Let's go. 13 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 2: This is rutfresh, brought to you by first Light Gear. 14 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 2: I'm your host Tyler Jones. Case Smith's in the house 15 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 2: with me too, hosting this thing. And we have been 16 00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 2: working hard the last week in Texas, of all places. Case, 17 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,400 Speaker 2: why would you work hard in a place that's as 18 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,240 Speaker 2: hot as Texas in the middle of October. 19 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 3: Tyler's just sometimes some people work hard and that's just 20 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 3: what they do, even whenever it doesn't benefit that much. Yeah, 21 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 3: you know what I mean. So maybe we should work less, 22 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 3: but in fact, I don't know, man, I just don't 23 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,319 Speaker 3: think that's how we're wired. And tell you the truth, 24 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:30,319 Speaker 3: hard work doesn't always mean success, but it is a 25 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 3: better way to find success than to just sit around, 26 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,679 Speaker 3: so you can get out and find some new stuff out, 27 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:43,120 Speaker 3: figure out your own little place in this world sometimes. 28 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 3: You know, it's it's pretty conventional thought that the rut 29 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 3: in Texas is later than the Midwest. However that's not 30 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 3: always the case. Texas is huge, Texas is huge, huge, huge, 31 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 3: and uh, you know, they're there's a lot of different 32 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 3: ruts in Texas. We've talked about it on our podcast 33 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 3: quite a bit over the years, and I mean we've 34 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 3: got ruts from what September to you know, mid to 35 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 3: late December that that's and that's like that is not 36 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 3: just like saying that the deer ruddy, but that's saying 37 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 3: like that is the absolute rage of the rut, you 38 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 3: know what I mean, that's that is the time that 39 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 3: they are chasing the best week of the year. It 40 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,360 Speaker 3: goes from I mean, there's just a huge range because 41 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 3: we've got a big coast, and we've got desert mountains 42 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 3: that look like Mexico, and we've got the high planes, 43 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,960 Speaker 3: carbl mountain white tails. Michael Wadell showed a big one 44 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:37,919 Speaker 3: of those one time, did he? Yeah, sure enough. That's 45 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 3: when I learned that that existed. Really yep from Michael Wadell. 46 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 3: Michael Wadell, what a guy. He knows some stuff. Man, 47 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 3: He's been there, seen that. 48 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:46,080 Speaker 4: You know. 49 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:47,959 Speaker 3: I want to target from him. One time. 50 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 2: They did one of those caption this best caption wins 51 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,799 Speaker 2: a target and uh, you know that dice block out there, 52 00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 2: that's the one on that I said white l for President. Anyway, 53 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 2: So yeah, what you were saying, though, and I guess 54 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,640 Speaker 2: probably what you're leading to, is that there are some 55 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 2: ruts going on right now, and you and I decided 56 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:17,240 Speaker 2: to travel a little ways recently do some different things, 57 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 2: and I actually went hunting on some public land and 58 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,800 Speaker 2: in one night might have had something go my way. 59 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 2: We'll talk more about that on our podcast, the Element podcast, 60 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 2: later on. But the fact of the matter is this 61 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 2: is Rut Fresh Radio and we are talking about a 62 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 2: rut going on in Texas right now. We hadn't really 63 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 2: been able to talk about ruts anywhere, I don't think, 64 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 2: on this podcast yet this year, and there were some 65 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 2: ruddy ruddy things happening. And in fact, it was a 66 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 2: cold front day, which I alluded to earlier in the 67 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 2: intro of this podcast that guys are finding some success 68 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 2: on cold fronts. We had a cold front day that 69 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 2: coincided with a certain areas maybe beginning of its rut, 70 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 2: and the things happened, and we saw the trail cameras 71 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 2: light up. We were noticing like raccoons in the middle 72 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 2: of the day walking around and just the open and 73 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 2: that's how you know, man, the animals were moving, they 74 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 2: were feeling frisky. It's like that first day of football 75 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 2: practice when there's a little north wind and it's finally 76 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 2: not ninety five. Just everybody's in a better mood and 77 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 2: everybody wants to run around, you know, on the football field. 78 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 2: And that's the way it is in the woods. And 79 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 2: that was the day that that happened. It was a 80 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:36,719 Speaker 2: it was a pretty fun day. So anyway, you went 81 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,600 Speaker 2: and did some stuff in a different area where there's 82 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 2: a different. 83 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,559 Speaker 3: Rut and there's no ruddy stuff happening, no ready stuff. 