• 0:54
  Speaker 2: twenty five. We're getting very very close. How does it feel.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: Oh man, it feels great. Honestly, I hunted this deer.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: I you know, I hear people say grind all the time,
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: and I kind of hate that because, like it's not
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: a job, Like I hate going to my job and grind,
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, Like this is fun. Like
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: I get the like it's just a metaphor or whatever.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: But I mean I didn't really grind. Honestly, I only
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: hunted him like four times. I just I had to
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: pick and choose when I could.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Go in there.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and so when so you hundred four times, what
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: were the reasons, you know, the three previous times, like
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: kind of broadstroke, what was the reason You're like, Okay,
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna go take a swing? And it was like
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: one in October or November December. I kind of what
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: that looked like.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: So it was two in October, and it was just
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: a year. It was prior history with the deer last
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: year on days that he uh daylighted and I was wrong.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: I had so I had to get a sitter and
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: I had to either pick he daylighted on the eighteenth,
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: So I either had to pick the seventeenth or the
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: nineteenth to hunt or the eighteenth, and I picked the eighteenth,
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: and he was there on the seventeenth, and then I
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: was like, okay, he showed up again prior on Halloween,
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: so I was like, okay, I got a hunt. The
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: thirtieth was a Sunday. I think somewhere around there was
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: a Sunday. I was like, I'm gonna throw in that Sunday.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: He didn't show up, showed up the next day, okay,
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: of course, and.
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: Then I hunted him.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: I was like, you know what, no pictures really of
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: him in November or since that Halloween and then and
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: even the Halloween was one o'clock in the morning, so
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: it wasn't like he was daylight.
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: I was like, well, it's the rout. Anything can happen.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: I just went sat there on November fifth, and then
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: I've just been waiting ever since.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Well, so I think that's interesting that the historical data
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: was pretty close to right. Yeah, Like, which is you know,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: something for everyone to consider this year. Obviously you were
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: able to catch up with them late season, and we've
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: had awesome I mean every week I've been saying that
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: we've had you know, really strong, you know, late season
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: weather in December obviously it's a little bit warmer right now.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: The day you stroke struck this buck, what was your
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: level of confidence and why were you potentially confident?
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: I was probably like I didn't want to oversell myself,
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: but I was probably internally I knew it was gonna
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: get a chance at him that this past Tuesday, just
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: because one, he was there last week a week ago,
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: same day Tuesday, we had shitty weather, like bad low
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: pressure Saturday, Sunday, Monday. Tuesday came last week we had
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: high pressure, nice sunny, cold day and he was there
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: early three point thirty and I was like, well, same
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: thing's going on, same thing. I was like, I'm gonna
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: get in there nice and early. And he showed up
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: right on time, four o'clock. That's super cool. What where
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: are you hunting over?
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Like a primary food source, a place where you are yeah,
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: going cool, I'm not gonna I mean.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: We're hunt I'm in Ohio hunting small you know, suburbs
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: and stuff. We're hunting corn and it's I bet if
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: they flew drone, there's probably fifty.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Corn piles, you know.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: But uh, once it starts getting real cold like this,
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: like I mean, I mean it's been brutal, like honestly,
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: like this winter just came with an abrupt fist and
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: was like I'm here, yeah, and uh, a lot of
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: guys I think just quit and he was just run down.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: I mean, he looked like he lost one hundred and
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: twenty pounds and lost an eye and I just found
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: out he's got a.
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: Big knot on his one leg. So like, I don't
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: know if everyone just quit.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: Feeding around me or if that's where he's been, and
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: like it ran out and he's like, oh, there's corn
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: over here, but yeah, I'm not gonna stay. Oh yeah,
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: I put all this time, and you know I was
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: just dumping corn man.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's It's crazy what they go through in a year.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: And I always wonder how many times a big buck
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: cheat's death. And clearly that deer probably cheated death a
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: handful of times, you know, from other deer and missing
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: an eyeball and you know, big lump on his leg.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: And so last year, I'm trying to remember how frigid
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: December was. I don't remember it being real crazy or so.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: I remember mild, really mild, honestly.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: And so last year was he in there feeding in
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: December or so last.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: Year I killed his running mate last year, and I
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: would have swore I was gonna kill this year. The
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: first day this year he was in there religiously, but
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: I again, acorns play a big part in it, and
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: it's not like I can just trump all over everyone's
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: private and see where acorns are dropping. You know, it's
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: not like it's a huge farm. So I just kind
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: of got to play it by year. But yeah, this
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: year he was I mean, dude, velvet. I got beautiful videos,
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: pictures all the way up him chadding bloody horned velvet.
