  Speaker 1: Welcome to the Wired to Hunt Foundations podcast, your guide
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: to the fundamentals of better deer hunting, presented by first Light,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: creating proven versatile hunting apparel for the stand, saddle or blind.

  Speaker 2: Hey, everyone, welcome to the Wired to Hunt Foundation's podcast,
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: which is brought to you by first Light. I'm your host,
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Tony Peterson, and today's episode is all about understanding plant
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: life and how it affects almost all of our non
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: rut deer hunting strategies. I mean, what a better time
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: to talk about a super pooring ass subject than right now.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: After all, you know, while our southern brothers and sisters
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: are probably well past the green up stage in the
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: woods where they live, even those of us Near Canadians
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: can look outside and see a world vastly change from
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: a month or two ago. The bloom of plant life
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: as the top half of the earth tips closer to
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: the sun is truly incredible, and all of that greenery
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: out there is relevant to us as hunters, especially if
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: we learn how to use it to our advantage, which
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: is what I'm going to talk about right now. A
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: lot of people believe that summer is hot because the
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Earth is closer to the Sun then, and winter is
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: cold because well, it's farther away. But that's not how
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: it works. Although the Earth's orbit around the Sun isn't
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: a perfect circle, it's actually a bit lopsided. The reason
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: seasons vary in temperature is due to the tilt of
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: the Earth, or the old wobble of it all. So
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: why does the Earth do this? Because when our planet
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: was newly formed and things were a bit more chaotic
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: in space, we got hit by a smaller planet. It
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: knocked Earth off of its axis by about twenty three degrees,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: and that wobble puts the top half of the Earth
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: closer to the Sun at certain points, and then the
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: bottom half at certain points, but the whole Earth doesn't
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: get closer farther away. Now, fun fact as well, that
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: collision is what caused a whole bunch of planetary material
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: to shoot off into and some of that coalesced into
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: our Moon as it was caught up in Earth's gravity. Now,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: why does all of this matter at all to deer hunting?
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: We'll get there, buddy. That wobble which creates the seasons
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: also allows plant life to grow lush as hell when
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: either the northern or the southern hemisphere is pointed more
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: towards the sun. Now, the equatorial regions experience a much
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: more muted version of this. This essentially allows the whole
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: earth to take a big breath every year. When the
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: plant life is flourishing in the northern hemisphere, a lot
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: of carbon dioxide is converted to oxygen, which is good
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: for us, since without it, we'd all be as dead
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: as the next jake will be when he wanders into
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: my decoys. Now, when the northern hemisphere starts to tip
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: away and the southern starts to tip closer, the balance
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: starts to shift with who is doing the heavy lifting
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: as far as keeping plenty of oxygen in the atmosphere
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: for us to breathe in. Stuff, And what we are
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: learning about plants lately is even wilder. Take bamboo for example,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: you know, the favorite food source of those lovable idiot
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: panda bears. This plant is the fastest growing plant we
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: know of. It can grow thirty five inches a day.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: It's kind of like the deer antlers and their ability
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: to generate bone at a rate that is just the
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: usane bolt of uh bone growing. That feels wrong somehow. Anyway,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Archaeologists have found evidence of grape cultivation, specifically for wine making,
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: as far back as eight thousand years ago. In the
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: sixteen hundreds, tulips were so valuable in Holland that their
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: bulbs were worth more than gold. If you want a
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: crazy lesson in how to invest in stocks, do some
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: due diligence on the tulip mania craze. There are many,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: many valuable financial lessons wrapped up in that one. Sulfuric
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: compounds are the reason we teer up when we cut onions,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: except for Mark, who cries when he cuts most vegetables
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: and fruits for reasons known only to him and hopefully
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: his therapist. Now, some plants are medicine, some are for
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: fun and watching South Park while eating potato chips and
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: fruit roll ups, and some are essential to the well
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: being of herbivores, like deer. You see what I did there?
