Speaker 1: of our radio episodes in which we're getting real time

Speaker 1: from the field updates on what's happening across the woods

8
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 1: as far as deer activity, dear behavior, and the tactics

9
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:48,640

Speaker 1: end is Mark Kenyon, now returned home from North Dakota,

13
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 1: but having some technical difficulties. What's going on, Mark? Yeah, Uh,

14
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: I forgot my podcast Mike in Montana in my truck.

15
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 1: I flew home from Montana because I'm only home for

16
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 1: a week and I'm flying back out for ELK Hunt.

17
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: So I've got an old podcast Mike at home that

18
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: I thought would work, but it is not working right now.

19
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,199
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm calling this from my cell phone. So

20
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: thanks for for dealing with that and in running the

21
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: show today, Spencer. But another radio right, Um, what do

22
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: we have in store for this week's episode? We have

23
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: four hunters from across the nation. We start off with

24
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: Lee Ellis from Seek One Productions in Georgia. Then we

25
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: talked to Mark Knight in Kansas from Midwest White Tail Adventures.

26
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: And then we go to Maryland and from Sons of Fall.

27
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: We talked to Paul Lauber, and then we have Trent

28
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: Siegel from Heartland bow Hunter in Wyoming. Sounds like a

29
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: good slate. Um, do we have a South Dakota update? Uh? My,

30
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: my South Dakota update? It is is that it has

31
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: been really poor for me. Um. The hope of getting

32
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 1: a velvet buck is gone. Most of my deer now

33
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 1: are polished, including Dan, the deer that I was after. UM.

34
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: And I haunted like I think it was six or

35
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 1: seven out of those first ten days. And it was

36
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: honestly probably the worst string of haunts I've ever put together.

37
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: It was really poor, really poor. UM. Not a lot

38
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: of deer movement for me, a lot of mosquitoes, UM.

39
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: And the problem was that I was focusing on haunting

40
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: like the obvious food sources like soybeans, but the deer,

41
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 1: we're not having any of it. I was experiencing like

42
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: what most people consider the law UH in early September,

43
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: and normally I don't even see the law that much

44
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: come October, and so I think for the the area

45
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: that I'm at, it got pushed up to to this early. UM.

46
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: And there's just so much other food sources available. You

47
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: take a walk in the woods and you find that

48
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: there are uh, there's tons of reg weeed available, that

49
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 1: the beggar's lice, the wild plums are available, apples are falling.

50
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:18,119
Speaker 1: UH is something that's hugely underrated as mushrooms. And we've

51
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: had some cooler, rainier weather and so there are all

52
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: kinds of different edible mushrooms available. UM. And so did

53
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: you just have no use for soybeans? And my time

54
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 1: spent watching those soybean fields has not gone well, Yeah,

55
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: that's disappointing. So South Dakota not real hot right now. UM.

56
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: Any kind of general consensus from folks who've talked to

57
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: so far as as as far as what kind of

58
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: stuff we're seeing across the rest of the country has

59
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: been good, bad, anything high level you can tell me.

60
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: Across the runch rest of the country, it has been

61
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: pretty solid um. You know from the people I talked

62
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: to you this week, you can still catch them those

63
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: year at the end of their summer patterns. Um Uh.

64
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: As far as buck movements, they're starting to break up

65
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: in those batch the group those are just about gone.

66
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: And then the deer getting polished handlers as well, And

67
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: so there's a lot of thoughts that the movement is

68
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 1: starting gonna become a little bit more nocturnal uh as

69
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 1: more seasons open up. As far as there's some firearms

70
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 1: seasons across the nation that are opening, um, some different

71
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: anner list seasons that are opening. And so with that

72
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: increased deer pressure and the loss of those summer patterns, um,

73
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: it sounds like right now is the time in September

74
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: to get a buck on the ground. Otherwise you know

75
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: it'll be a steady decrease until we get to October. Interesting, Well,

76
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: I can I can report from North Dakota a little

77
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: bit for you if if you want that. We were

78
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: out there at the end of last week. You know,

79
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: since I failed my Montana tag and as far as activity,

80
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: i'd give it probably like a a four out of ten.

