• 0:17
  Speaker 1: now your hosts case Smith and Tyler Jones.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Things are heating up around the country in the deer woods,
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: but it's unseasonably warm out there as well. Is it
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: time for you to get in the stand? Who knows
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: this is Retfresh, Let's go.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: Welcome to Retfresh Radio, brought to you by First Light Gear.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: I'm Casey Smith and Tyler Jones is here with me.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: I'm playing Copol today and he is navigating us to
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: where the bucks are.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: I think it's all right, super nav.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Navigator, and uh, we're heading out on a hunt trip
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: and I'm pretty excited about it.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: Tell you the truth, Tyler, how do you feel? I
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: feel increasingly good as we had the direction we're heading.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: It's as funny as you as you head more towards
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: no northern latitudes, you feel better about the deer.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: Hunting you do. And pretty hard to not going north
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: when you're in Texas. I'm guarantee you unless you got
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: some money, you can head south north. It's the inference
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: that's good. We we do.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Have some good reports from around the country, uh, from
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: some different folks. A lot of deer already hitting the ground,
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: which is very exciting. And uh man, this time the
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: hype this time of year is uh. I don't know
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: if I can say this word right. Palatable is that
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: how do you say the word palpable? I'm trying to say,
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: like you can you can like taste it, right or
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: something like That's kind of how the context of that,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: it's palatable.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, palatable.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: That's what them bucks be doing in the scrapes right now,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: just helping or tasting.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: It in them taste But it's all right, yeah, Tyler.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: We have been talking some strategy here as to what
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: we're gonna do. We're gonna just go on a ten
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: day just deer sleigh fest.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: And I don't mean like saying in a sleigh you
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: know what I'm saying.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: But it's a good time of year to do a
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: lot of different things, maybe even some aggressive things. We've
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: been talking a lot about rattling, and I think the
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: jury is out on when is a good time to
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: rattle And that might just be kind of my personal
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: perception because I've had successes and failures at all times
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: of the year doing it, maybe depending on where I'm
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: at in the country. So let me just ask you
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: a very pointed question, when is a good time to rattle?
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: Like what dates are you thinking about rattling?
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: And when is it like still borderline but worth doing,
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: and like what's your strategy on it?
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: Man, I don't know. I'm not the rattling guy by
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: any means. I'd like to hear your two cents on it,
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: for sure, because you probably do it more than I do,
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: but that doesn't mean it works. Yeah, yeah, yeah, had
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: some experience, though, I would say, you know, right now,
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: it is probably a pretty good time to rattle. I
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: don't know that I would get super knockdown drag out
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: with it. I would try to sound like a couple
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: of pre pre rut bucks going at it. But maybe
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: I'm wrong, And maybe guys that are in Iowa that's
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: like I've seen on Instagram recently have bucks chasing literally
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: as fast as they can run thirty five miles an
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: hour or whatever chasing dose. Maybe that does maybe it
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: is time to do knockdown drag out but I do
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: think of that knockdown drag out stuff's happening in the
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: first few weeks in November a lot of times. And
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: you know, I also with that, and with that in mind,
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: I don't like to go for a long time. When
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: I say knockdown, drag out, I mean just like full
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: force getting after it for a good solid you know,
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: twenty to thirty forty seconds, you know, or whatever, and
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: you know, maybe stuff breaking or whatever. You know. So
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: I would say that deer will be inquisitive here as
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: the test sawstrone has really come up through the roof.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: And I think with us coming with having temperatures that
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: are going to be decreasing here in the next few
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: days across lots of the country, be good all the
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: way till later November, where you may start to tone
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: it back down to kind of some pre rut volumes.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: And you know, those deer have heard it, they know
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: what it is at that point, and they may come in,
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: if nothing else, just to be a spectator. I think
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: that's a big deal.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: And maybe you brought this to my attention a few
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: years back, like rattling is somewhat weird to deer at
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: the beginning, because they just have it, hurt it in
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: a while or whatever, and then they kind of get
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: used to hearing it around or something.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: So I thought that was interesting.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: I have a couple of anecdotal things to mention here,
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: because I do rattle a decent amount and I have
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: had some success, but I mean I've had a lot
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: of failures rattling because you don't rattle deer in very often.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: It's not a thing.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: I mean, maybe you go to South Texas and you
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: hunt a really nice place that has a ton of
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: whitetail deer and you're rattling in quite.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: A few bucks. It might even be high fence, Yeah,
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: it might be.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: And so like there's this there's this thing. And that's
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: where rattling became a tactic, right. It was those guys
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: are in the seventies and eighties that kind of made
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: that popular, that were doing it in South Texas because
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: there's a ton of deer per acre or per square
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: mile down there, and that's why it's the thing.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: But it works everywhere.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: All deer, all white tail deer, bucks fight and so
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: they do experience that. Last year, I killed a deer,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: not by rattling, but right after he fought another deer
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: and that it was like the knockdown dragon.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: I mean there was dust fly. I could see the
