  Speaker 1: Welcome to the Wired to Hunt Foundations podcast, your guide
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: to the fundamentals of better deer hunting, and now your host,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Tony Peterson. Hey, everybody, welcome to the Wire to Hunt
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Foundations podcast, brought to you by First Light. Today's show
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: is all about muzzleloaders and how to kill a buck.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: As the late season officially kicks in, and I realized
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: that there are early muzzleloader seasons in a few states.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: I think I always got one in Kansas, and plenty
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: of folks down cells are also kind of just getting
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: started hunting with their bows or their center fire rifles.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Whether your muzzleloader season is going on right now, or
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: it's about to start, or maybe it's a few weeks
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: or a month away. I hope you get something out
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: of this episode. Not actually scratch that, I hope you
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: get something out of the next two episode. My introduction
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: to muzzleoader hunting, as it was the case with almost
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: all of my hunting, came from my father. He's one
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: of those guys who loves bow honey, but also really
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: really loves shooting guns. He's into the precision game. I
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: don't know how much paper he punches every year at
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: the range, but it's a lot, or at least it
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: was until ammo became as scarce as two bucks on
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: public land in Florida. So about I don't know, fifteen
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: sixteen years ago, he mentioned that we should probably try
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: muzzleoader hunting, so he bought a cheap kit muzzle order,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: one of those I don't know, two D muzzleloaders that
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: you buy and they come in the big plastic thing
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: like you would uh, I don't know, a a pair of
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: scissors or something. And since you could only use open
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: sites in Minnesota, then he figured he wouldn't be out
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: too much buying one of those kit guns. But it
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: was a gun, and since it was a gun, he
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: liked it. I did too. It wasn't long before there
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: were a few more muzzloaders laying around and we were
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: out hunting with them. It also wasn't long before I
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: figured out the hunting with a smoke pole wasn't as
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: easy as I expected it to be. I'm sure it
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: was pure cockiness on my part to think that I
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: could just go out and kill one with a gun.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Because I kind of frequently killed deer with a bow
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: back then, I thought i'd be able to clean out
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: the woods just because I had a gun, and even
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: though it had you know, somewhat limited range and iron sights,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: I was still probably too cocky and I was wrong.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: This might come as a surprise to some of you listeners,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: but some of the best moves I've made as a
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: hunter have come from getting shipped so wrong it's embarrassing.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: This was one of those things. With my early four
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: rays into muzzleloader land. I just went out and sat
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: on the food. I figured with a hundred yard ish
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: weapon and low standards, I only needed to get on
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: a cut corn field and wait for the sun to set.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: The problem with my plan was that I tried it
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: first on a farm that gets absolutely pounded during bow
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: and the regular gun season. While I'll get into this
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: later in far more depth on some future episodes, let
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: me just say this about late season advice. If someone
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: tells you that all you have to do is sit
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: on a food source and wait for the rut starved
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: bucks to show up, punch them right in the throat.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: You don't need those kind of lies in your life.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: I'm just kidding. No physical violence. Please, Instead, kindly remind
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: them that you're hunting in the real world, and it's
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: not so simple because pressure deer don't follow the same
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: rules as unpressured deer. This is the problem with any
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: deer hunting advice, and that it tends to kind of
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: gloss over our individual realities because it really has no
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: other choice. In my individual reality, when I started muzzled
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: or hunting was that I bought into the tall tale
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: that food was king and it would override the dear
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: sense of survival as the hangover from the gun season
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: faded and the real Minnesota cold set in. What actually
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: happened was that the deer that were left had been
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: scared into patterns that didn't make them want to show
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: themselves during daylight hours. This doesn't take too long to
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: figure out. If you have snow and then you sit
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: on the edge of a field and you don't see deer,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: the snow will show you the tracks, the field won't
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: show you the deer, and a whole lot of nocturnal
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: feeding becomes pretty obvious. But those deer have to get
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: there somehow, and they have to leave from there somehow,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: and that's where you kill them, or at least that's
