Speaker 1: Welcome to Wired to Hunts rut Fresh Radio, bringing you
0:05
Speaker 1: the latest reports from the white tailed woods and now
0:08
Speaker 1: your host, Spencer new Hearth. This is Wired d Hunt's
0:16
Speaker 1: rout Fresh Radio powered by First Light, and this week
0:19
Speaker 1: we're covering the rutting move. This is Wired to Hunt's
0:37
Speaker 1: rut Fresh Radio. And this is episode four hundred seventy
0:41
Speaker 1: two and today I am joined by Mark Kenyon. And Mark,
0:44
Speaker 1: you'll be happy to know that I had like my
0:46
Speaker 1: first white tail action over the weekend. It's been a
0:49
Speaker 1: long time coming for me this fall. Finally, yeah, finally,
0:53
Speaker 1: I spent a couple of evenings glassing some pastures here
0:55
Speaker 1: in Montana that will be deer hunting next week for
0:59
Speaker 1: a thing that we're filled for Meat Eater and Wire
1:01
Speaker 1: to Hunt. Um. And what I could say to summarize
1:05
Speaker 1: the action was this, it was like textbook October twenty
1:09
Speaker 1: four activity. Um doe started filing into the food for
1:15
Speaker 1: the like last two hours of daylight, and at like sunset,
1:20
Speaker 1: finally the bucks started coming into the food as well
1:22
Speaker 1: and increasingly got bigger as shooting light disappeared. And and
1:27
Speaker 1: to me, that's just like textbook late October with no
1:31
Speaker 1: outside um factors as far as hunting pressure or a
1:37
Speaker 1: strange moon or really warm weather, really cold weather, or
1:40
Speaker 1: anything like that. It just felt very much like late
1:44
Speaker 1: October to me. And I guess what I think that
1:46
Speaker 1: means is when I am hunting in a week, like
1:48
Speaker 1: those bucks that were showing up at sunset are now
1:50
Speaker 1: going to be showing up thirty minutes before sunset. And
1:53
Speaker 1: uh instead of the biggest ones not rolling out until
1:56
Speaker 1: a few minutes to shooting light left, they might be out,
1:59
Speaker 1: you know, with thirty it's a shooting light left or
2:01
Speaker 1: something like that. So it gives me some optimism, especially
2:04
Speaker 1: when I look at the forecast and see some very
2:06
Speaker 1: monotonous weather that we've been used to this fall as
2:10
Speaker 1: white tail hunters. And I think you were also out
2:13
Speaker 1: this weekend or probably for the whole week. Okay, whoa, whoa, whoa,
2:17
Speaker 1: whoa whoa. Before before you go pushing to me, I
2:20
Speaker 1: gotta find out, what did you see, Like, did you
2:22
Speaker 1: see some shooters? I saw a buck that I would
2:26
Speaker 1: identify as a shooter, probably like a hunter and thirty
2:30
Speaker 1: five inch five by five um for Montana, it's probably
2:33
Speaker 1: like a three and a half or four and a
2:35
Speaker 1: half year old deer buck. I would totally shoot the
2:38
Speaker 1: other bucks that I saw, Um, we're basket racks, spikes, um,
2:42
Speaker 1: some like two and a half year old mule deer um.
2:46
Speaker 1: So one one buck that got me excited that, Like
2:49
Speaker 1: I said, he showed up very late into shooting light.
2:52
Speaker 1: But I think a week from now he'll he'll be
2:53
Speaker 1: out sooner than that. Cool. Well, you know, speaking of
2:56
Speaker 1: this hunt, I think we can tease what we're doing.
3:00
Speaker 1: I think at this point we should clue folks in
3:02
Speaker 1: the fact that we've got a very cool project coming
3:05
Speaker 1: up that we're gonna be filming and releasing as a
3:08
Speaker 1: new show this fall, and it's gonna drop the first
3:13
Speaker 1: episode in just a couple of weeks to maybe it's
3:16
Speaker 1: maybe three weeks from now, give or take three weeks
3:19
Speaker 1: from now. This new show is gonna drop. It is
3:22
Speaker 1: going to be following you and me and Tony Peterson
3:28
Speaker 1: and Clay Newcomb, and we're gonna be hunting white tails
3:32
Speaker 1: in four different places across the country and combining our
3:37
Speaker 1: four stories for this new series. Uh so, you're gonna
3:40
Speaker 1: be in Montana, right, That's it's about your tomb. That's right.
3:43
Speaker 1: I'll be in Montana, and if Montana happens faster, if
3:46
Speaker 1: I'm gonna drop down to Wyoming and hunt there nice,
3:50
Speaker 1: so I will be doing my hunt in Iowa. Folks
3:53
Speaker 1: know I'm gonna hunting in Iowa. I'm gonna document that
3:55
Speaker 1: hunt for this new project. And then if I kill there,
3:59
Speaker 1: I'm gonna move over in Nebraska. And Clay is going
4:02
Speaker 1: to be in Arkansas, and Tony is gonna be splitting
4:05
Speaker 1: his time between Minnesota and Wisconsin. So super stoked about this.
4:09
Speaker 1: We're gonna start hunting in a week. So I'm feeling good.
4:14
Speaker 1: I feel like we're all going to be in good spots.
4:16
Speaker 1: We've got some cool things lined up and uh and yes,
4:19
Speaker 1: I'm glad you've got a nice big buck out there
4:21
Speaker 1: to chase to Spencer, So fingers crossing sticks around, I'm thrilled.
4:25
Speaker 1: It's It's one of the things that I love about
4:28
Speaker 1: Red Fresh Radio was talking to hunters across the country
4:31
Speaker 1: and having an audio experience that is, hearing from somebody
4:35
Speaker 1: from Mississippi and New Jersey and Kansas in the same episode.
4:39
Speaker 1: And that's sort of what you're going to have with
4:41
Speaker 1: this new show. You're you're getting these different storylines with
4:44
Speaker 1: different styles of hunting, with very different white tail herds
4:47
Speaker 1: and very different tactics. Um and that to me is
4:50
Speaker 1: like the most exciting part of the show. Can't wait,
4:54
Speaker 1: it's uh I've actually I just unpacked from Arkansas, and
4:57
Speaker 1: I realized right when I got done on acting that shoot,
5:01
Speaker 1: I should just leave it all out because I don't
5:02
Speaker 1: start repacking in like a day and a half anyway.
