Speaker 1: Welcome to the Wire to Hunt podcast, your home for
0:06
Speaker 1: deer hunting news, stories and strategies, and now your host,
0:11
Speaker 1: Mark Kenyon. Welcome to the Wired to Hunt Podcast. I'm
0:15
Speaker 1: your host, Mark Kenyon. This episode number one and telling
0:19
Speaker 1: the show. We are back with a radio episode in
0:22
Speaker 1: which we're getting updates from hunters all across the country
0:25
Speaker 1: about deer activity right now, what's happened in the woods,
0:29
Speaker 1: and what we should be doing as hunters. And we
0:31
Speaker 1: are right in the midst of late season, so be
0:33
Speaker 1: sure to catch this one to figure out how to
0:35
Speaker 1: fill those final tags of the season. All right, welcome
0:44
Speaker 1: to another episode of the Wire to Hunt podcast, brought
0:48
Speaker 1: to you by sit gear and uh we are here
0:51
Speaker 1: again for another of our radio episodes, and in those,
0:56
Speaker 1: if you're not familiar, we chat with a handful of
0:58
Speaker 1: different hunters from differ from parts of the country to
1:01
Speaker 1: get the latest on deer activity, dear behavior, um current conditions,
1:06
Speaker 1: and all the things that might be impacting deer hunting
1:10
Speaker 1: right now this week across the country. So we've been
1:13
Speaker 1: doing this since September. Now we are all the way
1:16
Speaker 1: into December and we're talking kind of late season stuff now.
1:20
Speaker 1: Um so it's much different than you know, the running
1:22
Speaker 1: activity we talked about back in November for most of
1:25
Speaker 1: the part. But that's the game plan for today and
1:28
Speaker 1: with me. The man who makes all of this happen
1:31
Speaker 1: for us is Spencer new Hearth tit on. Man, I'm good.
1:36
Speaker 1: I have not been deer hunting in a while now,
1:38
Speaker 1: but I'm okay with it. When I see the temperatures
1:41
Speaker 1: that are like seven degrees in the morning and stuff,
1:44
Speaker 1: it's all right to be done for this. Yeah, it's
1:47
Speaker 1: got to be very chilly up in the Dakotas hunting
1:50
Speaker 1: in the late season. Um, I thought. I kept thinking
1:54
Speaker 1: and telling myself that if I could somehow managed to
1:56
Speaker 1: kill holy Field early in the month, I could still
1:59
Speaker 1: muster up a eight season North Dakota hunt. But I
2:03
Speaker 1: did think, man if I did that, I bet just
2:05
Speaker 1: just gonna be arctic. Um those late season hunts that
2:09
Speaker 1: they've got to be pretty brutal, right, yes, And it's
2:12
Speaker 1: like not so much the cold all the time. It's
2:16
Speaker 1: like the wind is that's what gets you. So if
2:20
Speaker 1: you're fifteen ft but tree, it's even worse. So that
2:23
Speaker 1: makes late season hunts here pretty rough. But if if
2:27
Speaker 1: you were doing that mark. If you were to take
2:29
Speaker 1: off for Ohio or North Dakota right now, you know,
2:33
Speaker 1: mid December, what would your speed scouting and your setups
2:36
Speaker 1: look like. You know, say, these are areas that you're
2:39
Speaker 1: not familiar with, and you're just going to hunt, you know,
2:41
Speaker 1: for the first time in a month in some of
2:44
Speaker 1: these places, in some of these places. Yeah, well, um,
2:47
Speaker 1: you know my plan right now would be to you know,
2:52
Speaker 1: hunt the cold fronts. So I'd be waiting for the
2:55
Speaker 1: right conditions. I think your your typical late season conditions
2:59
Speaker 1: that you want would be a really really cold type
3:03
Speaker 1: of temperature day, those big cold fronts where you see
3:05
Speaker 1: ten degrees are more colder than usual below average temperatures
3:09
Speaker 1: are what you really want. Um. And then I think
3:11
Speaker 1: that the best days are those where you get the
3:14
Speaker 1: winds kind of dying down after that front, your high pressure,
3:17
Speaker 1: high barometric pressure. Um. If you can get those types
3:21
Speaker 1: of conditions and then maybe even some snow on the ground,
3:24
Speaker 1: you know, that should be in an ideal type of situation.
3:27
Speaker 1: So that's what I'm kind of gunning for it this
3:30
Speaker 1: time of year. I'm looking for those conditions either here
3:32
Speaker 1: in Michigan or as you mentioned down Ohio. Um, when
3:37
Speaker 1: you get those conditions, then I'd be planning on trying
3:39
Speaker 1: to get into my best spots. And so you mentioned
3:42
Speaker 1: what kind of scouting would I do. Um, I would
3:44
Speaker 1: be doing some you know, trail camera scouting if I can. Um. So,
3:49
Speaker 1: right now, I've got troilt cameras set up on the
3:51
Speaker 1: edge of food sources, on the edge of late season
3:53
Speaker 1: food sources in places that I can easily get to them. Um.
3:57
Speaker 1: So if it's here, you know, on my home spots
3:59
Speaker 1: in Michigan, again, I can drive my truck or my
4:01
Speaker 1: four wheeler right to the edge of a cut corn
4:03
Speaker 1: field or food plot and check a trail camera. They're
4:05
Speaker 1: very low impact in the middle of the day. Um.
4:08
Speaker 1: Or you know, in a perfect scenario, you could have
4:10
Speaker 1: a cell phone trail camera, you know, for my out
4:13
Speaker 1: of state spots. Unfortunately, my my cell cameras don't work
4:16
Speaker 1: right now, so I'm blind in that regard. Um. But
4:20
Speaker 1: you know, I wouldn't be doing a whole lot more
4:22
Speaker 1: than that. The only other thing I would do. No,
4:24
Speaker 1: I can't do this in Ohio just because of the
4:27
Speaker 1: set up and because it's far from home. But I
4:29
Speaker 1: do this in one of my Michigan spots is some
4:31
Speaker 1: long distance scouting, you know, glassing from a hilltop or
4:34
Speaker 1: way off from the distance, just to get eyes under
4:37
Speaker 1: and see. You know. I just think that with these
4:40
Speaker 1: mature bucks in a lot of situations at this point,
4:42
Speaker 1: they're not going to um, they won't have the patients
4:47
Speaker 1: for hunting pressure. So if you go in there and
4:49
Speaker 1: bump them once, um, you know, there's a good chance
4:52
Speaker 1: that he just might not come back out there in daylight.