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: And I'm like, I told my wife.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: I was like, I'm gonna kill him the first day
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: and then you know he's gone.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Well, I think there's some lessons of sticking with it
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: and not giving up. I feel like that's that's probably
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: would you say that's one of the biggest pieces of
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: advice you can give someone for this time of years
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: is don't give up.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: Don't don't give up one hundred percent. I could tell
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: another story where it was probably I don't know. When
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: I first moved to Ohio five years ago, I shot
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: under a buck. There was literally a week left in
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: the season. I told my wife, I'm like, screw this,
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: I'm done. I'm not going back out. It is what
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: it is. I'm terrible. I'm giving up for the year.
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: And she was like, you know, you should really go.
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: He's like trying to push.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: Me to go, and I just didn't go, And I
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: went and pulled that camera card and that deer was
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: there the next three nights, an hour before dark, just
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: sitting there and just you can't give up this time
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: of year.
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: You just got to ride it out.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: As much as it sucks hunting in this stuff. I
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: mean it's warm now, it's fifty five outside right now,
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: but I'm sure January is gonna get cold again, and
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: you just gotta find the food and just ride it out.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's uh, that's really I mean, this is
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: the truth everyone like you if you're hunting this late
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: in the seasons because it didn't happen yet and you're's
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: like to your point last year, Like, no, I suck
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: and I just need to hang it up.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: But I think there's some pretty good advice in that.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: So, like looking here, obviously, during the holidays, that might
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: be a super busy time for some people, it might
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: be a time where they might have an opportunity to
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: get out. Looking at the extent of forecast right now,
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: it looks like it's gonna you know, when this goes live,
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: it'll still be pretty darn mild, at least here in Illinois.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: For those folks, do you have any words of advice?
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Is that just maybe move cameras around and hang out
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: and wait for the next front, or would you have
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: enough conviction to go try a couple of times so
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: over the next seven days.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: Oh man, it depends what your life situation is. Honestly,
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: so I have a nine month old, I have a wife.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: You know, if you're single and you can you know,
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: kind of living the bachelor life will say, and you
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: can get away with hunting. I feel like, I mean,
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: it sounds crazy, but if you can get in with
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: a good wind, why not. I mean, you've already we're
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: two months into the season, ohios, until February first.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, we're getting close to the end here.
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: Why not just go if you can get in and
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: out clean.
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: But to the guy like me who's got a family,
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: it's holidays and stuff like that where you just kind
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: of have to pick and shoes.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: I'm probably waiting for a front.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: I'm probably gonna find a deer, or if I have
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: a deer that's like on the edge of daylight, I'm
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: probably gonna wait for that next front and harmy yeah.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: So with that's being said, scale one to ten, ten
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: being one of the best weeks of the year, one
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: being one of the worst weeks of the year. Next
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: seven days Christmas Eve Day to New Yor's Eve.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: One to ten. Where do you put it, all things considered.
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: I could say it could be feast or famine.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna say I would put it right in the
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: middle of five, because if the weather's gnarling and it's
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: cold and the deer like got a feed, it could
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: be a ten. You know, it could go fifty to fifty.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: But now it's fifty five and it's gonna be rainy,
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: and it's just the complete opposite of what I was
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: hunting in, you know, on just two days ago.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, well I think that's that's fair. And then
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: I'll ask you one last question, brand Newborn, any tips,
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: any tips for the guy that is, uh, I'm not
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: expecting anything, so I got for everyone. It's the stage
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: of life for a lot of people.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: No, yeah, it's it's it.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: So a lot of my friends were telling me I
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: wasn't hunting enough. That's why I haven't killed him, and
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: you know, all this stuff. And granted, if I would
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: have hunted every day. Yeah, probably would have killed him
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: back in October. But now with a newborn, I gotta
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: get a sitter. I got to call in a favor
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: with my sister in law or my mother in law.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: My advice would be, man, just watch those cameras.
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: I know that, like people are like you kind of
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: have to get a pattern on a deer like rule
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: thumb for me. If he does something twice the third time,
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna be there. And this year was big proof
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: for that historical data. Man, really really like stave those
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: pictures from the year before. I know a lot of
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: guys just leave him in the app or whatever. But
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: I made a separate folder in my phone and I
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: store all those three and four year olds that maybe
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: in a couple of years I want to shoot for
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: the following next year, you can come back to that'll
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: save you so like then you can really plan. Okay,
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: I need to sit her on the seventeenth, eighteenth, nineteenth.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna hunt those three days and then my wife's
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: very understanding. Also, I don't have a ton of hobbies.
