Welcome to the Wired to Hunt Podcast. I'm 4 00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 1: your host, Mark Kenyan, and this is episode number three 5 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:23,160 Speaker 1: seventy five, and today we're back for our latest rut 6 00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,040 Speaker 1: Fresh radio episode in which we are getting updates from 7 00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:29,040 Speaker 1: deer hunters across the country on the latest deer activity, 8 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 1: current conditions, and the tactics that are gonna work for 9 00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:42,040 Speaker 1: you right now. All right, welcome to the Wired Hunt Podcast, 10 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,240 Speaker 1: brought to you by on X. Today in my home 11 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:50,479 Speaker 1: state of Michigan is hunting season Eve. Spencer. That's the 12 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,599 Speaker 1: best night of the year as far as I'm concerned, 13 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 1: because the best time of the year starts tomorrow even better, 14 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 1: even better than like gun season Eve. Well, I'd say 15 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,200 Speaker 1: for me, yes, maybe there's other people that feel differently, 16 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,119 Speaker 1: but for me, this is when it all begins. Gun 17 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 1: season Eve actually is, at least for me, is kind 18 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 1: of a scary night because you know that so many 19 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 1: deer are gonna wiped out the next morning. Um, So 20 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:21,839 Speaker 1: today it's all hope. Today it's it's nothing but pure good, 21 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,560 Speaker 1: unadultered hope. For the season on November four, it's a 22 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 1: little bit more fear so. So yes, that's why I'm 23 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:33,119 Speaker 1: really excited about today, and because we got a new 24 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 1: episode of rut Fresh Radio, which is our mini series. 25 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,680 Speaker 1: Hopefully you guys know what that's about. But we're gonna 26 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 1: hear in just a couple of minutes from a handful 27 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 1: of hunters from across the country, and they're gonna give 28 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:45,480 Speaker 1: us a scoop on what they've been seeing over the 29 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 1: last week as far as dear activity, how different conditions 30 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 1: have impacted deer movement. And then what does this all 31 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 1: mean for the next week, What should we be expecting, 32 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: what are we predicting, what kinds of tactics should we 33 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 1: be employing over this fort week of October. That's gonna 34 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 1: be the plan for today, Spencer. Um, I just told 35 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 1: you I'm I'm just in that very very high excitement 36 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 1: world right now. I've spent the last two nights laying 37 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 1: in bed doing the staring at maps and weather forecast 38 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 1: back and forth, back and forth, and debating between different 39 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:23,519 Speaker 1: stands sites. Um, that's where I'm at. Where are you? Um? 40 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 1: I'm headed to Wyoming after we get done recording this podcast, 41 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 1: So I am similarly excited the differences. I'll be hunting 42 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 1: with a gun around like some broken sagebrush country and 43 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 1: big egg in the central part of the state. Um, 44 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:41,839 Speaker 1: so it'll look a little bit different than what you're 45 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: doing on your opener and what I'm doing on my opener. Um. 46 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 1: But like you said, we're gonna talk to different hunters 47 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 1: from across the country this week. But the first hunter 48 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: I want to hear from Mark is you. I want 49 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,919 Speaker 1: to know what you're gonna be doing for opener and 50 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 1: right now you sound really optimistic, and I think from 51 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 1: some recent social media posts you see optimistic. So I 52 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: want to hear about, like what your setup is going 53 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: to be for this October first hunt. Okay, so last week, 54 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 1: I think it was last week, we talked about my 55 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: generic you know, best practices or ideas for this late 56 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,919 Speaker 1: September early October time frame, right, um, and I mentioned 57 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 1: lots of times you want to take a swing for 58 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 1: the fences a little bit before the hunting pressure gets crazy, 59 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 1: if you've got the right conditions and you want to 60 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,359 Speaker 1: take that swing, you know, based off of the most 61 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 1: recent intelligence you have on what that top food sources 62 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: or where are these deer moving in daylight right now? 63 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:43,119 Speaker 1: That's like the generic standard approach for in October one 64 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: type hunt. UM. Well, I have a situation that I 65 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: think lines up really well with all that. UM. Number one. 66 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 1: I'm after one particular buck on a Michigan property I 67 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: can hunt, and this Michigan buck has been moving in daylight. 68 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: I saw him in daylight two days in a row 69 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 1: this week, UM, moving into place that I can hunt him. 70 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 1: That cold front that came through, UM for a lot 71 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: of people that hit I don't know, Sunday or Monday. 72 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: The night before the front, he was out in daylight, 73 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 1: and the night after the front he was in daylight 74 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 1: an hour earlier than any other time I've seen him. 75 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 1: So that got me very excited. Saw a lot of activity, 76 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,599 Speaker 1: a lot of bucks moving around. I saw several bucks 77 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 1: making scrapes. I saw several different bucks sparring. UM. So 78 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 1: when that cold weather moved through, it just got him 79 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,479 Speaker 1: out and about and and moving and excited. So that's 80 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: a good thing. So that all leads me to be, 81 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 1: you know, not overconfident, but at least optimistic that there's 82 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,279 Speaker 1: a chance at getting a shot at at the deer. 83 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 1: I've called tran um. There's two locations that I think 84 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: I could get a shot at him. Both of them 85 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:01,040 Speaker 1: are food related UM, and the both close. They're basically 86 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,799 Speaker 1: the same zone. It's just two entry points. UM. There's 87 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: one spot where a bean field and a corn field 88 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 1: come together right at the edge of the super great bedding. 