Speaker 1: Welcome to Wired to Hunt's rutfresh Radio, bringing you the
0:04
Speaker 1: latest reports from the whitetail Woods, presented by First Light,
0:08
Speaker 1: creating proven versatile hunting apparel for the stand, saddle or blind.
0:13
Speaker 1: First Light Go farther, stay longer, and now your hosts
0:18
Speaker 1: Case Smith and Tyler Jones.
0:21
Speaker 2: This is rutfresh Radio and I'm your host Tyler Jones.
0:24
Speaker 2: This week we hear from hunters around the country who
0:26
Speaker 2: saw the benefits of a cold front and are working
0:29
Speaker 2: to understand native vegetation versus agriculture, how and when the
0:33
Speaker 2: deer relating to both, and what will happen in the
0:35
Speaker 2: next week.
0:36
Speaker 3: This is rutfresh. Let's go.
0:47
Speaker 2: This is rutfresh, brought to you by first Light Gear.
0:50
Speaker 2: I'm your host Tyler Jones. Case Smith's in the house
0:53
Speaker 2: with me too, hosting this thing. And we have been
0:57
Speaker 2: working hard the last week in Texas, of all places. Case,
1:02
Speaker 2: why would you work hard in a place that's as
1:04
Speaker 2: hot as Texas in the middle of October.
1:06
Speaker 3: Tyler's just sometimes some people work hard and that's just
1:09
Speaker 3: what they do, even whenever it doesn't benefit that much. Yeah,
1:14
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. So maybe we should work less,
1:17
Speaker 3: but in fact, I don't know, man, I just don't
1:20
Speaker 3: think that's how we're wired. And tell you the truth,
1:25
Speaker 3: hard work doesn't always mean success, but it is a
1:30
Speaker 3: better way to find success than to just sit around,
1:33
Speaker 3: so you can get out and find some new stuff out,
1:37
Speaker 3: figure out your own little place in this world sometimes.
1:43
Speaker 3: You know, it's it's pretty conventional thought that the rut
1:47
Speaker 3: in Texas is later than the Midwest. However that's not
1:53
Speaker 3: always the case. Texas is huge, Texas is huge, huge, huge,
1:57
Speaker 3: and uh, you know, they're there's a lot of different
2:01
Speaker 3: ruts in Texas. We've talked about it on our podcast
2:03
Speaker 3: quite a bit over the years, and I mean we've
2:07
Speaker 3: got ruts from what September to you know, mid to
2:11
Speaker 3: late December that that's and that's like that is not
2:15
Speaker 3: just like saying that the deer ruddy, but that's saying
2:17
Speaker 3: like that is the absolute rage of the rut, you
2:20
Speaker 3: know what I mean, that's that is the time that
2:22
Speaker 3: they are chasing the best week of the year. It
2:25
Speaker 3: goes from I mean, there's just a huge range because
2:27
Speaker 3: we've got a big coast, and we've got desert mountains
2:31
Speaker 3: that look like Mexico, and we've got the high planes,
2:33
Speaker 3: carbl mountain white tails. Michael Wadell showed a big one
2:35
Speaker 3: of those one time, did he? Yeah, sure enough. That's
2:37
Speaker 3: when I learned that that existed. Really yep from Michael Wadell.
2:42
Speaker 3: Michael Wadell, what a guy. He knows some stuff. Man,
2:44
Speaker 3: He's been there, seen that.
2:45
Speaker 4: You know.
2:46
Speaker 3: I want to target from him. One time.
2:49
Speaker 2: They did one of those caption this best caption wins
2:52
Speaker 2: a target and uh, you know that dice block out there,
2:56
Speaker 2: that's the one on that I said white l for President. Anyway,
3:04
Speaker 2: So yeah, what you were saying, though, and I guess
3:06
Speaker 2: probably what you're leading to, is that there are some
3:09
Speaker 2: ruts going on right now, and you and I decided
3:12
Speaker 2: to travel a little ways recently do some different things,
3:17
Speaker 2: and I actually went hunting on some public land and
3:21
Speaker 2: in one night might have had something go my way.