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: That's the other thing.
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: I know.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: Guys that goll punt fish do all this stuff. I
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: pretty much just hunt.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: So I like it.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Well, man, congratulations on connect with your buck here. I
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: hope you have an awesome, awesome Christmas. Appreciate it. And
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: good luck to your wife. I know she's still hunting Ohio.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: And good luck if you venture out to Pennsylvania anymore.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Thanks, I appreciate it all.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: Right. Next up we have Jake A. Lord with Hunters
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: of Vantaged podcast. Jake, how's it going?
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: It's going good man, Jake, thanks for having me on absolutely.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: And so we were just talking earlier this month. We
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: were ragging about how great the winter weather was now
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: and mother Nature hurt us because it's gonna be a
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: little toasty. So you're down in Oklahoma, what do you
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: what have you been seeing in what's been going on
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: in your neck of the woods.
• 12:00
  Speaker 7: Yeah, so just put in a little context.
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: I'm in northeast Oklahoma, so I don't know, probably thirteen
• 12:06
  Speaker 6: minutes or thirteen thirty minutes from you know, the Kansas border.
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: So around here we got a lot of pasture land
• 12:12
  Speaker 6: and so a lot of open areas and a little
• 12:17
  Speaker 6: bit of timber. And so you mix that with you know,
• 12:20
  Speaker 6: the two week gun season that just now happened here.
• 12:22
  Speaker 6: You can tell that the bucks and a lot of
• 12:25
  Speaker 6: the deer just kind of hanging tight to the timber
• 12:28
  Speaker 6: and so on. Camera wise, a lot of them aren't
• 12:33
  Speaker 6: usually coming out in those fields or you know, trying
• 12:35
  Speaker 6: to hit like your I.
• 12:37
  Speaker 7: Guess food sources because it's open areas.
• 12:40
  Speaker 6: But we don't have that ag that you know a
• 12:44
  Speaker 6: lot of the Kansas people do have. And so we
• 12:47
  Speaker 6: you know, utilize corn feeders, corn piles, whether people may
• 12:50
  Speaker 6: like it or not. Oklahoma's debate state. So that helps
• 12:54
  Speaker 6: at least for the private pieces. But like I said,
• 12:57
  Speaker 6: with all the pressure here lately, it's kind of of
• 13:01
  Speaker 6: not been pulling its weight, if that makes sense.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: It's been tough in other words, Yeah, it's been real tough. Yeah.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: And so so we were talking beforehand before we started
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: recording about you know, there's two scenarios where late season
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: hunting can be really good. You mentioned a food or
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: a sanctuary, and so talk about that a little bit because.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Most people don't have that.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: If we really paint the broader picture of most white
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: tail hunters that are listening to this, more than likely
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: they don't have those two things. And why are those important?
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: And what can someone do without them?
• 13:28
  Speaker 7: Yeah, kind of like I said a second ago.
• 13:30
  Speaker 6: It you either need good sanctuary where the deer feel
• 13:35
  Speaker 6: safe after a long season and all the pressure, or
• 13:38
  Speaker 6: you need you know, that good food source, which you
• 13:40
  Speaker 6: know on my private piece that I have, we don't
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: have that because it's a permission piece. We can't do
• 13:45
  Speaker 6: much altering to the land. So no food plot, it's
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: no late season food sources. So that's why we stick
• 13:51
  Speaker 6: with corn. But I mean, it's it's okay if you
• 13:54
  Speaker 6: don't have those. It isn't like all hoops lost. But
• 13:56
  Speaker 6: the thing is, instead of just having it now, you
• 13:58
  Speaker 6: got to go find it. So you know, like I said,
• 14:01
  Speaker 6: the private's kind of out of the picture if I'm
• 14:03
  Speaker 6: still wanting to punch my tag, And so that moves
• 14:05
  Speaker 6: us to public where you actually can go put boots
• 14:08
  Speaker 6: on the ground and find those food sources. And so
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: you can't bait on public here in Oklahoma, which is okay,
• 14:13
  Speaker 6: But what you do need is that good natural browse
• 14:17
  Speaker 6: the food source, and so down here that's usually like
• 14:20
  Speaker 6: those oaks, red oaks, stuff like that, those late dropping ones.
• 14:22
  Speaker 7: So that's kind of what we key in on.