89 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,600 Speaker 1: And this buck and a number of deer have been 90 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:21,919 Speaker 1: coming into this food source area UM, crossing into the 91 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,160 Speaker 1: bean field and heading north into that corn a lot 92 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: of days that I've been able to watch it. That's 93 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: what they've done. The problem is to hunt that spot 94 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,119 Speaker 1: with the wind we have, it's gonna blow right into 95 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 1: all the bedding. Are these deer coming from? And that 96 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 1: is the spot with the highly highest likelihood I think 97 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,599 Speaker 1: of these deer coming by just based off of a 98 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 1: lot of observations. I've spent a lot of nights glass 99 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 1: in this area and that's the number one spot. But 100 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 1: I just don't see any way I can hunt it 101 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 1: with this wind. I've I've thought, man, if it's due 102 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 1: west or a little southwest. In the past, I wouldn't 103 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:56,840 Speaker 1: have hunted it because it blows into part of the 104 00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:00,720 Speaker 1: betting area. But based off now year years of watching 105 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: how these bucks used this zone. They I think are 106 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,679 Speaker 1: a little bit south of there, so I could probably 107 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 1: cut the corner and get away with it. But any 108 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 1: north it's just gonna blow right into the best stuff 109 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,159 Speaker 1: there's I just don't think you can do it. So 110 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,040 Speaker 1: because of that, I think I have to hunt my 111 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 1: number two spots, which is I don't know, a hundred 112 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:24,919 Speaker 1: and fifty yards probably south of this on the exact 113 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 1: same line, still on the edge of this bedding, um, 114 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 1: but in this other spot where a lot of deer 115 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 1: have been coming out, just not as many times. Now. 116 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:41,600 Speaker 1: I did see Tran two times over the last twelve days. 117 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,360 Speaker 1: Two times of the last twelve days. Maybe he's come 118 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: out into that corn bean corner and then headed south 119 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 1: and went into this zone too. And last year on 120 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,720 Speaker 1: October one, he came into this spot and passed by 121 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 1: this exact location. So between historical data and you know, 122 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 1: two ops are vations over the last twelve fourteen days, 123 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 1: and there were nights that I couldn't watch it, so 124 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 1: he might have done that on the nights I wasn't there. Um. 125 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:08,799 Speaker 1: All that tells me that this is my second best 126 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 1: place to be, but it's best for wind, so it 127 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 1: is where there's an entry into this food source area 128 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: out of the bean field or sorry, out of the cover. 129 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 1: There's a little green food plot that these deer like 130 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: to hit first before they head to the big agg fields. 131 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 1: And there's this kind of dead zone where I can 132 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 1: have my wind blowing south of the bedding area and 133 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: not spook these deer. So at a high level, that's 134 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 1: what this area looks like. It's it's a place that 135 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 1: I hunt a lot early in the season, like every year. 136 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 1: It's a spot that I hunt once or twice in 137 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 1: the early part of the year and traditionally has given 138 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 1: me a lot of opportunities. This is a spot where 139 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 1: I passed a really nice buck last year. I passed 140 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 1: a hundred, I don't know, hundred thirty five inch type 141 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 1: nine pointer last year on my first hunt in that spot, 142 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: um which a lot of people thought it's crazy for doing, 143 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 1: because I really wanted to get a shot at tran 144 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 1: So you know, it's a spot of note can produce 145 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: at this time of your conditions look good. That cold 146 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 1: front came through earlier in the week. It kind of 147 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 1: stabilizes now and then dropping another ten degrees or so 148 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 1: give or take from the highest today to the highest tomorrow, 149 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 1: mixed with a rising barometric pressure. It's low pressure yesterday, 150 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 1: the day before, and then starting last night and over 151 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 1: the course of today, Tomorrow and Friday it's steadily rising, 152 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 1: with Friday probably being the highest pressure day. Um. As 153 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 1: we've talked in the past, a lot of people like 154 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 1: those high barometric pressure days. That's lining up here with 155 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,680 Speaker 1: cold temperatures about ten degrees lower than average for this 156 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 1: time of years that we have, we are about oh, 157 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 1: almost thirty degrees lower temperatures than we were just a 158 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 1: couple of days ago. So conditions are lining up, the 159 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:57,319 Speaker 1: sightings are lining up, the history is lining up. And 160 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:01,959 Speaker 1: all that's to say that, you know, I'm excited. If 161 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 1: nothing else, I'm excited. Yeah, and uh, you know, every 162 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 1: year on Red Fresh Radio and the last two years specifically, 163 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,439 Speaker 1: there's some cold front event that happens like between October 164 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 1: one in October fift and this is really anecdotal, like 165 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,080 Speaker 1: a lot of this stuff, UM, but we've talked about 166 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 1: and talked about this in the past. Mark, how a 167 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 1: whole bunch of mature bucks get killed on like that 168 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 1: first cold front of October. UM and that's why you're 169 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 1: optimistic right now. Now, what I think is like even 170 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 1: more relevant than like this specific cold front is if 171 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 1: you look at like the really extended forecast, um, Saturday 172 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 1: and Sunday are the coldest days for most of the 173 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 1: country that we're gonna have for like the next fifteen days, 174 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,440 Speaker 1: and so looking ahead like this is the cold front 175 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 1: mark um, the one that we talked about last year 176 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 1: and a bunch of bucks were killed, the ones that 177 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 1: we talked about in when a bunch of bucks were killed. 