• 0:27
  Speaker 2: rut action.
• 0:28

  Speaker 2: Tyler Jones is here as well. We're brought to you
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: by First Lag Year. It is cold this time of year,
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: and it's good time to bundle up and maximize they'll
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: warmth man. I mean, one of the things that we're
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: hearing from people around the country is that there is
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: some cold fronts that have been rolling through and that
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: cold weather is good for deer hunting, as we all know. Tyler,
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: do you actually like hunting cold fronts?
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: I do?
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I love it. You when's when's the time to
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: be there? Do you like to like feel the front
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: roll in or do you like like it personally?
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah? I do, but I don't know that. I don't
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: know that I can like correlate.
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: Uh, I don't know that like off hand, I can
• 1:36
  Speaker 5: correlate any success with that necessarily, But I like to
• 1:39
  Speaker 5: be there when it's rolling in and things get hype.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure.
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: I just noticed.
• 1:44
  Speaker 5: I've always this is something that may or may not
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: make sense to people. But when at the first day
• 1:49
  Speaker 5: that it kind of got cold, if it ever did
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: that in a Texas football season for US, people went
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: nuts on the field, like people were losing their mind.
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: Everybody was ready to chop their feet and do all
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: the stuff and be ready to you know, they were
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: just moving around, and I feel like deer kind of
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: the same way. It's like that first day of the
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: cold front. I know a lot of people love the
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: first South after a couple of norths or whatever, but
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: I like the first I like them north winds too.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: I feel like the cold front gets the young bucks
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: up and moving, and that in turn like just kind
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: of mixes a lot of stuff up.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: At least that's kind of what I observe, you know.
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: I think then those get up and eat man.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's probably true too, especially this time of year,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: because that's what we're really doing. It's not as much
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: depending on where you're at right And that's one of
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: the things we're going to discuss in today's ret Fresh episodes,
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: because you know, a lot of the southern states are
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: really starting to come into their own for the rut
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: right now. But that cold weather definitely makes those deer
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: hit those foods horses earlier in the afternoon, and a
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: lot of times with these cold fronts too, they kind
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: of correspond with overcast days, which is what I'm looking
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: at out the window right now, and that also seems
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: to just be a pretty good thing for deer. They
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: tend to maybe just spend a little more time on
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: their feats whenever you.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: Got to overcast day.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: But the bluebird days are good to you know, quite honestly,
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: any reason is a good reason to kind of get
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: optimistic about going deer hunting. And I can make any
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: day sound like a good deer hunting day. You know, Oh,
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: it's a hundred degrees, they're gonna be drinking water. Better
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: go hunt that water, you know. So there's always something
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: and a good reason to try to go out there
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: and hit it.
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: You can either be optimistic and go hunting, or you
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: can be pessimistic and probably not go.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Hunting, you know, yeah, how do you feel about that?
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: How do you feel about the guys? I shouldn't say
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: it that way. How do you feel about the concept of
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: hunt less and kill more?
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: I think it depends on what you got to hunt.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's kind of property specific.
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: Huh, Yeah, I do. But I definitely like to hunt more,
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: which is why I do this.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: It's good travel around. Yeah, you know, you travel around,
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: you can hunt more.
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: But I'm all about if it don't work on a property,
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: go somewhere else and hunt. I mean, find some public
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: or whatever and go hunt that day if you got
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: the day to hunt, you know, I mean, I just
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: I mean, in all transparency and honesty. When I first
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: you know, from the time I was young, all I
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: ever wanted to do was hunting fish. I mean, that
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: is what I wanted to be doing at all times.
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: So I just tried to find a way to do
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: that every day. And so if I could be in
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: the woods every day, I don't think it would bother
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: me at all.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: If you have Let's give something scenario specific here, and
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: this works really well for this time of year because
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: deer are definitely shifting to more of a bed to
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: food type pattern. There's still some red action going on
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: depending on where you're in the country and just depending
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: on the deer you have, because I guarantee you is
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: somewhere in Saskatchewan right now there's a deer thinking about
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: chasing a doe. But in general things are different in December.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: So let's just have that mine. You have sixty acres,
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: You've got some food that the deer traveling to, but
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: it's a fairly small part.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: Carsel.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Is it worth having a couple different sets for a
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: couple different winds on that thing, or should you just
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: set it up for like the the wind that you
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: know is the best killing wind. I mean, I think
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: if you can make it work, be great. I've got
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: a hunted up. I don't know exactly what it is,
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: but anyway, it's less than thirty acres and I was
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: hunting it like jumping all around. And really I mean
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: I say all around. I wasn't hunting all over the property,
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: but I was hunting all over an area that the deer.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, as a bow hunter, you can't shoot. You
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: could shoot a hundred yards, you're probably not gonna hit it. Still, advise,
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: so you know you want to get closer. So I
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: mean a movement.
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: A move helps you to get in boat range, and
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: I think that's where you know, maybe you learn you
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: learned and you know enough about it, or maybe the
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: pinch is good enough, or maybe you know, whatever it is,
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: you've set it up so that you can have shots
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: and you got one place. But I think, like overall,
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: I think be being willing to have some sets, especially
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: on sixty acres, would be pretty good.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I think so too.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: I think that it's going to depend on what time
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: of year it is, how hard you want to push
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: that just off wind right where you don't want to
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: mess it up early October by hunting something it's a
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: little bit risky, but for a lot of guys just
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: kind of do your die time because Christmas is coming
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: up and you kind of need to get your buck
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: keeled if you're going to do it. So it's a
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: good time of year to take some risks, especially when
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: the deer are thinking really hard with their stomachs. So
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: that's a little bit of a pump you up to
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: get out there and go hunting, because man, deer season
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: is not over. It is absolutely rocking and rolling and
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: in a lot of parts of the country. It's like
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: the best that it can be.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: We're gonna talk to some guys today that are just
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: all up in the rut action right now.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: Right who were talking to today talk.