81
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: Probably it's pretty poor. Um. I don't want to give

82
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: away too much because I'm gonna talk about this on

83
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: the main show Dan this week. But UM had a

84
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 1: pretty tough go at. It didn't see a whole lot

85
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: of activity. UM. We had one night we went to

86
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: a new area and found some deer that were feeding

87
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: on what looked like, um, a cover crop that's been

88
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: planted in a field. UM that maybe could be something

89
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: like turn ups, some kind of brassica. It sort of

90
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: looked like coming out of the ground. UM. That was

91
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: the one thing we were able to key in on

92
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 1: for one hunt where there was some some good daily activity.

93
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 1: Otherwise slim pickings, hot weather, not a lot of movement.

94
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: So now I'm now I'm back in Michigan for a

95
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: little bit, looking forward to October one for my next

96
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: white tail hunt and hopefully better conditions. Then. Yeah, And

97
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 1: I don't think what I've been seeing in South Dakota's uh,

98
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: indicative of what's going on in the rest of the

99
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 1: state or the rest of the nation for that matter.

100
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: It's just that how my property set up. It is

101
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 1: either very safe haunts on the field that just looking

102
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: at so soybeans, or it's really aggressive haunts. UM, the

103
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,039
Speaker 1: kind of stands that I you know, wouldn't be in

104
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 1: until we get to the end of October. And so

105
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: I just, um don't have very many good options for

106
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: this time of year when there's so much other food available.

107
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: And one good, uh glimpse that I got into that is,

108
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,359
Speaker 1: for one of my setups, there are two trails that

109
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 1: come by. One is it like twenty three yards and

110
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 1: the other ones at like thirty one. And to keep

111
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: those deer at the twenty three yard trail, I cut

112
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 1: off a large branch from the tree that I'm in.

113
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: I believe it's an ash tree, and I covered up

114
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 1: that trail um and some doze and her fonds came

115
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 1: by the other night and they actually stood there eating

116
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 1: on the leaves from that tree. And so it's just

117
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: a a you know, a good glimpse of all the

118
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: different food available to these deer that they don't even

119
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: need to make it to the soybeans that are a

120
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 1: hundred yards away. They could just stay in there and

121
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:07,479
Speaker 1: eat all this other green stuff available. Yep, that's uh,

122
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: that could be a challenge when they're not keenan and

123
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: the thing that you're keen and us I hear you're there, Well,

124
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 1: I I'm interested to hear what you got today. It

125
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: sounds like we've got a good diverse group of folks. Um.

126
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: I know there's a lot of people that are kicking

127
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: off their seasons here soon. There are a lot of

128
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: September fifteen openers coming up, I think, so I'm sure

129
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: people will be curious to hear what's happening in the

130
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: woods now and what to look forward to the next week.

131
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: So i'd say, Spencer, I'm good to go, unless you've

132
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: got any other updates you need to share before we

133
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: get this thing Kickstarter. Nope, you figure out your mic

134
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: before the next episode and we'll talk to you next week.

135
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: Mark sounds good, Thanks Spencer. Before we get to our

136
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: first update, let's pause for a word from our sponsors

137
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: at white Tail Properties. This week, with white Tail Properties,

138
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: we are joined by Brad Ferris, a land specialist out

139
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: of Central Missrs Sippy the Bread is going to be

140
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: telling us about some Midwest hunting techniques that don't apply

141
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:11,239
Speaker 1: to Southern white tails. The biggest difference in in hunting

142
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: white tails in the South first as the Midwest to

143
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: me is it has to do more with climate and anything.

144
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 1: You still want to be very respectful of the deer

145
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: where they your sanctuary areas, you're quiet areas. I mean,

146
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I treat that exactly the same. In the South.

147
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 1: It is usually not as hilly in most places, so

148
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: there's not as many natural pinch points as you find

149
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 1: and kind of the rolling hills of the of the

150
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 1: Midwest have found, and the deer, typically the mature deer

151
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 1: don't move. They're not on their feet as much in

152
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: the South until the rug gets here. I mean, I

153
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 1: know that's common in the in the Midwest too, but

154
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,839
Speaker 1: the many times you won't see a deer in the

155
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 1: daylight and tool you know about four or five rough

156
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: pier and then once that's going, they're they're done. You

157
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: don't see him a d M. So the one thing

158
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 1: we don't have here that Midwest two hunters have is

159
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 1: we don't have the bitter cold temperatures that we can

160
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 1: really get deer on their feet in a food plot scenario,

161
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: whether it be standing corn, standing beans, some type of

162
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 1: crop that we put out there to leave for the

163
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: deer in the in the frigid temperatures and they only

164
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: feed early because it's cold. We don't we don't have