3:25
Speaker 2: We'll talk more about that on our podcast, the Element podcast,
3:28
Speaker 2: later on. But the fact of the matter is this
3:32
Speaker 2: is Rut Fresh Radio and we are talking about a
3:36
Speaker 2: rut going on in Texas right now. We hadn't really
3:38
Speaker 2: been able to talk about ruts anywhere, I don't think,
3:41
Speaker 2: on this podcast yet this year, and there were some
3:47
Speaker 2: ruddy ruddy things happening. And in fact, it was a
3:50
Speaker 2: cold front day, which I alluded to earlier in the
3:52
Speaker 2: intro of this podcast that guys are finding some success
3:54
Speaker 2: on cold fronts. We had a cold front day that
3:57
Speaker 2: coincided with a certain areas maybe beginning of its rut,
4:02
Speaker 2: and the things happened, and we saw the trail cameras
4:07
Speaker 2: light up. We were noticing like raccoons in the middle
4:10
Speaker 2: of the day walking around and just the open and
4:13
Speaker 2: that's how you know, man, the animals were moving, they
4:15
Speaker 2: were feeling frisky. It's like that first day of football
4:18
Speaker 2: practice when there's a little north wind and it's finally
4:22
Speaker 2: not ninety five. Just everybody's in a better mood and
4:25
Speaker 2: everybody wants to run around, you know, on the football field.
4:28
Speaker 2: And that's the way it is in the woods. And
4:29
Speaker 2: that was the day that that happened. It was a
4:32
Speaker 2: it was a pretty fun day. So anyway, you went
4:36
Speaker 2: and did some stuff in a different area where there's
4:39
Speaker 2: a different.
4:39
Speaker 3: Rut and there's no ruddy stuff happening, no ready stuff.
4:43
Speaker 3: So I was and yeah, there's a lot of curves. Man,
4:46
Speaker 3: I'm ready for the spring out there. You'll if you
4:50
Speaker 3: follow what we do is the element. You'll see a
4:52
Speaker 3: lot of videos coming from this particular property that we
4:55
Speaker 3: got access to up in the Panhandle. I went up
4:58
Speaker 3: and did a bunch of prep work there, and it's
5:03
Speaker 3: about eight hundred acres and I saw one rub which
5:06
Speaker 3: was nice to see. But we did see some deer
5:08
Speaker 3: a few doos around. There's a wheat plot planted dirt
5:14
Speaker 3: though there's nothing coming up any yet, so they need
5:16
Speaker 3: a little moisture. I'm out there. But yeah, So it's
5:21
Speaker 3: like the regionality of things was very apparent to me
5:23
Speaker 3: this week because we can be, you know, in the
5:27
Speaker 3: oaks and pines and potentially be seeing some deer doing
5:31
Speaker 3: some snooping, and then you go out there and nah, yeah,
5:34
Speaker 3: so you know, I'm not this is kind of a
5:38
Speaker 3: joke around here. But I'm not a big moon guy,
5:41
Speaker 3: you know. Yeah, I'm not much of a mooner, as
5:44
Speaker 3: they say. But I do think that potentially, I kind
5:52
Speaker 3: of think just like the lunar cycle with specifically according
5:56
Speaker 3: to the light that the moon provides makes a difference.
6:00
Speaker 3: I don't think that the deer, this is my personal opinion.