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: Well, we got a bunch of guys, a lot of
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: them from the South, because that's where a lot of
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: the stuff's going on right now. In fact, many of
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: the guys that we know and follow on social media
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: platforms from the north are having some trouble right now
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: and they're just hunting some cold weather and not see
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: a whole lot of deer. So people we know that
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: are getting after it and doing stuff right now and
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: having some success. We've gotten in touch with what they
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: happen to be from places like Alabama, where Parker McDonald
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: will be giving us a report doing the double up
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: outdoors saying that this has been happening, you know, for
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: some people. But justin Henry was in Georgia this last
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: week and had some success with his daughter there that
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: he hunts all that stuff way out in the southeast
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: and is a good correspondent for us there. Matt died
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: in Missouri, So you're getting your Midwest fix if you're
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: that kind of person.
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: Matt is just kind of one of them dudes. You
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: just you don't.
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: You don't hear it from him all the time, but
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: he's out there doing it, you know what I mean.
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: And then Troy Waldron killed an absolute slammer in Texas
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: this past week, and he's going to give us a
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: report from the home state while we're not even there.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: That's awesome. Let's get the reports on the phone.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: I have got my brother, Parker mc donald was Southern
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: Collective and he normally has the voice of an angel,
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: but today he sounds like a dog that fell out
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: the back of the truck.
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: Parker, what was happening, man.
• 8:12
  Speaker 6: Man, I bized to anybody. Yes, so listen to a voice.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: You sound like you've been you've been hunting, but also
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: like mouth calling turkeys all week where your voice is
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: finally scratchy. Have you been like hollering at them deer
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: or what made your voice do that?
• 8:28
  Speaker 6: That? That is actually not far from the truth. I'm
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: being honest with you. It's been really really cold.
• 8:36
  Speaker 7: It's been super cold, and I've been kind of a
• 8:37
  Speaker 7: little bit, a little bit under the weather.
• 8:39
  Speaker 6: But it's the freaking rut, you know.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I gotta go. Alabama is rocking and rolling right now.
• 8:44
  Speaker 6: Huh it is, man, And.
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: Oh I thought you remember the football team.
• 8:48
  Speaker 8: Sorry no, no, not.
• 8:51
  Speaker 9: Now.
• 8:53
  Speaker 10: No.
• 8:53
  Speaker 7: Luckily for me, I'm I'm not an Alabama fan.
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: So what's the it's going. It's going like the deer
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: just running wild through the woods right now?
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: Or is that not the case?
• 9:05
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it is. It is the case. And it's funny that.
• 9:07
  Speaker 7: You brought it up turkey hunting, like I feel like
• 9:10
  Speaker 7: I've been turky in because that's been a huge part
• 9:11
  Speaker 7: of my week this week, is calling and grunning the deer,
• 9:15
  Speaker 7: and it's been unreal how well it's worked.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: So what's the scenario on that then? Are you calling
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: it deer that you see or are you blind grunting?
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: Usually it's blind grunning, but sometimes it's not.
• 9:25
  Speaker 7: Sometimes I see a deer and I grunt, And there's
• 9:28
  Speaker 7: just such a high percentage if you do it at
• 9:30
  Speaker 7: the right time of the year, there's such a highest
• 9:32
  Speaker 7: percentage that I've seen of deer coming like coming to
• 9:36
  Speaker 7: investigate it. Now, they may try to get down the
• 9:38
  Speaker 7: wind and screw you up or whatever.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, what phase is Alabama in right now? Then?
• 9:45
  Speaker 7: Well, over the last over the last two days, every
• 9:51
  Speaker 7: camera that I've got out, every buck that I have
• 9:55
  Speaker 7: been watching since October has daylighted in the last two days.
• 10:01
  Speaker 7: In this seeking I believe it's the seeking phase, which
• 10:04
  Speaker 7: in that seeking phase, you find a lot of bucks
• 10:06
  Speaker 7: are really aggressive. They've got so much testosterone and it
• 10:10
  Speaker 7: does it just doesn't take much to piss them off.
• 10:14
  Speaker 7: But every camera I've got I've been seeing the last
• 10:19
  Speaker 7: I guess three days now, it's been just just lights out.
• 10:25
  Speaker 7: And then my experiences I've been in the woods those
• 10:26
  Speaker 7: days too, uh, and my experience and this time of
• 10:31
  Speaker 7: the year is always just like this. Once it's flips,
• 10:33
  Speaker 7: once they go into that cruising or seeking phase of
• 10:37
  Speaker 7: the rut. It's like it's it's the times when the
• 10:40
  Speaker 7: woods feel like a zoo. It's like, just go be
• 10:42
  Speaker 7: in the woods and if you're if you halfway know
• 10:45
  Speaker 7: what you're doing, there's a good chance you can kill
• 10:47
  Speaker 7: a deer or see one.