5:05
Speaker 1: So it's here, man, it's gonna be in a minute.
5:07
Speaker 1: Tell us, what were you gonna say before I interrupted? Yeah,
5:09
Speaker 1: tell tell us about the Arkansas haunt as far as
5:12
Speaker 1: buck movement goes. And then I think you also spent
5:14
Speaker 1: some time in a tree in Michigan as well. Yeah,
5:17
Speaker 1: so Arkansas was not a lot of activity, but I
5:21
Speaker 1: think that was simply because where I was hunting was
5:23
Speaker 1: public land, big woods, big mountains with very low deer densities.
5:28
Speaker 1: Uh So, over the almost week of hunting I spent there,
5:32
Speaker 1: you know, you know, I guess it was like four
5:34
Speaker 1: and a half, four days or something. In the woods. Uh,
5:37
Speaker 1: I just saw a handful of deer. There was very
5:39
Speaker 1: little sign. There was a few rubs and one scrape,
5:43
Speaker 1: and I think I saw like four dose and two
5:47
Speaker 1: bucks the entire time, there was maybe some kind of
5:50
Speaker 1: like cruising. I would say, if there's any kind of
5:52
Speaker 1: sign or like any kind of activity of note, It
5:55
Speaker 1: was the fact that there were two bucks that were
5:58
Speaker 1: cruising in late morning, So that was that was kind
6:01
Speaker 1: of the extent of related activity that I saw. The
6:04
Speaker 1: full store of that hunt will drop later this year
6:08
Speaker 1: on the podcast, so stay tuned for all the stories
6:10
Speaker 1: on how that went down. But the very interesting unique
6:13
Speaker 1: situation I've I haven't hunted this kind of way before,
6:16
Speaker 1: so it's very cool to give it a shot. Uh.
6:19
Speaker 1: And then yeah, I got to spend a little time
6:21
Speaker 1: in Michigan hunting and glassing, and I can tell you
6:25
Speaker 1: that I have seen some definite prered activity here in Michigan.
6:29
Speaker 1: I saw three and a half real buck chasen a
6:33
Speaker 1: dough two days ago, I think it was. And I
6:37
Speaker 1: hunted last night and saw what looked like, you know,
6:42
Speaker 1: a hot dough with a bunch of bucks just standing
6:44
Speaker 1: around waiting so that I might have like a first
6:47
Speaker 1: hot dough of the year kind of situation. I saw
6:50
Speaker 1: like a two or three year old buck and then
6:51
Speaker 1: a couple of year and a half old doing that thing.
6:53
Speaker 1: Where they're just standing on the edge of the cover
6:56
Speaker 1: looking in there, and then there was some running around
6:58
Speaker 1: and then more standing there, and I've just seen that
7:01
Speaker 1: movie play out so many times. There's likely one of
7:03
Speaker 1: my shooter bucks was in that thicket with a dough
7:06
Speaker 1: and all these other kind of satellite bucks were orbiting
7:09
Speaker 1: around it. So I'm gonna go back out there tonight
7:12
Speaker 1: and hopefully be in the action. So it's it's just
7:16
Speaker 1: getting going around here, and I'm sure it's it's only
7:19
Speaker 1: going to get better. So that's that's my quick activity report.
7:22
Speaker 1: I love it. Late October is so cool because it's
7:25
Speaker 1: like a little bit of the rut chaos, but it's
7:29
Speaker 1: more organized to the you know, first couple hours of
7:32
Speaker 1: daylight and the last couple hours of daylight, so it's
7:34
Speaker 1: like organized chaos. You know, you're probably not missing some
7:38
Speaker 1: cruising four and a half year old buck that's out
7:40
Speaker 1: there at noon, um, but he may be up and
7:44
Speaker 1: moving earlier than he ever would be earlier in the year, um,
7:49
Speaker 1: with like thirty minutes daylight left or something. So that's
7:52
Speaker 1: why I love late October. But yeah, man, it's one
7:55
Speaker 1: of my favorite parts of the year. Now I want
7:57
Speaker 1: to fast forward dough to the rut and to November.
8:00
Speaker 1: And this is something we cover most years, and that
8:03
Speaker 1: is the rutting moon. Now, before we talk about the
8:06
Speaker 1: rutting moon, Mark, I think you have some qualifiers to
8:10
Speaker 1: put out there that come up anytime we have to
8:13
Speaker 1: have this discussion. So like, before we talk about what
8:17
Speaker 1: the rutting moon is and what it is, fore, like,
8:21
Speaker 1: what are kind of your general thoughts around the rutting
8:23
Speaker 1: moon theories. Yeah, so, so we have to talk about
8:26
Speaker 1: the rutting moon because it's the thing that people want
8:28
Speaker 1: to hear about because people because a lot of people
8:30
Speaker 1: believe in this thing, because a lot of people are
8:32
Speaker 1: intrigued by it, they want to you know, be at
8:36
Speaker 1: least I don't know, spitballing on it. So so I
8:39
Speaker 1: want to make sure we address it. But I address
8:41
Speaker 1: it with these very significant qualifiers, these very significant like
8:46
Speaker 1: asterisks next to this conversation. Because the science, a lot
8:52
Speaker 1: of different studies point to their being zero correlation between
8:58
Speaker 1: the timing of the white tail it and moon phase
9:02
Speaker 1: or moon position or anything like that. There's not been
9:05
Speaker 1: any kind of real correlation found. So let's just make
9:09
Speaker 1: that very clear. The science does not back up these theories. Okay.
