  Speaker 1: Welcome to the Wired2Hunt Foundations podcast, your guide to the
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: fundamentals of better deer hunting. Presented by First Light, creating proven,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: versatile hunting apparel for the stand, saddle, or blind. First Light,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: go farther, stay longer. And now, your host, Tony Peterson.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: Hey everyone, welcome to the Wired to Hunt Foundations podcast,
• 0:22
  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 why this
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: could be the most important part of the season to
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: e-scout and just how to go about that process so
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: you can find your buck. You guys know kind of
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: how I feel about following most of the deer hunting
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: advice out there. And really, this episode is just kind
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: of about that contrarian view or, you know, takes that
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: contrarian mindset and really kind of runs with it. A
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: lot of folks will tell you this is the easiest
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: time to screw up your deer plan. And if you
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: want to kill a big buck, you better tread lightly
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: for the next week or two at least. But I disagree.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: And I think mid-October is actually a really good time
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: to hunt. But it's also a time where a successful
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: hunt probably won't happen where you want it to. That's okay.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: There's a way around it. And that way starts with e-scouting,
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: which might seem a little bit weird, but it's not.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Allow me to explain why right now. Not too long ago,
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: the news was dominated by drones in New Jersey, whisperings
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: of government disclosure on non-human intelligence, and, well, a whole
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: bunch of stuff around aliens and UAPs that was, depending
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: on how you feel about the topic, interesting, terrifying, exhilarating,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: or just a load of horseshit. I guess we got
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: tired of the drone thing because now it's A.I. Will
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: artificial intelligence kill us or allow us to live in
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: perfect harmony with a pile of resources at our disposal?
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Will we be wiped out by autonomous weapons controlled by
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: superintelligence that is emotionless or see cancer cured? Maybe both.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Maybe neither. But if you see any news stories anywhere,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: there's a high likelihood that the topic of our impending
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: doom when it comes to artificial superintelligence is going to
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: pop up somewhere. But what is intelligence really? For the
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: most part, it's pattern recognition, which allows for accurate predictions.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: When you hear someone say AI is just large language models,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: what they're saying is that those programs were fed enormous
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: amounts of human-generated data. Research papers, Reddit forums, blog posts,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: YouTube comments, Shakespeare's complete works, and pretty much anything we've
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: generated that consists of words, which is a lot of stuff.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: The intention was to develop something that could predict what
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: would come next in a sentence. but it has gone
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: way beyond that at this point. But think about that
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: for a second before you come to too many conclusions
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: and put it into the deer world. Who are the
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: best deer hunters? The ones who have no idea what
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: a deer will do or the ones who can predict
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: with a high level of accuracy what deer should do?
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: I've had the good fortune of hanging with some amazing
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: dog trainers in my life, and I can tell you
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: they are good for a lot of reasons. not the
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: least of which is that they can damn near see
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: into the future when it comes to dog behavior. And
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: even though dogs are individuals, they've digested so much dog
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: behavior that they are very accurate in their assessment of
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: what will happen next in a training situation, or any
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: situation with dogs, really. When you can predict what will happen,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: you can get ahead of a problem. You can shape
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: its direction in a way that results in a positive outcome.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: In the deer world, the same rules apply, and there
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: are so many ways to develop this skill. You can
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: consume massive amounts of content around your style of hunting
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: and learn a thing or two. For real, I mean that.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: You can also spend years in the woods scouting and
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: hunting and watching deer, and that will certainly help you
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: predict deer movement. That's a good way to go about it,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: even if that is a very long game approach. To
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: make the most of that, you can also employ some
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: valuable tools. I think mobile setups and the willingness to
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: use them rank right up there with the most valuable
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: tools a whitetail hunter can have. Trail cameras, you know,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: they're a no-brainer here too. Good binos on stand and
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: the willing to use them often, they are as well.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: So are scouting apps like OnX, which offer so much
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: in the way of learning the land and cross-checking that
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: with actual deer sign and actual deer sightings. That's what
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: I really want to dive into here because I've been
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: scouting so much lately and I've been hunting some and
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: just using satellite imagery to sort of figure things out.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: I was reminded of how important this is a couple
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: of weeks ago when I was thinking about taking the
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: girls to Wisconsin on a spiker mission when I just
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: started to look at a chunk of public that I
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: really like to hunt. It doesn't really look any different
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: from thousands of acres around it, but it does have
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: a tiny trout stream that you really can't even see
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: on satellite imagery. It also borders some private land. including
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: two parcels that have fields on them. One I know
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: is corn this year, and the other is horse hay.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: But in an area with almost no ag, walking half
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: a mile or a mile to a hay field is
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: something that a lot of deer will do. I think
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: this is true for obvious reasons. You know, like they
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: can gobble up some greenery in a world of browsing.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: And some mast. But also being able to feed at
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: night in the open, where wolves and bears and coyotes
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: and bobcats live, it's also just a wise choice if
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: you're a prey animal. I like that property, and I
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: really like one particular spot on that property that has
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: a very subtle saddle between two swampy areas. That saddle
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: sits below a big hill on one side and a
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: subtle hill on the other side. It has a couple
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: of huge oaks on it, which is a nice bonus,