• 10:51
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 10:51
  Speaker 7: Well, I'll be honest with you, it's good news for
• 10:53
  Speaker 7: everybody in a state like Alabama or like East Texas
• 10:56
  Speaker 7: where you guys are at. We all know there's just
• 10:59
  Speaker 7: some there's just the those days where it just feels
• 11:02
  Speaker 7: like it's magic in the air, and you don't feel
• 11:05
  Speaker 7: like you did anything different than you do before. But
• 11:08
  Speaker 7: it's just like, wow, I saw eight bucks today or whatever.
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: So so with that, you know, going forward to the
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: next week, are you going to use a grunt call
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: or rattling antlers more often?
• 11:19
  Speaker 7: I think I think here at home, I think I
• 11:22
  Speaker 7: would say grunt like the.
• 11:25
  Speaker 6: Way that I typically do. I'll tell you guys what happened.
• 11:27
  Speaker 6: I mean, two days ago.
• 11:29
  Speaker 7: I was I was set up on a deer that
• 11:31
  Speaker 7: I had come out in the daylight the morning before,
• 11:35
  Speaker 7: and it was I mean, I was as deep as I've.
• 11:37
  Speaker 6: Ever been on public land.
• 11:39
  Speaker 7: Like to give you guys an example, I got I
• 11:42
  Speaker 7: got to the boat ramp at three o'clock and I
• 11:45
  Speaker 7: didn't get set up until like after six thirty.
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: Oh wow, okay, yeah yeah, yeah yeah dude.
• 11:54
  Speaker 7: And it was just like it was just it's those
• 11:58
  Speaker 7: kind of days that those are the one am days,
• 12:00
  Speaker 7: you know, And I knew I needed to be where
• 12:02
  Speaker 7: I needed to be at like and and so I
• 12:05
  Speaker 7: got up there and uh, right after daylight, a buck
• 12:10
  Speaker 7: chases a dough in the holler back behind me, real deep,
• 12:13
  Speaker 7: thick collar, and I could hear him grunting a lot.
• 12:16
  Speaker 6: Like when I say a lot.
• 12:19
  Speaker 7: I mean have you ever have you guys ever heard
• 12:21
  Speaker 7: those woodpeckers or whatever they are that almost sound like
• 12:23
  Speaker 7: a grunt, and they can fool you every once in
• 12:25
  Speaker 7: a while.
• 12:27
  Speaker 6: It was like that sound. But he was.
• 12:29
  Speaker 7: Changing the tone of his voice, and I could hear
• 12:31
  Speaker 7: them running around, and I'd already seen them one time.
• 12:33
  Speaker 7: I'd got glimpses up, so I knew it was deer,
• 12:36
  Speaker 7: and I knew it was a grunt. And he was
• 12:38
  Speaker 7: probably grunting thirty times a minute, you know, like it
• 12:41
  Speaker 7: was just back and forth. So later in the morning,
• 12:44
  Speaker 7: they had worked their way all the way, like directly
• 12:47
  Speaker 7: behind me, and they weren't very far, and I was like,
• 12:50
  Speaker 7: you know what, I'm about to turkey hunt this pool,
• 12:53
  Speaker 7: and so I.
• 12:54
  Speaker 6: Grabbed my I grabbed my grunt too, and I just
• 12:57
  Speaker 6: started grunting.
• 12:58
  Speaker 7: I'd grunt, then he'd grunt, then I'd grunt, then than
• 13:00
  Speaker 7: I'd grunt. Then I changed my tone a little bit,
• 13:03
  Speaker 7: you know, and he did the same thing.
• 13:05
  Speaker 6: And I could hear them.
• 13:06
  Speaker 7: I could hear their footsteps back behind me, chasing and stuff,
• 13:10
  Speaker 7: and it was like it was so thinking cool.
• 13:13
  Speaker 6: Well, as I'm.
• 13:15
  Speaker 7: Turning around trying to figure out how can get a shot,
• 13:18
  Speaker 7: I start hearing the footsteps get closer and closer and
• 13:20
  Speaker 7: closer and closer.
• 13:22
  Speaker 6: And I realized, that's not that book. There's another year
• 13:25
  Speaker 6: behind me.
• 13:25
  Speaker 7: So I turned back around in my saddle and I
• 13:28
  Speaker 7: see this nice buck walking straight towards me. And that
• 13:33
  Speaker 7: was all from He was absolutely one hundred percent coming
• 13:36
  Speaker 7: to He probably heard fifty plus grunts in the last
• 13:41
  Speaker 7: five minutes right there, and he was coming to it.
• 13:44
  Speaker 7: And that's what I mean by like it almost feels.
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: It felt like a turkey hunt. That really felt like
• 13:49
  Speaker 6: a turkey hunt. It was freaking awesome.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: It sounds sick, man.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: So looking forward to this week, you have kind of
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: more of the same, good rout dates, good temperatures. Are
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: you you still thinking it's gonna be on fire for
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: the next seven days?
• 14:04
  Speaker 6: I think it'll be. I think it'll be really good
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: for about the next three days.
• 14:09
  Speaker 7: This rain that we got today, I think it's gonna
• 14:12
  Speaker 7: kill the action for the day.
• 14:13
  Speaker 6: I really do, because it's hot and rainy.