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: where I started killing them. Does any of this sound familiar.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: It probably should. In past episodes, when I've talked about
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: bow hunting pressure deer, it's been all about figuring out
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: where they like to walk and then getting in there
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: to kill them. With gun hunting, the same rules apply.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: As a hunter, figuring out where deer are going to
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: walk during daylight hours is like nineties three percent of
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: your job. It's your number one priority, and it doesn't
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: matter what advice you've been given from some random hunting celebrities.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: What matters is what you see in your own world,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: in your own chosen woods. If the deer run to
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: the alfalfa field to mow down two hours before dark
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: and they show you that, then you know what to do.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: If they don't, or a few of them show up
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: within the last few minutes of legal shooting light, then
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: you know you've got to figure out where they are
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: coming from and how you can get in there to
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: get on them. How I figured out how to do
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: this for myself was by reverting right back to my
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: favorite thing, staging areas. This was largely a happy accident,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: by simply just defaultings of some of my bow stands
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: after flaming out on the field. Edge hunts with my muzzleloader.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: You guys know that I love staging areas, and when
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: it comes to early muzzleloader failures, I realized I need
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: to get into the cover and start watching. This was
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: easiest to accomplish by going to stands I already had
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: up that took advantage of the cover. What I saw
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: eventually was at the bucks and does that were left
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: after gun season. They would move, and they do it
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: in daylight some, but it would always be in the cover.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: This didn't mean I had to get right in on
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: a sanctuary with them, like during the heart of guns season,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: but it meant that I had to be somewhere between
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: that and the food in the morning. The same strategy worked.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: I just had to reverse the likely deer travel and
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: pay real close attention to my entrance roads and the
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: impression I made on the deer while getting in there.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: This sounds simple, right, and it can be. If you've
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: got conditions like powdery snow that lets you sneak in quietly,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: then it can be easy. But if you've got a
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: sheet of icy snow covering that powder, that sounds kind
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: of like you're stomping on a bag of potato chips
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: With every step, your results may vary. If you can't
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: get to your stand without learning the nearby deer, it's
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: freaking over. The survivors don't tolerate mistakes, and it's really
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: easy to make a mistake during many of the conditions
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: in which we find ourselves muzzle or hunting. Ditto for
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: late season bow hunts. Earlier, when I said your number
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: one priority was finding where do you like to walk?
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: I kind of lied. This is part of it. It
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: because you sure as hell don't want to hunt where
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: dear don't like to walk. But just as importantly, you've
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: got to read the situation and decide if you can
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: get in without blowing everything up. There's two steps to this.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Find where the deer like to walk, figure out if
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: you can get in there. If you can't, you're in trouble.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: This is tricky. I found that sometimes when the conditions
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: are loud, I mean really really loud, it's impossible to
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: hunt very well. This goes for late season white tails,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: as well as pheasants, grouse, bunnies, and probably every prey
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: animal we hunt. This also means that if you plan
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: a muzzle oader hunt, you better obsessively check the weather.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Cold conditions often create noisy conditions, which means the mornings
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: or evenings, when hunting should theoretically be best for those
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: hungry deer that should be moving, will actually be worse
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: for the hungry two legged predators heading out there with
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: what used to be a primitive weapon and is now
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: not really so. But conditions vary a lot. You might
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: get a nice warm up in the mid day that
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: makes sneaking in easy, or you might get a pre
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: or post frontal wind blowing through that covers your noise
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: and your movement. This is why obsessing over the weather
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: and planning your sits around it really matters this time here.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: If you hunt in snowy country, you might see that
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: a morning hunt is out because it's just too cold
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: and too crunchy. But the weather might break mid day,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: or the sun might have just enough time to soften
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: things up for an afternoon sit where you can get
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: in quietly, so you have to plan accordingly. If you
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: hunt too far south to have to consider much or