178 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 1: This is that one for money, because there's not going 179 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 1: to be like another big cold snap that happens um 180 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 1: during what a lot of hunters referred to as the 181 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 1: October lull um. So, like you said this, this is 182 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 1: probably for a lot of hunters the time to take 183 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:17,080 Speaker 1: that swing, because if you're waiting on cold weather to 184 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 1: get some deer on their feet, you're probably not gonna 185 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 1: get it for like the next you know, fifteen to 186 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 1: twenty days. Yeah, that's a really good point. I actually hadn't. 187 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 1: I've been so obsessed with looking at the weather for 188 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 1: Tomorrow and Friday that i haven't even looked way past 189 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 1: to like the eleventh, fourteen and you're right, this is it, 190 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,440 Speaker 1: and that's that's a huge point you just made, because 191 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 1: this is the time to take your crack and then 192 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 1: you know we're to wait till almost late October until 193 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,840 Speaker 1: something else might come. So yeah, if you if you're informed, 194 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:50,959 Speaker 1: if you have that you know, if you have any 195 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 1: of the kind of data I just listed like I 196 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 1: have in this situation, use it. Take a swing. Um, 197 00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 1: see what happens. You know, you never know all these things, 198 00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 1: like you said, Spencer, We've got some anecdotal we've got 199 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 1: some you know, I don't know. I don't want to 200 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,720 Speaker 1: get into the whole thing where we debate, uh what 201 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 1: hunters different factors. Yeah, but but man, there's a lot 202 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 1: of things lining up. So short, short answer to all 203 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,319 Speaker 1: this is if you can get out, get out, go 204 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 1: after him. We've got a decent chance over the next 205 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,959 Speaker 1: couple of days. One more thing I want to touch on, Mark, 206 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 1: and it's something that we talked about with our guests 207 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 1: this week. A little bit um is that today September 208 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 1: is a full moon. Now, hunters give a lot of 209 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 1: attention to the next full moon, the one that happens 210 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 1: at like the end of October, the beginning of November, 211 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:45,560 Speaker 1: but almost nobody talks about this specific full moon. UM. 212 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 1: So I want to know, Mark, is that anything that 213 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 1: you pay attention to, um, or that you put any 214 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:54,440 Speaker 1: stock into for the full moon that we have on 215 00:11:54,520 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 1: today sept I don't put too much stock into it personally. UM. 216 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 1: You know, there's there's some people who think that deer 217 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 1: don't move on a full moon because it's so bright 218 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 1: out they can just move in the middle of the night. UM. 219 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,319 Speaker 1: But then there's other people like the Druries who really 220 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 1: like the full moons, UM, who think that the light 221 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:15,559 Speaker 1: of the moon is your very best time of the 222 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 1: year to be hunting, that the dark of the moon 223 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 1: so middle of October is not very good. I just 224 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,440 Speaker 1: was listening to a little video that Mark and Terry 225 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 1: Dreury posted, and they were talking about how they think 226 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 1: that having the moon right now, lining up with this 227 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 1: cold weather and the beginning of the season is going 228 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,680 Speaker 1: to make this amazing. So you're gonna hear a load 229 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 1: of everything from people when it comes to the moon specifically. 230 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 1: But the juries have always pointed to when you've got 231 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 1: that moon that is rising early in the evening, so 232 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 1: if you're out there the last hour or two of 233 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,719 Speaker 1: daylight on an evening hunt and the moon's out already, 234 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,200 Speaker 1: that's a good thing. And then on the flip side, 235 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 1: if there's a moon that's setting late in the morning, 236 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:57,439 Speaker 1: so if you're out there it's the first hour of 237 00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 1: daylight or two and the moon's still out, that's going 238 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 1: to help a little bit. And that's the situation you've 239 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 1: got right now. We've forgot it late or sorry again, 240 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 1: early moon in these early, these evening hunts leading up 241 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 1: to today, and then it's going to be starting to 242 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 1: give you more moonlight in the morning, uh, starting tomorrow, 243 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 1: in the next couple of days. So I don't put 244 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 1: too much into it, but for whatever it's worth, Mark 245 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 1: and Terry are saying that the morning hunts might be 246 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 1: particularly good over the next couple of days because of that. Uh, 247 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 1: I'm keying and mostly on the temperature swing, and I'm 248 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:31,080 Speaker 1: getting out there and excited that. Yeah, the moon stuff 249 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 1: says it could be good. So sure, I'll take any 250 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:35,079 Speaker 1: extra luck I can take, but I'm not going to 251 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 1: count too much on that. I'm putting my eggs in 252 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 1: the cold front basket and that's what's given me most 253 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 1: of the confidence on top of my sightings. The cold 254 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 1: front is something we'll talk about with all of our guests, 255 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 1: and we'll also touch on the moon. Who we talked 256 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,679 Speaker 1: to you this week is Joe Call from Minnesota. Rack 257 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 1: Stars in Minnesota. Vince Bodiata in Tennessee, Nate Creek in 258 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,559 Speaker 1: Kansas from Identical Draw and they're from white Tail Experience 259 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 1: in Ohio. Is Byron Horn. Sounds good to me, Spencer. 