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: dust flying naked eye from over.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: A mile away, a very wide open country if you
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: can't tell, right, Like, they were trying to kill each other,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: and it lasted I would say twelve to twenty seven
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: or something like that like that, the true knock. There
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: was no like let's push on each other first. You know,
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: it was like they knew that it was. They were
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: trying to kill each other right away. It wasn't like
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: a you know, if you've ever watched humans fight, which
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: I'm not really condoning such activities, but if you see
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: people in like street fight, all of a sudden, it's
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: like we're about, I'm trying to rip this dude's head off.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: If you watch people who are good professional fighters like
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: UFC or something, those guys a lot of times they're
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: tapping gloves. They're kind of feeling each other out at
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: the beginning, you know, kind of dancing around trying to
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: just get a feel for things.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: And it's in in the streets. Yeah, and David Bowie,
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: but those deer were the former.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: They were street fighting, and that was November fifteenth, and
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: it was absolutely insane.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: I mean, they were trying to break each other's necks right.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: And by the way, that video is going to be
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: on the Element channel pretty soon.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: It's insane, So go check it out if you y'all.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: I'll say this, it's supposed to be out the twenty ninth.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: I don't know if it's gonna be out the twenty
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: ninth because we're, you know, we're on the way to
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: some deer country and those don't those the Wi FI
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: and deer country don't always mix, so that'll be the thing.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: But that's what we're trying to get it out, you know.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: And I'm really thankful to have been able to document
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: that one and I want to share it with you.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: But I will say that I have observed this time
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: of year, deer very much do the let's push on
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: each other thing, and then as we're doing it, we're
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: gonna kind of ramp up a little bit and and fine,
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: and then maybe even at the end of it, there
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: can be like a little bit of a hey, I
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: want I'm gonna run you off type thing because there's
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: a lot of stuff going on. And I'm no biologist,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: but I aspire to imitate one from time to time.
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: You know, testosterone is ramping up continually until it peaks.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: In you know, November for most of the country.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: Uh you know, illogist actually tend to not have too high.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: I think that I found success during this the other day,
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: get fired up, laughing and we drive off the road.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: That's good.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: I did rattling a buck on October twenty fifth.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: He was a two year old a deer.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: I decided to not shoot, and he did come in
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: down wind, or tried to be down windy, and he
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: missed her wind just a little bit, and he was cautious,
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: so he just kind of stayed there looking around, and
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: I played with him a little bit. I snort wazed
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: at him, and he he like locked it up real
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: hard and then he did it again. He ran off,
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: But it was fun. I love rattling in here, and
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: I did that tactic. I didn't really start out super slow,
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: and I didn't tickle antlers too much.
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: I went ahead and.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: Got them together, but I was doing the said a
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: clack clack, It's much more of a cranking them together, you.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: Know what I'm talking about kind of they're kind of
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: like you said, pushing on your So it's kind of
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: a grind more than it is a hit exactly. And
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: I think it like bighorn sheep, you know what I mean,
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: they don't do that.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Deer put their heads together and then they and and
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: that's the sound that you get all a lot of
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: times when you're thinking about natural rattling. And I did that.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: It's actually really hard on your arms. It makes you tired,
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: you know, but you're just putting in as much pressure
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: back and forth as you can, or a large amount
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: at least you don't want to break them.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: And it worked.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: So I think that that could be kind of the
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: go to on the rattling this time of year.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: And they don't have biceps like you. Well, it's all forearms,
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: you know. Whenever you're doing that, you got some good
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: for I've been doing things, man, I've been doing.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: A lot of farmers walk lately because I feel like
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: functionally that's like a very big thing.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: And I think it a because you can be a Mennonite.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah I'm trying to be a farmer, but you know, well,
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: men nights, they don't walk. They got cars and stuff,
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: so well true, I just thought they farmed. They do
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: a lot of farming, but not all of walking. We're
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: gonna do some rattling this week. I think it's gonna
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: be a tactic that really works soon. It also sounds
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: like there are some other taxes tactics that are really
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: working well for some of the guys that are hunting
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: around the country this week.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: Tyler, who do we got. We got Chandler Barnes from Kentucky.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: He's a guy who known for a few years. He's
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: out there, you know, shooting deer like he always does
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: every year, something that makes us jealous. We got Gordon
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: Dalton from Virginia out there in East Virginia doing the thing.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: Funny how we met him, but I won't talk to
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: you that story some other time. Michael Huntsucker from Heartland
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: bow Hunter. He's been out in Colorado. He is the
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: man for us in Colorado for some reason. We don't
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: know anybody else in Hwai to hunts out there. And
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: then we've got Scotty Lego, who's a snow snowboarder up
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: in Massachusetts.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: Awesome, let's see what they got to say. This is
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: my buddy, Chandler Barns. He's been hunting in Kentucky and
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: has had some success.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: Chandler, how you doing, man?
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: Good?