84 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,360 Speaker 3: So I was and yeah, there's a lot of curves. Man, 85 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 3: I'm ready for the spring out there. You'll if you 86 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 3: follow what we do is the element. You'll see a 87 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,839 Speaker 3: lot of videos coming from this particular property that we 88 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 3: got access to up in the Panhandle. I went up 89 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 3: and did a bunch of prep work there, and it's 90 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 3: about eight hundred acres and I saw one rub which 91 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 3: was nice to see. But we did see some deer 92 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 3: a few doos around. There's a wheat plot planted dirt 93 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,600 Speaker 3: though there's nothing coming up any yet, so they need 94 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:21,360 Speaker 3: a little moisture. I'm out there. But yeah, So it's 95 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 3: like the regionality of things was very apparent to me 96 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:27,599 Speaker 3: this week because we can be, you know, in the 97 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,040 Speaker 3: oaks and pines and potentially be seeing some deer doing 98 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 3: some snooping, and then you go out there and nah, yeah, 99 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,720 Speaker 3: so you know, I'm not this is kind of a 100 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 3: joke around here. But I'm not a big moon guy, 101 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 3: you know. Yeah, I'm not much of a mooner, as 102 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 3: they say. But I do think that potentially, I kind 103 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:56,280 Speaker 3: of think just like the lunar cycle with specifically according 104 00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 3: to the light that the moon provides makes a difference. 105 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 3: I don't think that the deer, this is my personal opinion. 106 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 3: I don't think that the deer feeling the pull of 107 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,919 Speaker 3: the moon, like a tide on the ocean does or 108 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 3: anything like that, and it makes them get out of 109 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 3: bed or whatever. But I think that and this kind 110 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 3: of goes across all animals that are kind of that 111 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,720 Speaker 3: crepuscular type. Cruppuscular I think those are early in that 112 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 3: it is. But anyways, I think that when you have 113 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,599 Speaker 3: a full moon, deer can do stuff all night long, 114 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 3: and it actually is pretty similar movement to a new moon, 115 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 3: which was means no moon. But when you have these 116 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 3: half moons, you'll have a lot of moonlight, either early 117 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 3: in the evening or early in the morning, you know 118 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 3: what I mean, Like either side of the midnight, you'll 119 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 3: have more light, and it kind of effects what you're 120 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,159 Speaker 3: going to see with deer movement for the next morning 121 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,359 Speaker 3: of the next evening. So I think that this past 122 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 3: week we were experiencing some of that where right now 123 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,159 Speaker 3: you have just a little fingernail, so there's just not 124 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 3: a lot difference. But before that, I think that there 125 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 3: was a little bit of that whole The moon's hanging 126 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 3: in the morning, so you're gonna see some stuff. But anyways, 127 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 3: that kind of all goes back to say, where I 128 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 3: didn't see a lot of activity out there, because I 129 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 3: think there's a lot of deer doing stuff at night 130 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 3: because yeah, they don't have a reason to get out 131 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 3: because it's no rut. There's no bucks cruising or doing anything. 132 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 3: And we didn't even see you know, I drove a 133 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 3: good portion of the state yesterday evening in dear time, 134 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 3: you know, and I didn't see any bucks on their feet. Yeah, 135 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 3: so things are still. The best is yet to come. Still, 136 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 3: that's encouraging. 137 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 5: You know. 138 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 3: You talk about this some, but like you get to 139 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 3: like November eighteenth or nineteenth, and you can feel real 140 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 3: depressed because it's like, oh, the thing has came and went. 141 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 3: But that's not the case. And we'll talk more about 142 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 3: that as the year progresses. And that's kind of what 143 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 3: rutfresh is about, is to give you the up to 144 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 3: today information as to what's going on in your neck 145 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 3: of the woods right now. So, Tyler, who do we 146 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 3: have today on refresh Man. 147 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 2: We've got the gamut, We've got people in all the 148 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 2: different corners of the US as much as possible. 149 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 3: At least. 150 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 2: We've got Chris Nickerson. He's up in Maine, which he 151 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 2: refers to as a place that's called South Canada. We 152 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 2: got Mike Hunsucker from Harlan bow Hunter. He's been hunting 153 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 2: in Missouri, had some success there, got some good a 154 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 2: good report for US, Tyler Jorden and Georgia out there 155 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:35,560 Speaker 2: in Georgia. And then Graham Cronin from Vortex. He is 156 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 2: a Wisconsin guy who is you know, a knowledgeable white 157 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 2: tail hunter in what potentially is the greatest white tail 158 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 2: state that there's ever been. 159 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, if you look at Boone Crockett right in that 160 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 3: wild yep, Buffalo County. It was a question on media 161 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 3: or trivia the other day and I got it wrong 162 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 3: because I just had the brain block thing. But it's 163 00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 3: like the top county for Boone Crockett in records. And 164 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,440 Speaker 3: it's like, I don't think of Wisconsin as in my 165 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 3: top five for white tail states, but it is.