260 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 1: Let's uh, let's tune in here. These guys have to 261 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 1: say and then get out hunting. All right, Good luck. Mark, 262 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 1: talked to you next week, Same to you, all right 263 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 1: in joining us on the line. Next is Joe Call 264 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 1: from Minnesota Rack Stars in Minnesota. Now Joe in Minnesota. 265 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 1: What would you say the buck activity is ben lately? 266 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 1: On a scale of one to ten, I would have 267 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 1: to give it about a six. Um. There's been a 268 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 1: lot of people have been in contact with that have 269 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 1: either known someone or themselves. They've put down some good 270 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 1: deer lately here. So let's say on a scale it's 271 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 1: probably right around of six your friends who have been successful. 272 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 1: What are those setups look like in late September in Minnesota? Personally, 273 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 1: I like the green food sources right now. Um, talk 274 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 1: to a guy last night'sot a nice mature eight pointer, 275 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 1: and he was actually on a bean field that actually 276 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 1: has turned brown already. So I mean, um, it's it's 277 00:14:55,120 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 1: field edges. Um, it's just inside the woodline, you know, 278 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 1: trying to catch them coming from their bed going out 279 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 1: to that food source. But you know, anything right now 280 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 1: that's green, whether it's alf alfa, clover, or even those 281 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 1: beans right now, it's just kind of the food sources 282 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 1: are in your area, and you know, continue to scout 283 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 1: and monitor your deer activity and then kind of go 284 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 1: off of that. But yeah, I would say focus on 285 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 1: you know, those beans and also you're clover and alfalfa. 286 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 1: Are there any natural food sources this time of year 287 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 1: that you focus on. You know, the acorns have really 288 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:32,160 Speaker 1: been dropping like crazy this year. Um, they actually started 289 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 1: dropping fairly early. So UM, I know I have a 290 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 1: tree rate in my yard that the deer have cleaned 291 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 1: up already. So I mean, yeah, kind of monitoring those 292 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,240 Speaker 1: those oaks and and see you know who's dropping, and 293 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 1: you know, kind of keying on those a little bit. Um. 294 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 1: You know, that's that's primarily you know the most um, 295 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 1: attractable food source in my area. Definitely is is those 296 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 1: acorns right now too? You mentioned that you're doing a 297 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 1: lot of field edge sets this time of year. Do 298 00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 1: you pay attention to things like scrap on those field 299 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 1: edges or that's not something that you really care about. Yeah, 300 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 1: so I know this past spring, I actually went in 301 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 1: and he limitated some possible looking branches in my woods 302 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 1: just to kind of speed up the process a little 303 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 1: bit for those bucks getting out to those field edges 304 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 1: and keeping those licking branches a little closer to the 305 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 1: field edge, you know, so they don't get hung up 306 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 1: deep in the woods. But the scrapes are actually starting 307 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 1: to open up right now. I've got a lot of 308 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 1: reports guys seeing some scrapes in the woods. So, um, 309 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,880 Speaker 1: I would definitely, you know, take that into consideration coming 310 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 1: up here with this cold front coming in and uh, 311 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 1: you know, try to get on one of those scrapes 312 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 1: inside the woods. Um, maybe not necessarily on those those 313 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 1: field edges, because those primarily are are are late night 314 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 1: screen uh spots. So I would out keep more in 315 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 1: the wood scrape lines. Where are you running your trail 316 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 1: cameras right now? Yeah, So I got a couple of 317 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 1: pinch points that I'm I'm running some cameras and then 318 00:16:56,640 --> 00:17:00,120 Speaker 1: you know, also those food sources. But you know, if 319 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 1: it's if it comes down to running a trail camera 320 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:06,400 Speaker 1: to try to harvest the mature deer, it's definitely those 321 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 1: pains points just inside the woods, probably a hundred yards 322 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,119 Speaker 1: or so. That's where I'm focusing right now. We have 323 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,360 Speaker 1: a cold front coming up for most of the country. 324 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:18,480 Speaker 1: Does that change anything for you in Minnesota? Get my 325 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,680 Speaker 1: button the woods to get everybody in the woods man. 326 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,640 Speaker 1: It's it's this, This is the front that that I've 327 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,640 Speaker 1: kind of been waiting for. Um. You know, it's kind 328 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:31,480 Speaker 1: of been you know, ideal temperatures, um, you know, throughout 329 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:34,639 Speaker 1: the hunting season so far. But right now is the 330 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,879 Speaker 1: time to get out. The temps are gonna drop, you know, 331 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:38,919 Speaker 1: twenty degrees here in the next two days, and the 332 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:42,200 Speaker 1: pressure is gonna be rising. Um. And that's perfect recipe 333 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 1: for harvesting mature gear right now. You touched on your 334 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 1: attention to scrapes, but do you care about rubs in 335 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,800 Speaker 1: the same way? Not necessarily yet. UM. To me, those 336 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,120 Speaker 1: rubs right now would have to be you know, those 337 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 1: bucks when they're kind of shedding their velvet. Um. You know, 338 00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 1: we'll see them out there rubbing out stuff off. Uh, 339 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,159 Speaker 1: you know, the scrapes the deer, every every buck that 340 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,400 Speaker 1: I've seen so far on stand you know, the little 341 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 1: guys that are coming out on the on the field, Um, 342 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,640 Speaker 1: they go find another buck in there. They're tickling antlers 343 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 1: with each other, so they're starting to try to find 344 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 1: that pack in