9:15
Speaker 1: That said, there's a whole lot of anecdotal evidence. There's
9:19
Speaker 1: a lot of people that have done their own kind
9:21
Speaker 1: of little studies here and there, and they have strong
9:24
Speaker 1: theories and opinions on this. So we'll put this out
9:27
Speaker 1: here as a hey, here's what some people have seen
9:29
Speaker 1: and think, and you know, swear by and then I
9:33
Speaker 1: will also hedge it by saying, but the peer reviewed
9:37
Speaker 1: studies can't back it up. So take this with a
9:39
Speaker 1: grain cell, take it however you want, Let it go
9:41
Speaker 1: in one year out the other. If you want, or
9:43
Speaker 1: if this is something that you've seen seems to match
9:46
Speaker 1: up and that you think works in your area, then
9:48
Speaker 1: you know, pay attention. Or like you, Spencer, if you
9:51
Speaker 1: love to hear your sasquatch theories even though you don't
9:54
Speaker 1: really believe in sasquatch, this is one of those kinds
9:56
Speaker 1: of conversations for you too. So that's my head, that's
10:00
Speaker 1: my qualifier. Uh, did I cover the base the basism
10:04
Speaker 1: mostly there? Maybe I didn't really explain what the thing
10:07
Speaker 1: is though, So that that's okay, We'll get to that
10:09
Speaker 1: in a second. I think you put the appropriate qualifiers
10:12
Speaker 1: on it. Even took my line about liking name to Sasquatch,
10:16
Speaker 1: like I I don't believe in Sasquatch, I don't believe
10:18
Speaker 1: in the running moon, but damn it, I am so
10:20
Speaker 1: interested in both, and I want to hear all the
10:23
Speaker 1: theories about both of them in any stories you might
10:25
Speaker 1: have related to either one. Before we talk about running moon, though,
10:32
Speaker 1: what was the twenty twenty running moon. So hunters can
10:36
Speaker 1: have like some barometer or some comparison to what they
10:39
Speaker 1: may see in if they think that this is a
10:42
Speaker 1: thing that affects buck movement. Yeah, So first off, the
10:47
Speaker 1: running moon. When someone says the running moon, this is
10:49
Speaker 1: coming mostly from a theory and a kind of viewpoint
10:53
Speaker 1: popularized by Charles Elsheimer and Wayne Laroche. Uh. Charles Alsheimer
10:58
Speaker 1: was a writer, photographer rest in peace. He passed away
11:02
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, but this running moon theory
11:05
Speaker 1: is mostly popularized by them, and basically it was their
11:08
Speaker 1: belief that the timing of the rut, the peak of
11:12
Speaker 1: like rut activity is triggered by the second full moon
11:16
Speaker 1: after the autumn equinox. So that was like the triggering
11:19
Speaker 1: point that typically you would then see seeking and chasing
11:22
Speaker 1: really pick up from there, and then you'd see the
11:25
Speaker 1: peak breeding happened a little while after that. And this
11:28
Speaker 1: second full moon after the autumn equinox, that happens at
11:31
Speaker 1: different parts of the year, you know, every year, so that,
11:35
Speaker 1: in their belief, is why you would see running activity
11:38
Speaker 1: at different parts of the year in different places. So
11:40
Speaker 1: in the running moon, that second full moon after the
11:43
Speaker 1: autom equinox was October one. What this theory he typically
11:49
Speaker 1: has shown, or what they what they say is that
11:52
Speaker 1: when that running moon falls right in the line with
11:55
Speaker 1: the typical you know, beginning of November start of running activity,
12:00
Speaker 1: that's when you see the very best kind of syncd
12:04
Speaker 1: up rut. You'll see stuff happen just like it's supposed to.
12:07
Speaker 1: You're gonna see the chasing, and you're gonna see the seeking,
12:10
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be very frenzied, and it's gonna be daylight,
12:12
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be everything you ever dreamed about. That
12:15
Speaker 1: is what they predicted for the rut um. I would say, well,
12:24
Speaker 1: let me let me take one step back. That's what
12:26
Speaker 1: the running moon theory said. I mentioned to you all
12:29
Speaker 1: in the beginning that the running moon theory is not
12:32
Speaker 1: backed to by any science. I did not mention what
12:34
Speaker 1: the science typically shows. The sense typically show not the
12:37
Speaker 1: science typically it does show that rutting behavior like the
12:43
Speaker 1: actual peak breeding, so breeding is consistent year after year.
12:47
Speaker 1: There have been studies that go and measure the size
12:50
Speaker 1: of fetuses and back date them. You can actually tell
12:53
Speaker 1: when a Vaughn was conceived based on these measurements. They've
12:57
Speaker 1: went back, they've done that research and have shown that
13:00
Speaker 1: in most areas of the country, it is happening the
13:03
Speaker 1: peak of this belker. Right, you gotta imagine a belker.
13:05
Speaker 1: There's always some earlier, there's always some late, but the
13:07
Speaker 1: majority always fall around this exact same time because this
13:11
Speaker 1: breeding behavior is triggered The science shows by photo period,
13:15
Speaker 1: which is the amount of daylight in the twenty four
13:18
Speaker 1: hour time period, and that doesn't change. That's that happens
13:21
Speaker 1: at the same point in every year, year after year
13:23
Speaker 1: after year. So I should have mentioned at the beginning
13:27
Speaker 1: most places across the country you should see running activity
13:31
Speaker 1: in general follow the same trend. So for me here
13:36
Speaker 1: in Michigan, across much of the Midwest, it's rising through
13:39
Speaker 1: October and then usually get a lot of that seeking
13:42
Speaker 1: and chasing happening right about now through those first couple
13:46
Speaker 1: of weeks of November, and then somewhere around mid November
13:50
Speaker 1: is when most parts of the country have their peak
13:52
Speaker 1: breeding dates. So sorry I didn't mentioned upfront that is
13:56
Speaker 1: what the science and that's what most folks believe is
13:59
Speaker 1: what actually happens. The running moon lined up with that,
14:03
Speaker 1: so it was supposed to be these two things matching
14:05
Speaker 1: up to create the best case scenario. So you've now
14:08
Speaker 1: laid the foundation for this. You've given caveats, you said
14:12
Speaker 1: what happened in you've explained what it is, You've explained
14:15
Speaker 1: what the science says about it. Now I want you
14:18
Speaker 1: to briefly talk about ones running moon. And I want
14:23
Speaker 1: to emphasize brief because you actually just wrote an article
14:26
Speaker 1: about this that probably goes into greater detail than you
14:29
Speaker 1: have the ability to on this podcast and lays it
14:32
Speaker 1: out in a more organized sense. So briefly tell us
14:35
Speaker 1: about the running moon, and then we'll tell folks where
14:39
Speaker 1: to find the article where they can get more info
14:41
Speaker 1: on this theory. You're so good at a queuing up
14:44
Speaker 1: these plugs for article, Spencer, kudos, do you absolutely? Um? So,
14:49
Speaker 1: the very cliff notes version is that we have a
14:52
Speaker 1: very late running moon this year because of the way
14:56
Speaker 1: the fall equinox falls. The running moon the second fo
15:00
Speaker 1: moon after the autumn equinox technically is November nineteen, so
15:04
Speaker 1: twenty days later than it was last year. And the
15:07
Speaker 1: short version of what that might mean according to this
15:10
Speaker 1: theory is that we're going to have something that Elsheimer
15:13
Speaker 1: referred to as a trickle rut. So this would mean
15:16
Speaker 1: running behavior kind of triggering from the first full moon
15:21
Speaker 1: after the autom equinox on October all the way through
15:24
Speaker 1: November nineteen. So this is not as good of a
15:27
Speaker 1: set of circumstances as the theory indicated for last year.