4:54
Speaker 1: So I think you need to wait to strike, even
4:57
Speaker 1: more so maybe at this time of the year than
4:59
Speaker 1: any other, simply because you're not gonna get many second chances.
5:02
Speaker 1: So if you can glass from a long distance and see, okay,
5:04
Speaker 1: yes the buck I'm after or amature buck is coming
5:07
Speaker 1: out in this spot, um, then you know, okay, yeah,
5:10
Speaker 1: it's time to go in there. But if you're bumbling
5:12
Speaker 1: in there every day, I think you blow your chances
5:14
Speaker 1: of success for the future. So um, that's kind of
5:18
Speaker 1: what I would typically do. UM. I don't think I'm
5:21
Speaker 1: gonna pull off the North Dakota hunt, like I mentioned
5:23
Speaker 1: in Michigan. That's what I've tried to do. I waited
5:25
Speaker 1: for this big coal front the hit last week. UM,
5:28
Speaker 1: I was hoping that that would get holy Field on
5:30
Speaker 1: his feet. UM. Unfortunately didn't. I hunted a couple of
5:34
Speaker 1: different spots with nice cold temperatures, we had snow on
5:38
Speaker 1: the ground. UM. I was hunting late season food. I
5:41
Speaker 1: hadn't been in there and almost a month, and uh man,
5:45
Speaker 1: it was just really really disappointing. Did not see him.
5:47
Speaker 1: Didn't see any bucks. Um every night, just saw some does.
5:52
Speaker 1: So that's unfortunately the late season in Michigan. A lot
5:56
Speaker 1: of times there's just been a almost a month of
5:59
Speaker 1: firearm on and going on here to this point. So
6:02
Speaker 1: these these deer have been kind of beaten into submission.
6:04
Speaker 1: So I think a lot of these bucks just go
6:06
Speaker 1: underground at this point. UM. So that's that's the cards
6:10
Speaker 1: I'm dealing with right now. UM. I hunted uh four
6:14
Speaker 1: or five times I think over the last like seven days,
6:17
Speaker 1: trying to take advantage of this these good conditions hasn't
6:20
Speaker 1: worked out. So I think I'm gonna pull back out
6:22
Speaker 1: and wait until I see another really good set of
6:25
Speaker 1: conditions coming down the line. Hopefully we get some really
6:28
Speaker 1: cool temperatures or a bunch of snow maybe next week
6:31
Speaker 1: or something like that and if that happens, it might
6:33
Speaker 1: be worth going in again, but I don't want to risk,
6:36
Speaker 1: you know, bumping in there too much now that I know,
6:39
Speaker 1: you know, there hasn't been a daylight activity yet, these
6:41
Speaker 1: conditions haven't gotten moving, so I'm just waiting for for
6:43
Speaker 1: a better reason now. So that's my two cents on
6:46
Speaker 1: at least. Yeah, I would agree that you just need
6:50
Speaker 1: to have some patience for a little longer because if
6:52
Speaker 1: you bump a deer at this point, you probably aren't
6:54
Speaker 1: gonna see him again until eighteen. So it's a tough
6:57
Speaker 1: time to be aggressive. But are their contacts and reports
7:01
Speaker 1: we have this week? Or Bryce Lamley from Sitka Gear
7:03
Speaker 1: and Nebraska that we talked to, Dan Weeks in Michigan
7:07
Speaker 1: from Nature's Pride Texas or me and then we go
7:08
Speaker 1: to Texas and from White Tailed Diaries is Wade Middleton,
7:12
Speaker 1: And then we talked to Josh Honeycutt in Kentucky from
7:15
Speaker 1: Real Tree. That sounds like a great slate folks talk to.
7:19
Speaker 1: I'll be interested to see how how everyone's doing. Hopefully
7:23
Speaker 1: there's more good news than uh what I had to share,
7:25
Speaker 1: since I haven't had any good news to share, But
7:29
Speaker 1: is there, Spencer, are some people looking forward to something
7:31
Speaker 1: good or is it all want want want stuff. It's
7:35
Speaker 1: mostly for the people in the Midwest and areas like
7:39
Speaker 1: that that are just waiting for weather, maybe some cold
7:43
Speaker 1: and snow to to heard these deer help and put
7:46
Speaker 1: them on you know, easy to pattern bed to food areas.
7:51
Speaker 1: And then when we talked to Wade in Texas, it's
7:53
Speaker 1: like the peak rout down there, so that's something we
7:55
Speaker 1: haven't heard in like a month now, so that that's
7:57
Speaker 1: fun to talk to him about that because that's that's
7:59
Speaker 1: really full and it feels like a whole other country.
8:01
Speaker 1: So well, I'm excited to hear and um, I guess
8:05
Speaker 1: I should probably just shut up now and let you
8:07
Speaker 1: take it from here. Sound good, Spenser, sounds good? With
8:10
Speaker 1: next week mark before we get to our first update, though,
8:13
Speaker 1: let's positive than our sponsors at Sitka year and for
8:17
Speaker 1: this week's sit story, we're joined by Caleb White out
8:19
Speaker 1: of Nebraska, who tells us about an unconventional yet successful
8:23
Speaker 1: white tail hunt. So one of my favorite stories in
8:26
Speaker 1: Best Bucks to date comes from public land hunt in
8:32
Speaker 1: Nebraska that I connected with on my bow right before
8:36
Speaker 1: the rifle season growing up in Nebraska. It's fun to
8:40
Speaker 1: chase white tails, especially spot stocking, which isn't easy and
8:45
Speaker 1: especially on public land. And the story goes um I
8:52
Speaker 1: was hunting through this goalie and came to an intersection
8:56
Speaker 1: t and I looked down towards the right, right before
9:00
Speaker 1: where the sun is coming up aero knock, ready to
9:02
Speaker 1: draw back at a moment's notice in this hut in
9:08
Speaker 1: white tailed dog and a dough stepped out of my
9:11
Speaker 1: peripheral vision to the left and just happened to pass by.