• 14:16
  Speaker 7: But it's supposed to get back down into like the
• 14:19
  Speaker 7: twenties in the later part of the week, I believe
• 14:22
  Speaker 7: if that's still in the forecast, and I think in
• 14:25
  Speaker 7: that time, but I also think there's gonna be a
• 14:27
  Speaker 7: little bit of a shift and it's gonna be a
• 14:29
  Speaker 7: lot more like that, just a hardcore chasing and without
• 14:33
  Speaker 7: much rhyme or reason on where they're at. So sitting
• 14:36
  Speaker 7: a funnel is gonna be, Man, I think if sitting
• 14:39
  Speaker 7: a funnel in the next week is probably gonna be
• 14:42
  Speaker 7: lights out, way to kill a hill country.
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: Dear, if you're sitting in a funnel in the next week,
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: and on scale of one to ten, what's the buck
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: movement gonna be?
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: Like?
• 14:50
  Speaker 7: If I'm going by what it's been with the what
• 14:53
  Speaker 7: the buck movement's been the last two days, I would
• 14:55
  Speaker 7: say in the last two days it's.
• 14:56
  Speaker 6: Been a ten.
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: Let's go oh wow, yeah, I have.
• 15:03
  Speaker 7: I genuinely felt like in the last two days, if
• 15:05
  Speaker 7: you just set up in the woods, you're probably gonna
• 15:06
  Speaker 7: see a buck.
• 15:07
  Speaker 12: And I'm beat now, Alabama, Parker, I mean, get here
• 15:12
  Speaker 12: quick because it's not gonna last long. Well, thanks, man,
• 15:17
  Speaker 12: I appreciate the report.
• 15:19
  Speaker 7: The good thing about Alabama is, man, we got ruts
• 15:22
  Speaker 7: until the end of freaking February.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Sure, you chased this.
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: Around somewhere to go every every time of the late
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: season now in Alabama. I appreciate the report, Parker, and
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: hopefully we'll catch up with you again soon.
• 15:34
  Speaker 6: Hey, guys, I appreciate you having me on.
• 15:35
  Speaker 7: I apologize anybody listening to this voice, this annoying voice
• 15:38
  Speaker 7: that I got right.
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: Now on the phone.
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: A very familiar guy, justin Henry, and he's been in Georgia.
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: Seems like there's been some success. Maybe there's a deer down.
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: How's everything going, dude.
• 15:50
  Speaker 10: It's going good, man, coming off a pretty good weekend.
• 15:53
  Speaker 10: It was a first so it was a good one.
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 15:57
  Speaker 13: So, first of what, first you were my seven year
• 16:01
  Speaker 13: old daughter being out in the woods with me. I
• 16:06
  Speaker 13: got three daughters and my oldest has been hunting and
• 16:09
  Speaker 13: we've had success, but my seven year old has never
• 16:12
  Speaker 13: been out.
• 16:13
  Speaker 10: And she sat in the blind for the first time, and.
• 16:18
  Speaker 13: Not too long after we had a nice mature dough
• 16:20
  Speaker 13: come out and she looked at me and I looked
• 16:23
  Speaker 13: at her.
• 16:23
  Speaker 10: I said, you want me to shoot? The smile on
• 16:26
  Speaker 10: her face was the greatest thing in the world.
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: Bad man.
• 16:29
  Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, so yeah, we were successful.
• 16:32
  Speaker 10: We got ourselves a nice dough.
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: That's cool.
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: So what are the deer doing in Georgia right now
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: where you're hunting?
• 16:39
  Speaker 13: Well, that weekend was extremely cold, bitterly cold. I feel
• 16:44
  Speaker 13: like was like twenty eight twenty seven. That's South Georgia.
• 16:49
  Speaker 13: I think I said it last week, you know, I
• 16:51
  Speaker 13: think in the South that cold cold weather than first
• 16:53
  Speaker 13: day or two, it kind of freaks them out.
• 16:56
  Speaker 10: This movement in the evening.
• 16:58
  Speaker 13: Was real early is at four o' hawk, so quite
• 17:04
  Speaker 13: quite a few hours before evening time.
• 17:07
  Speaker 10: A couple of dough came out for food.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: So we're still kind of pre rut there in South Georgia, right.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: Are we looking at or where are we at?
• 17:15
  Speaker 14: Cauch?
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: We're post post run, okay, so.
• 17:18
  Speaker 13: See, and that's that weird part of like the eastern
• 17:21
  Speaker 13: southern part of Georgia.
• 17:24
  Speaker 10: And same thing with Florida.
• 17:25
  Speaker 13: Now, once you get over into that panhandle of Florida
• 17:28
  Speaker 13: and get up underneath you know, Louisiana and Alabama, that's
• 17:31
  Speaker 13: where you get the later December pre run.
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: Gotcha. So what are the bucks doing there right now?
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: Uh?
• 17:38
  Speaker 13: And in my area just doing their normal normal bed
• 17:42
  Speaker 13: of food kind of I've seen them bachelor back up.
• 17:46
  Speaker 10: So back to the bed to food type deal.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: Gotcha? So, uh you got are you running cameras? And
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: what are that? What's that stuff on?
• 17:55
  Speaker 6: Uh?
• 17:55
  Speaker 13: Yeah, right now, I got it's on a lease that
• 17:58
  Speaker 13: I was honeying up in Georgia. So I got a
• 18:00
  Speaker 13: couple of cameras on feeders, and I got a couple
• 18:02
  Speaker 13: of cameras on natural natural movement. The kind of natural
• 18:05
  Speaker 13: movement cameras have been a little on the slow side, and.
• 18:10
  Speaker 10: Really the cameras even on the feeders have.