15:33
Speaker 1: That is that enough to tease it, that's perfect. So
15:36
Speaker 1: if you want more on that, we have an article
15:38
Speaker 1: that Mark just wrote says what you need to know
15:41
Speaker 1: about the rutting moon. Mark goes into even greater detail
15:45
Speaker 1: in the Rutting Moon and what that means for Hunters.

Speaker 1: help You Kill More running Bucks by Alex Gilstrom. Alex
16:08
Speaker 1: breaks down how a certain mindset will help you be
16:11
Speaker 1: a better deer hunter in November, and then from Bou Martonic,
16:14
Speaker 1: the pros and cons of rubber boots for archery hunting
16:18
Speaker 1: bow breaks down if rubber boots are right for you
16:20
Speaker 1: based on your white tail hunting style, and then three
16:24
Speaker 1: reasons hunters fail during the rut by Tony Peterson. Tony
16:27
Speaker 1: goes over the common mistakes that deer hunters make when
16:30
Speaker 1: trying to kill a buck during the rut and offers
16:33
Speaker 1: some advice on how to avoid making them now. The
16:36
Speaker 1: other folks are gonna hear from in this episode are
16:39
Speaker 1: Nate Crick from Identical Draw in Kansas, Greglitzinger from the
16:42
Speaker 1: Bow Hunting Fiend YouTube channel in New Jersey, Lake Pickle
16:46
Speaker 1: from Primos in Mississippi, and then T J. Anger from
16:49
Speaker 1: the Virtue TV in Indiana. I just gotta say that
16:53
Speaker 1: Lake Pickle has got the best name for someone in
16:56
Speaker 1: the world of hunting. Yeah, just very jealous. What a
16:58
Speaker 1: great name. Lake pick he does. He could do anything
17:01
Speaker 1: he could like. Uh, he could host a late night show.
17:04
Speaker 1: He could be a NASCAR driver, he could work for
17:07
Speaker 1: Premost and come on the wire to Hunt podcast and
17:09
Speaker 1: talk about white tales in Mississippi. That that name works
17:12
Speaker 1: for anything. It really does good for him. Um, well,
17:16
Speaker 1: I I'm excited. I will tell you one thing I
17:19
Speaker 1: didn't mention in my running moon discussion, but I think
17:21
Speaker 1: should just be mentioned here is that I'm not gonna
17:24
Speaker 1: let that trickle rutt prediction. I'm not gonna let that
17:27
Speaker 1: late rutting moon prediction make me feel pessimistic at all.
17:32
Speaker 1: I'm not worried about it. Late October and early November
17:36
Speaker 1: is almost always great. We've got decent weather, so it's
17:40
Speaker 1: not either some big hot front coming through. Uh. Stuff
17:43
Speaker 1: should be awesome. So get out there, have fun. I'm stoked.
17:46
Speaker 1: I think we're in for a really good uh rut
17:48
Speaker 1: here coming up. Well said, the next time I talked
17:51
Speaker 1: to you, Mark, it will be November. Hallelujah. Alright, and
17:57
Speaker 1: joining us on the line first is Nate Crick for
18:00
Speaker 1: identical Jaw in Kansas. Now, Nate in Kansas, what would
18:03
Speaker 1: you say? The buck activity has been lately on a
18:05
Speaker 1: scale of one to ten, I would say a seven
18:09
Speaker 1: UM out of ten UM. And I feel like that's
18:12
Speaker 1: kind of generous because the weather, at least from what
18:15
Speaker 1: I can remember from years past, the weather has definitely
18:18
Speaker 1: been colder, um, which makes better deer activity. And I
18:22
Speaker 1: feel like for this time of the year it's been
18:24
Speaker 1: a little on the warm side, but we're still seeing
18:26
Speaker 1: decent buck activity, and especially in the last week. UM,
18:30
Speaker 1: I'm a lot more daily activity. Now, you and your
18:34
Speaker 1: brother Tom have historically had some success bowl hunting in
18:38
Speaker 1: late October. What is it about your hunting style or
18:40
Speaker 1: the property that you're on that you think sets up
18:43
Speaker 1: for killing bucks this time of year. Yeah, so, Thompson,
18:47
Speaker 1: I we hunt we have had primarily big tracks of
18:50
Speaker 1: timber to hunt. We never really have had access to
18:54
Speaker 1: like big food plots or anything like that. Um. So
18:57
Speaker 1: I feel like we've figured out how to hunt ridge
19:00
Speaker 1: is um very successfully. And then the other side of that,
19:03
Speaker 1: with late Octobers, we've killed our bucks primarily over scrapes.
19:08
Speaker 1: We found really good travel areas on top of these
19:11
Speaker 1: ridge lines that it's taken a few years to figure out.
19:14
Speaker 1: But um, Yeah, our our combination has been really good
19:18
Speaker 1: travel areas on top of these ridge lines, and then
19:21
Speaker 1: coined that with really really fresh signs, and that's where
19:24
Speaker 1: I've been. Our success has been. Um, it's been a
19:27
Speaker 1: pretty simple formula that hey, let's get a good access
19:30
Speaker 1: into that area so we don't have to be worried
19:31
Speaker 1: about our wind, get the right wind, get in there,
19:33
Speaker 1: and yeah, it's we've really had good luck hunting fresh
19:37
Speaker 1: sign on ridge lines in late October. What are you
19:40
Speaker 1: seeing for signmaking right now in Kansas? Um. We actually
19:46
Speaker 1: we did a small walk about to move some of
19:48
Speaker 1: our cameras around today and we were surprised that there
19:50
Speaker 1: are a lot of scrapes around. And we are here
19:53
Speaker 1: just about oh four yeah, four or five days ago,
19:57
Speaker 1: and just today walking around we saw at least new scrapes,
20:01
Speaker 1: so um, they're definitely starting to hit those pretty hard. Um.
