  Speaker 1: Welcome to the Wired to Hunt Foundations podcast, your guide
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: to the fundamentals better dear hunting, presented by First Light,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: creating proven versatile hunting apparel through the stand saddler Blind,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: First Light, Go Farther, Stay Longer, and now your host,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Tony Peterson. Hey, everyone, welcome to the Wire to Hunt
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Foundations podcast, which is brought to you by First Light.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Today I'm talking about turkey hunting and how often something
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: happens during turkey season that can increase your dear knowledge.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: You don't really have to listen to too many of
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: these podcast episodes before you learn that I'm I don't know,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: sort of like an equal opportunity woodsman. I love small
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: game hunting, Western hunting, upland hunting, duck hunting, and of
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: course turkey hunting. In addition to the dear thing. Being
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: in the fields and in the woods and hell, even
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: on the water is always worth it and every activity
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: seems to feed the other activities. Now I've talked about
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: this a few times over the course of this podcast,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: but today I really want to break down turkey hunting
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: and the deer sightings that go with us. And like
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: I know, I've touched on this before, but I'm gonna
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: take a deep dive here because I think the deer
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: that you watch and even spoot when you're turkey hunting
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: can tell you a lot about what the deer will
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: do in the fall and give you an advantage when
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: you go from April or May out to September, October,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: and November. Two years ago, my buddy Adam and I
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: sat next to a giant oak tree, overlooking a clover
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: plot on a property he had just bought in southwestern Wisconsin.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: He faced one way, I faced another, and together we
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: listened to some distant gobbles. It really wasn't an ideal
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: May morning for but it wasn't bad. We took turns
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: calling and scratching away in the leaf litter until I
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: looked up and not twenty yards away stood a deer.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Through the budding foliage. I could see a doe staring
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: straight at me. This happens a lot during turkey season,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: and it almost always sucks. I don't know what deer
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: have against decoys or leafy suited hunters sitting statues still
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: next to a tree, but they don't like it. In fact,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: they hate it so much so that they almost always
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: give you a couple of two steps stomps before snorting
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: their stupid faces off and running away. Other deer key
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: in on this, but so do the turkeys. And nothing
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: will pull a gobbler out of strut faster than a
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: deer that is turning inside out over a perceived threat.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: It's kind of just game over when that happens, at
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: least for an hour or two. And that's what I
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: was thinking about as this dough stared holes in me,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: and then I noticed the deer behind her. They rarely
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: travel alone in the spring, so this didn't surprise me
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: at all. My dominant thought then was please just go
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: away quietly, Please just go away quietly. I was like
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: the person hiding in a closet in a horror movie
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: while the killer roam the hallway. Well, you know, not
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: that dramatic, but you get my drift. She didn't go
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: away quietly, though. She took off down the trail, ran
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: straight across the food plot, and entered the woods on
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: the far side with five other doughs and falls on
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: her tail. I didn't think a thing of that encounter
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: other than it probably messed up our turkey hunting, which
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: wasn't actually true. We found up pretty soon after because
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: it wasn't long, and we called in a trio of
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Jake's two of which made a huge mistake by stopping
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: in front of me at like twenty yards. But fast
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: forward six months and I was sitting in that same
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: food plot, but in a ground blind on a different
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: wood edge. I had a cameraman next to me, and
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: it was the fifth day of a seven day shoot
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: for our first season of one week in November. Not
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: only did I have a solid eight pointer come out
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: right next to the blind and play a perfect game
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: of stopping twice where we couldn't get him on camera,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: and when he finally did give me a shot, my
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: brain had melted into a puddle of primordial ooze, which
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: was totally incapable of complex calculations and tasks like oh,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know, holding a little green sight pin on
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: the body of a nice eight pointer and then hitting
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: the release like I've done four million times in my life. Anyway,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: after that whiff, we settled in to watch the only
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: deer that didn't leave the plot, a little button buck
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: who was too dumb for his own good. As camera
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: light faded and I was told we were no longer
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: able to film. Several dos charged out of the woods