• 14:24
  Speaker 6: And you know, not all of them are obviously the ticket,
• 14:29
  Speaker 6: and especially now, it seems like all the deer during
• 14:33
  Speaker 6: this late season they're all getting like congregated again. I
• 14:35
  Speaker 6: don't know if that's just because they're all grouping back
• 14:38
  Speaker 6: up and you know, want to say hi to each
• 14:39
  Speaker 6: other after a long rut, or if that's just kind
• 14:42
  Speaker 6: of food centralized where the food's kind of making them
• 14:44
  Speaker 6: congregate in all this one area. But what we've been seeing,
• 14:49
  Speaker 6: and I mean, maybe not so much this late season
• 14:53
  Speaker 6: just because like I told you, Yester, I've been kind
• 14:54
  Speaker 6: of getting my butt kicked. But like years past and stuff,
• 14:57
  Speaker 6: if you can find those really good dropping oaks, can
• 15:00
  Speaker 6: find the deer. So you just want those food sources
• 15:03
  Speaker 6: where you get a whole lot of sign with the
• 15:04
  Speaker 6: up be droppings tracks, whatever you call your deer sign.
• 15:09
  Speaker 6: That's what you want to see around those oak trees.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: How challenging is it for someone uh to go find
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: you know, that congregation of deer?
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Is it just putting on putting on miles.
• 15:29
  Speaker 7: It's a lot of walking. It's a lot of walking.
• 15:31
  Speaker 6: I mean, you could try to put cameras and just
• 15:35
  Speaker 6: maybe focus these, it'd be it'd be really hard to
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: try to I guess pattern the oaks with your cameras
• 15:43
  Speaker 6: to try to figure out which ones. I mean, if
• 15:45
  Speaker 6: you had enough cameras you might be able to, but
• 15:47
  Speaker 6: you you'd be checking at least ten plus different spots
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: or areas just try to find those those good ones.
• 15:53
  Speaker 6: And of course, as you know that natural brows and
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: acorns and stuff like that, everything's trying to hit them,
• 15:58
  Speaker 6: so it's like a it's like a.
• 16:00
  Speaker 7: Temporary thing even when you do find them.
• 16:02
  Speaker 6: So it's just you got to you gotta find it
• 16:04
  Speaker 6: when it's hot, and you got to be there, and
• 16:06
  Speaker 6: if not, then it's just it just makes it a
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: lot tougher result.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's I think a lot of people are
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: in that boat. If we're being honest, If you don't
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: have the right set up, it is, there's no doubt
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: about it.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: It's very challenging.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: And so how how hard do you think it would
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: be on a scale one of ten to go to
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: go find like two or three options for someone and
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: they just be honest. But I think there'll be someone
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: that's like, oh no, it can't be the hard, and
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: maybe it'll be reverse psychology to encourage someone to go
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: try this.
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: I mean if if you want me to give motivation,
• 16:36
  Speaker 6: then it's not going to be very hard. But if
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: you want me to be realistic, then it's probably gonna
• 16:40
  Speaker 6: be like a I don't know. I'd probably say if
• 16:42
  Speaker 6: ten's the hardest, it'd be about a six or seven,
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: Like it's going to be more.
• 16:46
  Speaker 7: Hard than not, like whether people want to admit it
• 16:49
  Speaker 7: or not.
• 16:49
  Speaker 6: Like, unless you have that food source of sanctuary, the
• 16:52
  Speaker 6: best time of the year is over. And I don't
• 16:55
  Speaker 6: want to put damper in people's plans, but that's just
• 16:57
  Speaker 6: the reality of it. And I like looking at things
• 16:59
  Speaker 6: of kind of how they are, and uh that way,
• 17:03
  Speaker 6: you know, hunting is a metal game. You know more
• 17:05
  Speaker 6: than I do. And uh, if your if your mindset's
• 17:09
  Speaker 6: not there, then it's like you're gonna have a horrible
• 17:11
  Speaker 6: time out there, and more than likely you're just not
• 17:13
  Speaker 6: even gonna strap on the boots and go. So uh,
• 17:15
  Speaker 6: I think having that mindset of knowing like, hey, this
• 17:19
  Speaker 6: is going to be tough, but if I find the ticket,
• 17:22
  Speaker 6: like you're gonna have a great hunt. So it will
• 17:25
  Speaker 6: be tough, but if you can find that care at
• 17:28
  Speaker 6: the end of the stick, it will be well well
• 17:30
  Speaker 6: worth it.