165
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 1: that here. You do not have that opportunity in many

166
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 1: places they have brows you're around in the South because

167
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 1: we just don't get that little temperatures cold stuff, So

168
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 1: a lot of techniques for the same. You just have

169
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: to adjust your thought process because deer do not move

170
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: as much, so you've got to really focus on trying

171
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 1: to get close to them in those type spaces without

172
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: spoken them, because that's that they hackle move off from

173
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: them hardly ever in the South. If you'd like to

Speaker 1: enjoining us online. First is Lee Ellis of Seek one

178
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: Productions in Georgia. Elee in Georgia. What would you say

179
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: the buck activity is been lately on a scale of

180
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:14,559
Speaker 1: one to ten UM, I'd probably say it's it's probably

181
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 1: been like a seven. Um. It's been pretty good, but

182
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: it's also been really hot, and I think it's caused

183
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: a lot of these deer to kind of lay up

184
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: during the day and use more night time. But um,

185
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: if you can get close enough to their bedroom, Um,

186
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 1: these deer are still in their summer areas. Um, so

187
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: it's still been pretty good. There's still been We've been

188
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: seeing plenty of bucks. Um, there's been some guys around

189
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 1: us that have had some success to Lee, give us

190
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: a little bit of a background on what your setups

191
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 1: look like right now, and I tell the audience, Uh,

192
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: you know the kind of environment that you guys hunt in. Yeah. So,

193
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: our we're based out of Atlanta. Our environment is constantly changing.

194
00:10:56,160 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's um tighter areas of neighborhoods. Sometimes it's you know,

195
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:04,719
Speaker 1: we've got spots acres. But we're constantly looking for these

196
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 1: summering areas where these bucks like to spend their summertime

197
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,680
Speaker 1: growing out their antlers. And it absolutely has to revolve

198
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: around their food source. Um. We like to look for

199
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 1: areas that have a lot of kud zoo and that's

200
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 1: a m just a really it's similar lab lab. It's

201
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: a really viny and it just vinny plant and it

202
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: grows into a jungle and it's just got these really

203
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: really big leaves that are high in protein. So these

204
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: deer came get in these areas with kud zoo and disappear.

205
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 1: It's just really really thick cover and they can get

206
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: up and have an absolute buffet in front of them

207
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 1: all day. Um, so we try and key it on

208
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: areas like that, Uh, where there's cuds do around that

209
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: always seems to hold bachelor versus bucks this time of year.

210
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 1: So um, success finding that cud zoo is that like

211
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 1: something right out of someone's backyard A weorre they and

212
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 1: kind of yeah, I mean industrial areas along roadways, you'd

213
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:11,959
Speaker 1: be very very surprised, uh, just driving down the roads

214
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: and whatnot where you see big patches of cud do

215
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: because it's used for erosion and along roadways and stuff

216
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: like that, but it grows so fast that it ventures

217
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: on back into the woods and sometimes right off these

218
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 1: roads there will be these massive cud doo patches and

219
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: people drive by them don't even think twice about them.

220
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,959
Speaker 1: But usually more often times than not, there there's a

221
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 1: batchel of group that will grow out and a good

222
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: cud doo patch in the summer. So really, I mean,

223
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: we we do a lot of work on you know,

224
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,679
Speaker 1: Google maps and whatnot, but a lot of times it's

225
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: just kind of pounding the pavement and actually laying eyes

226
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 1: on where the cuts is growing. Now, how are you

227
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 1: finding these dear early season. Are you scouting in person

228
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,959
Speaker 1: out there glassing small properties? Are you just running a

229
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: lot of trail cameras? We do a mixed at of everything.

230
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:04,199
Speaker 1: We're we'll glass these uh cud do patches and it's

231
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: I mean it's like clockwork. In the evenings when they're

232
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: growing out, they'll hop up thirty minutes before dark and

233
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 1: get up and get feed. And so we do a

234
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 1: lot of glassing around different cuds do patches. You can

235
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: get a pretty good idea of, um, you know, what's

236
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:22,679
Speaker 1: in the area doing that. But we also run at

237
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 1: any given time probably forty cams. UM. So we're just

238
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: keeping as many eyes out there as we can. And

239
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: when we get into an area where we've identified a

240
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: buck that we want to go after, instead of having

241
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: our forty or fifty cameras kind of spread all throughout,

242
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 1: once we find a deer that we want to hunt,

243
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 1: kind of full you know, seven or eight of those

244
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,680
Speaker 1: cameras and concentrate him in that area and really try

245
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: and kind of lock down exactly where that year is

246
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: spending most of his time, where he's most comfortable. UM.