9:15
Speaker 1: I stop him drawback, and not knowing how far it was,
9:22
Speaker 1: he was within that twenty yard range true instantly and
9:26
Speaker 1: it's instinctively drew back on him and let a narrow
9:30
Speaker 1: lease and it ended up long star short being my
9:33
Speaker 1: best buck to day with a bow on public land
9:36
Speaker 1: in Nebraska. On Caleb's hunt, he was wearing sick a
9:40
Speaker 1: traverse top and bottom. If you'd like to create a
9:43
Speaker 1: sick of story of your own, or to learn more
9:45
Speaker 1: about Sitka's technical hunting apparel, visit Sitka gear dot com. Alright,
9:50
Speaker 1: and joining this on the line first in Nebraska, a
9:53
Speaker 1: Sitka gear Swatneimer Bryce Lanley now Bryce in Nebraska what
9:58
Speaker 1: would you say the bucket activity has been lately a
10:00
Speaker 1: scale of one to ten. I'd say five, which is
10:03
Speaker 1: actually pretty good for post rifle Nebraska this time of year. Well,
10:08
Speaker 1: our rifle season ended November nineteenth, and and it really
10:12
Speaker 1: seems to change the landscape around here in the deer
10:16
Speaker 1: really spooky and and they've been chased quite a bit,
10:19
Speaker 1: and they've seen a lot of hunting pressure. And then
10:22
Speaker 1: now the UM muzzle voter season starts December has started
10:26
Speaker 1: December one, and so the must voters and the bow
10:28
Speaker 1: hunters are both in the field right now. And I
10:30
Speaker 1: just think that there's, you know, been so much activity
10:33
Speaker 1: lately that it always seems a little taking a little
10:36
Speaker 1: while for the deer to kind of start returning to
10:38
Speaker 1: normal habits, even though the activity seems to drop off
10:41
Speaker 1: a bit. Have you heard of any success there from
10:43
Speaker 1: any of your contexts in Nebraska. Yeah, we've had. I
10:47
Speaker 1: mean I know several bow hunters who scored during the
10:51
Speaker 1: rifle season. Right afterwards, UM buddy of mine killed a
10:55
Speaker 1: nice one twenty, which is pretty good for his area.
10:57
Speaker 1: UM after rifle, and then another buddy months stick bow
11:00
Speaker 1: guy down by Lincoln killed a really nice matur one
11:04
Speaker 1: seven inch six by six Uh this this last Sunday,
11:08
Speaker 1: and it was following some doughes, he said, it wasn't
11:11
Speaker 1: really chasing them, but it was certainly following some does.
11:13
Speaker 1: And so yeah, I think there's still a lot of
11:16
Speaker 1: reason to be out in the field. Well, as we
11:18
Speaker 1: get into this late season, what are some of your
11:20
Speaker 1: favorite food sources to focus on in the agriculture state
11:24
Speaker 1: like Nebraska. Well, corn, Uh, we don't. We don't see
11:29
Speaker 1: as much beans here in eastern Nebraska as we used
11:31
Speaker 1: to and hardly see any milo And I think if
11:34
Speaker 1: you went further west you'd see one of that. But
11:36
Speaker 1: one of the things that might make late season hunting
11:39
Speaker 1: better this year than normal is that we had the
11:41
Speaker 1: two really big windstorms in in the um in the
11:45
Speaker 1: latter stages of the harvest, and that put a ton
11:48
Speaker 1: of corn on the ground that farmers were not able
11:50
Speaker 1: to harvest. And so if that was a situation in
11:54
Speaker 1: your area, there's a lot of corn on the ground
11:57
Speaker 1: and if the farmers didn't just that ground up right,
12:00
Speaker 1: provide some really good late season hunting. What do you
12:04
Speaker 1: prefer hunting just the evenings this time of year? Do
12:07
Speaker 1: you have some morning setups that you think work. I
12:10
Speaker 1: think both, but I it just seems to me like
12:13
Speaker 1: the mornings are more hit and miss and the evenings
12:15
Speaker 1: are a little bit more consistent. And so sometimes I think,
12:19
Speaker 1: you know, if you're usually trying to get in between
12:20
Speaker 1: the the you know, deer when they're returning to their
12:24
Speaker 1: beds in the morning, and you and you screw that up,
12:27
Speaker 1: you also probably messed up your evening hunt, and so
12:29
Speaker 1: you have to be really careful, which is you know,
12:31
Speaker 1: obviously the case any time of a year, but I
12:33
Speaker 1: think especially so this time of years, it's very feast
12:35
Speaker 1: for famine, and so you know, if my guy might
12:39
Speaker 1: feel a little lazy saying, well, I'm gonna wait till
12:41
Speaker 1: the evening, it's gonna be forty five degrees in anyway,
12:43
Speaker 1: but it might be the smartest move morning hunts. I
12:46
Speaker 1: think again, keep in mind that you you've got to
12:49
Speaker 1: be really stealthy and maybe also keep in mind which
12:53
Speaker 1: direction the sun is, and so if the deal has
12:55
Speaker 1: a preference, um, it might be wanting to go, um,
13:00
Speaker 1: put the sun to his back so we can better
13:02
Speaker 1: see where he's going. Um. That's another thing to kind
13:05
Speaker 1: of consider with your morning setups. I think, are there
13:08
Speaker 1: any aggressive rout tactics that you use this time of
13:11
Speaker 1: year as far as calling, grunting decoy and hunting scrapes?
13:16
Speaker 1: You know, myself not so much, but some of the
13:20
Speaker 1: guys I correspond with a lot to you know, yeah,
13:23
Speaker 1: the decoy. One guy takes decoy out all the time
13:26
Speaker 1: and gets a lot of activity with it. And I
13:28
Speaker 1: think sometimes you know, um like, even in a field
13:32
Speaker 1: hunting situation, having a decoy out there gives the deer
13:35
Speaker 1: something else to look at and maybe get let's you
13:38
Speaker 1: get by with a little bit more movement when there's
13:41
Speaker 1: not as many leaves on the trees and that type
13:42
Speaker 1: of thing. We are seeing too that there's still some
13:45
Speaker 1: rut action. We saw our trail cameras between December one
13:49
Speaker 1: and ten were full of pictures, including pictures of new
13:53
Speaker 1: bucks that have come in that we haven't seen all year.