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: on the exact trail. I had watched the doz walk
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: during Turkey season, and do you know who followed them
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: out one of the biggest bucks I've ever seen while
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: hunting on the exact same trail. He even got to
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: thirty eight yards imposed broadside. And let me tell you what.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: If I didn't have a job to do that required
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: footage of deer, there would have been arrows flying out
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: of that blind in his general direction because there was
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: still legal shooting light and it was wide open between
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: me and him. But instead I watched him chase dose
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: right out of my life. Now, last season, my buddy
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: was set up on that food plot and he watched
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: even more deer walk that trail across the plot from
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: both directions. Now I know you're thinking, okay, so if
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: you guys had scouted that trail, you would have known
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: it was a deer highway. But the thing is, in
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: that area southwest Wisconsin, there are deer highways everywhere. That
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: specific trail doesn't look any more worn down than the
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: hundreds of other trails on his property. They all look good.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: And when they all look good, they all kind of
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: carry equal weight as far as scouting is concerned, at
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: least till you get some cameras on them. Now, I've
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: had several experiences in multiple states. Take the goat of
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: deer hunting opportunities. Iowa. I'm slightly obsessed with some public
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: land and a part of the state I'm not going
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: to talk about on this podcast, but suffice it to
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: say it's just good deer in Turkey Ground, and even
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: though there is a decent amount of hunting pressure there,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: I just love it. The first time I hunted it,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: I was in high school and it was a random
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: trip down there. I was a one off Turkey hunt
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: with a buddy of mine and I didn't return until
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: like twenty nineteen again to Turkey hunt. What I saw
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: brought back a lot of memories and it made my
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: decision up that I was going to apply for a
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: deer tag there as soon as I thought I could draw.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: But before that, I turkey hunted, and during those Turkey
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: hunts a couple of sits in particular, I saw deer,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: I saw spring deer cross a meadow to go bed,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: and when I drew a deer tag, I hunted that
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: meadow and shot and unfortunately lost the biggest of my
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: life on public land. Where I ended up actually killing
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: a deer was several miles down the road on a
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: different chunk, but not on an unfamiliar parcel. I had
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: turkey hunted that too, and had watched deer walk along
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: a very specific part of a river bottom. Spring deer
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: movement often equals fall deer movement, my friends, hell probably
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: equal summer and winter movement as well, at least in
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: many places. When you're sitting out there at first light
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: and listening for some gobbles, don't just passively take note
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: of deer that you see. Watch them, watch them through
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: your binos. Watch exactly what trails they take, Watch exactly
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: where they go over, through or under barbed wire fences,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Watch how they leave the neighbor's field. This goes for
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: land that you actually deer hunt and land that you don't.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Now it's obviously more valuable if you're watching a chef
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: bucket his buddies walk across the corn stubble to enter
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: a wood lot that you absolutely can a deer hunt,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: but seeing deer in general is worthwhile. Accumulated hours of
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: watching wild deer interact with their environment is one of
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: the best ways to level up your skills in general. Specifically,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: it's even better to watch a deer do something on
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: a property that you'll be summer scouting and eventually hunting
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: during the fall. This goes for private ground as well
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: as public and even public ground, you might not want
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: a deer hunt because you have access to something better
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: or you think is better. This is one of the
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: things that has really surprised me over the years, and
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: was honestly one of the things that convinced me to
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: start hunting deer on public land pretty hard. I have
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: no hang ups at all about hunting public land turkeys,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: just like hunting upland birds on public land. I've been
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: to enough states, walked enough properties to believe that there
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: are so many good opportunities out there for gobblers or
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: pheasants or grouse and hell even quail. And even when
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: I was younger and thought that public land was always
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: second to private, no questions about it, thank you very much.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: I still hunted other critters on public land, and I
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: found shed antlers, and I found rubs and scrapes, and
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: I watched deer from Missouri to Minnesota to Wisconsin to
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: the Dakotas, to Nebraska, down to Oklahoma and quite a