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: I most lost you, but then bam, it reeled you
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: back in. The thing about deer hunting in general is
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: that we are on a constant quest to take the
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: guesswork out of the whole process. This is no more
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: evident than by looking at the food block craze. You
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: want to kill a mature buck without having you know,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: too many big brain moments, then clear out an acre,
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: give the soil some TLC, plant some clover, and wait,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: we know deer eat clover or brassicas or whatever. So
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: the whole thing gets pretty simple. And we like simple
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: when it comes to hunting, because well, it's better than complicated,
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: I guess. But not everyone has the means to plant
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: a food plot, or the desire to sit in the
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: same spot and stare at the same view until along
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: comes the right book. There's a world of white tails
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: beyond that style, and anyone who is engaged in it
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: would do well to try to understand plants better. I've
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: talked about the number of plants deer known to eat
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: in the past, and if I remember correctly, it's something
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: like six hundred different kinds. That's just what we know of.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: There's probably a lot more, but that's a lot, and
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: most of it doesn't matter at all to any one
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: of us on any given season. What matters instead is
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: to understand your local region to some extent, and to
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: focus on what the deer should be eating and when
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: they should be eating that plant. I look at this
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: process in two different ways, kind of specific and then general.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: On the specific side, it's knowing exactly what type of
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: plant the deer eat, or I guess part of a
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: plant the deer eat. In my world, an easy example
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: of this is nettles. I don't really know how they
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: do it, but I know that they do eat them.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: You know, those dark green broad leaf plants that suck
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: a lot to walk through when you're hanging stands or
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: hunting in September often show signs of heavy brows, especially
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: at the tops. Now in my world, that might last
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: until early October, and then that pattern will be dead.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: There are some things I know about nettles which helped
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: me absolutely kill deer on them. They grow in places
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: with moist soil, like river bottoms, which is a huge
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: plus because I like river bottoms very much. They often
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: stay green longer than vegetation that's nearby but not in
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: the same little micro habitat. This helped me kill a
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: buck last year in Iowa. It was literally the reason
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: I sat where I did and deer after deer showed
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: me they preferred the dark green, moist broad leaf plants
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: there over the mostly dry brows in the rest of
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: the woods. These kind of plants are also easy to
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: read when they are being browsed, which can show you
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: right where to hunt, or areas the deer are definitely
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: passing through at any given moment. All of that is
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: a huge benefit, and it comes from understanding one type
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: of plant. That's it. Now, what if you don't want
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: to dig deep and identify a bunch of different plants
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: to hunt specifically, then you can play that generalist game
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: that Iowa buck from last year. He and a bunch
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: of other deer were hanging out on the river bottom
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: because the cover was better than everywhere else, and in
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: that cover was a whole bunch of good brows. You
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: wouldn't have needed to know how to identify any one
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: type of plant. You just would have had to recognize
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: that most of the woods on the bluffs were dry
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: and devoid of greenery, while the river valley just contained
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: more moisture, which means more nutritious and palatable plants during
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: drought years. Or look at it another way. A few
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: weeks back, I walked a bunch of public land in
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: northern Wisconsin that all kind of looks the same until
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: you start paying closer attention. There are some hill there,
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: which means higher drier ground, and then there's lower wetter ground,
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: which influences plant growth. But there is also a timber
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: industry there that creates vastly different plant growth opportunities. Those
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: soft edges in the timber that guys like me are
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: always spouting off about, well, they're not just places where
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: bucks travel because they are often a bit thicker than
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: the surrounding areas. They also happen to be where two
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: types of habitat meet but neither dominates. This allows for
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: fringe species to thrive, the ones that need a certain
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: mix of shade and sunlight that the old growth and
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: the clearcuts just don't offer. What that means is it
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: concentrates certain plants in a kind of tight ish line,
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: which is part of the reason deer and other animals
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: love soft edges so much. Since they are generally concentrated,
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: you can do a browse check pretty quickly on soft
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: edges to see what's going on there, and you can
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: double check your work by looking for droppings and tracks
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: other sign That kind of thing is what separates the
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: tadpoles from the frogs my friends, and it's a lesson
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: I keep learning the more I keep hunting everything Helen
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: Turkey season. This year, I hunted a property I've hunted
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: a lot, and I kept seeing birds come out of
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: a specific spot that just didn't make much sense to me.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: So I went in and I looked at it, and
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: I found two things. One was a whole bunch of
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: red oak acorns that hadn't been gobbled up throughout the winter.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: The other was just a couple of grassy hillside spots
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: that were scratched to shit. I never figured out exactly
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: what they were scratching up there, but it didn't matter.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: They were using the area big time, and that's sometimes
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: all we can ask for. Now when it comes to deer,
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: there are different ways to look at this and how
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: it might play into a hunting strategy. Think about a
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: field edge, for example. We love to sit field edges
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: for many reasons, but where to sit on what field
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: edge matters a lot too. Exposure to sunlight will be
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: a factor in whether the early season bucks will come
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: out two hours before dark or at last light. Now
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: that west dish facing edge that gets soaked and burning
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: sunlight for the back half of the day isn't going
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: to be as good as the shadier sides in hot weather,
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: but it also might not offer up as much lush
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: brows as the field edges with a little better mix