6:03
Speaker 3: I don't think that the deer feeling the pull of
6:05
Speaker 3: the moon, like a tide on the ocean does or
6:07
Speaker 3: anything like that, and it makes them get out of
6:09
Speaker 3: bed or whatever. But I think that and this kind
6:13
Speaker 3: of goes across all animals that are kind of that
6:18
Speaker 3: crepuscular type. Cruppuscular I think those are early in that
6:22
Speaker 3: it is. But anyways, I think that when you have
6:28
Speaker 3: a full moon, deer can do stuff all night long,
6:32
Speaker 3: and it actually is pretty similar movement to a new moon,
6:36
Speaker 3: which was means no moon. But when you have these
6:38
Speaker 3: half moons, you'll have a lot of moonlight, either early
6:42
Speaker 3: in the evening or early in the morning, you know
6:45
Speaker 3: what I mean, Like either side of the midnight, you'll
6:48
Speaker 3: have more light, and it kind of effects what you're
6:50
Speaker 3: going to see with deer movement for the next morning
6:54
Speaker 3: of the next evening. So I think that this past
6:57
Speaker 3: week we were experiencing some of that where right now
7:01
Speaker 3: you have just a little fingernail, so there's just not
7:04
Speaker 3: a lot difference. But before that, I think that there
7:07
Speaker 3: was a little bit of that whole The moon's hanging
7:09
Speaker 3: in the morning, so you're gonna see some stuff. But anyways,
7:13
Speaker 3: that kind of all goes back to say, where I
7:17
Speaker 3: didn't see a lot of activity out there, because I
7:19
Speaker 3: think there's a lot of deer doing stuff at night
7:23
Speaker 3: because yeah, they don't have a reason to get out
7:26
Speaker 3: because it's no rut. There's no bucks cruising or doing anything.
7:29
Speaker 3: And we didn't even see you know, I drove a
7:31
Speaker 3: good portion of the state yesterday evening in dear time,
7:36
Speaker 3: you know, and I didn't see any bucks on their feet. Yeah,
7:38
Speaker 3: so things are still. The best is yet to come. Still,
7:43
Speaker 3: that's encouraging.
7:44
Speaker 5: You know.
7:45
Speaker 3: You talk about this some, but like you get to
7:47
Speaker 3: like November eighteenth or nineteenth, and you can feel real
7:50
Speaker 3: depressed because it's like, oh, the thing has came and went.
7:53
Speaker 3: But that's not the case. And we'll talk more about
7:54
Speaker 3: that as the year progresses. And that's kind of what
7:58
Speaker 3: rutfresh is about, is to give you the up to
8:00
Speaker 3: today information as to what's going on in your neck
8:03
Speaker 3: of the woods right now. So, Tyler, who do we
8:06
Speaker 3: have today on refresh Man.
8:08
Speaker 2: We've got the gamut, We've got people in all the
8:11
Speaker 2: different corners of the US as much as possible.
8:14
Speaker 3: At least.
8:14
Speaker 2: We've got Chris Nickerson. He's up in Maine, which he
8:17
Speaker 2: refers to as a place that's called South Canada. We
8:22
Speaker 2: got Mike Hunsucker from Harlan bow Hunter. He's been hunting
8:24
Speaker 2: in Missouri, had some success there, got some good a
8:26
Speaker 2: good report for US, Tyler Jorden and Georgia out there
8:30
Speaker 2: in Georgia. And then Graham Cronin from Vortex. He is
8:35
Speaker 2: a Wisconsin guy who is you know, a knowledgeable white
8:41
Speaker 2: tail hunter in what potentially is the greatest white tail
8:45
Speaker 2: state that there's ever been.
8:46
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you look at Boone Crockett right in that
8:48
Speaker 3: wild yep, Buffalo County. It was a question on media
8:52
Speaker 3: or trivia the other day and I got it wrong
8:54
Speaker 3: because I just had the brain block thing. But it's
8:56
Speaker 3: like the top county for Boone Crockett in records. And
9:01
Speaker 3: it's like, I don't think of Wisconsin as in my
9:03
Speaker 3: top five for white tail states, but it is. It's
9:06
Speaker 3: because of your so called propaganda probably it's also it
9:11
Speaker 3: really is a reflection of like my geographic location, you know,
9:17
Speaker 3: like there's and it's because there's a lot of good
9:19
Speaker 3: stuff to drive through to get to wisc. Consin that dude,
9:22
Speaker 3: it is hard. But if you're you know, from you know, Michigan,
9:26
Speaker 3: you might think differently. Yeah, that's right, man, Mark Marcus.