247
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: So it's it's a lot of trail camera work and

248
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: I think identify. Suying a buck's bedroom this time of

249
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:09,599
Speaker 1: year is super super key because there they're pretty predictable,

250
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 1: still in this phase where they're still in their summer areas.

251
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 1: They're still getting up and feeding. Um I think you know,

252
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 1: in the next week or so they're gonna begin to

253
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: kind of branch out of those areas. Um So this time,

254
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: you know, the next week or so, we actually have

255
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: to go rEFInd a lot of our year because they've

256
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: left their summering areas. So it's kind of that that

257
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: first weekend, first week where those bucks are still in

258
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: that area. But you know, sometimes we'll actually, you know,

259
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: we'll have a bunch of cameras in one area looking

260
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 1: for a certain buck, and he'll be showing up on

261
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: all of them, but he'll be showing up, you know,

262
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 1: closer to daylight on this camera, and we'll kind of

263
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 1: use clues and things like that to figure out which

264
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 1: direction he's coming from and really locked down his bedroom area.

265
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 1: And sometimes you can miss it as little as a

266
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 1: hundred yards, and that means that can be the difference

267
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: of seeing that buck on the hoof and daylight or

268
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 1: have him come in you know, fifteen twenty minutes after

269
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 1: shooting light. Sometimes it's that small the change that makes

270
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: all the difference. I know you said that you'll be

271
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 1: changing your strategy here in about a week or so. Um.

272
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: Is that because the cud zoo is no longer relevant

273
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 1: or is that something that you'll focus on all season long. No,

274
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 1: So they leave the cuds do here. Um basically the

275
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 1: first week they'll leave it. They'll come back to it

276
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: on occasion, but they really start switching to um, you know,

277
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: your acorns and things like that as they start to fall. Uh. Plus,

278
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 1: I just think they get really anty and they're you know,

279
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 1: dropping their velvet. Their hormones are starting to get going,

280
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 1: their testoscerones starting to pump, and they just I feel

281
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 1: like they just have to move around. They're starting to

282
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 1: venture more, um, kind of checking out the areas that

283
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: they may go on the rut and things like that. Um.

284
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 1: But they'll sometimes they'll completely abandon these summer areas and

285
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: will not come back until late late in the year.

286
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 1: So UM, we used their summering areas as a clue.

287
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: But kind of in the next week when they started

288
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 1: to leave, we got to go back into the phase

289
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 1: of of getting as many areas as we can to

290
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 1: put cameras out and kind of refine where the deer

291
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: went going forward. Then this next week or so, what

292
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 1: do you think that buck activity is going to be

293
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 1: on a skille of one to ten in Georgia. I

294
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 1: think that it's probably gonna drop. I think that people

295
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: will probably get more tryl camera pictures of new deer

296
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: and things like that. I don't think it's gonna be

297
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 1: a ton of daytime activity. Um So I expect your

298
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 1: your daytime activity of Bucks to drop, but I also

299
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 1: expect um for people to probably getting more pictures of

300
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 1: new bucks that are kind of leaving their summer areas

301
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 1: and venturing in the new places. It's kind of a

302
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 1: a double edged deal there where. Uh. I think it's

303
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 1: gonna be tougher in the next week two get a

304
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 1: get a mature buck in daylight. But at the same time,

305
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 1: I think that people are gonna be seeing new deer

306
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 1: that they can kind of begin to figure out and

307
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 1: put the pieces together on we guys can follow along

308
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,879

Speaker 1: thanks man alright and joining us on the line next

312
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 1: is Mark Knight in Kansas from Midwest White Tail Adventures.

313
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,360
Speaker 1: Mark on the skill of one to ten. What would

314
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:34,120
Speaker 1: you say the buck activity has been lately? I think

315
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: this week for our youth season here in Kansas is

316
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: probably we'll give the six out of a ten. Um.

317
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 1: I think, you know, so you've got a few things

318
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 1: working against us. Uh. Early last week, you know, dear,

319
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 1: we're all in velvet, very very patable season starting on Saturday. Uh.

320
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,399
Speaker 1: You know, some food sources were changing a little bit.