13:56
Speaker 1: And so I think there is still enough rutting activity
14:00
Speaker 1: that the grunts are working and snort weez, you know,
14:05
Speaker 1: when when appropriate. And again we've talked a lot of
14:08
Speaker 1: times about how if a deer is if a deer
14:12
Speaker 1: is um aware of what's going on or has sniffed
14:16
Speaker 1: something we don't call it those deer at all. But
14:18
Speaker 1: if a deer is unaware, um, we think the snort
14:21
Speaker 1: wee's and the ground is still pretty good going forward.
14:25
Speaker 1: Then in this next week or so, what do you
14:26
Speaker 1: think that bucket ATVT is going to be on a
14:28
Speaker 1: scale of one to ten? In Nebraska? I still say five,
14:33
Speaker 1: partially because I think we've still got a few a
14:36
Speaker 1: little bit of rud action, but we just don't have
14:38
Speaker 1: the the cold weather yet and it's just not happening
14:41
Speaker 1: in the long range forecast. Doesn't look like it's going
14:44
Speaker 1: to really get dip down either. That said, if we
14:47
Speaker 1: get some cold weather, I think you can still get
14:49
Speaker 1: up to a six or seven, um, because there's so
14:52
Speaker 1: much h corn on the ground still hear in lots
14:55
Speaker 1: of eastern Nebraska. All right, Bryce, great intail and thanks
14:59
Speaker 1: for your time, So thank you alright and joining us
15:03
Speaker 1: on the line. Next in Michigan is Dan Weeks, the
15:07
Speaker 1: owner of Nature's Pride Taxa. Now, Dan, in Michigan, what
15:11
Speaker 1: would you say the bucket activity has been lately on
15:13
Speaker 1: a scale of one to ten? Say? For the yeah,
15:17
Speaker 1: for right now with the muzzleload season that's been going
15:19
Speaker 1: on probably about I think we're about just over a
15:22
Speaker 1: week into it. Um I would compare to a lot
15:25
Speaker 1: of the other seasons, I'm saying that we're right about
15:28
Speaker 1: a seven I would think right now for buck activity.
15:31
Speaker 1: The reason being is there's a lot of times we'll
15:33
Speaker 1: go through a entire two week month load and season
15:36
Speaker 1: and maybe take in a half a dozen eight good
15:39
Speaker 1: mature bucks. And we've been taken in pretty consistently about
15:42
Speaker 1: two to three nice bucks every day, so and and
15:45
Speaker 1: they've all been in that three and a half four
15:47
Speaker 1: and a half year old range. And so I would
15:50
Speaker 1: say right now at ten compared to most muslevel the seasons,
15:53
Speaker 1: out of ten, i'd say a seven right now. Now,
15:56
Speaker 1: have you noticed any kind of pattern with those bucks
15:58
Speaker 1: that are coming in as far as what the hunters
16:00
Speaker 1: are doing? Yeah, you know, Spencer, what I've been seeing.
16:04
Speaker 1: And I asked every guy that brings in the deer,
16:06
Speaker 1: I asked them, you know, different questions, what time, what
16:09
Speaker 1: was the deer doing? What we where were you sitting,
16:11
Speaker 1: what kind of habitat? Were you on the edge of
16:13
Speaker 1: a field and swamp? The majority of the guys that
16:15
Speaker 1: are shooting the nice bucks are right now are on
16:17
Speaker 1: the edge of bean fields cut being fields. Um, you
16:21
Speaker 1: don't see many many standing crops right now. They're pretty
16:23
Speaker 1: much cut. But we have probably fifty fifty of corn
16:27
Speaker 1: and beans beans as far as kind of our area
16:29
Speaker 1: here in southern Michigan. But the majority of them are
16:31
Speaker 1: set up a long, thick cover but on the edge
16:34
Speaker 1: of a cut being field. And right now it's been
16:37
Speaker 1: evening hunts that the guys have been harvesting their deer.
16:40
Speaker 1: So I would say, you know, right now, that's the
16:42
Speaker 1: pattern I'm kind of seeing as the last probably fifteen
16:45
Speaker 1: minutes of light um in the majority of the bucks
16:47
Speaker 1: that have been killed lately have been uh seen with
16:51
Speaker 1: those with groups of bells, usually two or more doughs.
16:54
Speaker 1: So we had another nights from Broadway last night the
16:56
Speaker 1: same thing. Guy was in a hederow deer two mature
17:00
Speaker 1: bucks came out, came out of a thick swamp and
17:03
Speaker 1: came into a bean field and it was with a
17:05
Speaker 1: big group of doos. So it's been pretty consistent that way. Um.
17:08
Speaker 1: I know a lot of guys can't hunt till evening
17:10
Speaker 1: right now because the word but I seemed like the
17:13
Speaker 1: evening hunts a long bean fields are really what's up.
17:16
Speaker 1: Its been good for the guys. Have you noticed any
17:19
Speaker 1: kind of trend then with public land hunters or is
17:21
Speaker 1: it kind of the same setups for them? Well, we
17:23
Speaker 1: don't have a lot of public land in this area. Uh,
17:26
Speaker 1: there's one piece that's a couple of thousand acres. It's
17:29
Speaker 1: probably an hour northeast of here. So I don't get
17:32
Speaker 1: many hunters that you know, to to talk to them
17:34
Speaker 1: about public land. So I'm saying almost a hundred percent
17:38
Speaker 1: of all the deer being brought into our shop right
17:40
Speaker 1: now our private land, and it's you know, within an
17:44
Speaker 1: hour of where we are here in south central Michigan.