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: How you guys doing all?
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: We're doing real well. Congrats on the big eight point dude.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: It seems like you always getting done about this time
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: of year.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: Thank you so much.
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: Yes, October, late October is my favorite time to be
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: in the woods. I've killed a couple on October twenty seventh,
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: and it's a great time to key in on scrapes.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: Okay, So do you think that scrapes are the key
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: right now in Kentucky?
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: Huh?
• 11:29
  Speaker 6: Yes, Yes.
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: What I've had luck in over the years is trying
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: to move my cameras.
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: To scrapes in late October.
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: And I use this little stuff called white lightning. It's
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: a pure white tail powder and I try to I
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: don't know if that's in my head or if it works,
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: but I put that stuff in the scrapes and they
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: seem to really be active and check them a lot.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: That's cool.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: So are you waiting on a deer to show up
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: in daylight on that scrape before you move in?
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: I will, But it's such it's been so consistent over
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: the years. Anytime in the tree that I can get
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: in late October, the week before Halloween.
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: Is it's go time.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: Hey, tell me a little more about that white lightning. Man,
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: I don't it's a powder.
• 12:16
  Speaker 6: Form, he said, So, yes it is.
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: I found it through a buddy a few years ago,
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: and I just you can order it online or anywhere.
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: But it's a it is a little white can and
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: now it might be clear now, but it's blue baby
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: powder looking stuff and you pour it in your scrape
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: and it's a white lightning. Is the peak dough in estras,
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: you know, so it's ready to be bred. Well, when
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: the dough PE's in there, he's thinking that there's a
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: hot dough in the area, and he comes back a
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: lot to check that scrape pretty frequently. And I've killed
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: the last three bucks in October, well, two in October
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: twenty seventh, and one on October twenty six checking a
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: scrape because I've put that white lightning in it.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: That's pretty sick. See, I thought you Kentucky boys are
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: about your bourbon. But you like the white lightning to yourself.
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: You know, you're a pretty good trick them. And you
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: don't paying it yourself right, because you wouldn't win any alphab.
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: I have done that before, And I don't know, you know,
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: but I've seen people do it and say.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: It works, so I'm not opposed to it.
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: I'm not the type that, you know, if I got
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: a p all pe out of the stay and it
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: doesn't bother me.
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you just got to watch which way you're facing
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: when the trail cameras around, that's for sure. Are you are.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: These mock scrapes or scrapes that are naturally made by
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: No I have.
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: I've never actually made my own scrape. I just over
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: the years of consistency, they'll use a lot of the
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: same scrapes. So I just kind of go in there
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: on their scrapes that they've started in early October, and
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: then I started about the first week of October. I'll
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: start every time I go to check my cameras or stuff.
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: Like that, all throw a little bit of that powder
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: in the screen.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: So what are your cameras showing right now? Do you
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: have daylight movement yet?
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: Yes, I've had a lot of I've had a lot
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: of bucks moving in daylight. It's been very dry here
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: in Kentucky. We haven't had rain in several weeks, but
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: it's just the leaves are falling and they're they're feeling theirselves.
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: You know, they're getting there, they know what's coming.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: So yeah, it's just that time of year. Man, It's
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: it's super exciting. No matter if it's cold, whatever, we
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: you know, the deer have to do the thing. I'm
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: glad for it. So you think that it's time to
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: start hunting mornings yet or are you going to concentrate
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: on evenings.
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: So I've had several buddies hunting the mornings that I've
• 14:41
  Speaker 5: had and I've had buddies that have success in the mornings,
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: But me personally, I'm not gonna lie. I've never killed
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: a buck in the morning. And it's not that I
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: don't like hunting mornings. I love hunting mornings, but I
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: just a lot of my spots I have more luck
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: in slipping in in the afternoon without bumping deer.
• 15:00
  Speaker 7: You know.
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's hard not to bump them in the mornings,
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: but I hunt them wide open.
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: I like to hunt them too. Yeah, that's how I
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: am too, man. I had killed a lot of deer
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: in the evenings. But yeah, yeah, so.
• 15:12
  Speaker 6: It's kind of like a thing.
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: I want to get that off my chest. Yeah, but
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: I just have so much more success in afternoons.
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's easier to make a game plan sometimes in
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: the afternoons. Man, So I hear you on that. Well,
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: if you're looking at at trail camera photos and having
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: success and and just knowing what's coming up, how do
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: you feel about buck movement? What would you rate it
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: on a scale of one to ten in the next week.
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: You know, I'm gonna be optimistic and I'm going to
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: give it a seven to eight. I think it's it's
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: really going to amp up here, seeing that we'll be
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: seeing a lot of deer hit the ground in Kentucky,
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: I would say all right.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: I would too, man, I think those are valid numbers,
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: especially looking at what time of year we're in.