• 18:11
  Speaker 13: Been a little on the slow side. A lot of nighttime.
• 18:15
  Speaker 13: I did have I had one buck come through on
• 18:18
  Speaker 13: that and from moving in.
• 18:19
  Speaker 10: Daytime, but that was a couple of days, two days
• 18:23
  Speaker 10: prior to that cold front.
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: Moving in, Okay. Got you. So if you're.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: If you're seeing all that nocturnal stuff, are you then
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: trying to hold off and just not pressure them or
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: are you trying to seek out where those bucks are
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: spending their days?
• 18:39
  Speaker 13: No, I am, I'm trying to hold off and I'm
• 18:41
  Speaker 13: trying to just plant it right.
• 18:44
  Speaker 10: Get some daytime movement, try to slide up in there,
• 18:47
  Speaker 10: especially this time of the year with.
• 18:49
  Speaker 6: It being so are not late, but just much later
• 18:52
  Speaker 6: in the season.
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, got you.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: So you still you're thinking that another cold front will
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: push through and kind of give you some daylight.
• 19:00
  Speaker 10: I do.
• 19:01
  Speaker 13: I think that now that we've got a couple of
• 19:05
  Speaker 13: cold fronts back to back, it seems to be staying
• 19:07
  Speaker 13: in these cooler temperatures. I think now is when you, Mike,
• 19:12
  Speaker 13: might catch them in that almost like that early season pattern,
• 19:15
  Speaker 13: you know, catch them a little bit heading back to
• 19:17
  Speaker 13: bed earlier, or maybe getting a bite to eat mid
• 19:20
  Speaker 13: mid morning.
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: Gotcha.
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: So do you expect the next week to be better
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: than the last one or about the same or what
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: are you thinking?
• 19:29
  Speaker 13: I would have to say, I want to go with
• 19:31
  Speaker 13: a little bit of optimism.
• 19:33
  Speaker 10: I think it might be a submit you better gotcha?
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: Gotcha.
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: So in the next week on a scale of one
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: to ten, what would you rank buck movement?
• 19:43
  Speaker 13: I'm going to give it a solid five, all right,
• 19:46
  Speaker 13: right in the middle, right in the middle.
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: So it's worth going out. I'm trying to shoot a
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: buck there in South Georgia this time of year. If
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: you haven't got it done yet, there's there. I appreciate you, man,
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: thank you for doing this.
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: Just and we'll talk to you.
• 20:01
  Speaker 5: I'm sure, you know, like next week or something like that.
• 20:04
  Speaker 10: Good soil.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: I've got my brother Matt die with landing a legacy
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: on the phone while hunting no less.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: He is like in the field right now. What are
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: you doing? Man?
• 20:45
  Speaker 9: This is about as live as you can get.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, from the field in Missouri, hun just giving us
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: the direct report live.
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: What are you seeing?
• 20:53
  Speaker 9: Yes?
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: Oh man?
• 20:55
  Speaker 9: What's cool about this little audience?
• 20:58
  Speaker 14: For me, it's doing a little bit of marking to timber,
• 21:00
  Speaker 14: but also it's antlerless season. Formaseras are trying to do
• 21:03
  Speaker 14: a little bit of management and work at the same time.
• 21:05
  Speaker 14: But honestly, from overall deer standpoint, this is can be
• 21:08
  Speaker 14: one of my favorite times of the year. This post
• 21:11
  Speaker 14: rut shift back into food and deer get on really
• 21:16
  Speaker 14: good patterns.
• 21:17
  Speaker 9: So hopefully.
• 21:19
  Speaker 14: Hopefully the deer, the target deer right have made it
• 21:22
  Speaker 14: through the gun season. For us, we were very fortunate
• 21:25
  Speaker 14: this year, whether it's just weather outings not that many
• 21:30
  Speaker 14: deer got harvested in our area. I don't know if
• 21:33
  Speaker 14: we lost a target deer two like during rifle seasons.
• 21:37
  Speaker 14: So we are now just readjusting cameras, getting them set
• 21:41
  Speaker 14: up over that shift of you know, betting closer to
• 21:45
  Speaker 14: south facing slopes, but also that transition back into food.
• 21:51
  Speaker 14: Bucks are definitely still checking scrapes. That's definitely active still
• 21:55
  Speaker 14: on our cameras, but from a standpoint of like, I'm
• 21:59
  Speaker 14: just prepared for that, if you will, bed food late
• 22:04
  Speaker 14: season type pattern, and they're starting to really get consistent
• 22:08
  Speaker 14: on cameras and I like to see.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: Them so in those scrapes. Are those bucks actually daylighting
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: on those.
• 22:13
  Speaker 9: Scrapes, Yeah, for sure.
• 22:16
  Speaker 14: And it's been I think that we're seeing the shift
• 22:19
  Speaker 14: of food quite a bit quicker than we when we
• 22:21
  Speaker 14: do post rut post gun season this year more than
• 22:26
  Speaker 14: others because we've had so many like just quick cold spells.
• 22:29
  Speaker 14: This coming week, we've got temperatures in the low thirties
• 22:32
  Speaker 14: as highs and some just cool, cool nights, and so
• 22:35
  Speaker 14: there's there's some evenings where dear in the field at
• 22:39
  Speaker 14: two two thirty and then bucks are pidding and checking scrapes.