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: but mostly it's just a season-long pinch point that is
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: tucked into the timber between where they might go to
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: feed and where they might go to bed. Now, as
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: I zoomed in on that spot, I toggled through the
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: 3D map option and and then used the elevation slider
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: to exaggerate the up and down nature of the land
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: around it. It kind of became plain as day why
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: they're crossing there, and why I've killed my biggest public
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: land buck in Wisconsin exactly on that spot. But I
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: also thought, I wonder if I can find another spot
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: like that in the same area. So if the wind
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: sucks for my main spot, I have a backup location.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: So I started scrolling around, and realized that maybe a
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: mile and a half away, in an area I have
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: only grouse hunted briefly, and not for quite a while
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: I might add, I saw a similar setup with a
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: hayfield on private, a good-sized hill, some low stuff, and
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: what looked like another tight saddle. Now, what does that mean? Well,
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: I don't really know yet because I haven't gone in
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: there to look around, but my hope is that it'll
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: play out similarly to the other spot. And you know
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: what that does for me? It just cuts in half
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: my presence on either spot right off the bat. If
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: I can bounce between the two spots like that, I
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: can pick and choose more carefully which one I hunt
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: and when. The fear of blowing a big one out
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: gets cut by 50% pretty quickly, at least on paper. Now,
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to point to the stands before I
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: step into the batter's box here, because I don't know
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: if that spot will hunt as well as the first location.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: But you can bet I'm going to find out. And
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: all of that took me a few minutes of e-scouting
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: while sitting on a couch and scratching a black lab
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: behind your ears. In my experience, this is the time
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: of season where a lot of hunters kind of pump
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: the brakes. The opener is all excitement and optimism. And
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: if a buck doesn't go belly up for them, then
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: it's time to take it slow until the pre-rut is
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: definitely on. If you hunt pressured ground and follow that pattern,
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: I feel like you're making a mistake. I don't really
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: know any other way to put it. And that might
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: seem hard to believe if you're dealing with low or
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: no deer movement right now, but that's exactly what I'm
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: talking about. When you can't find deer, you can either
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: say they aren't moving or assume they are and go
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: find them. This works if you have 50,000 acres of
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: public land or 50 acres of private land. That first
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: funnel I mentioned, one of the few spots on public
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: land that I've ever encountered a buck I'm positive was
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: 160 inches. I went back and I looked at it
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: after getting distracted by finding other spots just like it.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: But instead of satellite imagery, I looked at it with
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: a topo map and the LiDAR layer on. A LIDAR
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: is an active remote sensing technology that fires off rapid
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: pulses of laser light to measure distances. It then uses
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: that data to create extremely accurate three-dimensional maps of the
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: land and the objects that are on the land. So
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: in other words, it lets you see the shape of
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: the land without having to try to look through the
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: forest canopy. Not only does this technology allow archaeologists the
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: opportunity to find ruins that have long been swallowed up
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: by the Amazon jungle... but it lets deer hunters look
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: at their deer ground in a way that it was
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: impossible to see before. I can't really describe how valuable
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: this can be, but as an experiment, if you've never
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: done it and have the option, look at your favorite
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: deer spots this way. I don't care if they are
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: on grandma's farm or out at the lease or whatever.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Just look at them with that fresh set of eyes,
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: because that will usually show you something you didn't know
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: about the area. You know, why they walk in the
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: way they do, or why they show up in mid-October
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: to a certain spot, whatever. This is just feeding data
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: into your brain to allow you to better recognize patterns
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: of deer behavior, and it's sort of a self-reinforcing loop.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: You can do what I just said, or you can
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: go out and scout in person and look at the
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: satellite imagery and LiDAR layers and all that stuff when
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: you're out there standing in the spot, too. Both work,
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: and both are really, really valuable. This is a thing
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: that will not only make you a better whitetail hunter,
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: but also make you more lethal if you ever pull
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: the trigger on a mule deer or an elk hunt.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: It'll help you find more public land roosters and grouse,
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: and what I've found recently can actually help you find
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: schools of smallmouth and muskies when you're out fishing. The
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: technology we have access to is crazy stuff, and it
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: absolutely can help you better understand the land. I also
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: think that this is important because it's effort you can
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: put in before the hunt, or I guess anytime when
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: you're actually not hunting. Too many whitetail hunters go set
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: a spot and then try to make something happen there
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: like you would, you know, when trying to strike up
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: a bugling bull in the mountains. But the whitetail game
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: is won mostly when you're not in the woods. It
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: just is. And that's sort of the beauty of the
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: whitetail versus the rest of the game out there, especially
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: Western game. They allow you to figure them out year
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: round and apply what you've learned when the season hits.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: Let me give you another example. In the beginning of September,
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: I paddled into a piece of public land that I
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: hunted when I was a teenager and haven't set foot
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: in for a long, long time, like 15 or 20
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: years probably. When I was hiking around trying to find
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: spots to arrow a buck in October, a lot of
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: memories came back to me. And, you know, as is
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: the case when you revisit an old friend after a
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: long absence, I realized how much things have changed. I