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: Chandler. Thanks for the report, man, and congrats a big buck. Hey,
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: thank you guys so much. This is our good buddy,
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: Gordon Dalton with blue Ridge Hunting. Gordon. The story of
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: how we met is pretty wild, but it's been a
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: few years that we've known each other, and you are
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: a guy that stays on big Bucks in a unique
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: part of the US. You've been out hunting in Virginia
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: is where I'm guessing.
• 16:20
  Speaker 6: Yes, sir, Western part of Virginia.
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: All right, man, And so tell us real quick what
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: that country looks like.
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: And it's steep, steep and thick.
• 16:30
  Speaker 8: This is the Blue Ridge Mountains, western central Virginia. So
• 16:34
  Speaker 8: it's east coast standards, pretty steep, pretty rugged where I
• 16:38
  Speaker 8: am at.
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: Least got you a lot of oaks around, a lot
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: of oaks.
• 16:42
  Speaker 8: And we're having a pretty good oak year here with
• 16:44
  Speaker 8: the white oaks, chestnut oaks especially.
• 16:47
  Speaker 6: Of course the red oaks are good. But yeah, it's a.
• 16:50
  Speaker 8: Pretty pretty heavy white oak acorn crop this year.
• 16:54
  Speaker 6: I would say, not like we had.
• 16:55
  Speaker 8: A couple of years ago, but it's it's definitely, you know,
• 16:58
  Speaker 8: thick enough that they're they're staying tight up in.
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: There, gotcha. So are the Are the oaks the key
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: right now that you've been seeing lately or are there
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: other things at play that you're hunting from?
• 17:08
  Speaker 8: From what I see, Yeah, it's all about, you know,
• 17:10
  Speaker 8: the oaks being up high on those ridges.
• 17:12
  Speaker 6: With the oaks, especially.
• 17:14
  Speaker 8: In the Mountain Laurel, which is where we usually find
• 17:16
  Speaker 8: you know, there's the oaks and Mountain Laurel often kind
• 17:19
  Speaker 8: of go together in the shady parts.
• 17:20
  Speaker 6: Or up on the ridges.
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly that Laurel is betting, I'm guessing or I.
• 17:25
  Speaker 8: Think so, yeah, betting and cover. I am not seeing
• 17:28
  Speaker 8: a lot down in the fields, you know, even at
• 17:31
  Speaker 8: night when I'm driving home, I don't. I'm not seeing
• 17:33
  Speaker 8: them down in the low grassy areas. They're up in
• 17:36
  Speaker 8: the up high in the oaks.
• 17:37
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: H So from following you on social and just kind
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: of seeing the hunt you're doing, it looks like you've
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: already got a decent amount of rut movement. Where do
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: you think the deer are in the scale of the road.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: Is it like a normal Midwest you know, first and second,
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: wait to November?
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: Are you ahead of that or what's it like?
• 17:55
  Speaker 8: I think we're right on track, you know, Like the
• 17:58
  Speaker 8: more I do this, the more I see this last
• 18:00
  Speaker 8: part of October.
• 18:01
  Speaker 6: I think today's what the twenty eighth when we're talking.
• 18:03
  Speaker 8: And this seems to be like when it when the
• 18:06
  Speaker 8: older bucks kind of start to pick up.
• 18:08
  Speaker 6: And that's what I've seen on the ground, you know.
• 18:10
  Speaker 8: I saw a little bucks chasing the previous week, and
• 18:13
  Speaker 8: then last Friday, I don't know if you saw it.
• 18:16
  Speaker 8: I posted a video just on my way to work
• 18:18
  Speaker 8: of a pretty good buck chasing a dough. I didn't
• 18:21
  Speaker 8: even realize there was a dot at first. But yeah,
• 18:23
  Speaker 8: so he started, you know, he was in the game.
• 18:25
  Speaker 8: And then Sunday I let a really nice buck go
• 18:29
  Speaker 8: and I'll probably regret that.
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: That's what I.
• 18:32
  Speaker 8: They're just starting to get into the game.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So are you transitioned to pinch points yet? Are
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: you still trying to hunt sign and find places where
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: dere are?
• 18:41
  Speaker 8: Lately I've been getting up you know, like I say,
• 18:43
  Speaker 8: in the oaks. This is the time of year where
• 18:46
  Speaker 8: I start, you know, looking at those scrapes for sure.
• 18:49
  Speaker 8: I know a lot of people don't want to hunt
• 18:50
  Speaker 8: over a scrape.
• 18:51
  Speaker 6: I've had good.
• 18:51
  Speaker 8: Luck this time of year, specifically, like last couple of
• 18:55
  Speaker 8: days of October. Maybe in the next you know, into
• 18:58
  Speaker 8: the first part of November. Yeah, that's that's been my
• 19:01
  Speaker 8: plan so far. That you're staying tight up in those oaks.
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: So you'll you'll do you think in the next week
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: you'll stay with those scrapes in the tight cover or
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: are you gonna move.
