: to be in this area. Based on the fact that

530
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 1: it's a low hunter density and a high dough density.

531
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 1: Sounds like a pretty good place for a buck to be.

532
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:14,199
Speaker 1: But we have very high uh second rut, and we

533
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:17,160
Speaker 1: even have a third rut. And I've seen as as

534
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:21,919
Speaker 1: late as mid January and sometimes February since seen chasing

535
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 1: uh just because I think those dose will cycle until

536
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 1: they get bread. What kind of weather are you looking

537
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:33,719
Speaker 1: for this time of year. I'm looking for a something

538
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 1: that's outside of the normal range for the week. So

539
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:41,119
Speaker 1: if we have mild temperatures, I'm looking for that first

540
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 1: cold cold snap morning, or if we have really cold days,

541
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:49,360
Speaker 1: I'm looking for that first kind of warm up afternoon.

542
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:53,639
Speaker 1: But the I'm looking for for something outside of that

543
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 1: kind of median range throughout the week. UM. Also looking

544
00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 1: for spikes and barometric pressure. I've found that it's common

545
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 1: to have higher barometric pressure this time of year as

546
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 1: a roll into the winter. But um, overall those days

547
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:14,680
Speaker 1: with really high barometric pressure, I've always seen much better

548
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 1: deer movement and earlier deer movement in the afternoon with

549
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 1: this second and third rout. Do you see a lot

550
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 1: of signmaking then late into the winter, for sure? Yeah,

551
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 1: we see UM the standard kind of signmaking that you

552
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 1: will see throughout uh, you know, late October early November.

553
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 1: The only thing that's really different is UM. I think

554
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 1: it's really uh specific to little pockets, so you have

555
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 1: to find those pockets that hold the dough densities. It's

556
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 1: not the same you know during late October early November,

557
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 1: where the bucks are kind of cruising everywhere and just

558
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 1: leaving sign it seems to be more isolated to tighter

559
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 1: on the dough betting areas. But overall, UM, there's tons

560
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 1: of tons of scrapes. You can still good active pictures

561
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 1: in daylight on a scrape, lots of rubbing, but it

562
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:06,479
Speaker 1: just seems to be tighter to that cord dough betting.

563
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 1: Where are your trail cameras focus in mid to late December.

564
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 1: I like those travel corridors, any any terrain pinch points, UM,

565
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 1: areas that the deer are gonna have to travel through

566
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 1: that are really kind of close to that food area.

567
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 1: So I like to try and hone in on the

568
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 1: food source, figure out where the deer betting that the

569
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 1: dose will really not travel very far uh this time

570
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 1: of year from betting to food because they're all herded up.

571
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 1: They can get away with maybe a little less cover

572
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 1: than they would need to have a different times of

573
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 1: the year when they're kind of uh more broken up

574
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 1: for the ruts. So I like to kind of put

575
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 1: my cameras real tight to betting food travel corridor kind

576
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 1: of uh not not as much on scrapes, just because

577
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 1: there's less activity, uh consistently than there normally is and

578
00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 1: kind of like late October when I normally have a

579
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 1: have a camera on a screen going forward, then in

580
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 1: the sex week or so, what do you think that

581
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 1: buck activity is going to be on a scale of

582
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:09,719
Speaker 1: one to ten in Virginia, I think it's about a seven.

583
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 1: So if you can find the does, you're gonna see

584
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 1: really good buck movement. Outside of that, if you're in

585
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 1: the wrong spot or you're outside of where that that

586
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 1: core dough group on your areas, you might see zero movement.

587
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 1: But if you find the DOES, I promise you'll find bucks.

588
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 1: All right, Taylor, congrats on the awesome buck you just killed.

589
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 1: Good luck with what's left of your year. Thanks for

590
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 1: joining me, Thanks for having me, Spencer, good luck everybody

591
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 1: out there alright and joining us on the line. Last

592
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 1: is Nate Creek in Kansas from identical Jaw now Nate

593
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 1: in Kansas. What would you say the buck activities been lately?

594
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 1: On a scale of one to ten, I would say

595
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 1: buck activity lately has probably been close to seven out

596
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 1: of ten. Um, I would say seven because it actually

597
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 1: started to increase with this colder weather coming through in

598
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 1: the snow, and it just seems like what the trail

599
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:03,719
Speaker 1: cameras have been telling me and what I've seen is um,

600
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 1: those bucks starting to move go to those food sources,

601
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 1: and we've actually still been getting a decent amount of

602
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 1: daylight activity from them. So it's been it's been pretty good.

603
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 1: What food sources shoot hunters and Kansas be focused on

604
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 1: this time of year. I mean there's always the big

605
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 1: ag with corn and beans. UM. The best food source

606
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 1: that we have that we're hunting is beans with um

607
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 1: mixed with brasicas, with radishes and all those things. And

608
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 1: it's been it's been super good. We have trail cameras

609
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 1: on and we're getting still daylight picks and some of

610
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 1: our best hunts have been in that field. UM. Just

611
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 1: a few days ago, we had the neighbor who was

612
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 1: hunting next door when we were down there, saying you've

613
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 1: got there's so many bucks in your beans field right now,

614
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 1: And the secret to that was we just we just

615
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 1: didn't harvest them. We just we didn't mow them downward,

616
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 1: just letting them stand go through the winter because right now,

617
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 1: after the busy chasing of the rut, food is on

618
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 1: their minds. So it has been a ticket those standing

619
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 1: beans and ravishes. Are you seeing any secondary rudding this year?