20:05
Speaker 1: We haven't checked out the timber um in the area
20:07
Speaker 1: that deer would rub on. We've got a lot of
20:09
Speaker 1: hedge in the areas that we've hunted so far, and uh,
20:12
Speaker 1: deer don't want to rub on that for obvious reasons
20:14
Speaker 1: such a it's such a hard wood. Um. But yeah,
20:17
Speaker 1: the scrape activity has been really really good the last
20:20
Speaker 1: last few days. What's the standards of the crop harvest
20:24
Speaker 1: in Kansas right now and what other food sources are
20:26
Speaker 1: relevant this time of year. Yeah, I would say in
20:30
Speaker 1: our area, I bet we're looking at harvested in the area.
20:35
Speaker 1: Still have the occasional field that I'm seeing that's still standing. UM.
20:39
Speaker 1: But yeah, I feel like UM, a few weeks ago
20:42
Speaker 1: when they really pulled most of the crops out UM,
20:46
Speaker 1: that actually had a pretty decent impact UM on deer movement,
20:50
Speaker 1: and I felt like our stids got pretty decent actually
20:53
Speaker 1: during that time October. But yeah, as far as now,
20:56
Speaker 1: I feel like they are not as worried about their
20:59
Speaker 1: food sources and moving to those those thicker bedding areas.
21:02
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you what on ont least on our
21:04
Speaker 1: our eight acres in canvas that we're hunting, we've got
21:07
Speaker 1: three acres of a mix of corn beans and then
21:10
Speaker 1: we've got these tiny little transition pots we call them,
21:13
Speaker 1: that are UM usually clover and maybe some brass cousin there,
21:17
Speaker 1: but basically just a mix that we threw over UM
21:20
Speaker 1: this spring. UM. And those pots have been the ones
21:24
Speaker 1: that have really caught fire the last week. And I
21:27
Speaker 1: think it's because, um, it's in the timber, so the
21:30
Speaker 1: deer are super safe. And did those are the plots
21:32
Speaker 1: that we're just getting hammered by dose And again they're small,
21:35
Speaker 1: they're like quarter acre or smaller. And the last week
21:39
Speaker 1: we've seen that buck activity pick up in those because
21:41
Speaker 1: it was such a home to all these doughs that
21:43
Speaker 1: instead of a herd of does moving through in the evening,
21:46
Speaker 1: we're getting a couple of straggler bucks to be on
21:48
Speaker 1: their tails to you know, in late October. How do
21:51
Speaker 1: your morning setups differ from your evening setups? Um? Honestly,
21:58
Speaker 1: the last last few days we been having them pretty similar,
22:02
Speaker 1: but I would stay in the evening UM, which we've
22:04
Speaker 1: based it on a lot of trail cam activity. Are
22:07
Speaker 1: evenings have been better. So the only thing that we're
22:09
Speaker 1: doing in the evenings that's a little different in the
22:11
Speaker 1: morning is maybe getting a little more aggressive and maybe
22:14
Speaker 1: getting a little tighter to where we see these these
22:16
Speaker 1: deer heading. Um in the morning, I think we do
22:19
Speaker 1: steal this like this This time is probably the last
22:22
Speaker 1: week were we might play it safe a little bit
22:24
Speaker 1: more in the mornings and work the food to betting
22:27
Speaker 1: areas that might not be as risky, but yeah, for
22:30
Speaker 1: these evening setups we're getting, we're hugging betting pretty tight.
22:34
Speaker 1: And if you could throw in like I was just
22:36
Speaker 1: talking about, like a little green clover pot in there,
22:38
Speaker 1: um that that's been really money for us going forward.
22:43
Speaker 1: Then in the next week or so, what do you
22:45
Speaker 1: think that buck activity is going to be on a
22:47
Speaker 1: scale of one to ten in Kansas, I'd go to
22:52
Speaker 1: eight out of ten. I would think I'd give it
22:54
Speaker 1: one more up. Um, I think this time of the
22:57
Speaker 1: year is amazing. Um. And and I do think it's
23:01
Speaker 1: still it's still at least in Kansas, is still getting
23:03
Speaker 1: up into the fifties and almost the sixty mark during
23:05
Speaker 1: the day. Um, it is different too about thirty degrees.
23:08
Speaker 1: So I do think, I mean, it's still a little warm,
23:10
Speaker 1: but this is the time of year that hey, bucks
23:13
Speaker 1: are gonna start moving, and um, everybody's kind of getting
23:17
Speaker 1: ansty in the deer woods. So um, I'm expecting it
23:20
Speaker 1: to be really good the next week. All right, Nay,
23:22
Speaker 1: good luck to you and your brother. Thanks for joining me.
23:25
Speaker 1: Thanks senter alright and joining us on the line. Next
23:28
Speaker 1: is Greg Litzinger from the Bow Hunting fiend YouTube channel
23:31
Speaker 1: in New Jersey. Now Greg in New Jersey, what would
23:34
Speaker 1: you say the bucket activity is ben lately? On a
23:36
Speaker 1: scale of one to ten, I'll give it a six.
23:39
Speaker 1: I think the weather has had a lot to do
23:40
Speaker 1: with it. It's really here in Jersey. It's it's been
23:42
Speaker 1: warm and a lot of weird winds, a lot of
23:45
Speaker 1: east wind, southeast wind. So there's definitely some changes to normal. UM.
23:51
Speaker 1: I guess normal patterns yearly patterns, So I will give
23:55
Speaker 1: it a six. You know, especially public land. He has
23:57
Speaker 1: strictly public land here. So what are you seeing for
24:01
Speaker 1: signmaking right now in New Jersey? Um Robs, bigger rubs
24:08
Speaker 1: are popping up, UM say, like the big boys have
24:11
Speaker 1: come out a little bit and scrimping areas. UM are
24:17
Speaker 1: They're staying active, but not like super active like they
24:19
Speaker 1: were around the twelfth of October. They were really jumping off.