• 19:10
  Speaker 8: Out As we get into next week, I would be
• 19:13
  Speaker 8: looking for for some pinch point, trying to catch things
• 19:15
  Speaker 8: cruising because I don't think you know, that many doose
• 19:19
  Speaker 8: are coming in yet, but maybe yeah, trying to look
• 19:21
  Speaker 8: at I mean, I'm always looking for those little terrain
• 19:23
  Speaker 8: pinch points in terms of in the oaks, like narrow
• 19:27
  Speaker 8: parts of ridges and little gullies that come up to
• 19:29
  Speaker 8: the ridges. That's that's what i was doing last last weekend.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: So are you are you using those more than you're
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: using like a certain I guess quote unquote feed tree,
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: like one that they prefer for whatever reason.
• 19:42
  Speaker 8: So this year I've been hitting areas that have historically
• 19:45
  Speaker 8: been really really good, you know, with with the oaks
• 19:49
  Speaker 8: and not so much specific feed trees. Last year when
• 19:53
  Speaker 8: we had fewer white oaks, that specific tree kind of
• 19:56
  Speaker 8: thing that seemed to work better. It seems like a
• 19:59
  Speaker 8: prett a uniform crop this year. But they seem to
• 20:02
  Speaker 8: like to feed in certain parts.
• 20:03
  Speaker 6: Of the ridges.
• 20:05
  Speaker 8: So that's kind of like what I've been looking at
• 20:06
  Speaker 8: places I've found in the past just from boots on
• 20:09
  Speaker 8: the ground, you know, just finding those that spot that
• 20:12
  Speaker 8: they like to be, which I think is more specific.
• 20:15
  Speaker 6: To like bedding. You know, they're bedding.
• 20:17
  Speaker 8: In this little oak laurel clump and then they're coming
• 20:21
  Speaker 8: out to different oak trees near the bedding. I think
• 20:24
  Speaker 8: it's probably what's really happening there. I like to get
• 20:27
  Speaker 8: a site near the bedding, but where they come out,
• 20:29
  Speaker 8: you know, they'll bed down and then they'll get up
• 20:31
  Speaker 8: and feed a little bit, you know, near their bed
• 20:34
  Speaker 8: and that's often what the kind of place I'm in cool.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: So with the you know, the the good oak acorn
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: crop and then with just the good dates that we
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: have coming up here, I know you're excited about getting
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: out there and hunting. And if you had to rank
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: it on a scale of one to ten for big
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: buck movement during the daylight, what are you going to
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: call in the next week.
• 20:53
  Speaker 8: For next week, man, for big bucks, I would have
• 20:56
  Speaker 8: to say probably getting up near eight. Yeah, in terms
• 20:59
  Speaker 8: of the you know, the year long scale. Yeah, in
• 21:01
  Speaker 8: terms of movement that that helps us as hunters, Yeah,
• 21:05
  Speaker 8: seven or eight.
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: I agree, man, for sure.
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: Awesome, dude, Well, thanks for the report from Virginia and
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: I can't wait to see what you put on the ground.
• 21:11
  Speaker 6: Yes, they're the same same to you guys. Good luck.
• 21:17
  Speaker 9: M m m H.
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: We're talking to Michael Huntsucker from Heartland bow Hunter and
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: he again has been he's our correspondent in Colorado pretty much. So, uh,
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: if we know any y tail hunters in Colorado, it
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: is Michael Huntsucker. That's the only one. Michael has it doing.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: How's it going, man, it's going good.
• 22:05
  Speaker 7: I'm happy to be happy to be the Colorado of correspondent.
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: Man, It's it's real pretty out there this time of year.
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: It looks like every every year. I'm like, man, the
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: colors out there are amazing. You know, as we get
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: into this late October time period, it seems like you're
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: out there a lot in October, but you usually having
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: to go back in November. Do you feel like October
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: is the time to be out there?
• 22:31
  Speaker 7: You know, it's really depending on the weather, and you
• 22:34
  Speaker 7: know it also is delegated by the rifle season opening up.
• 22:38
  Speaker 7: So you know this year, archery season ran until October
• 22:42
  Speaker 7: twenty fifth, So I always hunt that last full week
• 22:45
  Speaker 7: of archery. That's gonna be the best, you know, opportunity
• 22:48
  Speaker 7: you had before rifles. So I always hunt that last week.
• 22:50
  Speaker 7: And it's really really dictated by weather. If you don't
• 22:52
  Speaker 7: get the cooler weather and stuff, you don't see the
• 22:54
  Speaker 7: pre red activity. And then if I don't fill my tag,
• 22:57
  Speaker 7: I go back after rifle, and obviously conditions of that
• 23:02
  Speaker 7: time of year typically are a lot better, although somewhat
• 23:05
  Speaker 7: influenced from hunting pressure.
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I got you. So what's what's the hot ticket
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: in the last week or so there? What were you
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: where you finding bucks?