• 17:30
  Speaker 7: Just because you're going to see so many deer.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: I might be jump with a gun here.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: Uh would you say another added benefit is scown for
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: next year as well?
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: You're in there.
• 17:41
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's actually what what we're doing a lot of
• 17:43
  Speaker 6: the time. So uh, when you are walking around looking
• 17:47
  Speaker 6: for those uh those good dropping oaks right now, like
• 17:50
  Speaker 6: that's you run into so much good sign So it
• 17:53
  Speaker 6: like again, it's not like you're just wasting time out
• 17:56
  Speaker 6: there because you are taking you know, that intel for
• 17:59
  Speaker 6: next year.
• 18:00
  Speaker 7: And so no, that is that is a really good point.
• 18:02
  Speaker 7: I'm glad you brought that up.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I'm trying to think here as far as
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: you know what you're anticipating here for the next week,
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: you know, Merry Christmas to everyone, and sometimes that makes
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: sometimes that might be one of the busiest times of
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: the year for some families, or maybe if they don't
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: have to travel for the holidays, it might they might
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: be able to get out there and do some of
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: the things that you just discussed. But looking at the
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: elevated temperatures for the majority of the country here, at
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: least on the start of it looks like there is
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: a front that's rolling in the later part of the week,
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: at least here in Illinois scale one to ten, ten
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: being the best week of the year, one being one
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: of the worst weeks of the year of twenty twenty five,
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: Where would you rank.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: It for the next you know, seven days?
• 18:44
  Speaker 6: I mean, so we got Christmas obviously, so I feel
• 18:48
  Speaker 6: like more people are going to have that time off.
• 18:50
  Speaker 6: And that's kind of all it takes this time of
• 18:53
  Speaker 6: year is just if you have that extra time. Now granted,
• 18:55
  Speaker 6: obviously spend that with families, spend that with friends, but
• 18:58
  Speaker 6: if you have that time off, it can be really good.
• 19:01
  Speaker 6: Like I have a buddy here. His name's Cooper Hill.
• 19:05
  Speaker 6: He is the late season dude, and that's exactly the
• 19:09
  Speaker 6: strategy he does. He shot so Oklahoma season ends. I
• 19:12
  Speaker 6: know we're not all the way there yet, but it
• 19:14
  Speaker 6: ends January fourteenth or fifteenth, and he killed a super
• 19:18
  Speaker 6: nice bock on public doing that Oak strategy on January fourteenth,
• 19:23
  Speaker 6: and he said he's seen more bucks on those couple
• 19:25
  Speaker 6: sits than he has the whole entire the whole entirety
• 19:28
  Speaker 6: of the year.
• 19:29
  Speaker 7: So not all hope is lost.
• 19:30
  Speaker 6: It is just tougher to find those spots, but when
• 19:33
  Speaker 6: you do, it will pay off, So okay.
• 19:36
  Speaker 7: To wrap that up, sorry, a number. Wise I would
• 19:39
  Speaker 7: probably give it.
• 19:41
  Speaker 6: I'd probably still give it like a six, but I'm
• 19:44
  Speaker 6: going to say like a seven just because it's going
• 19:46
  Speaker 6: to be harder to find, like I said, but when you.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: Do, it's good. I like it.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: Well hopefully you know. I still feel to your point.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: You know, depending on where you're what state you're in,
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: you know seasons, you know it's not over here just
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: because the calendar switches a twenty six, oh for sure,
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: and so and also next year we'll be here before
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: we know too, like believe it or not, knock on wood, dear.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: Season happens every year.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: So if you can still learn something that helps you
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: the next year, I think that's a really great piece
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: of advice.
• 20:13
  Speaker 6: Anything else here, Jake before we wrap it up, No, nope,
• 20:16
  Speaker 6: I just appreciate you having me on, Jake.
• 20:18
  Speaker 7: It's always good to sit down and talk some deer
• 20:20
  Speaker 7: hunting with you.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: So if people want to go and listen to your guys'
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: podcast too, where is the best place to do that
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: and what are you guys covering?
• 20:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah, so it's me and my buddy Christian Babcock. You
• 20:31
  Speaker 6: can find us on Spotify, YouTube, Apple Podcast.
• 20:35
  Speaker 7: It's just hundredsdvantage on all those things.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: Awesome, Thank you so much, good luck the rest of
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: the season. Merry Christmas. Hope you have a Grete twenty six. Thanks,
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: shake you too, all right. Next up on the line
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: we have Tommy Dickerson. Tommy has helped out on the
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: white Tail podcast this past year, and you've had a
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: really exciting season and most recently you shot a buck
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: in Indiana.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: How does it feel feels good?