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: any snow, you might still be dealing with cold weather
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: in the morning and warmer weather in the afternoon. This
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: might be the difference between crunchy frosty leaves and easier
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: to move in without detection wet leaf, litter, groundcover later.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: I know that's a word salad, but what I mean
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: is when stuff's cold, it's noisy. When it's warm, it's
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: often not. That might mean the difference between crazy would
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: surface ice on a little stream or other wetland at
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: seven am in the morning, but a different quiet or
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: open water type of thing at two in the afternoon.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: I know I've mentioned on here and other podcasts I've
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: been on about a billion times about how hunters love
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: excuses to not hunt, but some are legit conditions you
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: simply can't overcome, especially on pressure. Deer are some of them.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Sometimes sleeping in is the right thing to do, even
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: if that doesn't fig your m oh throughout the rest
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: of the season. Or better yet, you can just set
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: yourself up with some backup options. This might sound familiar
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: to and if it doesn't, I urge you to go
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: back and listen to my earlier scouting episodes of this podcast.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: We dropped all summer long, having backup plans, having backup
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: stand sites, and even backup properties. Moolle importante mi amigoes.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: When it comes to conditions where you just feel like
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: you can't overcome them, then you shouldn't hunt there in
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: that spot. Maybe there is another location that allows for
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: quieter access. Maybe it's a stand closer to a busy road,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: or maybe you can just go glass some of your
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: ground from a safe distance. Do some observation. As common
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: as it is for hunters to decide they're being smart
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: by not hunting due to the litany of reasons, others
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: will hunt no matter what, this is just as bad
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: and might be a little worse if you don't have
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: too many options. If you hunt public land much, you'll
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: see all kinds of folks who are hunting when and
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: where they probably shouldn't be. That's the game out there,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: So no matter what, crunch crunch, crunching your way into
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: the heart of the best cover on the property, to
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: take the smoke poll for a walk because it's a
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Saturday morning and you want to hunt. That can cause
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: a lot of damage to your season. Be careful with
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: how easy it is to skip hunts or how die
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: hard you are when you absolutely have to hunt no
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: matter what. While they're on opposite ends of the spectrum,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: the end result is often terrible hunting. Of course, in
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: addition to making too much noise on the way in
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: and out, there's also the issue of hiding from deer.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: It's easy to be a gun hunter who doesn't value
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: this aspect because of the range of the modern rifle
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: and the prevalence of box blinds. I'm not knocking either,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: just saying they kind of make it possible to wear
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: blue jeans and hockey jersey and go out and kill deer.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: You might also muzzleloader hunt from one of those blinds
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: in that type of situation, and if you do, good
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: for you, but remember pay attention to what to the
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: deer show you. I've seen quite a few of my
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: hunting buddies by big box blinds and put them on
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: food plots, thinking that will be the end of any
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: work they need to do to kill stuff. Sometimes that works,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: but a lot of times, by the time the muzzleloader
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: season rolls around, the deer awful clued into the big
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: green tower blind and what may be hiding in it.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: If you don't have that option, or if you just
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: don't want to use it, you're going to half to hide.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: A scoped muzzleoader can allow you to reach out and
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: touch them, but where you're going to find, Pressure Dear,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: you might not need to dial it up to eleven,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: so to speak. You'll probably be shooting them in close quarters,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: which necessitates a little ninja work, just like bow hunting.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: This is hard for a lot of folks to grasp
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: because it seems like any gun, even a front stuffer,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: should allow you to climb into your favorite ladder stand
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: and pick them off when they pass through. But Pressure
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Dear look for hunters on the ground and in the trees,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: and they really look for them in the trees that
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: have had a ladder stand in them for seven years
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: and they've watched five of their buddies get shot out
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: of there. Where I'm going with this is the range
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: of the weapon can be used to your advantage. But
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: don't phone it in on your hides. If you go
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: to mobile route, which is a great way to fill
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: muzzle or tags, hide yourself just like you would on
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: a typical bow hunt, set up on the far side