• 23:14
  Speaker 7: I was, you know, hunting either you know, kind of
• 23:17
  Speaker 7: pink points between you know, thick cover, bedding cover, or
• 23:20
  Speaker 7: hunting some pretty active scrapes that had blown up in
• 23:23
  Speaker 7: the past week. That was kind of my focus. We
• 23:27
  Speaker 7: you know, weren't getting a whole lot of daylight activity,
• 23:30
  Speaker 7: and so I just wanted to be somewhere close to
• 23:32
  Speaker 7: where I thought they were bedded. That way, when they
• 23:34
  Speaker 7: did move, you know, right before dark that hopefully we
• 23:37
  Speaker 7: Las Island.
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: What was there any cruising or anything going on or
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: were you mostly seeing just a bed to food movement.
• 23:45
  Speaker 7: We did see a little bit of bucks kind of
• 23:47
  Speaker 7: cruising a little bit. We saw one buck kind of
• 23:49
  Speaker 7: following a dough type bumping her and then we actually rattled.
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: The buck in as well.
• 23:54
  Speaker 7: So I was doing a doing kind of a blind
• 23:58
  Speaker 7: rettle on the on the edge of the river there,
• 24:00
  Speaker 7: and you know, those bucks seem to be fighters, man,
• 24:03
  Speaker 7: they always you know it seems early to rattle, but
• 24:06
  Speaker 7: they always bust their racks and bust their times early.
• 24:09
  Speaker 7: And that's so when that first dough comes into heat,
• 24:11
  Speaker 7: I'm sure there's always a battle wherever that is. So
• 24:14
  Speaker 7: I decided to kind of imitate that and actually rattled
• 24:17
  Speaker 7: in a really good buck that's probably only three years old,
• 24:20
  Speaker 7: but was you know, every bit of one fifty five
• 24:22
  Speaker 7: one sixty, so really good up and comer nice.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: So can you go in a little bit more about
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: the sound of the rattling that you're doing, you said,
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: imitated that. Are you really trying to make it sound
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: like two mature bucks you're trying to kill each other?
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: Or are you do it more with a tickle?
• 24:37
  Speaker 7: So I actually usually i start out with, you know,
• 24:40
  Speaker 7: kind of a softer rat all kind of more like
• 24:42
  Speaker 7: a spar and then I'll take a break, you know,
• 24:44
  Speaker 7: for five ten minutes whatever and see if anything comes
• 24:47
  Speaker 7: to investigate, and then if if nothing does kind of investigate,
• 24:50
  Speaker 7: then I'll then I'll bang them together a little harder.
• 24:52
  Speaker 7: And I'm doing this too late in the morning as well,
• 24:54
  Speaker 7: so you know, blind rattling is a thing like obviously
• 24:57
  Speaker 7: gets a lot of attention, but you can do more
• 24:59
  Speaker 7: harm than good if you're just blind rattling in the
• 25:02
  Speaker 7: middle of a timber block where deer can just circle
• 25:04
  Speaker 7: right down when so usually in the situations where I'm
• 25:07
  Speaker 7: blind rattling, I have a hard edge behind me. So
• 25:10
  Speaker 7: whether that be a river or a big creek or
• 25:13
  Speaker 7: something that's gonna prevent the deer from getting down wind,
• 25:15
  Speaker 7: that's that's huge if you're gonna blind rattle. But also
• 25:19
  Speaker 7: I was I was doing this rattle sequence kind of
• 25:21
  Speaker 7: later in the morning basically like if there's a buck,
• 25:23
  Speaker 7: you know, in ear shot that we can't see that's
• 25:26
  Speaker 7: not in his bed, Like, you know, what do you
• 25:28
  Speaker 7: have to lose? Like if there's either a buck that
• 25:30
  Speaker 7: is and here's it, it's going to come, or there's
• 25:33
  Speaker 7: nothing within earshot and you're not heard anything. So that
• 25:36
  Speaker 7: was kind of my outlook on it. Obviously a little
• 25:38
  Speaker 7: more aggressive with that because.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: The week went on closer to the end of the
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: week for sure, So a lot of people like to
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: think about the moon and how it relates back to deer,
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: and I know that there's quite the gambit of different
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: opinions on it. As we looked towards this last week
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: of October, here that we're in the hunting, it's going
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: to be a new moon. Do you think that affects
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: deer movement or you know, when you may or may
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: not see deer on their feet. I don't.
• 26:04
  Speaker 7: I don't put a whole lot of you know, faith
• 26:07
  Speaker 7: into the moon phases. As much as I do like
• 26:11
  Speaker 7: the moon rise and the moon set and the timing
• 26:14
  Speaker 7: of that, I seem to correlate more deer movement with that.
• 26:17
  Speaker 7: I don't know what the scientific you know, reasoning is
• 26:19
  Speaker 7: behind or if there is scientific proof behind deer movement
• 26:23
  Speaker 7: moon other than obviously ambient you know, light and that
• 26:27
  Speaker 7: type of thing. But we're also just getting closer and
• 26:29
  Speaker 7: closer to the rut and those first doughs are going
• 26:32
  Speaker 7: to be coming into astros. So regardless, you know, if
• 26:36
  Speaker 7: the weather's right, that's that seems to be the number
• 26:38
  Speaker 7: one determining factor aside from just the timing of the years.