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: of sunlight and shadows. That stuff matters, And if you
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: spend any amount of time looking through a spot or
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: in the summer, you know how often deer pop out
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: and then dive back into the cover, or how some
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: of them will mostly feed in the field for a
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: while but mix things up by standing on the edge
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: and browsing away. If I'm hunting the early season, I
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: want that main food source working for me, but I
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: also want that secondary brows working for me, Just like
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: I'd rather sit on on the edge of the bean
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: where white oaks are dropping their acorns versus not or
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: post up on the alfalfa near a couple apple trees
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: versus sitting on the alfalfa not near any granny smiths
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: drop into the ground. I look at understanding brows and
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: really masked as well as the micro part of the
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: whole thing, The macro part which a lot of us
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: don't move past, is that the deer walk into the
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: field and they eat, they set up there see deer
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: and sometimes kill them. But the micro part matters because
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: it's just more specific and being able to predict where
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: a buck will likely walk, like exactly where he'll walk,
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: that's pretty dang valuable. Another way to think about botany,
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: which kind of goes back to that Iowa buck example,
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: is this deer want the best bang for their bucks,
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: so to speak, when it comes to spending time eating something.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: Maybe this isn't the same thing, but think about this scenario.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: You wake up and don't have time for breakfast because
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: your dog puked on the floor and the kids have
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: to get to school, and for whatever reason, you don't eat,
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: and you're used to eating, what are you going to
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: be like at lunch? Ravenous and when you're super hungry,
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: what are you going to look for something quick in
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: calorie dnse. That's actually evolution at work, and in modern society,
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: it works against us because we have access to a
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: lot of easy, calorie dense food that is mostly very
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: very bad for us. But it's an undeniable poll that
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: if you don't prepare for it and you find yourself
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: suddenly very very hungry, you know what you're going to
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: do now with deer. They probably aren't skipping breakfast and
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: sitting in stupid deer Google meets all morning listening to
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: their deer. Coworkers try to justify their jobs by saying
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: dumb shit that didn't need to be said. But they
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: do get hungry, and they do have different dietary needs
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: depending on the time of year. A big one for
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: bucks is the lead up to the rut, where they
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: need to pack on the pounds like folks do when
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: they go on that survival show called Alone. Because when
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: the dose start going wild and the bucks are after them,
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: those bucks aren't going to eat a lot. They need
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: good calories and nutrients, and they are very, very familiar
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: with their home ground. So if some plant is still
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: green and lush and full of the good stuff that
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: it pulled from the soil, they are going to know
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: about that food source and they are going to find
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: it and use it. I think about this stuff a lot,
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: and I play this pattern a lot when I'm hunting
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: Western critters where there are either stock tanks or just
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: cattle ponds. A stock tank that overflows as almost like
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: a bait pile, where the ground is generally very dry,
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: that little swath of irrigated ground will have lush grasses
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: and other vegetation, and it'll concentrate deer or turkeys or
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: elk or whatever. Now there is the bonus of water,
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: of course, but even when it's cool and the rut
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: isn't on and the deer aren't dying of thirst at
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: any given point in the day, they will want to
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: eat that lush greenery because it's better for their bodies.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: Maybe that's the last point to talk about here when
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: it comes to understanding plant life better in your region
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: and why it matters to you as a hunter. We
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: like to dumb this stuff down to make the decision
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: making process much easier. So take a cut cornfield as
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: an example. Without question, if there are a deer around somewhere,
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: they're going to end up in that cut cornfield, especially
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: if it wasn't chisel plowed. That's easy, and you can
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: kill a hell of a lot of deer without knowing
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: much more than that. But is that cut cornfield the
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: same drawn October as it is in December? What about
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: if it's eighty degrees during the rut versus thirty. What
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: about the fact that a big cut cornfield is generally
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: a promise to the deer that a certain type of
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: carbs or calories is kind of static in their lives.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: They know they can go there at any point in
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: the night and they can scrounge around for enough kernels
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: to fill their bellies. That's great, but corn is only
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: going to give them a part of what they need
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: to be healthy enough to fade predators and pass on
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: their janes when the time comes. Depending on the region,
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: that part might be a big part, but it still
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: won't be the whole thing. Those cornfield deer are going
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: to find other sources of food to eat because their
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: bodies literally need them, and some of those food sources
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: will be short window heavy draw plants. This is one
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: of the reasons I love observation stands so much. When
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: I'm hunting new ground, watching a buck walk across a
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: creek in a certain spot huge advantage. But watching that
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: same buck spend an hour on the riverbank browsing away
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: is even better. Now I have that crossing to work with,
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: but also a browse pattern that will definitely be appealing
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: to more than just that deer. Hell, the reality of
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: that is that every deer you see browsing, whether it's
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: doze with a couple of fawnds or a booner is
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: giving you a gift because it's not accidental what they
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: are doing. It's intentional because they needed to serve. And
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: that's something we miss with a lot of the talk
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: about certain food sources, but especially masked you don't think
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: about persimmons. For example, a right per simon is a
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: sugar retreat, and we know that deer like them very much,
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: But why purely for the flavor? I doubt that while
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: we are inundated with sugar in so many different foods
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: to the point most of us consume way way too
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: much of it, the deer don't. They aren't rolling up
• 16:25