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: of the tree from expected movement, or bury yourself in
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: a deadfall on the ground with situationally specific camouflage. Do
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: the work necessary to make the deer, do the work
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: necessary to catch you. In fact, that ground game is
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: a great way to hunt with a muzzle order because
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: you can really dig into the cover and use it
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: to your advantage, and you can buffer the wind a
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: little bit. This also makes it more comfortable a lot
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: of times, because there's nothing colder than sitting in a
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: tree stand when the north wind is blowing hard and
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: it's about seven degrees out. Plus you can use a
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: decent tripod and take a really steady shot, which isn't
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: always easy to do from a mobile tree stand or
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: a saddle set up. Also, make sure you've got another
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: round ready for the chamber if you catch my drift.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: The very essence of a muzzleloader, not surprisingly, is that
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: it loads from the muzzle, or at least it did
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: until one adventurous manufacturer created a hybrid version recently that
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: loads an awful lot like a traditional rifle. If you
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: don't have one of those, you gotta dig out a primer,
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: some powder, and a slug. Have those handy and know
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: where they are. I've had more than a few you
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: blown shots of my muzzleloader that allowed for a follow
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: up shot, and let me tell you, there are a
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: few times in the woods that feel more urgent than that.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Maybe maybe when you've had taco bell the night before
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: along with about seven bush lights, and then the coffee
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: kicks in an hour into your sit things can get
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: a little more urgent. But barring poor choices like those,
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: the need to get things going. It's very real when
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: you've missed with a smoke pool and the deers still
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: standing there gotta be fast. Quick loader options are a
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: good way to go, but so is a system. What
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: pocket is your AMMO in? Can you get your gloves
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: off quickly and get the whole thing loaded correctly? Can
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: you do that in a ladder stand or on a
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: tiny portable stand. Sometimes you don't miss, but your spine
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: one and a follow up shot is necessary. Are you
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: capable of making that follow up shot as quickly as possible?
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Know that, and for the love of God, please use
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: the rest. Part of the absolute beauty of hunting with
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: firearms is the ability to use a good, solid rest
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: like the tripod I just mentioned. That's a game changer
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: to the whole thing. And you'll rarely see someone with
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: a decade or two of successful gun hunting under his
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: or her belt who doesn't always look for a quality
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: rest in every shot situation and I mean every single
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: shot situation. Now. Lastly, when it comes to muzzle oder
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: hunting or I don't know, any hunting, really, make sure
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: to just pay attention. I know you're going to watch
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: any deer movement and take in all the deer sign
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: carefully so that you can get out of bucker. Done now.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: But also some of that movement clues you into season

  Speaker 1: long travel patterns. With the woods open and the pressure
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: over the last several weeks so high. Those deer that
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: you do see, they're showing you where they want to
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: go or where they have to go, the travel routes
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: they take, the places they bed. Those clues tell you
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: a lot about their habits when they feel threatened. That's
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: valuable information. It's gold for anyone who wants to figure
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: out pressure deer, even maybe the deer that you don't
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: really care to shoot, like the solo button buck who
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: crosses an old fence in a certain spot in the
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: wood lot during December. That little guy, he tells you something.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: The doe group that enters the field from a specific
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: point when the wind is out of the northwest, they're
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: telling you something too. And if you see a big buck,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: now that's even better make note of everything he does
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: and figure out why he doesn't. Ask yourself to why.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: It's not just that he's working towards the distant cornfield
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: at last light, but where is he coming from? How
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: is he going to get there? How's this body language?
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: Is he kg? Is he confident? Did he follow out
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: a for key that walked through fifteen minutes earlier? Pay
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: attention to what they give you because there is much
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: to learn from every deer sighting. And get that muzzle
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: are sited in because that's some of the most fun
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: you'll have all season. In fact, next week I'll give
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: you a part two on this and talk about some
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: of the hunting strategies that will allow you to really
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: enjoy your time in the field with the front stuffer.