• 22:43
  Speaker 14: They're still doing their social check in faons are going
• 22:46
  Speaker 14: to be coming in the heat really anytime now, so
• 22:49
  Speaker 14: they're still actively checking the scrapes. But where deer are
• 22:53
  Speaker 14: congregating on food sources and bucks are there and they're
• 22:57
  Speaker 14: seeming to not have any problem with the right weather conditions.
• 23:01
  Speaker 14: Of course, being there in daylight.
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: Is when you talk about food sources, you're talking about
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: assuming food plots or ag that may be left. And
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: is there a type of wild food right now available
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: in there in Missouri that you feel like or is
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: it going to be pretty much what's been planted?
• 23:20
  Speaker 14: Great question for me right now, because I have the
• 23:22
  Speaker 14: ability to manage some places my own or leases is
• 23:27
  Speaker 14: food plots. But if you don't have that ability, you're
• 23:29
  Speaker 14: hunting public or you don't have the ability to manage
• 23:31
  Speaker 14: and have that. Don't forget about clover and pastures that
• 23:36
  Speaker 14: can green up with some warmer days. I mean, it's
• 23:39
  Speaker 14: almost gonna be sixty here today, but then we get
• 23:41
  Speaker 14: that cold snap, so like clover can come in and
• 23:43
  Speaker 14: out even in December.
• 23:46
  Speaker 9: But also the biggest, the main one is going to
• 23:49
  Speaker 9: be red oaks.
• 23:50
  Speaker 14: Red Oaks late season December are going to still be
• 23:53
  Speaker 14: on the ground, still very viable and dear if they
• 23:57
  Speaker 14: don't have those other more preferred resources, they're going to
• 24:00
  Speaker 14: be hitting those pretty much primarily.
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we see the same thing here in Texas this
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: time of year, December and January, we see red oaks
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: being a big time drawl for hogs and deer both.
• 24:12
  Speaker 14: Absolutely, There's been many years ago now don't generally hunt
• 24:17
  Speaker 14: mornings at this time of the year. But there was
• 24:19
  Speaker 14: a deer on a good pattern. Oh gosh, it's probably
• 24:23
  Speaker 14: ten years ago now, but it is morning of December eighteenth.
• 24:26
  Speaker 14: I remember it, but headed back feeding back off of
• 24:30
  Speaker 14: a food plot early morning, but on a ridge with
• 24:33
  Speaker 14: a ton of black oaks, which is a red oak family,
• 24:36
  Speaker 14: and he was there just about every single morning. We
• 24:38
  Speaker 14: slipped in and killing that deer. But it's a late
• 24:42
  Speaker 14: season red oak play and we're we're in that window
• 24:46
  Speaker 14: right now. That's still those three plots, that's where id be.
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: So when you do get those real frigid temperatures, though,
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: do you feel like green is the way to go?
• 24:55
  Speaker 9: I do, unless you have grain.
• 24:58
  Speaker 14: If you have grain, it's just for for me in
• 25:00
  Speaker 14: southern Missouri, it's few and far between.
• 25:03
  Speaker 9: Do you even have grain as an option?
• 25:05
  Speaker 14: But getting you know, wheat fields cr rye, tricker koe
• 25:09
  Speaker 14: or your leftover turn up field from your fall food plot,
• 25:13
  Speaker 14: like those are definitely keen right now in this December
• 25:17
  Speaker 14: time frame from a planted resource.
• 25:20
  Speaker 9: I love green during this window.
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, cool dude.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: All right, So as we look forward to the next
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: week with those really cold temperatures and you know, just
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: kind of that post ud stuff that you're talking about,
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: are you going to really emphasize hunting in that week?
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: Is that going to Does it mean were looking at
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: good stuff here?
• 25:39
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 25:39
  Speaker 14: Well that's what I see according to my weather down here.
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: But really I.
• 25:45
  Speaker 14: Get excited from now. We've run till January fifteenth for Missouri.
• 25:49
  Speaker 14: So I don't try and just come out of the
• 25:50
  Speaker 14: gates screaming. I want to pick the right days, the
• 25:53
  Speaker 14: best days. It doesn't have to be the coldest day either.
• 25:55
  Speaker 14: It could be a day that is average or even
• 25:58
  Speaker 14: slightly above average. If you're having cold nights, but it
• 26:01
  Speaker 14: gets up warm and it's clear, bluebird sky days. I
• 26:05
  Speaker 14: love the clear, bluebird sky days. Deer seem to feed
• 26:08
  Speaker 14: early in those fields and soak up as much warmth
• 26:11
  Speaker 14: as they can. So again, if you get if you're
• 26:14
  Speaker 14: really cold and you start coming on the back end
• 26:16
  Speaker 14: of cold mat we've got a wind shift to that
• 26:19
  Speaker 14: is super preferred.
• 26:21
  Speaker 9: But yeah, if.
• 26:22
  Speaker 14: Time allows this week, I probably will slide out and
• 26:25
  Speaker 14: put eyes on the field.
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: That's cool, all right.
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: So on a scale of one to ten in Missouri
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: over the next week, what are you gonna rank Buck
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: movement at.
• 26:32
  Speaker 9: Buck Movement Evenings. I'm gonna go with the six seven.
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: Pretty good, man, That is really good, especially pop post Rode.
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: I like it.
• 26:40
  Speaker 14: If you've got yeah, unpressured stuff deer, there's no reason
• 26:44
  Speaker 14: for deer to not move and feed in daylight this week.
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: Awesome, dude, appreciate the report. Man, Hey, you bet guys.