17:47
Speaker 1: But so yeah, I don't get a lot of information
17:50
Speaker 1: from public land. It's because we don't really have out
17:52
Speaker 1: here in southern Michigan. Well, based on where the deer
17:55
Speaker 1: are betting and feeding right now, do you think lots
17:58
Speaker 1: going to change in these next three weeks or still
18:00
Speaker 1: or do you think that will remain pretty consistent. I
18:03
Speaker 1: think it's going to be remaining pretty consistent. Um, you
18:06
Speaker 1: know a lot of seasons this late we don't have
18:09
Speaker 1: the cold and snow, but here in Mission we've had
18:11
Speaker 1: the cold and snow, so that has forced them to,
18:14
Speaker 1: you know, kind of change your patterns and come to
18:16
Speaker 1: the beans and the corn, mostly the beans. But I
18:19
Speaker 1: think the ruts still really going on pretty decent, not
18:22
Speaker 1: you know, not great. You don't see the little guys
18:24
Speaker 1: doing doing much, but uh, you know a lot of
18:26
Speaker 1: guys have a lot of the hunters have been still
18:28
Speaker 1: seeing uh bucks chasing those and with those I've seen
18:32
Speaker 1: open myself, I've actually noticed open scrapes that were being
18:35
Speaker 1: opened up in the snow, scrapes that haven't been opened
18:38
Speaker 1: up in three to four, probably three weeks um, so
18:41
Speaker 1: that that activity start, you know, that's still continuing right now.
18:44
Speaker 1: So I really don't see a change in the pattern,
18:46
Speaker 1: especially with the for us, we have the snows that's
18:49
Speaker 1: gonna stick for a while and these cold temperatures, So
18:52
Speaker 1: I think, uh, you know, I think that's it's kind
18:54
Speaker 1: of speaking for itself with what these guys are bringing
18:57
Speaker 1: in and that these last for us. We think next
18:59
Speaker 1: Sunday is the last day or month loading season. So
19:02
Speaker 1: I think for southern Michigan it's you know, still a
19:04
Speaker 1: really good opportunity for hunters to get out there and
19:07
Speaker 1: get a chance to tag a good buck. Going forward,
19:09
Speaker 1: then in the next week or so, Dan, what do
19:11
Speaker 1: you think that bucket activity is going to be on
19:13
Speaker 1: the scale of one to ten, one to ten, I
19:16
Speaker 1: would say probably gonna go down a little, maybe two
19:19
Speaker 1: of five or six. That's my that's kind of my
19:22
Speaker 1: personal opinion and what we've seen in the past, and
19:24
Speaker 1: just because I think the rut is going to probably
19:27
Speaker 1: in the last few days of it, and so for
19:29
Speaker 1: the next week ten days, I'd say it's gonna go
19:31
Speaker 1: down from a seven now to probably a five or six.
19:35
Speaker 1: All right, Dan, Well, I hope you get a chance
19:36
Speaker 1: to get out yourself and maybe take advantage of that
19:38
Speaker 1: muzzleloader season. Thanks for joining me. Yep, thank you, Spencer.
19:42
Speaker 1: Good luck to you. Before we get to our next collar,
19:46
Speaker 1: they'll let's pause for a word from our sponsors at
19:48
Speaker 1: white Tail Properties. This week. With white Tail Properties, we
19:52
Speaker 1: are drawn by Blake Farah, a land specialist out of Texas,
19:56
Speaker 1: and Blake gets me telling us about what white tail
19:58
Speaker 1: hunters should know before planning a Texas hunt. You know,
20:03
Speaker 1: I think the probably one of the biggest misconception I
20:07
Speaker 1: guess about hunting in Texas is that they've seen one
20:11
Speaker 1: or two hunts on TV and they assume that's the
20:13
Speaker 1: entire state of Texas, and I would tell you that, Uh,
20:16
Speaker 1: you know, one of the great one of the greatest
20:18
Speaker 1: things about hunting in Texas the massive amount of diversity
20:21
Speaker 1: that you have depending on your geographical location in the state,
20:25
Speaker 1: So you can have any different experience as far as
20:27
Speaker 1: white tail hunting goes all across the state. It kind
20:30
Speaker 1: of functions as four or five separate states entirely according
20:34
Speaker 1: to habitat, location, topography, terrain. Uh, you know, all of
20:38
Speaker 1: those things that you would kind of classify the Midwest
20:42
Speaker 1: or you know, even farther out west doing some Elkhonts
20:44
Speaker 1: or something like that. And Texas has such a big
20:47
Speaker 1: diversity of things that you can really find really whatever
20:50
Speaker 1: experience you're looking for, and just driving two or three
20:52
Speaker 1: hours in any given direction, you can have completely different
20:56
Speaker 1: types of hunting. I'd say the main regions of Texas
20:59
Speaker 1: can kind of break down into what everybody knows. In
21:01
Speaker 1: South Texas's kind of South San Antonio characterized by the
21:05
Speaker 1: classic South Texas brush country, big wide, tall white tails,
21:10
Speaker 1: very mature. You can have great age structure because the
21:12
Speaker 1: ranches are huge. You've also got kind of the panhandle
21:15
Speaker 1: where it's more of the kind of the Kansas Oklahoma
21:17
Speaker 1: strain of white tail, a little bit more of the
21:19
Speaker 1: river break country, big draws, big cuts, wide open country.
21:23
Speaker 1: You've also got West Texas with huge canyons, um a
21:27
Speaker 1: lot more of the spot and stock type country out there.
21:30
Speaker 1: And then you've also got East Texas where you've got
21:32
Speaker 1: huge timber and you've got large timber stands and you
21:35
Speaker 1: could actually have and grow some crops and have some
21:37
Speaker 1: tillable and uh, you know, just a huge diversity across
21:41
Speaker 1: the state. If you'd like to learn more or to
21:44
Speaker 1: see the properties that Blake currently has listed for sale,
21:47
Speaker 1: visit white Tail properties dot com. Backslash Faarah that's f
21:52
Speaker 1: A R R A R alright and joining us on
21:56
Speaker 1: the line. Next out of Texas is the host of
21:59
Speaker 1: white Tail Diet. He's Wade Middleton, now Wade in Texas.