321
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 1: The beans and the crops looked really good. Um. I

322
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: think you know this time of year, you dear, start

323
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 1: separating and they start, you know, kind of out who's

324
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: who's who, and and it gets a little tougher. And

325
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 1: I think that's kind of what happened to us since

326
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,919
Speaker 1: this past week. And how is this season compared to

327
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 1: seasons past when it comes to having successful youth hunters.

328
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: Last year we had um ten uth hunters. We went

329
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:20,640
Speaker 1: eight for ten, killed two over one seventy men also

330
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,400
Speaker 1: killed one. It's like one sixty five. This year our

331
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 1: best there is and this you know this a week later,

332
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,959
Speaker 1: this year, So you know that I changed things for us.

333
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 1: I didn't really realize how how it was gonna be

334
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 1: being a week later, but you know it definitely we

335
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,639
Speaker 1: had to make some adjustments and to to get on

336
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 1: the deer like, you know, like we did last year.

337
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 1: It is September eleventh as we are recording this, and

338
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 1: and what percentage of bucks would you say still have velvet.

339
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,119
Speaker 1: There's some smaller ones that still got it, but the

340
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 1: big mature ones are definitely. Um what we're seeing on

341
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 1: cameras now that they've all they've all shed their their

342
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 1: figure hard hearted now I know in that part of

343
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 1: the country. Uh, the rain has been kind of spotty

344
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 1: this summer in this fall. How it has been for

345
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: you guys, and has that affected the food sources at all?

346
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 1: Early season, you know, early in the year, um cancels

347
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: in a in a pretty good drought. But we started

348
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 1: getting the rain. We started getting the rain and everything

349
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:23,679
Speaker 1: got really good. Um past couple well past couple of months.

350
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 1: We've definitely got them, you know, the rains that we needed.

351
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 1: The second crop beans are just about as good as

352
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 1: the first crops. So everything's looking good. I mean, our

353
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 1: our food plots were we're getting ready to put those

354
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,199
Speaker 1: in now. We we got last week. We intended on

355
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 1: putting them in, but we got about nine inches of

356
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 1: rain there in our location in about a twenty four

357
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 1: hour period, so it kind of stops us on that.

358
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: Do you guys do any morning set ups then with

359
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:55,399
Speaker 1: those use hunters or these all evening setups? About through

360
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: all evening setups, That's what we plan on doing every year.

361
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 1: But sometimes if we can and find you want to

362
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 1: check the cameras, we find something we can get in

363
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 1: behind you know, those bean fields and slip into a

364
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 1: bed area, we will. This morning we did the same thing.

365
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 1: Took a guy from Pennsylvania in um get him in

366
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: real early in a bed area bix c RP field

367
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 1: off fourteen bucks came by him and he shot one.

368
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,199
Speaker 1: It was scored a hundred forty five. So it's a

369
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 1: pretty good move for us to make it happen for

370
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 1: the guy. Well, how we'll set up change for you

371
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: guys as we get into mid September. The end of September,

372
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 1: you mentioned that it's going to get tough for hunting,

373
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 1: So how will you guys adjust then? Well, I think

374
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 1: our our muslis season is going to start on Monday.

375
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 1: I think that, you know, the deer will definitely start

376
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 1: coming back to the feeders. Alex. It's very unusual this

377
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:44,919
Speaker 1: week for the you know kind of what happened. But

378
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 1: they'll get back on those feeders and uh foods, horses

379
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 1: will start changing beings to start turning yellow. So then

380
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,880
Speaker 1: we'll shift to the milos because those deer the milos

381
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:57,159
Speaker 1: getting real red and and and when it turns like

382
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 1: that right there, those big bucks a goose milo fields,

383
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:01,680
Speaker 1: we just kind of shift. We've been doing it so long,

384
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:05,119
Speaker 1: we kind of kind of know what we're doing going forward.

385
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:06,919
Speaker 1: Then in the next week or so, what do you

386
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 1: think that buck activity will look like on the skill

387
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 1: of one to ten in Kansas. One attend in Kansas,

388
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 1: if you're in the right location and you've got a

389
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,640
Speaker 1: little bit of luck on your side, you could kill

390
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,879
Speaker 1: a giant. It could be an eight. Yeah, I think that. Uh,

391
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,120
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna you're gonna see some really big

392
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,439
Speaker 1: deer get killed out there, because you know it's you know,

393
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 1: September with a Muslin or anytime you're in Kansas, you

394
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 1: stend an opportunity to kill a giant. I mean years

395
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: past time we've we've harveshed some over two inches. Because

396
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 1: you know, like I tell people that try to buckle me, like,

397
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:41,440
Speaker 1: you know, what's it gonna be like, you know, afternoon

398
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,680
Speaker 1: hunts are gonna be good. They're gonna be uh if

399
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 1: it's cool, if you get a little bit of a a

400
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 1: cool snap, it could be you know, you could start

401
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 1: seeing deer two hours for before dark. But if it

402
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 1: warms up, um, you know, it could be a little tougher.