24:24
Speaker 1: I've perceived in the next couple of days it should
24:26
Speaker 1: you have pick back up your regarding your regardless of
24:29
Speaker 1: the weather. If you're doing some in season scouting this
24:33
Speaker 1: time of year on public land in the northeast, what
24:36
Speaker 1: are some things that you're looking for this year? I've
24:40
Speaker 1: located foods. Of contrary on foods, UM, there's a lot
24:45
Speaker 1: there's a bump or acorn crop UM in the woods hunting,
24:48
Speaker 1: so there's food everywhere, So trying to find the right
24:52
Speaker 1: food which is going to be key. I think, Um,
24:55
Speaker 1: we have corn and beans, but they've been known that
24:57
Speaker 1: stuff down because it's been dried out, so the the
25:00
Speaker 1: crops have been slowly disappearing as force some monest deer
25:03
Speaker 1: in the woodlots a little sooner than normal. So UM
25:08
Speaker 1: food has been become a highlight on I think for
25:10
Speaker 1: a lot of this deer because there's just you know,
25:12
Speaker 1: it's it's everywhere and they just want to disgorge. If
25:16
Speaker 1: you're running trail cameras right now on public land, where
25:19
Speaker 1: do you want to have them this time of year?
25:20
Speaker 1: In New Jersey? Um, I'm a scrape guy. UM so
25:26
Speaker 1: I'm I'm near scrapes on a scrape line. Um anything
25:30
Speaker 1: scrape baste, I guess good option. Historically, when do you
25:35
Speaker 1: usually start seeing some rotting activity like chasing and sparring
25:38
Speaker 1: in that part of the country. October seems to be
25:46
Speaker 1: the first couple of those around here, kind of popping
25:49
Speaker 1: the heat. Get a few, so get the bus under
25:52
Speaker 1: feet in late October? How does the morning set up
25:55
Speaker 1: differ for you than in the evening set up for me? Personally?
25:59
Speaker 1: They are to say a UM sitting over a scrape.
26:02
Speaker 1: UM usually morning and evening unless I feel running some
26:07
Speaker 1: crazy hot like food sign or something on the way in.
26:10
Speaker 1: But basically I'm focusing on big scraping areas or scraping
26:14
Speaker 1: line feeding like a uh, your known food source. Are
26:20
Speaker 1: you able to use aerial imagery at all to identify
26:22
Speaker 1: places that are likely to have useful scrapes to hunt?
26:28
Speaker 1: He depends on where I'm hunting. Um. Where I'm hunting
26:31
Speaker 1: this year, it's kind of just it's a lot of
26:33
Speaker 1: Laurel big woods kind of setting. So aerial photos and
26:38
Speaker 1: datum you can see some of the oa trees, little
26:39
Speaker 1: patches of oaks and yes, So when you're identifying a
26:44
Speaker 1: good scrape to be haunting in late October, what are
26:47
Speaker 1: some key features that you're looking for? Numerous scrapes on
26:51
Speaker 1: one tree with all broken overhead, you know, licking branches
26:57
Speaker 1: or a like a scraping you know area. I guess
27:00
Speaker 1: there's numerous scrapes on numerous trees. Just the most scrapes
27:04
Speaker 1: the better and a small small area going forward. Then
27:09
Speaker 1: in this next week or so, what do you think
27:11
Speaker 1: that bucket activity is going to be on a scale
27:13
Speaker 1: of one to ten in New Jersey. Um, I'm gonna
27:17
Speaker 1: give it an eight. I just think, you know, historically speaking,
27:21
Speaker 1: you know, it's been you know, a weird strange wind
27:25
Speaker 1: and weather here, and they're just gonna They're gonna have
27:28
Speaker 1: the the arts breath and move, So these scraping areas
27:32
Speaker 1: are gonna, you know, just really ramp up, and the
27:34
Speaker 1: box as definitely going to be under feet just because, um,
27:38
Speaker 1: if you're not for your last basically this time of
27:40
Speaker 1: year for breeding. Alright, Greg, good luck with the rest
27:44
Speaker 1: of your falling. Thanks for joining me, Thanks for having
27:46
Speaker 1: me all right and joining us online. Next is Lake
27:49
Speaker 1: Pickle from Primost In Mississippi. Now Lake in Mississippi. What
27:53
Speaker 1: would you say the buck activity has been lately on
27:55
Speaker 1: a scale of one to ten. I'm gonna give it
27:59
Speaker 1: a two. I'm gonna go I know that sounds like
28:03
Speaker 1: a low score, but I think a lot of folks
28:06
Speaker 1: from down there. Of course you'll have your your outliers,
28:08
Speaker 1: but a lot of folks from that area would probably agree. Uh,
28:14
Speaker 1: this time of year, the weather, I mean it's still hot.
28:16
Speaker 1: I mean it's deer season. So some people folks have
28:19
Speaker 1: that mindset that you know, seasons open, you gotta go,
28:21
Speaker 1: you gotta try, which I completely understand. But um, last
28:25
Speaker 1: week we had a full moon, hot weather, it's humid.
28:28
Speaker 1: It's just not not a lot of things motivating a deer,
28:33
Speaker 1: a buck move and daylight hours. So that's where the
28:36
Speaker 1: where the low score came from. Historically in late October
28:40
Speaker 1: and Mississippi is the buck movement of two out of ten. Yeah,
28:46
Speaker 1: I mean I wouldn't say it not anything above a
28:50
Speaker 1: five by any by any means, Are you seeing any
28:55
Speaker 1: signmaking right now in Mississippi? You'll see, you know, some
29:00
Speaker 1: scrapes and stuff, but nothing, nothing, anything too intense. We're
29:04
Speaker 1: still a month it'll be late November early December before
29:08
Speaker 1: you start seeing anything really like that breaking loose. What
29:12
Speaker 1: food sources are relevant right now for deer hunters in
29:14
Speaker 1: that part of the country. Um, a lot of your masteries?
29:19
Speaker 1: What did that be? You know, soft masks like for
29:22
Speaker 1: symmetries and stuff like that. Have you stuff some acron
29:24
Speaker 1: trees that are very much in play? Um? And then
29:27
Speaker 1: you'll have a few guys that do early season food flights.
29:30
Speaker 1: If you can have a food flight that early and
29:32
Speaker 1: it be up and and going, that can be a
29:36
Speaker 1: good food source for you. But I'd say mostly a
29:39
Speaker 1: lot of natural stuff is still your key. Where do
29:42
Speaker 1: you like to run your trail cameras this time of year? Um,
29:46
Speaker 1: food flots if you got them, and and any kind
29:48
Speaker 1: of food sources, because that's where most of us gonna
29:50
Speaker 1: be for sure in late October and Mississippi, are you
29:54
Speaker 1: doing much for morning hunts? And if so, what do
29:57
Speaker 1: those setups look like? We don't man um And I
30:01
Speaker 1: tell you the reason behind that. Uh, it's come like
30:05
Speaker 1: a not a point of not really a point to
30:08
Speaker 1: argue on, but it just a lot of different opinions. Uh,
30:12
Speaker 1: where we hunt at there's a lot of other pressure around,
30:16
Speaker 1: you know, whether that be from neighboring landowners or whatever.