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: Is the weather. So in the next week, would you
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: change up your tactic, Sarah.
• 26:47
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I definitely would probably get a little more aggressive
• 26:50
  Speaker 7: and be honting more of the kind of rut style stuff. Obviously,
• 26:53
  Speaker 7: it's like I said, it's rifle season. So if you're
• 26:56
  Speaker 7: rifle hunting, you would obviously, you know, be probably areas
• 27:00
  Speaker 7: where you can see more to where if I was
• 27:03
  Speaker 7: bow hunting. When I do get back there to bow hunt,
• 27:05
  Speaker 7: I'll be hunting in in tighter areas, closer to bedding areas,
• 27:08
  Speaker 7: and more of those rut style stands that are a
• 27:10
  Speaker 7: little more aggressive that I wouldn't typically do in the
• 27:13
  Speaker 7: late October.
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: Gotcha. So in the next week, what do you think
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: buck movie is going to be like? On a scale
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: of one to ten.
• 27:21
  Speaker 7: Man, I think it's going to be a nine nine
• 27:23
  Speaker 7: and a half.
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: All Right, it looks good.
• 27:27
  Speaker 7: We're finally over this little hump of warm weather and
• 27:30
  Speaker 7: this cold front's coming in on Halloween. Everybody wants to
• 27:33
  Speaker 7: kill a Halloween buck. I'm gonna be hunting in Iowa
• 27:36
  Speaker 7: trying to kill a Halloween buck. But yeah, this next
• 27:40
  Speaker 7: week looks phenomenal. It does look a little wet, especially
• 27:44
  Speaker 7: you know across the board in Colorado, in the Midwest
• 27:46
  Speaker 7: and so but the temperatures drop, they stay down and
• 27:50
  Speaker 7: you got some good fluctuations of you know, storms coming in,
• 27:53
  Speaker 7: you know, rain hitting and drying out deer. The bucks
• 27:56
  Speaker 7: go nuts, you know, right after the rain stops to
• 27:58
  Speaker 7: go check all those scrapes and hit this, and so
• 28:01
  Speaker 7: I like what I see for the next ten days.
• 28:02
  Speaker 7: That's my favorite, my favorite ten days.
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: Awesome, dude. Well, thanks for hopping on man. I hope
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: you have a great hunt in Iowa. Appreciate it. Michael, Yeah,
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: thanks for having me. We're talking to Scotty Lego. He
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: is a former Olympian and now he's an Olympian deer
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: hunter because that's all he does all day, right, Scotty.
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, you know, I'm just trying my best
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: to live the dream, you know, as much as I can,
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: and you know, avoid a real life job, you.
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: Know, don't we all, man, aren't we all? That's awesome.
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: So you've been in Massachusetts recently? Had some success?
• 28:36
  Speaker 6: There, is that?
• 28:37
  Speaker 7: Right?
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: I did?
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: I actually killed my biggest buck with a bow today.
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: Oh dude, way to go, wait to go, Thank you
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: you kill it? What was the what was the key
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: tactic there? Man? I?
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: Uh, I just I found his little hiding hole, okay,
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: And I would say decently pressured area.
• 28:59
  Speaker 6: For acquired some.
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: Different tactics and some permission. I'll just leave it at that.
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: But I saw him coming out of the swamp about
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: forty five minutes before before dark, and he was walking
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: away from me. He was about one hundred yards out
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: and it was decently windy day, and I grabbed my
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: grunt call grunted out of him like three different times,
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: pretty aggressive because I wasn't sure if he was walking
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: he'd be able to hear or you know, could hear
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: over the wind. And he came in. He circled cut
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: down wind. I didn't have I didn't have any shooting lanes.
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: That was right on the edge of a swamp. So
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: he went straight down wind to me about twenty yards.
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: Hung there for five minutes, and somehow I passed the
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: scent test. I don't know if it was a pretty
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: strong wind like I was saying, so maybe it was
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: going right over the top of him. But saw a
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: tail flicker. He turned, rubbed a tree in the swamp
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: and then jumped out of the open hardwoods.
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: And I didn't give them too much.
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: Time to hang out when I had it, when I
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: had a twenty.
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: Yard so I stuffed him and way to go. That's awesome.
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: That's incredible, man. So this this deer, you were close
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: to his bed, so you think betting has been kind
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: of key. Is the weather going to change and change
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: anything for you in the woods in Massachusetts anytime soon?
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: You think, yeah, I mean it's been good. It's been
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: a it's been you know, decently cold, really cold mornings
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: these last two days. We are getting some crazy warm
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: weather coming up. I guess it's going to be like
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: close to eighty, which you know, it's pretty insane because
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: it's you know, it's low forties right now. So I
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: have no clue what that's going to do for deer movement.