22:03
Speaker 1: What would you say the buck activity has been lately
22:05
Speaker 1: on a scale of one to ten, I'd have to
22:08
Speaker 1: give it where we're at, which is in and around
22:10
Speaker 1: the Del Rio area in eight plus. I mean, we're
22:13
Speaker 1: seeing new deer every day right now, very active um
22:17
Speaker 1: as far as you know, showing themselves some daylight hours
22:20
Speaker 1: with every hunter loves and seeing a lot of chase
22:23
Speaker 1: in activity, you know, both by immature bucks and mature buck. Well, Wade,
22:28
Speaker 1: what part of the route would you say that you
22:30
Speaker 1: guys are in as far as labeling go, as peak, rought,
22:33
Speaker 1: pre rot, what post rout, what do you think it is?
22:37
Speaker 1: You know, I've always hated the label and talking absolutes
22:40
Speaker 1: when it comes to here, because always proved myself wrong
22:42
Speaker 1: the more times I'm out there. But you know, I
22:45
Speaker 1: would look at the places that I've been seeing in
22:47
Speaker 1: the last couple of days as being in the peak
22:49
Speaker 1: right now, um, just based on the activity. I mean,
22:52
Speaker 1: yesterday we had a ten point buck, you know, breeding
22:55
Speaker 1: a dough he extra try breeder twice and got her
22:58
Speaker 1: the third time. And you know we're seeing deer on
23:01
Speaker 1: our scouting cameras where they're running them and just very
23:03
Speaker 1: active all the way around. So you know, I'm gonna
23:06
Speaker 1: have to say we're right at the peak at least
23:08
Speaker 1: in the area that I've seen. But you know, Texas
23:11
Speaker 1: is such a big, vast area, and you know, when
23:14
Speaker 1: I may be seen it on one end of a pasture,
23:16
Speaker 1: it may not be going on on the other or
23:18
Speaker 1: the other end of the county, so I always keep
23:20
Speaker 1: that in mind when i'm, you know, looking at hunting
23:23
Speaker 1: this time of the year. Well, you just referenced trail cameras.
23:26
Speaker 1: What are you doing with your game cameras this time
23:28
Speaker 1: of year? Do you move them off of feeders and
23:30
Speaker 1: into other areas or is it the same things it's
23:32
Speaker 1: been for the last month. I keep moving them all
23:36
Speaker 1: the time. I mean, of course, I'm I'm a trail
23:39
Speaker 1: cam junkie. I mean I literally will run as many
23:41
Speaker 1: as forty cameras at a time, espacially in the early season.
23:45
Speaker 1: This time of the year, I'm probably running because you know,
23:48
Speaker 1: we've got so much going on, and I move them daily.
23:51
Speaker 1: I mean I moved them sometimes half the day, just
23:54
Speaker 1: trying to find something new, trying to find something that's
23:56
Speaker 1: going on. Um and you know, we're hunting about eteen
24:00
Speaker 1: thousand acres out here right now, so that gives us
24:02
Speaker 1: the ability to do that and move around a lot.
24:06
Speaker 1: I may meve moving on the food plots. I've got
24:08
Speaker 1: something I just moved this morning to a pipeline trying
24:10
Speaker 1: to look for a thirty buck. And you know, Texas
24:13
Speaker 1: is known for running around corn feders. I always keep
24:15
Speaker 1: some around thirty corn feeders for protein on demand protein feeders,
24:19
Speaker 1: so I can, you know, just gaze the activity, see
24:22
Speaker 1: what they're doing, see what they're hitting, and see how
24:23
Speaker 1: they're acting. Running that many trail cameras and do you
24:26
Speaker 1: still find some new bucks that show up during the
24:29
Speaker 1: route that you didn't know about. Oh that's the beauty
24:32
Speaker 1: of you know where we're at. I'm always surprised. We
24:35
Speaker 1: had a deer just recently show up. Never seen it
24:38
Speaker 1: before in my life. We've hunted the pipeline, uh, you
24:42
Speaker 1: know for almost ten years, and I always have a
24:45
Speaker 1: camera in this area, very religious about it. We hunt
24:48
Speaker 1: that area and then low my hole, you know, a
24:51
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, pull the card and there's a giant,
24:54
Speaker 1: big old eight point long G twos and three has
24:56
Speaker 1: never seen you before, six year old probably deer. And
25:00
Speaker 1: that's why I run them, because I you know, you
25:02
Speaker 1: never know what's gonna show up this time of year.
25:04
Speaker 1: Don't know where that deer came from or what caused
25:07
Speaker 1: him to show up on that stand, but he's there.
25:10
Speaker 1: The way to believe you guys just got some snow
25:12
Speaker 1: down there recently, and such a foreign weather pattern for
25:15
Speaker 1: your dear, How do you think that changes things, if
25:17
Speaker 1: it changes things at all, Well, I gotta admit that
25:21
Speaker 1: I'm pretty safe. So when that snow rolled in, it
25:23
Speaker 1: was it was dust to beat even want to get
25:25
Speaker 1: out there. And I've always said that deer in this
25:28
Speaker 1: part of the world, when he gets too cold, they
25:31
Speaker 1: actually don't like to move at that time. And people
25:34
Speaker 1: roll their eyes when I say that, because they're so
25:36
Speaker 1: accustoms like good cold snap making a lot of those
25:39
Speaker 1: deer move, And it does, but I think it moves
25:42
Speaker 1: them later in the day A lot of times here
25:44
Speaker 1: because they're just not used to temperatures below thirty two.
25:47
Speaker 1: We maybe see that type of temperature range four or five,
25:51
Speaker 1: you know, days a year in the in the early
25:54
Speaker 1: season and late season we may see a little bit more. So, um,
25:57
Speaker 1: it definitely affects them a little bit, but it doesn't
26:00
Speaker 1: take I mean, infectas you just got away a few
26:02
Speaker 1: hours and we're gonna be back in in pretty mild conditions.