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: Jake?
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: It feels really good, all right, any of it's a
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: fun state to get after it in different gun seasons
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: in Ohio where I'm from, Bordon Raids, So it's really
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: nice to.
• 21:06
  Speaker 8: Be able to hop over there and get some gun
• 21:08
  Speaker 8: hunting in.
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: Essentially, I can home with a gun vow whenever I want,
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: you know, after November.
• 21:13
  Speaker 8: Fifteenth, or whenever their season comes in. So it's pretty exciting.
• 21:16
  Speaker 8: Love hopping the border and be able to do that.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So tell me a little bit about your planing
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: here to hop over to Indiana. Was the weather related,
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: intel related? Or you had some free time and you
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: wanted to go.
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: So all my late season hunting is targeted around the weather.
• 21:34
  Speaker 8: I won't go out if I don't think that there's
• 21:36
  Speaker 8: gonna be any decent weather. So that's a big temperature change.
• 21:40
  Speaker 8: This buck showed up late in the year.
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: I didn't even know he really existed, and I found
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: him just because I was going to take down all
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: the cameras on this farm and take.
• 21:50
  Speaker 8: Them to Ohio and put them on our farm.
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: And I just walked in Detember just when I was
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: pulling the cameras and saw a bunch of sign and
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: realized that, hey, there's actually a buck using this. So
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: got in there and got some new cameras out, found
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: the buck, and then waited for a temperature change.
• 22:06
  Speaker 8: Last week we had a big temperature drop, as in.
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: The negatives chased them around and couldn't make it happen.
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: And I saw a temptature drop on Friday and went
• 22:16
  Speaker 5: in there and saw them.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's awesome.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: And so tell tell me a little bit about the
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: sign that made you stick around, right, because I think
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: there's some some good advice there for really anyone for
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: the remainder of the season. Like I feel, you got
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: to keep staying nimble and if you're not on something,
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: maybe try to go find something. And that's kind of
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: what happened for you, What was the sign they got
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: you excited was a rub scrapes, just a bunch of tracks.
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: So there were there's scrapes that were ahead and also
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: there's deer beds, but they were single beds. They were
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: I wasn't finding them, you know, right right next.
• 22:51
  Speaker 8: To each other, like it was dozed betting. It was
• 22:53
  Speaker 8: more there spread out.
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: There'd at least be a couple of hundred yards between
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: beds and just the thick, nasty part of this farm.
• 23:00
  Speaker 5: And so I kind of figured at that point that.
• 23:03
  Speaker 8: There was a buck in there.
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: There were there's multiple bucks into the age class of them.
• 23:08
  Speaker 8: Once I once I got those cameras.
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: Out, then after I found that signed it took twenty
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: four hours when I found the dear. So after that
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: it was you know, just out of the small little
• 23:18
  Speaker 5: shift and my mindset of how to hunt the farm
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: and where the deer were enabled.
• 23:24
  Speaker 8: Me to connect with the buck. So that was pretty
• 23:27
  Speaker 8: exciting to find.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and so shows up on camera and then you
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: look at the weather temperature drop.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: What was your setup like?
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: Was he was he headed a cut cornfield, bean field,
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: alfalfa acorns.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: What was kind of his feeding pattern.
• 23:42
  Speaker 8: So he he was in he was feeding cut corn,
• 23:45
  Speaker 8: and so on this form the former used.
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: I think he's a hobby former, and so he has
• 23:50
  Speaker 5: all the older equipment and he doesn't kill the corn
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: under which is cute, especially in the late season. So
• 23:56
  Speaker 5: since he used the older equipment, it's not as it's
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: not as great picking up the corn when they're cutting it.
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: So there's a lot of corn that gets left. And
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: then when he doesn't till it under all that corn
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: stays out.
• 24:06
  Speaker 8: And so that's why I think he's here.
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: We're targeting this field that I had the ability to hunt.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: Mm hmm. Yeah.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: That old equipment is becoming a thing of the past
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: of farm country across the country, so that that's uh,
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: that's a really big benefit to have.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: Basically a lot of food that gets left over.
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah for sure, I wish, I wish, honest they had
• 24:32
  Speaker 5: the the make the equipment drop more corn just to
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: help the g out across the states, are you know,
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: across him his west.
• 24:40
  Speaker 8: I think we got bigger here just in general.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no for sure. And so.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: Over the cut cornfield this, how many deer did you
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: see that evening?