30:20
Speaker 1: But the deer just tend to get pressured a lot.
30:22
Speaker 1: And this time of year were key and heavy on
30:25
Speaker 1: food sources and a lot of times that we figured
30:28
Speaker 1: out through a lot of trial and error. If we're
30:30
Speaker 1: trying to just you know, sneak into food sources before daylight,
30:34
Speaker 1: A lot of times you end up bumping the deer
30:36
Speaker 1: off and the deer down here, especially where we hunt,
30:39
Speaker 1: they do not. They respond to pressure drastically. So uh,
30:45
Speaker 1: if we get you know, like pull a trail camera
30:47
Speaker 1: and see something that you know, maybe shows a morning hunt,
30:51
Speaker 1: maybe worth sneaking in there and trying it, will do it.
30:53
Speaker 1: But most of the time we just leave it sit
30:56
Speaker 1: in the morning and go in the afternoon strictly for
30:58
Speaker 1: no other reason and just had to take pressure off
31:01
Speaker 1: those year because they're so they response drastically to it.
31:05
Speaker 1: Usually historically, Then when do you like to start doing
31:08
Speaker 1: some morning haunts in Mississippi when you start seeing some
31:13
Speaker 1: pre rud activity. Um, when you start seeing bucks do
31:17
Speaker 1: more than just get up and go the bare minimum
31:19
Speaker 1: distance to get a bit of food and go back. Uh,
31:22
Speaker 1: you see them start getting on their feet and moving
31:24
Speaker 1: and that and that then and then born and hunts
31:27
Speaker 1: definitely become worth it up and when the rud starts,
31:29
Speaker 1: you know, kicking morning hunts can be fantastic. That's when
31:32
Speaker 1: we had some of our best hunts last year. But
31:34
Speaker 1: this time of year, I think in our situation we're
31:37
Speaker 1: doing more harm than we than we are good. Typically,
31:40
Speaker 1: when the temps are high this time of year. Does
31:43
Speaker 1: water factor into your setups at all? Not really where
31:48
Speaker 1: we are, just because there's there's not like there's a
31:53
Speaker 1: a low availability of it. I mean, we've got creeks
31:56
Speaker 1: and lakes and ponds. There's just so many places they
31:59
Speaker 1: can go to get water. Granted they are using it,
32:01
Speaker 1: it's just you're not gonna find some places heavily concentrated
32:06
Speaker 1: for them to do that. They just have too much
32:07
Speaker 1: access to water. Going forward. Then this next week or so,
32:11
Speaker 1: what do you think that Bucket TV is going to
32:13
Speaker 1: be on a scale of one to ten in Mississippi Una.
32:18
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say I could say we could see like
32:20
Speaker 1: a four or five. We starts handing some cooler temperatures, um,
32:25
Speaker 1: but but still I wouldn't grade at anything too high. Alright, Lake,
32:28
Speaker 1: good luck to you and the boys from Premos. Thanks
32:30
Speaker 1: for joining me. Thanks man alright and joining us on
32:35
Speaker 1: the line. Last, it's t J Unger in Indiana from
32:37
Speaker 1: the Virtue TV. Now t J in Indiana, what would
32:41
Speaker 1: you say the buck activity is bent Leley on a
32:43
Speaker 1: skill of one to ten, Ah Spencer, we are looking
32:48
Speaker 1: at lately probably about a six. We're sitting here around
32:52
Speaker 1: a six to a seven in northeast Indiana. Um buck
32:56
Speaker 1: activity is definitely increasing. We're seeing more two three year
33:01
Speaker 1: olds all through the daylight hours. Does are getting dogged
33:04
Speaker 1: and they know it. I mean they're they're getting very
33:06
Speaker 1: familiar with what the next step is. UM. So things
33:10
Speaker 1: are things are ramping up pretty quick. I've got us
33:12
Speaker 1: probably at a six or seven right now. That part
33:15
Speaker 1: of the country has been getting a lot of precipitation
33:17
Speaker 1: this month. How has that change things for deer and
33:20
Speaker 1: deer hunters we have as of late especially, we've been
33:25
Speaker 1: getting several inches of of rain. So one of the
33:28
Speaker 1: biggest factors are variables. There's a lot of standing crops,
33:32
Speaker 1: so we've got a bonch of corn that's still standing around,
33:35
Speaker 1: which obviously you guys know. Um it just increases habitat
33:38
Speaker 1: for these da They can spend more time out in
33:40
Speaker 1: the corn and less time in the in the field
33:42
Speaker 1: edges and in the woods where us hunters are. UM.
33:45
Speaker 1: So deer still hanging pretty tight to that habitat um,
33:49
Speaker 1: and it makes it a little bit more difficult to
33:51
Speaker 1: have daylight, you know, daylight uh encounters and and uh
33:57
Speaker 1: really seeing your your number ones and two's hitting your
34:01
Speaker 1: hitting ear scrapes and whatever else. So crops standing crops,
34:04
Speaker 1: I think is has affected, at least on the farms
34:07
Speaker 1: that I'm on. UM. They started getting indros out last week,
34:09
Speaker 1: but we just got hit with another few inches last night. UM.
34:13
Speaker 1: I'm expecting probably crops to still stand another two or
34:16
Speaker 1: so weeks. UM going into the route heavy, which is
34:19
Speaker 1: going to change things quite a bit. Besides standing corn
34:22
Speaker 1: and beans, what other food sources are relevant right now
34:25
Speaker 1: for hunters in that part of the country. So I've
34:29
Speaker 1: seen a pretty recent transition to greens. So we've got
34:33
Speaker 1: colder TIMPs finally, UM, and obviously they need those the
34:37
Speaker 1: greens to help digest the greens. But UM, as of
34:41
Speaker 1: late seeing a nice transition onto those green food plots.
34:44
Speaker 1: So we have a lot of clover plots, we've got brassicas, UM,
34:47
Speaker 1: we ran a lot of winter peas this year. UM,
34:50
Speaker 1: and the deer finally figuring it out and they're hitting
34:52
Speaker 1: those greens more frequently and more frequent daylight hours for us.