620
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we have actually seen a pretty good, um

621
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 1: glimpse of it. It's kind of winding down now that

622
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 1: I'd say the last ten days to two weeks, we've

623
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 1: actually been having our our scrape cameras get hit a

624
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 1: little bit more with bucks almost making second or like

625
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 1: another round of sign and then a few We've had

626
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 1: some pictures and been seeing activity of still some chasing

627
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 1: some bucks with their heads down and kind of move

628
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 1: pushing those around. So there's there's definitely been a little

629
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 1: bit of that where most of your trail cameras focus

630
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 1: this time of year. Um, we transitioned a lot of

631
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 1: them from the big timber November UM hunting spots to

632
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 1: the bean field and a round of food sources. But

633
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 1: I would say our besides the being camera that we

634
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 1: have right now. Our second best camera is in bedding

635
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 1: just off to the beans. We are getting a ton

636
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 1: of movement and still some some good buck daylight pictures. Actually,

637
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 1: twenty minutes before he called me, we had a shooter

638
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 1: ten point walked right in our bedding camera and it's

639
00:32:56,400 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 1: just in thick um basically weeds grass roses um, right

640
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 1: off of our bean field, probably six yards and that's

641
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 1: that's our best camera in the property right now. For context,

642
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 1: Nate and I are talking at one pm, so you

643
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 1: had a buck just up and moving around noon here.

644
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 1: You mentioned that the betting is near the bean field.

645
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 1: Is that where most of the deer you find are

646
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 1: betting this time of year? Yeah, they're from what I've seen.

647
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 1: Is there right off that food source. I think that

648
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 1: they make it easier. They just say, I'm gonna go

649
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 1: feed whenever I want. It's right there. I can be

650
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 1: bedded down by the food source. Um, and I mean

651
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 1: it's on a great facing slope, so there they're comfortable

652
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 1: most of the day and I feel like they feel

653
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 1: really secure by that. And right now I think they're

654
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 1: safety is that food source, so they want to be close.

655
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 1: Do you find any signmaking around the edge of that

656
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 1: bean field. Oh yeah, we are being feelings been some

657
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 1: of the best signed. Tons of scrapes along that edge,

658
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 1: UM and you can just see there's deer trails, I

659
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 1: mean clear the day, especially with the recent recent snow

660
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 1: we've had down there, it's clear tons of scrapes along

661
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 1: that field edge. How did the deer in that area

662
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 1: respond to gun hunting pressure, Well, the gun season actually

663
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:12,239
Speaker 1: just ended this last Sunday in Kansas, and they we

664
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 1: definitely noticed some some some nighttime activity definitely picked up,

665
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:18,759
Speaker 1: but it was it was kind of interesting. There's a

666
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 1: warm spell during a lot of that um rifle season,

667
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 1: so I noticed a lot less movement on the cameras

668
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 1: and from when we were out there. So I'm not

669
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 1: sure if that was because of the rifle movement of

670
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:32,879
Speaker 1: more guys in the woods, or if that was becomes

671
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:34,720
Speaker 1: of the weather. But it could have been a combo.

672
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 1: But I know that area gets hit pretty heavy. UM.

673
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 1: But I mean after that ended, these last two days

674
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 1: have been some of the best um buck pictures we've

675
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 1: been getting all feet and almost I mean tons of

676
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 1: daylight action. So I don't I don't think they really

677
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:52,319
Speaker 1: minded it. A ton. There was definitely a time there

678
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 1: where the cameras went quiet, but I'm not sure if

679
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 1: that was weather or hunter. So it really hasn't been

680
00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:59,839
Speaker 1: too bad going forward. Then, in the next week or so,

681
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:01,799
Speaker 1: what do you think that bucket activity is going to

682
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,840
Speaker 1: be a scale of one to ten in Kansas? I

683
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,759
Speaker 1: would say it's gonna say. I think eight to ten

684
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 1: is what I put it at. Um, it's been really

685
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 1: good lately and I plan on it being good the

686
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:16,400
Speaker 1: next at least few days. Um. I see the temperatures

687
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 1: are gonna rise, so that might slop things down a

688
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 1: little bit. But I mean late season can be this

689
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:23,680
Speaker 1: time of the year can be the best time to

690
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 1: get after the buck he's been chasing. Um, get on

691
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:29,280
Speaker 1: those food sources if you can leave that food standing.

692
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:32,319
Speaker 1: And it's it's been super good for us, all right, Nate, Well,

693
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 1: good luck with what's left of your season. Thanks for

694
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:36,239
Speaker 1: joining me. It sounds good. Thanks been ser