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: I've got Troy Waldron on the phone.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: He's a dedicated Texas hunter and quite honestly, he has
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: just killed one of the biggest bucks I've ever seen
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: come from Texas.
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: Troy, what's happening, dude?
• 27:03
  Speaker 11: Oh, not much, man, just trying to catch up on
• 27:06
  Speaker 11: some work after being out hunted for a little while.
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: I understand that for sure, man, So congrats on the
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: big buck.
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: I want to know what the deer are doing and
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: what you figured out to be able to kill a
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: deer like that.
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: What the deer doing in Texas right now?
• 27:18
  Speaker 8: Yeah? Sure, so I think they're still looking for dose.
• 27:23
  Speaker 11: So you know, you got a lot of the breeding
• 27:26
  Speaker 11: is over, but you still have some of those that
• 27:28
  Speaker 11: haven't been bred. The fawns from the spring are going
• 27:30
  Speaker 11: to be coming in soon, and I think those bucks
• 27:33
  Speaker 11: are still definitely searching.
• 27:37
  Speaker 8: I mean they this weekend and just this beer came
• 27:39
  Speaker 8: into rattling.
• 27:40
  Speaker 11: I was doing a lot of rattling and grunning sequences,
• 27:44
  Speaker 11: So I think they're still chasing some of those.
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: Gotcha. That's that's kind of interesting.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: You know, it almost seems like everybody gets depressed because
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: November is over, but in Texas it seems like, especially
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: a large portion of state, there's kind of like a
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: trickle rut. Do you see that action to last throughout
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: December one hundred percent?
• 28:01
  Speaker 11: So I actually struggle more in November in certain respects Now,
• 28:06
  Speaker 11: I missed the big one early November this year, just
• 28:08
  Speaker 11: clean miss and I actually hit two other bucks and
• 28:10
  Speaker 11: didn't find them. So that's a whole nother story. Maybe
• 28:13
  Speaker 11: my shooting was off, but so I had encounters in November.
• 28:17
  Speaker 11: Don't get me wrong, but I in the last three
• 28:19
  Speaker 11: or four years as.
• 28:19
  Speaker 8: Far as bucks on the wall, I'm having a lot
• 28:22
  Speaker 8: of success in December, and it's red activity.
• 28:24
  Speaker 11: I mean, it would be different than what you would
• 28:27
  Speaker 11: in your mind think you're supposed to be seeing in November?
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: What have you?
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: So, is there any strategy to like your rattling sequence?
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: You know, are you are you trying to just break
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: the antlers or is there something like any rhyme or
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: reason to the way you you do take them together?
• 28:42
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 28:42
  Speaker 8: So usually I don't rattle. I'm more of a grunt
• 28:44
  Speaker 8: suit guy.
• 28:45
  Speaker 11: Even when I do that, I try to mimic what
• 28:47
  Speaker 11: I hear them do in the woods, which is like,
• 28:50
  Speaker 11: you know, yeah, why not too aggressive, nothing real long
• 28:54
  Speaker 11: and exaggerated. But on this trip, because I don't hunt
• 28:57
  Speaker 11: this area, you know, very often, I wasn't sure if
• 29:00
  Speaker 11: they would or they wouldn't respond to rattling, So I
• 29:02
  Speaker 11: brought the ones out.
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: There and just light you know.
• 29:06
  Speaker 11: Again, I watched a thousand videos of hunting, right, so
• 29:09
  Speaker 11: I'm just trying to mimic what I see if a deer,
• 29:11
  Speaker 11: you know, is on video, you know, fighting and so
• 29:14
  Speaker 11: nothing too crazy loud, but nothing too long. But I
• 29:18
  Speaker 11: also try to break it up a little bit because
• 29:20
  Speaker 11: they're not just like constantly for a minute straight, you know,
• 29:23
  Speaker 11: tickle and tickle and tickling, like there's breaks and stuff
• 29:25
  Speaker 11: in there. So I just tried to kind of mimic
• 29:27
  Speaker 11: that a little bit.
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: And all of those thousand videos, would you say, probably
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: five hundred of them or element videos or I mean absolutely.
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: Doubt so.
• 29:38
  Speaker 5: Were you in like a in like what you consider
• 29:41
  Speaker 5: a rut funnel hunting this deer or what were you
• 29:43
  Speaker 5: doing exactly?
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 29:45
  Speaker 11: So probably but mostly edge right, So this area before
• 29:50
  Speaker 11: the haunt, I actually got boosted on the ground twice,
• 29:52
  Speaker 11: but obviously did a kind of scouting on.
• 29:54
  Speaker 8: Google before I got in there.
• 29:56
  Speaker 11: First thing keen on was the creek creek systems. Any
• 30:00
  Speaker 11: time there's a creek runningto timber, that's going to be
• 30:02
  Speaker 11: a go to. It's going to be creating funnels naturally.
• 30:05
  Speaker 11: On top of that, there was a field that I
• 30:07
  Speaker 11: didn't know what was in there, but the field jetted
• 30:09
  Speaker 11: into the timber, and then there was different habitat lines
• 30:12
  Speaker 11: within the timber and at all if you were to
• 30:14
  Speaker 11: take a pencil and follow those lines, there was a
• 30:17
  Speaker 11: spot where a lot of those lines crossed or were
• 30:19
  Speaker 11: pretty close to And when I went into Scott, I said,
• 30:23
  Speaker 11: I guarantee that those spots going to have a bunch
• 30:25
  Speaker 11: of scrapes of it, which was just on the edge
• 30:27
  Speaker 11: of that field and I also wanted to see what
• 30:29
  Speaker 11: was in the field. There is there hay in there
• 30:31
  Speaker 11: is then your ride coming up?