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: few other states. Over and over, I'd chased turkeys and
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: I'd find more deer than I expected. That was a
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: benefit personally, because those experiences rewired my brain at least
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: a little bit to think about deer hunting differently, especially
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: deer hunting on pressured ground, of which it could be
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: public or it could be private. I had a lot
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: of hang ups, but they didn't come from action will
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: experience of being out there. They came from hearing and
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: believing a lot of the bullshit I still hear to
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: this day about hunting opportunities and how so many of
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: them aren't worth it for whatever reason. The thing is,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: this is stuff you can go verify for yourself, and
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: it's pretty easy to do that on a low pressure
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: run and gun turkey hunt. You have to look for
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: the deer sign and the deer, of course, but the
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: bigger thing is just to pay attention to what the
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: white tails are showing you. Seeing a lot of them
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: it's just a good confidence booster, but so as seeing
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: only a handful, but a handful of them doing something valuable.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: This goes for anywhere you hunt and isn't limited to
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: watching white tails that are totally unaware of your presence
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: and are making their way across the landscape totally unbothered.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: Spring also offers an advantage that we rarely get during
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: other parts of this season, the opportunity to see deer
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: actually lay down in bed or jump from their beds
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: at super close range and take off. Both of these
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: things have happened to me during the last few years
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: of turkey hunting, and both have provided some pretty valuable intel.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: I've watched more open country dear bed farther west while
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: working Miriam's turkeys, and it's always fascinating, you know. And
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: while there are bed hunting specialists out there and plenty
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: of disciples following their teachings, the truth is it's pretty
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: uncommon to actually observe a deer in its bed. Now
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: we find beds. We make a lot of assumptions about
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: betting areas and the behavior connected to betting, but rarely
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: do we actually get to witness them while they are betted.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: I look at this kind of like listening to deer
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: actually makes some kind of vocalization or I don't know,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: watching two bucks spar or fight. We know these behaviors
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: happen all the time, but how often do you actually
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: get to see them in person? For most of us,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: it's not very often. But I'll tell you what. If
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: you're into calling deer with a grunt tube or a
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: set of rattling antlers, watching deer actually grunt, or witnessing
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: two bucks really go at, it is an absolute learning experience.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: It's a game changer for becoming a better hunter watching
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: their behavior when they bed and then I don't get
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: up to reposition and bet again, and then get up
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: to munch and brows and then bet again, and then
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: get up to stare down in the drainage for fifteen
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: minutes without moving. It's a game changer. Two Or sneaking
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: up a bluff side while trying not to scare any
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: turkeys and then looking up ahead to see a buck
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: stand up out of his bed that is situated oh
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: so perfectly on a knob halfway down a ridge. That's
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: another game changer. When that happens, you need to ask yourself,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: what's the wind doing right here? What was his advance
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: nage in this spot at this moment? Because you know what,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: he'll do that again and again all year long. If
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: the conditions favor his survival, he'll do it in the
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: fall when you can hunt him. And if you know
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: a specific knob that is covered in prickly ash and
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: perfect for betting during a south or west wind, then
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: you know an awful lot about what a buck could
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: do during certain conditions that you might face when you're
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: hunting in the fall. All of that can be gleaned
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: from a twenty second throwaway encounter during a turkey hunt.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: You might also answer questions you've always asked yourself about. Dear,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: take a private land situation where you have five stands.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: Every season, you know roughly where and when to hunt.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: You say that's good enough. You kind of follow the
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: same strategy from season to season, and some years it works,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: some years it doesn't. But you have questions like why
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: isn't a certain stand any good after mid October? Or
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: why do you always catch a glimpse of deer at
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: last light coming out of the swamp at a certain spot,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: or crossing the river on a deeper crossing when there
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: are several shallow water crossings that would be easier. Time
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: on stand leads to questions, just like trail camera usage,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: leads to questions and sometimes answers. But we are creatures