Was it all in the same area or 368 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:07,440 Speaker 2: is he doing different things? 369 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:08,680 Speaker 5: Yeah? 370 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:12,280 Speaker 7: He was really tight to an area and really wasn't 371 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 7: moving much honestly at all in daylight. 372 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 5: I mean I knew exactly where he was betted. 373 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:21,880 Speaker 7: And had a couple of encounters with him. Previous one 374 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 7: had an in bow range after dark. Well it was 375 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 7: legal light, so I could illegally shot him, but I 376 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 7: didn't feel comfortable taking the shot twenty five yards even. 377 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 7: And then I had a couple other encounters with him, 378 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,480 Speaker 7: once where kyote spooked him and he got got away, 379 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 7: but he was in bow range, So I had him 380 00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 7: in bo range twice before I finally killed him. O man, 381 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:43,160 Speaker 7: And I did see him a third time off off 382 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:44,960 Speaker 7: in the distance, but all three times were within one 383 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:46,600 Speaker 7: hundred and fifty two hundred. 384 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:47,640 Speaker 4: Yards to circle radius. 385 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 3: Wow, what kind of vegetation is he betting in? 386 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,880 Speaker 7: He's actually bedded in. It's almost like kind of swamp 387 00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:59,920 Speaker 7: swampy type stuff. It's below a pond and big cottonwoods, 388 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 7: but then tons of native grass and really tall grasses, 389 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 7: so it's a it's a thick area. It's you know, 390 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:11,159 Speaker 7: sometimes deer like the bed up on ridgetops where they 391 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 7: have high visibility and they you know, utilize the wind 392 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,240 Speaker 7: in their favor. This buck was just holding up. 393 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 3: And he was smart, gotcha. 394 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 2: So it looked like to me in the video when 395 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 2: he came into the field, he kind of was doing 396 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 2: some frisky stuff. Was he feeling the right at all, 397 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:27,600 Speaker 2: you think, or was it just something different? 398 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:29,919 Speaker 7: I don't know. I mean that cold snap had him 399 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 7: all kind of feeling a little bit frisky. They little 400 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 7: bucks were sparring. 401 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:35,440 Speaker 4: This buck. He jumped a. 402 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 7: Fence and there was a couple of the deer in 403 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:40,639 Speaker 7: the plot, so he was approaching them. But I think 404 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,200 Speaker 7: more than anything, it was just his just his getting 405 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,200 Speaker 7: his big body over those logs and jumping the fence. 406 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:46,720 Speaker 7: You know, he had his momentum. 407 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 3: Going yeah, yeah, I did, man, that's cool. 408 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,440 Speaker 7: So I was anticipating him just you know, going to 409 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 7: slow down, stop start feeding, but he just kept on trotting, 410 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 7: so I'd actually stop him, which I you know, I 411 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 7: don't like to do unless you have to. 412 00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 2: You you got that soft grunt, stop down, man, you 413 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,760 Speaker 2: gotta yeah, you got to stop them with the softest 414 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 2: grunt you can get them with usually, because if you don't, 415 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 2: they're gonna get real tense, real quick, you know. 416 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,399 Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, I feel like that every situation is a 417 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 7: little different with that. You know that one worked with 418 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 7: the soft grunt. Last year, I had one of those 419 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:17,719 Speaker 7: crunching through leaves and you could have yelled at the 420 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,119 Speaker 7: begining to stop. So it's just you never you never know. 421 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,160 Speaker 2: Yep, yep, that's right man. Well, So in the next 422 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,960 Speaker 2: week or so, do you expect to still be able 423 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 2: to shoot deer on green food sources or are things 424 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:29,640 Speaker 2: going to change? 425 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:30,000 Speaker 3: You think? 426 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 5: Yeah? 427 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 4: I think so. 428 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 7: I mean I think if you have good green food 429 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:35,680 Speaker 7: sources and they're not and they're not like just locked 430 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:39,200 Speaker 7: in on some a orange dropping, I think that they're 431 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:43,399 Speaker 7: usually the key Clover, Nebraska's turn ups that type of stuff. 432 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 7: But it really just kind of depends.

They've been a little bit just 520 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 8: more reclusive. You know, there's just plenty of cover and food. 521 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:43,639 Speaker 8: I mean, I walked around today, you know, trying to 522 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:46,200 Speaker 8: pick up this bigger bug that I've been trying to 523 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,199 Speaker 8: hunt since really the beginning of the season.