403
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: It could be you know, right toward the end of

404
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 1: the hunt. But as I look at the weather before,

405
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,640
Speaker 1: you know, forecast for the next couple of weeks, it's

406
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 1: gonna be warm. This week, there's gonna get down in

407
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:08,679
Speaker 1: the you know, seventy two for the highs fifty eight

408
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:12,919
Speaker 1: fifty nine, which they're gonna be good. So you know,

409
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 1: we'll we'll uh definitely hunter set up ton afternoon, but

410
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 1: we'll kind of venture some of these bed and areas

411
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,400
Speaker 1: and set up and try to see what's coming back

412
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 1: to bed. But you know, keep the deer out of

413
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 1: the field a little bit longer in the mornings so

414
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 1: you can you do have an opportunity to to harvest

415
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 1: one in the morning. Art Mark will well done on

416
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,400
Speaker 1: getting those youth hunters some great deer and good luck

417
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 1: the rest of the season. Thanks for joining me, alright,

418
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:39,119
Speaker 1: thank you, sir alright in joining us on the line.

419
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 1: Next from Maryland is Paul Laver from Sons of Fall TV. Now,

420
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 1: Paul in Maryland, what would you say the bucket activity

421
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:48,680
Speaker 1: has been lately on a scale of one to ten,

422
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: I'd say on a scale of one to ten, it's

423
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 1: been on the high side and eight to a nine.

424
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: And the Maryland season opened on September seven, so we're

425
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 1: five days into this season, and there's some Facebook feeds

426
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:07,400
Speaker 1: that the Maryland hunters upload their their photos too, and

427
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 1: it's it's been pretty amazing the number of giant bucks

428
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:12,959
Speaker 1: that have been killed the first five days of the season,

429
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 1: mainly due to the cold, cold or temperatures. Saturday, Sunday

430
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 1: Monday we had temperatures in the in the sixties during

431
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 1: the day and high fifties at night, which is completely

432
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: unseasonable for this area. But in the last couple of

433
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,160
Speaker 1: days yesterday and today, it's back up in the eighties again,

434
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 1: so I expect buck movement to kind of slow down again.

435
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 1: Regarding whether there is the hurricane that is currently threatening

436
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 1: the coast. How do you think that's going to change,

437
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 1: dear movement? Uh, you know, we're we're expecting a pretty

438
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 1: large storm surge in the Maryland area, especially the Chesteake

439
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 1: Bay and tributary regions. Fact today I just pulled my

440
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: boat off the lift, and you know, expecting a big

441
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 1: storm surge. So I think it's going to keep a

442
00:23:57,560 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 1: lot of hunters out of the woods, which is going

443
00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: to keep the sidings down. And uh, you know, it's

444
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:04,920
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of wind, a lot of rain.

445
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 1: So I expect movement to be pretty pretty slow this week.

446
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 1: Do you notice any trends before or after a large

447
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 1: storm like that as far as buck moment goes, Uh,

448
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:17,640
Speaker 1: you know, as always, you know when the wind where

449
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 1: when the wind and rain not really so much of

450
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: the wind, but when the rain stops, you know you're

451
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 1: going to see a surplus of deer out soybean fields

452
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 1: and we're actually some some fields of corn are already

453
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 1: starting to be uh harvested. So I think you're going

454
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:33,120
Speaker 1: to see a lot of deer out in these corn

455
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: fields that have been harvested in the in the coming

456
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 1: week or two. Tell me a little bit more about

457
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 1: the food sources in that area. Uh, does a large

458
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,159
Speaker 1: agriculture kind of dominate for deer movement or is there

459
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 1: some large Yeah, and you know, list in my area

460
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:49,879
Speaker 1: that I focus in is the eastern shore of Maryland.

461
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,639
Speaker 1: There's a there's some big bucks being shot down in

462
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 1: southern Maryland. That's where a lot of these bigger bucks

463
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,199
Speaker 1: that were reported in the first couple of days. But

464
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:02,159
Speaker 1: the Eastern Shorts, you know, it truly just soybeans and corn.