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: of habit and we don't often go out of our
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: way to address what we think our anomalies in dear behavior,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: because then we'd have to question what we think we know,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: and that's scary country there, So it's easier just to
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: be dismissive about observations that don't fit into our expectations.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: When you turkey hunt far far away from the actual
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: deer season, you might put your back to a tree
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: in the heart of your best deer bedding area, a
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: place you wouldn't dream of setting foot in until November fifth,
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: during the actual deer season. What do you see, dear
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: do then when you're in there? Or maybe you'll work
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: your way along a sparse tree line, hoping to call
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: in a long beard who decided to go roaming for
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: the lunch shift, or who decided to show his stuff
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: in its drunting zone in a high visibility spot. What
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: if while you're sitting there staring at your decoys, you
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: see some dear ghosts their way through forty yards behind you.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: You might never deer hunt the spot because there aren't
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: any stand trees there and the cover is thin, and
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: because you know that, you're not going to really scout it,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: either you don't go in there and look for sheds
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: or look for a concentration of rubs. It might signal
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: you're missing something. Yet in April you see deer doing
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: what you don't think they should do. What's the best
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: reaction here? If you think it's to write that off
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: as inconsequential randomness, I have bad news for you. That's
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: what we like to do with information that doesn't reinforce
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: our biases. But the truth is it's not a random
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: They're there for a reason. And if you think that
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: reason is tied to something important in the spring that
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: won't be important in the fall, you may be right.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: Maybe some food source popped up and it means nothing
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: to a fall hunt. Or maybe you just had your
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: blinders on during deer season and now they've shown you
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: something that you should probably believe instead of doubt. This
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: kind of thing happens to me a lot when I'm
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: turkey hunting, and not all of my encounters lead to
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: filling deer tags in the fall, But have really started
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: to believe what the deer in April and may tell
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: me their moments are truthful if that makes sense. If
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: they cross a field a certain way or travel a
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: soft edge in the big woods in a specific direction,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: there aren't any lies there, and there probably is no
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: randomness to it. It's most likely an answer to a
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: question you haven't even thought to ask. That's the beauty
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: of being in the woods and taking a long look around.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: Whether you're the running gun type who has to chase
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: every gobble and can't sit still for more than ten minutes,
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: or you'd rather open a good book with your bow
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: leaned up against the wall you're blind and ride out
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: a monotonous twelve hours sit in a pre scouted spot.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: The deer during turkey season they just might give you
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: something real to work with, no matter how your turkey hunt.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: So again, while you're out there yelping your happy ass
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: off in the hopes of earning another set of spurs
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: to hang from your rearview mirror or a whole plate
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: full of turkey nuggets, keep your eyes open for the deer,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: and when you do see them, watch them. Get those
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: binos up to your eyes and pay attention to what
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: they do, whether they spook or walk casually through the
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: woods to bed down. And view or twenty of them
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: all leave a cut cornfield single file that head down
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: to the river bottom for the morning. Take note, and
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: really really take note if those deer happen to be bucks,
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: which will be pretty obvious through your optics, and should
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: be traveling in a little bachelor group, because what bucks
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: do during the spring indicates travel and behavior that they
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: feel safe engaging in. They'll do some of that behavior
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: again in the fall if they feel those safety advantages
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: are still there. This is sort of the opposite of
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: deer scouting with a mission kind of thing that I
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: just talked about, but it can be even almost more valuable.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: Kind of like when you're fishing for bass at noon
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: on a sunny day and you happen to catch a
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: twenty seven inch walleye and five feet of water on
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: a swimming jig. Could be a total fluke, but probably isn't.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: There's probably a here today, gone to moral food source
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: there that is drawing in all kinds of big toothy predators,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: and it'll probably happen again tomorrow or next year. It's
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: just like that with deer. Right now, That's all I
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: have for you this week. Good luck with the gobblers.
• 18:25

• 18:27

• 18:30