34:57
Speaker 1: So I'm running all cell cameras across all of my
34:59
Speaker 1: farms UM, and it's been really neat to watch as
35:02
Speaker 1: the farmers have pulled like indros out. Um, those deger
35:05
Speaker 1: transitioned obviously to the fresh corn. UM, but they've popped
35:09
Speaker 1: right back over to the greens as of here the
35:11
Speaker 1: last week. UM. So I think we get these north
35:14
Speaker 1: winds that are in the forecast, UM, I'll start hunting
35:17
Speaker 1: those green plots pretty pretty heavily. What do you see
35:21
Speaker 1: for signmaking right now? In Indiana? Scrapes are hot scrapes.
35:26
Speaker 1: They're absolutely on fire right now. I had a little
35:28
Speaker 1: bit of a downtime UM maybe a week ago, UM,
35:31
Speaker 1: which was maybe kind of a soft wall um. But
35:34
Speaker 1: to this last weekend, those scrapes absolutely turned up again.
35:38
Speaker 1: I mentioned we've got we've had a lot of precipitation. Um,
35:42
Speaker 1: those bucks are are freshening those scrapes. You know, once
35:44
Speaker 1: that that front moves out, they're hitting those main community
35:47
Speaker 1: scrapes really hard. So I'm getting a lot of really
35:50
Speaker 1: exciting videos coming in, UM of the number ones and
35:54
Speaker 1: twos that they're freshening them up. They're figuring out who's
35:57
Speaker 1: two and communicating of course, but UM, it's active. They're
36:00
Speaker 1: hitting those scrapes every two to three days. UM. Obviously
36:04
Speaker 1: precipitation plays factor there but um sign is high. A
36:09
Speaker 1: lot of buck rubs, a lot of scrapes right now
36:10
Speaker 1: across all my farms. I assume by now you're doing
36:13
Speaker 1: some morning haunts. So how do your morning setups differ
36:16
Speaker 1: from your evening setups in late October? Yeah? So, Um,
36:21
Speaker 1: obviously with day betting changing around a little bit with crops,
36:24
Speaker 1: you know, even though they're pulling indros out, Um, those
36:27
Speaker 1: deer are transitioning from betting to those grain fields. Um,
36:30
Speaker 1: even just on those edges and indros. So I'm focusing
36:34
Speaker 1: a little bit more on transition routes. Um, those betting areas.
36:38
Speaker 1: You know, they're going through the funnels to get to
36:40
Speaker 1: that food. Um. I'm watching those doughs pretty heavily, especially
36:45
Speaker 1: those mature doughs that are getting bumped around, um to
36:48
Speaker 1: kind of decide where I'm wanting to set up. So
36:51
Speaker 1: starting to focus on those dough betting areas. In past
36:55
Speaker 1: years in Indiana, when there's been a laid harvest that
36:58
Speaker 1: carries on into the rout how do you sort of
37:01
Speaker 1: combat that by having some good encounters. Do you have
37:03
Speaker 1: any hot tips for bow hunting white tails when they're
37:06
Speaker 1: still standing crops into the rut Um, I don't you know,
37:11
Speaker 1: it's tough for me to speak to every for everyone
37:13
Speaker 1: here because I'm hunting a lot of properties that have
37:15
Speaker 1: postage stamp you know, parcels or wood lots. So we're
37:19
Speaker 1: hunting on you know, thirty wood lots um that are
37:23
Speaker 1: surrounded by corn. In some places, it is an advantage
37:27
Speaker 1: because those deer are able to hold on those smaller
37:30
Speaker 1: pieces or those smaller parcels UM. With that in mind,
37:35
Speaker 1: I'm keeping pressure down as low as I possibly can
37:38
Speaker 1: send control as humongous and access uh is critical for
37:43
Speaker 1: these areas. So with the corns still standing, you know,
37:46
Speaker 1: deer are still hanging out in those fields all day long. Um.
37:49
Speaker 1: So I'm just being extra mindful of obviously win direction
37:54
Speaker 1: as I'm accessing. But um, you know, as I start
37:57
Speaker 1: to push in a little bit closer on betting, is
38:00
Speaker 1: being really really mindful of my ground scent and you
38:02
Speaker 1: know how that scent is blown into those areas. So
38:05
Speaker 1: it's tough hunting these small parcels um, but it can
38:08
Speaker 1: be an advantage if you play it right. So you know,
38:11
Speaker 1: for an example, we've got these indros that are being
38:14
Speaker 1: cut out, and typically I'd be hunting over that corn
38:18
Speaker 1: you know, an entire cut corn field. But we've mixed
38:20
Speaker 1: it up a little bit this year and made some
38:23
Speaker 1: natural blinds in standing corn um to give us a
38:26
Speaker 1: little bit of leverage to get closer and and you know,
38:29
Speaker 1: maintain that control of of the wind. But um, just
38:32
Speaker 1: trying to be a little bit more creative, um, you know,
38:35
Speaker 1: with with these obstacles, er challenges that we've been presented,
38:39
Speaker 1: with super wet conditions and a lot of crops. Going forward,
38:43
Speaker 1: Then in a six week or so, what do you
38:44
Speaker 1: think that bucket TV is going to be on a
38:46
Speaker 1: scale of one to ten in Indiana. I'm gonna throw
38:51
Speaker 1: it out there, I expect, I hope. I'm gonna see
38:54
Speaker 1: about it eight to a nine here over the next
38:57
Speaker 1: week week and a half. Um, we've got this big
39:00
Speaker 1: rain event that's moving out here Tuesday. So Tuesday night,
39:05
Speaker 1: UM should be a pretty pretty exceptional little sit tim
39:08
Speaker 1: ten degree temperature drop and it should remain consistent over
39:12
Speaker 1: the next five to eight days. UM. So I'm looking
39:16
Speaker 1: for that activity that we've seen ramp up just kind
39:19
Speaker 1: of explode for us here with us next couple of weeks.
39:22
Speaker 1: So I'm still gonna say conservatively in eight, because it's
39:25
Speaker 1: just not very often we see a ten um, but
39:28
Speaker 1: eight and a half, I'll be happy with it, all right,
39:30
Speaker 1: t J like your optimism, Good luck with the rest
39:32