26:05
Speaker 1: Are you hunting pretty aggressive? Then? Right now using some
26:08
Speaker 1: calling and decoing strategies. Rattling, I mean to sun up
26:12
Speaker 1: the sundown and go rattling, because that's my favorite way
26:15
Speaker 1: to aggressively hunt um cover a lot of ground, try
26:19
Speaker 1: to get in different places, be at betting areas, feeding areas,
26:22
Speaker 1: areas where I know that there's a lot of actos
26:25
Speaker 1: in there, and uh, and in banging the antlers. I mean,
26:28
Speaker 1: it's just even if I'm only rattling and teenager, you know,
26:32
Speaker 1: from the standpoint of one to three year old bucks,
26:34
Speaker 1: just the way they react, on the way they come.
26:36
Speaker 1: Definitely mixing a little bit of grunting, but mostly I
26:39
Speaker 1: hit the antlers and I have them really hard. I'm
26:41
Speaker 1: I'm a very rested rattler this time of the year.
26:44
Speaker 1: I mean I will bing into the trees. I kicked
26:46
Speaker 1: the rocks. You know, I want to look like two
26:48
Speaker 1: mature bucks. I want to sound like two mature bucks
26:51
Speaker 1: out there. And Saturday, this past Saturday, we actually rattled
26:55
Speaker 1: one in for a hang gun hunter Tony Meeley from
26:57
Speaker 1: US Smith West Performance Center, and it seem gonna be
27:01
Speaker 1: he had to shoot that deer that they was gonna
27:02
Speaker 1: take me out because he take me in on a
27:05
Speaker 1: dead run with just i mean fire in his eyes.
27:09
Speaker 1: Going forward, then in this next week or so, what
27:11
Speaker 1: do you think that buck activity is going to be
27:13
Speaker 1: on a scale of one to ten in Texas, I
27:16
Speaker 1: think you're still going to be in a phenomenal a
27:18
Speaker 1: movement pattern seven to nine. I mean, it's like you said,
27:21
Speaker 1: I hate the fucking absolute that we're just setting up
27:24
Speaker 1: in the time of the year when the deer are
27:26
Speaker 1: are moving. You're still gonna be some good chasing going on,
27:29
Speaker 1: and uh, the guys are gonna have success to get
27:32
Speaker 1: out in hunt hard. All right, Wade, Well, I like
27:35
Speaker 1: your optimism and good luck going forward. Thanks for joining me.
27:38
Speaker 1: Sounds good. I appreciate it. Thanks Peter, alright and joining
27:42
Speaker 1: us on the line. Next is the deer editor for
27:44
Speaker 1: Real Tree, Josh Honeycutt. Now, Josh in Kentucky, what would
27:48
Speaker 1: you say the buck activity has been lately on a
27:50
Speaker 1: skill of one to ten. Well, daylight activity has been
27:55
Speaker 1: really good. I would say just just pure daylight activity
27:58
Speaker 1: has probably been about US seven uh, seven to a eight.
28:02
Speaker 1: With all this cold weather, this cold front that we've
28:04
Speaker 1: had pushed through the last few days. As far as
28:07
Speaker 1: rud activity, that has significantly declined down to like a
28:12
Speaker 1: probably a two uh this time of year. What is
28:16
Speaker 1: that seven for daylight movement? Is that what you'd expect
28:19
Speaker 1: to see in mid December like this. Well, if as
28:24
Speaker 1: long as we get the weather, it really all just
28:26
Speaker 1: comes down to the weather. If you get the weather,
28:28
Speaker 1: you get the movement. Uh, you know, And right now
28:30
Speaker 1: we've I've been out quite a bit for the last
28:33
Speaker 1: six six to seven days. I've not personally been hunting,
28:35
Speaker 1: but I've been taking the first time deer hunters I was.
28:38
Speaker 1: Fortunately i filled my buck tag earlier in the season,
28:42
Speaker 1: so I've just been kind of hanging out and taking people.
28:44
Speaker 1: And I've been seeing a lot of deer on their feet,
28:47
Speaker 1: a lot of deer on their feet, a lot of
28:49
Speaker 1: deer moving like set it's probably about seven to eight
28:51
Speaker 1: and I would expect that this time of year as
28:53
Speaker 1: long as we have whether to encourage those deer up
28:56
Speaker 1: during daylight. Well, what are some of your favorite setups
28:59
Speaker 1: and to catch some of the day like movement. Well,
29:02
Speaker 1: every situation is different. Um. I try not to get
29:05
Speaker 1: pigeonholed into any particular tactic. I like to read whatever
29:09
Speaker 1: situation I'm in and kind of analyze it, uh and
29:13
Speaker 1: figure out what the best approach is gonna be. But
29:15
Speaker 1: on the average, you know, the typical set up, I
29:17
Speaker 1: don't hunt mornings as much of this time of year, Uh,
29:20
Speaker 1: I kind of cut back on h the amount of
29:23
Speaker 1: morning hunting unless I know there is a particular deer
29:26
Speaker 1: that I can kill on the morning. Huh. So every
29:28
Speaker 1: situation is different, but uh, the average set up this
29:32
Speaker 1: time of year is gonna be an afternoon hunt. It's
29:34
Speaker 1: gonna be set up closer to food and bed uh
29:37
Speaker 1: than the betting area. And you know, if if I'm hunting,
29:41
Speaker 1: you know, if I hunted a day or two, if
29:42
Speaker 1: I already know that the deer aren't quite making it
29:44
Speaker 1: to the food sources during daylight, then I kind of
29:47
Speaker 1: start eating back to one those betting areas. But this
29:49
Speaker 1: time of year, you can rely on your early season
29:52
Speaker 1: scouting uh to give you a little bit of a
29:55
Speaker 1: of a of a advantage when you go into your
29:58
Speaker 1: late season scouting. Was a lot of time do your
30:00
Speaker 1: kind of revert to their uh early season and pre
30:03
Speaker 1: red patterns. So this time of you're focus on food. Uh,
30:06
Speaker 1: get close to those betting areas if you have to,
30:09
Speaker 1: but don't pressure the deer unless you just absolutely have
30:12
Speaker 1: to get aggressive. Now, have you seen any secondary rut
30:15
Speaker 1: activity yet or do you think that's still to come
30:18
Speaker 1: in Kentucky. Uh. Here in Kentucky, I've been I do
30:23
Speaker 1: hunt up in Ohio, and I've seen quite a bit
30:24
Speaker 1: up there, but not much here in Kentucky. The last
30:27
Speaker 1: few days, Um, I've been seeing a lot of bucks
30:30
Speaker 1: and does out of the fields together. No bucks. You know,
30:33
Speaker 1: both the young bucks and uh more mature deer haven't
30:37
Speaker 1: been seeing any bucks bumping does. Even the young bucks
30:40
Speaker 1: haven't even seen them nudging does. Um. You know, I
30:44
Speaker 1: generally this time of year, somewhere between December five and
30:49
Speaker 1: kind of ranges or varies because of somewhere between the
30:52
Speaker 1: fifth and the twenties, we typically see a pretty good
30:55
Speaker 1: little burst of rud activity. Uh. And you know a
30:58
Speaker 1: lot of those doughs that were missed to November, a
31:01
Speaker 1: lot of your younger does that are just coming in
31:03
Speaker 1: nests for the first time if they reach that white
31:05
Speaker 1: threshold that they need to uh in order to do so.