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: Obviously it's not going to be good. But given like
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: you know, the time of year, October twenty ninth, I mean,
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: awesome time to be in the woods. You know, there's
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: just like peak sign is being laid down everywhere, and
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: I'm seeing from Osservation a lot of bucks in checking bumping,
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: does a little bit of chasing. And then I just
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: got a a buck on my moultree this today at
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: eleven o'clock. So that's pretty rare, like at least for
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: our area getting a buck like around mid day.
• 31:16
  Speaker 6: So I don't know, I feel like it's we're in
• 31:20
  Speaker 6: the heart of it. It's getting really good.
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: So uh, since you have you know, the rut days
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: are coming.
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: Uh, Are you gonna have your grunt call on hand
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: throughout this whole time?
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: Is that? Is that a tactic?
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: If you see a deer that's not range, are you
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: gonna grind into ringing closer?
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely, gotta gotta gotta give it a shot.
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: I have it pretty handy. I have it.
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: I run a little fanny pack, so I got it
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: right here pack And yeah.
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: Man, what about blind calling anything that you do there?
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: I have dabbled with that before in the past. I've
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: had no success with it, but it really made me
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: think when I when I grunted that end the other day,
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: I'm like, you know, that was like almost one hundred
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: yards away, and I'm like, geez, I'm like, maybe I
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: should do some blin some blind calling. But no doubt
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: he you know, he went directly down wind, so I
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: it would have to be a pretty strategic location.
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely makes sense. So as you look forward to
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: the next week, we got really good dates.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: There's some hot weather clothes, but there's a cold front
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: that's going to hit pretty much most of the country
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: later on in the weekend. With all that in mind,
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: on a scale of one to ten. If you're going
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: to give Buck Movement a rating there in Massachusetts, what
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: would you rate it?
• 32:35
  Speaker 5: Man?
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: I gotta go.
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: If if you're if you're in the box, if you
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: know where where they're at, and have a basic idea
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: of maybe a loose pattern, I would I would give
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: it an eight, all right. I think I think it's
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: you know, pre damn good.
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: And if you have no.
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: Clue clue where they're at, you know, and you're kind
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: of waiting for the right, I would give it, you know,
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: five with this this warm weather gotcha?
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: Well that's awesome, man, I don't know. Yeah, yeah, that
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: did make No that makes sense for sure. So Scotty,
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: are the Celtics gonna win the championship again next year?
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: Uh?
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: You know I'm rooting for them, honestly, I know I was.
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: I was.
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: I was with him for you know, their all their winds,
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: and now I just have kind of faded off and
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: I haven't been paying attention to dear season.
• 33:24
  Speaker 5: Man.
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: You know, you got to go out there it was
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: and you just forget everything else going on. Man, So
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: I appreciate you hopping on, Scotty, and uh go get
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: you another one man? All right? Man? I appreciate it.
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: Thank you, brother.
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: I'm fired up about some deer Hunting Brothers stories. These
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: reports are good and it's nice to uh to feel
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: like we're in that time.
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: Of year, and it for sure is. Man.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: We're driving across the country right now, the leaves are
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: falling off of trees. I'm seeing yellows and reds and
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: and corn getting harvested, and there's deer in the fields
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: in the evenings like this is the time of year
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: that I look forward to every year.
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: I know it, man, I like to hype about it
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: a little bit.
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: If you need a little bit of hype in your
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: life and you need even some in depth tactics, I'm
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: going to give Mark King a little nod here.
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: Mark does a really good job on.
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: His podcast to getting good guests on the show to
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: really deep dive into deer hunting tactics. And this time
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: of year actually is a really good time of year
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: to tune in for this kind of stuff.
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: So if you haven't seen.
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: Mark's episode with Steve Pinkston, you should definitely go to
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: listen to that. They do a deep dive into tactics
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: for killing big bucks, and that's what we are here for.
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: Kill big Bucks. There'll be a link for that below. Also,
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: the Element podcast is well.
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: We'll link to that.
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: Tyler and I give a lot of our thoughts and
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: tactics and tried and true ideas for hunting white tailed
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: deer as well.
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot of that comes from us just being
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: out in the field and we just talked about what
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: happened to what we saw the week before. So it's
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: pretty up to date too. It's almost like a retfresh
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: just a little bit different, only you know our perspective.
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: There's also one last thing we talked about earlier that
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: you need to go do as soon as this podcast
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: is over before you listen to other podcasts, and that's
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: go to our YouTube channel and check out what we've
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: all what we've put out there. But most of all,
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: like I said earlier, hopefully we have Case's moose that
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: he shot that actually it would be called a white tail,
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: but it looks like a movie. Genetically it's a white tail,
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: but phonetically there you looks like a mood. They go,
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: you go check that out on our YouTube channel.
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: This is Reugh Fresh, Keep it Fresh.