order a little bit and testing out 345 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:16,920 Speaker 1: their strength to see where they're gonna be sitting. But 346 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 1: I would say, you know, um, you know, focus more 347 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:21,840 Speaker 1: on the scrapes and the rubs right now as we 348 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 1: get into what most hunters consider to be the law. 349 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:26,720 Speaker 1: Do you have any tips or tactics that used to 350 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 1: try to get a mature buck within these next couple 351 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,360 Speaker 1: of weeks. Yeah, I just you know, I would say, 352 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:34,240 Speaker 1: pay attention you know to the weather. Um. And then 353 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,359 Speaker 1: also you know, don't don't over hunt your property. You know, 354 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,919 Speaker 1: depending on your property size and how much time you 355 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:43,800 Speaker 1: have available to get out hunting. But for myself, I've 356 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:45,679 Speaker 1: been kind of staying out of the woods and and 357 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,680 Speaker 1: waiting for the right time. And then you know, every 358 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 1: deer is different. Um, you know, we We've had a 359 00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,920 Speaker 1: mature year that we've been watching, and normally this time 360 00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,359 Speaker 1: of year we're not hunting mornings. But what happens the 361 00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,040 Speaker 1: second day of archery. He comes in at said and 362 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 1: thirty in the morning. So, I mean, every deer is different, 363 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:04,760 Speaker 1: and you just gotta, you know, pay attention to what 364 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:06,240 Speaker 1: they're doing in your area and go off of that 365 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 1: going forward. Then in the next week or so, what 366 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:10,880 Speaker 1: do you think that buck activity is going to be 367 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 1: on a scale of one to ten in Minnesota? You know, 368 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 1: with this weather front coming in, I have to put 369 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,879 Speaker 1: it at least a nine. Um, I'm really looking forward 370 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 1: to to seeing some big bucks hit the ground, and 371 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,880 Speaker 1: uh yeah, it should be. It should be really interesting 372 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 1: and I'm looking forward to it. All right, Joe, good 373 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 1: luck to you and everyone else from Minnesota rack Stars, 374 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:33,399 Speaker 1: Thanks for joining me. Sounds good. Thanks Spencer, alright and 375 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:37,440 Speaker 1: joining us on the line. Next is Vince Bodiata from Tennessee. Now, 376 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,200 Speaker 1: Vince in Tennessee, what would you say the buck activities 377 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,159 Speaker 1: been Leley? On a scale of one to ten, I 378 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:47,440 Speaker 1: would say the buck activity has probably been around uh 379 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:51,959 Speaker 1: six and a half to seven, depending on where you are. Um, lately, 380 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:55,080 Speaker 1: we've we've started to see you know, the bachelor groups 381 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:58,159 Speaker 1: there's they're still kind of there together, but we have 382 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 1: started to see them start to split off a little 383 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 1: bit and starting to starting to start making some sign 384 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,560 Speaker 1: and stuff like that. But we've we've still been running 385 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,240 Speaker 1: into quite a few. So are you seeing any mature 386 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 1: bucks that are moving in daylight? Still? We have seen some, Um, 387 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,960 Speaker 1: I think there is a few that are really starting 388 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,200 Speaker 1: to move around to their their second home ranges. Um. 389 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,160 Speaker 1: But we do have a couple um that that are 390 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 1: moving in daylight. Um. But I think a lot of 391 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,440 Speaker 1: them they're just they're just starting to kind of move 392 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:29,359 Speaker 1: around a little bit and just kind of start to 393 00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,200 Speaker 1: get comfortable. A lot of the country has a cold 394 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,880 Speaker 1: front coming up here in these next couple of days 395 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,440 Speaker 1: that it's already started in the South, in the state 396 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,680 Speaker 1: like Tennessee. What are the impacts of a cold front 397 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 1: and what is like that degree difference that you're looking 398 00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,679 Speaker 1: for that would be different from someone who's maybe hunting 399 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:51,360 Speaker 1: in like Illinois or Michigan. Yeah, so, uh, definitely totally 400 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 1: different than than the North. It does not take much 401 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 1: to to get there moving on their feet here. This 402 00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,680 Speaker 1: far south. Um. Being someone that that grew up in 403 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 1: mission again, UM, you know you're looking for those really 404 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,200 Speaker 1: you know, really cold um temperatures to really drop to 405 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,719 Speaker 1: kind of get them up and moving. Um here, you know, 406 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 1: let's just say it was you know you've been running, 407 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 1: you know, and temperatures in the seventies. As soon as 408 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 1: it drops ten degrees, I mean they're gonna be they're 409 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 1: gonna be up and moving around. So, especially with the 410 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,880 Speaker 1: cooler temperatures that are coming up, um some getting down 411 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,520 Speaker 1: into the mid forties, we should have some pretty good movements. 412 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,120 Speaker 1: So as someone who haunts a lot of public land, 413 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,640 Speaker 1: where do you want your trail cameras as we get 414 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:35,640 Speaker 1: into early October? Uh, right now, I would probably say 415 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 1: I'm I'm probably most likely going to leave my trail 416 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:43,439 Speaker 1: cameras um on scrapes is probably where I'm gonna be 417 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 1: leaving them. I do have a couple that are on 418 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 1: some transition areas, um just from betting to food. Um. 419 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 1: But for the majority of the part through October, they'll 420 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,119 Speaker 1: they'll they'll be on scrapes for sure. So are you 421 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,880 Speaker 1: seeing some signmaking already in Tennessee? Yeah, not not a ton, 422 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 1: but we are starting to see you know, the community 423 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 1: scrapes starting to come up a little bit um but 424 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 1: not not not a whole lot, but it should within 425 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 1: the next couple of weeks, it'll probably start getting pretty heavy. 