9:30
Speaker 3: All right, anyways, enough of what I got to say.
9:33
Speaker 3: You got some good stuff to say. But let's see
9:35
Speaker 3: what these guys have to say. I've got Chris Nickerson.
9:39
Speaker 3: He's up in Maine right now. Chris, what's going on?
9:42
Speaker 6: Hey, man, I'm doing uh actually, just took a quick
9:45
Speaker 6: break here.
9:45
Speaker 5: I was doing some scouting this morning.
9:47
Speaker 6: Half my morning set, and I am sitting on a
9:49
Speaker 6: nice piece of granted in between two cornfields.
9:51
Speaker 3: Right now, man, is that where the bucks are sitting?
9:54
Speaker 5: There are zero.
9:54
Speaker 3: Bucks here in the state. You know, at least somewhere
10:01
Speaker 3: around there.
10:02
Speaker 5: We've got some good bucks in the state. They're just
10:04
Speaker 5: fewer far Petral.
10:05
Speaker 3: Yeah.
10:05
Speaker 2: That's cool, man. I'd love to go up there, but
10:07
Speaker 2: you know, it's about near, like going to a different
10:09
Speaker 2: country from Texas.
10:11
Speaker 6: So I jokingly tell my friends in the south this
10:13
Speaker 6: is They ask where I'm from.
10:14
Speaker 5: I say South Canada.
10:16
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I feel like there's some Canada that
10:19
Speaker 3: south of you there, but I'm not.
10:20
Speaker 5: Sure they're actually for sure.
10:23
Speaker 4: Yeah.
10:23
Speaker 3: So what are the deer doing right now? Man?
10:26
Speaker 5: I'll be honest, it's pretty tough.
10:27
Speaker 6: Right now.
10:27
Speaker 5: The deer are doing not a lot of anything.
10:30
Speaker 4: We've got a lot.
10:31
Speaker 6: I'm having a friend's farm here that I've got access to,
10:34
Speaker 6: you know, between four and five hundred acres.
10:36
Speaker 5: We've got cameras and very diverse parts of this.
10:39
Speaker 6: Farm, and we're getting absolutely no day like pictures of
10:41
Speaker 6: even dose right now. It's very tough. Yeah, it's very
10:45
Speaker 6: very little movement right now. So I've been on five
10:48
Speaker 6: sits so far on my trip up here and have
10:51
Speaker 6: not had any activity at all. So it's gonna be
10:53
Speaker 6: a tough one for me here.
10:54
Speaker 3: So but you're getting some night photos. I guess we are.
10:59
Speaker 6: I recently the last night got on a nice scrape line,
11:02
Speaker 6: got a medium sized buck coming out.
11:04
Speaker 3: But it's all.
11:05
Speaker 6: Between mid nine four a m of everything we're getting
11:07
Speaker 6: right now.
11:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, it's crazy. But if you travel to hunt
11:10
Speaker 2: medium sized bucks or shooters a lot of times, you know.
11:13
Speaker 6: Uh, if this guy shows himself with dinglight, I'm probably
11:16
Speaker 6: gonna have a hard time resisting.
11:18
Speaker 5: So yeah, gantee your conditions anyways.
11:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, are you so or any of you've got cameras
11:23
Speaker 2: over scrapes? Do you have them over any cornfields or
11:27
Speaker 2: anything like that?
11:28
Speaker 6: We do, We've got We've got a few on some cornfield,
11:31
Speaker 6: edges that brown up against in alfalfa field that's split
11:34
Speaker 6: down the middle. We've got you know, deep in the
11:37
Speaker 6: wounds on the fields, some heavy travel paths. You know,
11:40
Speaker 6: we've got a pretty diverse the camera.