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: Was? It?
• 24:50
  Speaker 8: Was?
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: It a full house was it was he the last
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: buck to come out? What what was that like? Uh?
• 24:54
  Speaker 5: So I sold five that came out into the field
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: and then where I can see up into the woods
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: and this woods needs some serious ts. I work real open,
• 25:05
  Speaker 5: and I saw some deer up in there as well.
• 25:09
  Speaker 8: But in the field, five different bucks came out.
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: Didn't see it though, which was pretty interesting to see
• 25:14
  Speaker 5: that they were all grouping together, especially from the sign
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: that I found saying that they weren't bedding together. I
• 25:19
  Speaker 5: think when I found those beds, it was still November,
• 25:23
  Speaker 5: and I think I killed it here on the nineteenth,
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: so I think at that point in the season they
• 25:27
  Speaker 5: probably all started to clump together a little bit more,
• 25:29
  Speaker 5: which was pretty beneficial. It's kind of cool to see,
• 25:32
  Speaker 5: like it almost was like a bachelor group where these
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: bucks were living together, but he was clearly the oldest,
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: and then there's a couple of two year olds and
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: then a couple of our.
• 25:41
  Speaker 8: Year half shields as well.
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, and so yeah, that's that's really awesome, man.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: And I think for anyone out there, reshuffle those cameras
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: or find find the hobby farm corn field, or find
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: find the food for sure, and so kind of looking
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: here for the for the near future, I mean temperatures
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: here for warmed up just a little bit, and then
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: you know, looking at the extended forecast, it looks like,
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: you know, when this goes live, it's going to be
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: pretty warm, but there is another cold front.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: So for folks that are hopefully.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: Going to get you know, maybe a little bit of
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: time over the holiday, maybe they don't have as much
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: commitments and they're going to be able to sneak out
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: for a couple of evenings, what would you tell those folks?
• 26:21
  Speaker 5: So what I would tell them is if you have
• 26:24
  Speaker 5: green resources while it's warm, and you have the ability
• 26:26
  Speaker 5: to hunt. You know a lot of people do get
• 26:28
  Speaker 5: those couple of days off of the family and they
• 26:30
  Speaker 5: have access to you know.
• 26:31
  Speaker 8: Different properties hunt. I would key and on group any
• 26:34
  Speaker 8: kind of green food source for when it's warmer, and.
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: Then once that tendency drop does hit, I would get
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: back on the ag.
• 26:41
  Speaker 8: If you have skating corn, stay and beans.
• 26:44
  Speaker 5: Cut corn, whatever it is, I would get onto that
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: ag as soon as you can for that cold product
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: because they are going to be coming for it, especially
• 26:52
  Speaker 5: when you've got a long period of you know, it's.
• 26:54
  Speaker 8: Real warm and then cuts down the real cold they're
• 26:56
  Speaker 8: going to hit.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: The ad mm hmm.
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it looks like, you know, for that next week
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: is going to be warm, so hunt the greens on
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: the on the front part of that. And then it
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: looks like temperatures they're not going to be frigid, frigid
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: or as cold as what it has been earlier in
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: this month of December, but there's still going to be
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: a drop And so I think that's that's some really
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: good advice.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: Are you Are you.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: Throwing any morning hunts out this time? I know people
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: it's almost like that's a tongue in cheek question, but
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: there might be some people that have time they're like, well,
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna go out and throw a morning hunt. Where
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: where do you stand on this?
• 27:26
  Speaker 5: So I do believe that there you can't fully x like,
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: you can't just cross it out of your strategy, right.
• 27:34
  Speaker 8: I think that that'd be a bad.
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: Approach to hunting as a whole, is just to exit
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: anything out of the strategy because of a certain time
• 27:40
  Speaker 5: of year. But obviously the evenings are significantly better for
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: access reasons and also getting them out in front of daylight.
• 27:50
  Speaker 5: But if you're able to run elcams. Sometimes if you
• 27:54
  Speaker 5: have a buck on a pattern, you can figure out.
• 27:56
  Speaker 5: So let's say he comes out right after dark and
• 27:59
  Speaker 5: then he might you know, or right after dark until
• 28:02
  Speaker 5: eleven o'clock at night.
• 28:04
  Speaker 8: Team might come out.
• 28:05
  Speaker 5: Late in the morning, especially during a cool front, onto.
• 28:08
  Speaker 8: That food and so you can get in there without.