426 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:14,960 Speaker 1: What food sources are you focused on this time of year? Uh, 427 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 1: this time of year, I mean we're we're starting to 428 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,720 Speaker 1: look for you know, the acorns dropping, um, stuff like that, 429 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,920 Speaker 1: but just just regular brows, not nothing too crazy. There's 430 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:27,119 Speaker 1: still some standing crops and stuff around. Um, but really 431 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:32,680 Speaker 1: we're really just mainly focused on those transition areas mainly. Now. 432 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:36,680 Speaker 1: Tennessee has an early season that opens up around the 433 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,400 Speaker 1: end of August. I know you were hunting that season. 434 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:43,440 Speaker 1: How with patterns change since then until now, probably of 435 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 1: a difference has that month made? Uh, it's it's definitely 436 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 1: made a difference, I would say during that time and 437 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:52,440 Speaker 1: that that early part of the season. Um, if you've 438 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,200 Speaker 1: been watching them, they're they're they're dead nuts on their 439 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:59,119 Speaker 1: on their pattern um from then until now. Um, Like 440 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,200 Speaker 1: I said, they're starting to split off a little bit 441 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,919 Speaker 1: um still on some of the patterns, but it's a 442 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 1: it's definitely starting to change. You said you're seeing some 443 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 1: signmaking already. How much does deer sign factor into your 444 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 1: decision making as a public land hunter this time of year? 445 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,399 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's it's it's huge, um, you know, with 446 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,199 Speaker 1: with all the pressure and stuff that that you do 447 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 1: get on public land and you just never know what 448 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,639 Speaker 1: you are going to run into out there. Um, you know, 449 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 1: we we try to do our our best to just 450 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,399 Speaker 1: kind of hunt our way in and always looking for 451 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 1: just the most hottest, freshest sign that that we can find. 452 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 1: And as soon as we roll up on one with 453 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 1: just just hanging hunt on that, unless you got some 454 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 1: intel somewhere else, are you getting pretty close to beds? Uh? 455 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 1: We have a little bit. I probably will get a 456 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 1: little bit closer here as the month rolls on. Um, 457 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:52,960 Speaker 1: but we have started to move in. I would say 458 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,800 Speaker 1: no more than a hundred yards going forward. Then, in 459 00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 1: the next week or so, what do you think that 460 00:23:57,760 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 1: bucket TV is going to be on a scale of 461 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,560 Speaker 1: to ten in Tennessee? I would probably probably say about 462 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,440 Speaker 1: the same or maybe even just a It could even 463 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,240 Speaker 1: get up to an eight, just depending on the temperatures. 464 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 1: If it stays cooler like it's saying that's going to 465 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,400 Speaker 1: then we should have some pretty good buck movement, our adventable. 466 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 1: Good luck with your hunts. Thanks for joining me, buddy, 467 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,640 Speaker 1: Thank you alright and joining us on the line. Next 468 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 1: is Nate Crick in Kansas from identical draw now Nate 469 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:26,959 Speaker 1: in Kansas. What would you say the buck activity has 470 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,920 Speaker 1: been lately on the scale of one to ten, I 471 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,680 Speaker 1: would say the buck activity is probably in the five 472 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 1: to ten range. Um, I gave it a five to ten. 473 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:40,200 Speaker 1: I give it lower. But honestly, the last week we've 474 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,640 Speaker 1: had a little cold snap, so I think they've been 475 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,160 Speaker 1: on their feet a little bit more moving with that. Um, 476 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,720 Speaker 1: but yeah, five to ten for buck moving this last week. 477 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,359 Speaker 1: When we get a cold front this time of year, 478 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 1: what specifically do you notice that's different with dear movement. Um, 479 00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 1: as far as recently we've had with this last cold front, 480 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:02,399 Speaker 1: our cameras have been way more active. We have a 481 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 1: few cellular cameras on our property in Kansas, and UM, 482 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:08,920 Speaker 1: we've been getting a bunch of dove movement. The buck 483 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:12,760 Speaker 1: activity has been okay, but the dope movement has increased significantly, 484 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 1: And I know once they start moving then the bucks 485 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:19,359 Speaker 1: will soon follow. Um. Yeah, they've they've been moving a 486 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,000 Speaker 1: lot more. I say, this morning was probably the most 487 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 1: movement I've seen, and it's also the coolest morning I've 488 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 1: seen this season. Um With that, we've also seen movement 489 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,960 Speaker 1: in different areas. Um The cameras that we have in 490 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 1: the timber, we only have a few of them in there. 491 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:35,919 Speaker 1: We need to move a few more, but our cameras 492 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:39,159 Speaker 1: in the timber are definitely getting hit and activated more. 493 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 1: Um So, yeah, there's kind of a shift going on there. 494 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 1: A lot of haunters like to let their trail cameras 495 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,000 Speaker 1: soak for the next month or so. Where do you 496 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 1: like to have those trail cameras set from now until 497 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:53,119 Speaker 1: the rout? Yeah? Right now. Like I said, we have 498 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 1: ours on the food stores and it's still goods um 499 00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 1: our bean plot. We have a three acre being in 500 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 1: Braska plot and that's still get hit pretty heavily. But 501 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,439 Speaker 1: like I said, this, with these cold fronts and this 502 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,679 Speaker 1: next month, they're definitely going to be making more of 503 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:09,919 Speaker 1: a transition to the bedding and timber. So we had 504 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 1: a few different corridors um and ridgelines that we will 505 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:15,879 Speaker 1: be moving. Some of our cameras that are on the 506 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 1: bean in Braska, mix and clover plots will be moving 507 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 1: some of those into that