31:09
Speaker 1: I haven't seen that yet in Kentucky. So my gut
31:13
Speaker 1: tells me that it's still to come here in Kentucky. UM,
31:17
Speaker 1: I've been checking. Trull camera has been in the field
31:19
Speaker 1: watching and I have not seen any evidence through either
31:23
Speaker 1: of those uh. Scouting methods that we've hit that second rut. Uh.
31:28
Speaker 1: My guess is that's gonna happen sometime uh within the
31:31
Speaker 1: next eight to nine days. Probably a little sooner than that,
31:34
Speaker 1: probably within the next three or four days. Um, but
31:37
Speaker 1: you just never know for sure. We've talked a lot
31:40
Speaker 1: about food sources so far, and what are your some
31:42
Speaker 1: of your favorite food sources in that area to focus
31:44
Speaker 1: on in December. Well, you know, I'm I'm in an area.
31:49
Speaker 1: I'm in south central Kentucky, so I'm kind of blessed
31:51
Speaker 1: without a lot of agriculture around here. So it makes
31:54
Speaker 1: things a little bit easier than if you're hunting the
31:56
Speaker 1: big woods of eastern Kentucky, you know, in the out
32:00
Speaker 1: in this terrain over there in the foothills of the Appalachians.
32:02
Speaker 1: It's a little bit different style of hunting. So again,
32:04
Speaker 1: it's just kind of it kind of falls back to
32:06
Speaker 1: the specific style of hunting that you that you have
32:09
Speaker 1: where I'm at, I'm focusing on sore beans, um corn
32:13
Speaker 1: uh and and this time of the year that can
32:15
Speaker 1: either be cut beans and cut corn. As long as
32:18
Speaker 1: those enough wastecreen on the ground that the deer still
32:20
Speaker 1: hitting those maybe your the farmer had a combine that's
32:24
Speaker 1: not as new and some hit the ground or it
32:26
Speaker 1: was damaged crops, and you know which was led to
32:29
Speaker 1: more of it hitting the ground. But this time of years,
32:32
Speaker 1: standing beings, standing corn, If you've got that, then that's
32:35
Speaker 1: the ticket. UM. A lot of people who planting food.
32:38
Speaker 1: Plus these days, I really like brass, the coast turnips, radishes,
32:41
Speaker 1: uh this time of year because of the gluecoast levels
32:44
Speaker 1: and those are you know, skyrocketing from them, the colder
32:47
Speaker 1: temperatures and the deer really hitting those hard. Uh. And
32:50
Speaker 1: don't forget to go naturally, you know, I think in
32:51
Speaker 1: today's age, a lot of deer hunters forget to focus
32:55
Speaker 1: on natural um native brows, you know, this time of
32:59
Speaker 1: year that what they naturally live off of. They'll live
33:02
Speaker 1: off of the remaining hard mass crops that's still on
33:05
Speaker 1: the ground, which we didn't have a ton of at
33:07
Speaker 1: least in the area that I'm in this year. So
33:09
Speaker 1: I wouldn't expect for them to be focusing on too
33:11
Speaker 1: much on acorns. But you know, it's just woody Brown's,
33:15
Speaker 1: you know, just getting back to the basics. You don't
33:17
Speaker 1: forget that too, So focus on act if you forgot it.
33:20
Speaker 1: But if you don't have it, focus on the native brows.
33:22
Speaker 1: Get up there a get boots on the ground, do
33:23
Speaker 1: a little bit of low impact scouting, can figure out
33:25
Speaker 1: where the deer are feeding up going forward. Then this
33:29
Speaker 1: next week or so, Josh, what do you think that
33:31
Speaker 1: buck activity is going to be on the skill of
33:33
Speaker 1: one to ten in Kentucky. I think it's gonna it's
33:36
Speaker 1: gonna die down a little bit in the middle of
33:38
Speaker 1: this week because we're gonna hit a little bit of
33:40
Speaker 1: a warm well. I think take that back that should
33:43
Speaker 1: continue to climb. Uh. Just looked at the weather, so
33:47
Speaker 1: excuse me there, miss Boke. I looked at the weather
33:49
Speaker 1: this morning. The buck activity just in ship daylight, deer
33:54
Speaker 1: activities should keep increasing, shoot, increase until probably Wednesday or
33:59
Speaker 1: Thursday kind of peak out, and then it's probably gonna
34:01
Speaker 1: fall off a little bit going into the weekend because
34:04
Speaker 1: we're gonna be warming up. It's gonna warm up, get
34:06
Speaker 1: back up towards the late the high forties, pushing towards
34:10
Speaker 1: fifty down here in Kentucky towards Saturday Sunday. So I
34:14
Speaker 1: would think if you can get out in the woods
34:16
Speaker 1: of an afternoon after work this week, do it because
34:19
Speaker 1: the weekend may not be as good I was safe
34:21
Speaker 1: for probably Wednesday Thursday. I'm gonna say it's probably gonna
34:24
Speaker 1: be around eight eight and a half and uh then
34:27
Speaker 1: towards the weekend it's probably gonna fall back down to
34:29
Speaker 1: a five or six. All right, Joshuall congrats, I'm getting
34:32