465
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 1: That that is the bulk of the food plots that

466
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 1: are out there, you know, farming hardwoods and corn and

467
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 1: soybeans for those folks that have been successful thus far.

468
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:15,400
Speaker 1: Then do you have any idea what they're set ups.

469
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,400
Speaker 1: It looked like if it's morning or evenings, if they're

470
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 1: focusing on food or getting it close to those Yeah,

471
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 1: we have a we have a cast member Kyle that

472
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 1: uh shot a really nice Maryland deer on the opening

473
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:31,880
Speaker 1: day September seven, and it was an evening hunt. Thunderstorm

474
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,479
Speaker 1: showers were in the area. He was lucky to get

475
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,439
Speaker 1: the deer coming in before the showers really let loose.

476
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 1: So he's got that on film. Uh. You know, we're

477
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:43,919
Speaker 1: expecting to have that on the show for everybody in

478
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: the spring to see. So you know, listen, I don't

479
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: know everybody's set ups, but you know, most of most

480
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 1: of what we do at suns of Fall a lot

481
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 1: of climbers, a lot of hanging hunts, and a lot

482
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,159
Speaker 1: of lock on tree stands that are you know, if

483
00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: it's private property, it's lock on, if it's if it's

484
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 1: state land, it's it's climbers. So going forward then next

485
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,200
Speaker 1: week or so, what do you think that bucket activity

486
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,120
Speaker 1: is going to be on a scale one to ten

487
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:13,919
Speaker 1: in Maryland? I would put it at a four or

488
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:17,879
Speaker 1: five this coming week given the doom and gloom of

489

00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 1: Lots of activity on for those morning setups. How aggressive

514
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 1: are you guys, like your stand in reference to the beds,

515
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 1: how close are you to to where they're trying to

516
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 1: get to I would say I mean at least cyrus

517
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 1: six hundred yards away there, um, you know, deep in

518
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 1: the bedding area. We've we've been trying to get a

519
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:16,120
Speaker 1: couple of hundred yards, um you know, probably three hundred

520
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 1: yards from fields back in the oaks, just trying to

521
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 1: catch them cutting off those fields in the morning because

522
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 1: it's like complete often from back home. We had some

523
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 1: trail cameras up and I churned today and it's been

524
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 1: out for two days and I kid single in red

525
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 1: picture on it. They are completely different than it at home.

526
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 1: I mean they didn't they don't move here. It's it's unreal. Um.

527
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 1: We we found to hear the other day that killed

528
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 1: and um, you know, we we were smelling. We saw

529
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: some buzzers went over there and it was all covered

530
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 1: up in your ass and had the bumping out of

531
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 1: it and said, I don't know if that had something

532
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 1: to do with them. They need to do just they

533
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 1: don't move at night. You've been out there for a

534
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 1: few days. Now, what have you seen as far as

535
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:14,239
Speaker 1: the bachelor groups breaking up? Are they still together? A

536
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 1: lot of those bucks flying solo at this point. No,

537
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 1: they're definitely, um still bachelored out big time. All the

538
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:27,480
Speaker 1: bucks are pretty much running together, and then all the

539
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 1: does there's dough groups and then pretty much every day

540
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 1: has two fonds with it, it seems like. But yeah,

541
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 1: big bachelor groups still, you know, I think tonight we

542
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 1: had a group of seven bucks come in at one

543
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 1: time later in the night there, which until you still

544
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 1: seeing these deer on their summer patterns and are you

545
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 1: sometimes having encounters with the same deer night after night? Yeah? Absolutely, absolutely,

546
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 1: most most of all the bucks we've seen that have

547
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 1: been out of velvet um here within the last week.

548
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 1: But they're definitely they still on a summer pattern. They're

549
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 1: not walking the same trail, per say, every day, but

550
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 1: they're definitely hit in the same fields. I mean going

551
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 1: back to the same area going forward. Then next week

552
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: or so, what do you think that bucket activity will

553
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 1: be on a scale of one to ten in Wyoming?

554
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 1: I can't imagine it's gonna be any worse. Um, looking

555
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 1: at the forecast, I'd say it's still gonna with the

556
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 1: bucks still bachelored up, I would assume and guests that

557
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 1: they're going to say in those same patterns. Alright, Champ, Well,

558
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 1: good luck in Wyoming, and uh look forward to seeing