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: Or is it brush?
• 30:33
  Speaker 8: Is it you know, switch grass? What is it? And
• 30:35
  Speaker 8: it ended up just being a bunch of like just
• 30:37
  Speaker 8: a big.
• 30:38
  Speaker 11: Ticket like saplings, really really thick.
• 30:41
  Speaker 8: So I said, well, either going to you can.
• 30:43
  Speaker 11: Use it as betting, or it's just going to at
• 30:46
  Speaker 11: least create travel. So all in all, though you came
• 30:50
  Speaker 11: to your question, it was it was a funnel area,
• 30:52
  Speaker 11: but just.
• 30:52
  Speaker 8: Those lines all met in this one spot, and I knew.
• 30:56
  Speaker 11: If I got in there and there was a spot
• 30:57
  Speaker 11: to set up, my entry and exit was going to
• 31:00
  Speaker 11: be really good too, based on the wind. So it
• 31:01
  Speaker 11: was an east wind Friday and then pretty much the
• 31:04
  Speaker 11: south the rest of the weekend, and I was coming
• 31:06
  Speaker 11: in from the northwest.
• 31:09
  Speaker 8: Gotcha, So I've given up that side, but everything else
• 31:11
  Speaker 8: was good.
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: Uh huh.
• 31:12
  Speaker 5: So do you think that in the next week or
• 31:15
  Speaker 5: so you would you would stay with that same general
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: idea of you know, hunting scrapes where a lot of
• 31:22
  Speaker 5: different lines are intersecting, transition lines are intersecting, and also
• 31:26
  Speaker 5: with the idea that you're going to be seeing running
• 31:28
  Speaker 5: movement in the next week.
• 31:30
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean the scrapes were there, and that was good.
• 31:33
  Speaker 11: I wasn't expecting to shoot something coming through the scrape,
• 31:36
  Speaker 11: but having those scrapes there usually tells me it's a.
• 31:38
  Speaker 8: Deer movement area, like there's going to be deer here.
• 31:41
  Speaker 8: And really, I guess my mindset was more like, even if.
• 31:44
  Speaker 11: This is the means there's a bunch of doze in here,
• 31:46
  Speaker 11: that's where I want to be because there's those here,
• 31:49
  Speaker 11: Those bucks are going to be here. So if I
• 31:51
  Speaker 11: were going to keep hunting this week, I wouldn't so
• 31:53
  Speaker 11: much key on scrapes per se and the fact that
• 31:55
  Speaker 11: you're going to shoot one of the scrape, but I'd
• 31:58
  Speaker 11: be near the dos.
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: Can't hardly beat that. Man, It's hell. That is definitely
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: an understatement.
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: You gotta be with it. Where the doose are, you're
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: gonna find the buck.
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: So on a scale of one to ten, if you're
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: gonna rank buck movement in Texas for the next week,
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: what would you call it?
• 32:14
  Speaker 6: Seven?
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: Seven? That's pretty good hunting, not.
• 32:18
  Speaker 11: Too unoptimistic, not too over optimistic, just right there.
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: I like it. Brother, appreciate the report, dude, have a
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: good rest of your season.
• 32:25
  Speaker 8: Yeah, you guys, see, I appreciate it as you hear.
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: There are still some good places to get in the
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: woods of the prairies or wherever you might be, even
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: the swamps half deering them out there, right, and so
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: it can be particular, but December is still a great
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: time to kill a really big buck, maybe even one
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: that's in the rut, if you're in the right place. Uh,
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: And if you need a little inspiration or a little
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: bit of thought about how maybe you should do that, Actually,
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: Mark Kenyon Mark himself had a guy named Dylan Lenz
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: on the podcast the other day from Big Wood Scouting.
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: A lot of the country is covered in what you
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: might call big woods, and I know that a lot
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: of those places that have later ruts tend to be
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: what you might call the big woods. So it's a
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: pretty good podcast to go check out if you are
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: in that boat.
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 33:15
  Speaker 5: So there's also another really cool video that we put
• 33:18
  Speaker 5: out this week.
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: We have been on the road like crazy. We are running.
• 33:24
  Speaker 5: Everybody is either filming or editing a little bit or hunting,
• 33:29
  Speaker 5: and so it's been crazy. We haven't been able to
• 33:30
  Speaker 5: get a ton of editing done actually, but we did
• 33:33
  Speaker 5: get a video out because I thought there would be
• 33:35
  Speaker 5: some people that would be interested in seeing this big
• 33:38
  Speaker 5: old giant mondo buck that I ran into when I
• 33:42
  Speaker 5: was stalking a different big old giant mondo buck that
• 33:45
  Speaker 5: might actually be the one you killed.
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: Oh man.
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: I think it just where we might be, which is crazy.
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: We were juking and jiving out there on the planes
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: after these deers. So we're gonna link to both of
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: those and the description below if you need a little inspirational,
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: little motivation, a little.
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: Bit of just uh, you know.
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm trying to think about more rhymes than I
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: can't even do right now because I'm so excited to go.
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: Dearhune after listen to all these good reports, this has
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: been rough. Fresh, Keep it fresh,