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: also found some killer spots and left feeling really good
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: about my chances. But when I got home, I pulled
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: up that property and looked at it with LIDAR. And
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: let me tell you, the big picture view I had
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: taken with me from e-scouting beforehand and then actually walking
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: the ground became something else. The knobs I found beds
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: on are plain as day. And so are some very
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: subtle crossings on ravines and washouts. I found an old
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: logging road on recent satellite imagery that looked like it'll
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: be a scrape fest when I hunt there. But with LiDAR,
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: I can see what is actually going on on that
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: particular hillside, you know, from the ridge top to the
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: valley below without actually seeing the logging road. Now I
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: can take a very likely travel route, as old logging
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: roads on hillsides usually are, and pinpoint where the bucks
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: are most likely to be concentrated on it. You know,
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: the entire length of it that I can hunt. I
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: can look at the whole thing and pick my spots.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: When the forecast calls for a west wind or a
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: north wind or whatever, I can find a spot to
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: sit that movement instead of writing it off because my
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: knowledge of it is too general, if that makes sense.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: I know every piece of that travel route. This gets
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: easier to read if you toggle on the slope layer too.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: But a lot of the stuff I've been talking about
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: is most useful if you hunt terrain with some elevation changes.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: That's my favorite ground to hunt, but I also spend
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: a lot of time on really flat ground, which is
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: a totally different thing. If that flat ground is big
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: woods type of habitat, it's even worse. Now you're looking
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: for transitions in cover where, you know, softwoods meet hardwoods
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: or where slightly lower and wetter ground meets slightly higher
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: and drier ground. Subtle stuff that when you're in it,
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: you know, is sort of obvious, but it's impossible to
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: see the big picture when you're standing next to a swamp.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: This is the kind of situation where identifying possible bedding
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: areas is really tough, because the cover is everywhere. Out west,
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: and in some places in the Midwest with a lot
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: of ag and really limited cover, that's a totally different story.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: The easiest thing to find is bedding cover, but pinch
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: points or subtle food sources might be a different story here.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: We all know some of the easier stuff to e-scout,
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: and it's all good. I think the more you think
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: about this stuff, the better off you're going to be.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: But I also think there's a hidden benefit to e-scouting
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: right now, even if you don't fully intend to put
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: boots on the ground. It sparks curiosity. When you listen
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: to a publicly known deer hunter and they speak without
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: a hint of curiosity, I'd say one of two things
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: is going on. They either have extreme confidence in themselves,
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: or they are hunting in situations where the mystery is
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: just gone. They know where the bucks live on the
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: ground they hunt, and they know it's a matter of time.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: But if you listen to a hunter who talks like
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: they are curious, you're listening to something else. Curiosity gets
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: you to break the deer hunting norms. It gets you
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: doing things others won't. And it is the process by
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: which we expand our available strategies to meet more and
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: more different types of hunting scenarios and conditions. When you're
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: sitting on your couch, wishing it was the rut, but
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: knowing you have a couple of weeks to get there,
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: do some e-scouting. Don't just look at the aerial imagery
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: to confirm what you already know. but mess around a
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: little to see if you can dig deeper. What usually
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: happens is that it leads to some level of curiosity. Like,
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: I always sit a stand on the edge here, but
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: sometimes I see the bucks cross the valley way over there. Why?
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: Most folks won't do the work to walk over there
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: and see, let alone to try to figure it out
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: with a scouting app. But that crossing, which is probably
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: not very obvious, has something the deer like, and with
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: some e-scouting, you can almost always start to tease out
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: the why behind that travel. Or maybe you're just trying
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: to get it better at predicting where bucks will bed
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: in your neighborhood, like I am. So you start looking
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: for those benches and those knobs and those spots with
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: just a slight uphill advantage that might offer them a
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: better chance at threat detection when the wind is straight
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: out of the south or whatever. Find a few of
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: those while e-scouting and go look at them in person.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: Or lace up your hiking boots and go look for
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: some rubs. And then when you find them, look at
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: them on your scouting app. Look at the area. Go
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: find some rubs or a scrape. then take a long
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: look around make your predictions on the why behind it
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: and then expand your scope of understanding by looking at
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: the area on your scouting app while toggling through the
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: most relevant layers check the wind map in those spots
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: maybe drop a camera to see what you can learn
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: but the point here is that this isn't the time
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: of the season to accept all the bucks are nocturnal
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: and you don't need to be anywhere near them because
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: they are unkillable this is the time to try some
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: things out and to scout with some intention despite what
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: a lot of folks say, you have very little to
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: lose by doing this right now and a whole lot
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: of experience to gain. And I'll say this, if you
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: start scouting around now to try to find a couple
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: locations that just pique your curiosity and then you actually
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: hunt them with a plan, you are far more likely
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: to run into a mature buck than the folks who
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: just aren't doing that. So get out there and come
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: back next week because I want to talk about scrapes,
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: some of the research behind them, some personal experience, and well,
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: a lot about this type of deer sign that can
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: be a really, really good thing to concentrate on if
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: you plan to hunt in mid-October. That's it for this week.
• 16:07