thicker timber where um those 508 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,240 Speaker 1: bills and bucks will start to hanging out more. It 509 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,159 Speaker 1: sounds like the white tails in New area have a 510 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,760 Speaker 1: lot of choices for food. But what are they hitting 511 00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:32,720 Speaker 1: the hardest right now? Yeah, so, um, we've got a 512 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 1: lot of a lot of agon areas. They are corn 513 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:37,359 Speaker 1: in the beans, um. And last night when we were 514 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:41,480 Speaker 1: watching them, they were still hitting our bean field really hard. Um. 515 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:43,880 Speaker 1: We do have some ratshes and turnips in that area too, 516 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 1: and they were starting to hit that. But still the 517 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 1: beans were probably the number one UM thing they were 518 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:52,879 Speaker 1: feeding on. UM. Right now, the crops are majority of 519 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,080 Speaker 1: the crops are still in. They haven't been harvested yet, 520 00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:58,240 Speaker 1: so they're still um hitting both corner beans pretty good. 521 00:26:58,240 --> 00:26:59,879 Speaker 1: But last night when I saw the mix when they 522 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:04,320 Speaker 1: at Clover, they had peas um, the brassicas and then 523 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,120 Speaker 1: the beans in the area. They are still definitely focusing 524 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:11,240 Speaker 1: on the beans the most. Are you seeing any signmaking yet? Um? 525 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:15,360 Speaker 1: Very little. It's just starting up. UM. We've we've made 526 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,200 Speaker 1: a few mock scrapes. I think that's a great time 527 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:21,200 Speaker 1: to do the mock scrapes. And we also um planted 528 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:24,359 Speaker 1: a licking branch in our field, just basically cut a 529 00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,160 Speaker 1: cut a branch and buried in the ground, and that 530 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:29,520 Speaker 1: has been starting to get hit more and more these 531 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,199 Speaker 1: this next week or two. If there's cold fronts, I'm 532 00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,879 Speaker 1: gonna be sitting near that that looking branch because I 533 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,119 Speaker 1: know that the scrape action and the rub action is 534 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 1: about to get pretty good. We have a full moon 535 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,400 Speaker 1: coming up. Does that change anything as far as your 536 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 1: strategy goes? Personally, I'm I'm not a huge moon guy. Um, 537 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:48,840 Speaker 1: I know a lot of guys who have and die 538 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,240 Speaker 1: by it. And if if I'm hunting during it, then 539 00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:53,440 Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, thumbs up. If it helps, it helps. 540 00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:57,680 Speaker 1: But right now I am mainly focused on those cold 541 00:27:57,800 --> 00:27:59,720 Speaker 1: cold fronts whenever they drop. If if we have this 542 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,560 Speaker 1: difficant drop and weather, I'm going to be out there hunting, 543 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 1: especially if you have a little rain like we did 544 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:06,840 Speaker 1: this last cold front. I'm gonna get there either that 545 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:10,159 Speaker 1: evening if it clears up, or that next dry morning 546 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:13,280 Speaker 1: or evening sits So, yeah, the moon, it's great if 547 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:16,760 Speaker 1: it's full. That doesn't really change my strategy mainly a 548 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,760 Speaker 1: weather guy, but yeah, definitely cold temps and full moon 549 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:21,960 Speaker 1: should be good, Nate. I know you and your brother 550 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,879 Speaker 1: have had success killing big white tails in October. What 551 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,600 Speaker 1: do you think it is about this coming month that 552 00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:32,160 Speaker 1: works so well for you guys on your property in Kansas. 553 00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:35,439 Speaker 1: The thing that we have done is unless there's a 554 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,760 Speaker 1: good cold snap, which I'm talking at least fifteen twenty 555 00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:42,160 Speaker 1: degrees dropped UM in the high of the temperature and 556 00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 1: like good barometric pressure, we are only hunting those days. 557 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,560 Speaker 1: We are not going to be touching the property unless 558 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,880 Speaker 1: we have the significant cold cold front come through. UM. 559 00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,760 Speaker 1: And yeah, we've the way we've killed UM last year 560 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:58,680 Speaker 1: early October was UM, it's October three, I believe it is. 561 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 1: I mean the temperature drop about thirty degrees. We had 562 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:03,880 Speaker 1: rain comes through that night, UM, and that next evening 563 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:05,960 Speaker 1: we were sitting the field edge. U there's a bean 564 00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:09,280 Speaker 1: field and he was out there making fresh stegn UM. 565 00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:12,280 Speaker 1: I think I think cold fronts during either any time 566 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:15,640 Speaker 1: during October. I know there's sometimes that October Lowell people 567 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:17,720 Speaker 1: talk about, but I think if you get any cold 568 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:19,680 Speaker 1: snap during the month of October, I think you should 569 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 1: be looking at food sources if it's still UM applicable 570 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:26,040 Speaker 1: or timber scrape lines. That's where we've had our most 571 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,800 Speaker 1: success killing bucks over scrapes. And like I mentioned before, 572 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:31,520 Speaker 1: those licking branches, we've killed bucks in October over those 573 00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,440 Speaker 1: licking branches on food sources. They can be super deadly 574 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 1: during October going forward. Then, in the next week or so, 575 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:39,640 Speaker 1: what do you think that bucket activity is going to 576 00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,160 Speaker 1: be on a scale of one to ten in Kansas 577 00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,440 Speaker 1: looking at the weather and stuff. Um, I'm thinking it's 578 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 1: probably going to be the same, probably in that five 579 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:51,480 Speaker 1: to ten or six to ten on the buck movement. Um. 580 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 1: And I'm thinking I'm probably going to be staying off 581 00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:56,680 Speaker 1: that property and waiting to hunt until we get the 582 00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,120 Speaker 1: better cold snap during this next week. But hey, if 583 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,080 Speaker 1: you if you're in a property where you guys have 584 00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:03,719 Speaker 1: some nice cold weather and bucks on their feet, go 585 00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:05,600 Speaker 1: hit it. But right now, yeah, I'm saying probably five 586 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:07,800 Speaker 1: percent right now, but old road. All right, Nate, Well, 