• 28:11
  Speaker 5: Pumping all the deer off the food source, then you
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: probably will have a pretty decent hunt. But mature bucks
• 28:17
  Speaker 5: nine ninety five percent of the time, like you want
• 28:21
  Speaker 5: to be in any nay, just because if you bump
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: the doze off in the smaller box, like he's going
• 28:25
  Speaker 5: to notice that and it's not going to happen for you.
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to circle back to I know a
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: part of Ohio that you hunt.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: You know there was EHD.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: I know that that's a very serious thing for a
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: lot of people, you know, in many pockets of the country,
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: but obviously Ohio got the most attention this year for
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: just the amount of carnage that quite frankly happened. What
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: have you been seen or maybe what you have not
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: been seen on cameras here uh in Ohio? And I
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: guess kind of like your boots on the ground report
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: regarding that.
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: So on my Ohio farm, Western Ohio, we did not
• 29:00
  Speaker 5: get hit with the AHD at all, which is pretty incredible.
• 29:04
  Speaker 8: But where I go to school in Athens, after Ohio,
• 29:08
  Speaker 8: Southeast Ohio.
• 29:09
  Speaker 5: Right in the central essentially of where EAHD hit hard,
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: it's been tough talking to different hunters. There's a lot
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: of people that are say they're not saying year that they.
• 29:20
  Speaker 8: They're struggling.
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: But I think this time of year, if you're in
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: an area they got hit with the HD hard the year,
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: are going to group together because this naturally essentially that's
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: what they do when they're food. So if you this
• 29:34
  Speaker 5: might be the best time of year if you did
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: have an HD break or outbreak to find a food
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: source and get a big buck killed, because that that
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: big buck is going to keen on the whatever primary
• 29:45
  Speaker 5: food sources in.
• 29:46
  Speaker 8: His region and he's going to be in.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: There no matter what. Yeah.
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: No, I think that's uh, that's great advice, And I
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: think it'll be a great inventory to you to see
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: what survivors made it through and maybe what nextra my
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: look like too, because I mean, I think for a
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: lot of hunters too, next season's already started right now.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: Too.
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: I know season is still open for the majority of
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: the country, but for a lot of folks they're already
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: thinking about next year, which I think is a totally
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: healthy thing to do and a holistic thing to look at,
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: and so I think that's good intel, just to see
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: what maybe made it through.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: Now looking at the.
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: Weather here, Christmas time somewhat decent weather scale one to ten,
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: ten being one of the best weeks of the year,
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: one being one of the worst weeks of the year.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: Where do you put the last seven days of twenty
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: and twenty five according to your intel, insight and gut feeling.
• 30:39
  Speaker 5: I even though there is a big tempt to drop,
• 30:42
  Speaker 5: I don't think it's going to be a killer time
• 30:45
  Speaker 5: to be in the woods.
• 30:46
  Speaker 8: Especially when there's no snow. We're all hoping for a
• 30:49
  Speaker 8: white Christmas. I don't think we're going to get it.
• 30:51
  Speaker 8: But if you have the time to go out.
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: And want to go out with family's friends, whatever it is, give.
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: It a set.
• 31:01
  Speaker 5: Okay, I think there is probability that you can get
• 31:04
  Speaker 5: it done. But overall, I think there could be better
• 31:08
  Speaker 5: times than year when you can be in there. I
• 31:10
  Speaker 5: don't want to discourage anyone from going out, Like, if
• 31:12
  Speaker 5: you still want to go.
• 31:12
  Speaker 8: Out and you have a year that you want to
• 31:13
  Speaker 8: get killed, go out and try and kill them. But
• 31:17
  Speaker 8: I think there could be better times.
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: Of this season still last for someone else to get
• 31:21
  Speaker 5: in there, but don't let that stop you from y'all out.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: I like it.
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: Well, congratulations Tommy on a great year. Merry Christmas to you,
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: and we'll see what happens for the rest of your season.
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: I know Ohio, Ohio goes late in comparison to many
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: other states, So good luck for the rest of the
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: season for Ohio and we'll see you next time.
• 31:40
  Speaker 8: Awesome, Thanks Jake.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: All Right, there, you guys have it.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: I hope you guys enjoyed this season of ret fresh
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: I hope you guys have a very merry Christmas, a
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: happy New Year, and you get a chance to spend
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: some time with friends and family, maybe even sneak out,
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: do a little deer honey, or maybe just get outside
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: and enjoy some fresh air, because I think it's going
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: to be a little bit warmer here for the first
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: part of this upcoming week, so we will see you
• 32:04