587 00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:09,600 Speaker 1: good luck to you and your brother. Looking forward to 588 00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:12,440 Speaker 1: seeing more videos from Identical Draw. Thanks for joining me 589 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,440 Speaker 1: alright and joining us on the line. Next is Byron 590 00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:20,160 Speaker 1: Horton from White Tail Experience in Ohio. Now, Byron in Ohio, 591 00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 1: what would you say the buck activities Ben Leley. On 592 00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:25,360 Speaker 1: a scale of one to ten, I would say it's 593 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,080 Speaker 1: a three. Um, just I'm based on the guys I 594 00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:30,160 Speaker 1: talked to him myself being out in the field a 595 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:34,600 Speaker 1: decent amount. Here, we had a very warm opener. Um. 596 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:36,880 Speaker 1: Today we do have a cold front moving through. But 597 00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,720 Speaker 1: I think, um, I think today's to day if you're 598 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,560 Speaker 1: gonna get it done. But but literally the past couple 599 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:44,640 Speaker 1: of days it's been hot. So you think the cold 600 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:49,240 Speaker 1: front is gonna change things in Ohio. Yeah, the front 601 00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:51,760 Speaker 1: that just pushed through had good winds, like kind of 602 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:54,000 Speaker 1: getting up their fifteen plus mile an hour, and so 603 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:57,920 Speaker 1: like our our oaks are now on the sound from 604 00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:00,720 Speaker 1: that front, and so that, like the ocock population on 605 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:03,479 Speaker 1: the grounds has jumped up tremendously in the last like 606 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,920 Speaker 1: forty eight hours. Um. But I think guys that that 607 00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,720 Speaker 1: were kind of on a book, Um, I think today's 608 00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:11,920 Speaker 1: the day they're going to kill them. Um. Otherwise, like 609 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,200 Speaker 1: the front, the rest of the week is is kind 610 00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:17,680 Speaker 1: of neutral. There's some some some tent drops, but nothing drastic, 611 00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:21,840 Speaker 1: nothing outside of a few degrees. But um, yesterday's today 612 00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 1: we kind of had that bigger ten degrees swing. Um, 613 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,080 Speaker 1: So so I think here, today's a day if if 614 00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:30,600 Speaker 1: you're gonna get it done. Besides oaks, what are the 615 00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:35,120 Speaker 1: food sources should hunters in Ohio focus on right now? So? Uh, 616 00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,800 Speaker 1: something noted in farm country from some of the scouting 617 00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,080 Speaker 1: I've been doing is, uh, the bean fields that are 618 00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:44,920 Speaker 1: smaller with like essentially more shade um still are green 619 00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:47,440 Speaker 1: or maybe those are being said planted late so you 620 00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:51,440 Speaker 1: still can find like green beans. I don't know if 621 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:53,120 Speaker 1: it's got something to do with the planting, but I 622 00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:56,560 Speaker 1: know of to too green bean fields that are dominant 623 00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:58,680 Speaker 1: green instead of the yellow, so I think those can 624 00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:02,080 Speaker 1: be hot. Andy did see a buck hitting beans that 625 00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:05,520 Speaker 1: were turning on. I think that was Sunday evening. UM, 626 00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:09,160 Speaker 1: So that's kind of a source in foreign country. UM. 627 00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:12,280 Speaker 1: As far as the oaks are concerned, from the scouting 628 00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:16,040 Speaker 1: I've seen UM with the white oaks are dropping and 629 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,560 Speaker 1: this isn't like a big year for oaks, so it's 630 00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:22,960 Speaker 1: it's a little concentrated patches UM. And definitely if you 631 00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 1: I feel like the deer a touch lower over the weekend. 632 00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:28,840 Speaker 1: They seem to be lower on the big hills UM, 633 00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:30,080 Speaker 1: and I think that's due to they can get to 634 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:33,320 Speaker 1: watering in oaks down there. As a public land hunter, 635 00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:36,400 Speaker 1: I know you're more aggressive than other guys. So are 636 00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:39,800 Speaker 1: you hunting mornings in late September and early October on 637 00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:43,080 Speaker 1: public land? So I actually did throw a sit this 638 00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:46,080 Speaker 1: morning after a buck um, but that was due to 639 00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:49,120 Speaker 1: trail cam data. He seemed to favor mornings actually, and 640 00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:51,719 Speaker 1: I'm not afraid to hunt mornings by by any means 641 00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,480 Speaker 1: early in the season. But I think the most important 642 00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:57,400 Speaker 1: thing to be doing now is scouting, even if you're 643 00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:01,480 Speaker 1: not hunting mornings. UM. Scouting is so critical this time 644 00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:04,960 Speaker 1: of year because the buck sign is just super concentrated, 645 00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,720 Speaker 1: and so if you don't know what's going on, you've 646 00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:10,320 Speaker 1: got to go find it um and potentially relocate the 647 00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:13,800 Speaker 1: books that you found in the summer. When you say scouting, 648 00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:17,200 Speaker 1: right now, besides rubs and scrapes, what are you looking 649 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,760 Speaker 1: for on public land? So I would be looking. Uh, 650 00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:22,840 Speaker 1: as far as public land, I'm still kind of noting 651 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:26,880 Speaker 1: maybe trucks and parking lots. UM tracks are another area 652 00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,040 Speaker 1: um that they you know, you can pick up a 653 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:32,200 Speaker 1: big track. We just had a rainstorm come through, so 654 00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:35,560 Speaker 1: so you know, those mud tracks could be fresher than 655 00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:39,560 Speaker 1: than say, you know, in the prior weeks, Um, rubs 656 00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:41,920 Speaker 1: are are super concentrated. So that's kind of what I'm 657 00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:44,320 Speaker 1: looking for right now. That's I've seen a couple of 658 00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:48,960 Speaker 1: scrapes open up, but nothing tornched as as far as 659 00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:52,160 Speaker 1: scrapes are concerned. So I'm looking for clusters of rubs, 660 00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:55,640 Speaker 1: those better rubs, and trying to maybe locate a Buck's 661 00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:59,080 Speaker 1: core betting area this time of year going forward. Then 662 00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:00,920 Speaker 1: in the six week you're so, what do you think 663 00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:02,960 Speaker 1: that buck activity is going to be on a scale 664 00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,840 Speaker 1: of one to ten in Ohio?