11:43
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, okay, So but you're seeing that pictures,
11:48
Speaker 2: you you're assuming those deer are betting somewhere, but you're
11:52
Speaker 2: having trouble, I guess locating the betting.
11:55
Speaker 5: I am.
11:55
Speaker 6: And there's a there's such a diverse terrain here and
11:58
Speaker 6: in this part of Man that you've got everything from
12:00
Speaker 6: really swampy, you know, creek beds to higher areas with
12:05
Speaker 6: you know a lot of hardwoods, and locating buckbeds is
12:08
Speaker 6: very tough. I've only found one in the last five
12:10
Speaker 6: days here, so it's it's it's a challenge.
12:12
Speaker 2: Are the Do you think any of those hardwoods are
12:15
Speaker 2: creating problems as far as like dropping a bunch of
12:17
Speaker 2: feeder right now?
12:19
Speaker 5: That's actually something I've been looking for today.
12:21
Speaker 6: I've I've spent a good majority of today walking since
12:23
Speaker 6: I got out of my morning set looking for some
12:25
Speaker 6: some acorns, and I've even had a tough time locating
12:28
Speaker 6: anything like that.
12:29
Speaker 5: It seems that most of the deer here are just
12:31
Speaker 5: browsing and.
12:32
Speaker 6: Gainings, and everything is chewed off all the top, You're
12:35
Speaker 6: chewed off everywhere to go.
12:36
Speaker 5: It's almost like they're just constantly and it's a tough it's.
12:41
Speaker 6: Challenged to find a solid food source you.
12:44
Speaker 3: Can pattern off.
12:45
Speaker 2: I got you, Okay, So I guess you know going
12:50
Speaker 2: forward into the next week, you know, what's the weather
12:53
Speaker 2: going to be like up there? Is there any Is
12:55
Speaker 2: there any hope?
12:58
Speaker 6: This weekend it's actually gonna warm up, which is not
13:00
Speaker 6: what you want to see. We've done pretty steadily in
13:03
Speaker 6: the you know, highs of fifty eight to sixty which
13:05
Speaker 6: hasn't been terrible, and it's been very consistent weather, so.
13:09
Speaker 5: Nothing's really changing.
13:10
Speaker 6: And it's actually gonna warm up just to tad this
13:12
Speaker 6: weekend into probably sixty two sixty three degrees, which is
13:16
Speaker 6: what you want to see, but not a crazy change,
13:18
Speaker 6: but not not exactly the right direction I'd like to
13:20
Speaker 6: see either.
13:21
Speaker 2: Is it is it worth looking at water sources when
13:24
Speaker 2: it gets hotter like that?
13:26
Speaker 3: This time?
13:26
Speaker 6: Up up here, there's so much water that it's really
13:29
Speaker 6: not an issue. And all there's water almost every way
13:32
Speaker 6: you turn around.
13:32
Speaker 3: Here, gotcha? Okay?
13:34
Speaker 2: So uh, with the with the attempts warming up, I guess,
13:39
Speaker 2: and then maybe you know, you know what what's ideal
13:42
Speaker 2: is like when you get that warmer weather and then
13:43
Speaker 2: if you're able to hunt the cold front on the
13:45
Speaker 2: backside of that thing, especially as we get later in October,
13:48
Speaker 2: you know, that could be really good. You know, what
13:52
Speaker 2: would you be doing in the next seven days or
13:54
Speaker 2: so based off of weather or photo period or whatever.
13:58
Speaker 5: For me, I think at this point, I would just continue.
14:01
Speaker 6: To do a little bit of what I'm starting to
14:02
Speaker 6: do today is trying to locate a little bit more
14:04
Speaker 6: of a.
14:05
Speaker 4: Solid food source.
14:06
Speaker 5: Because I think even with the weather change, I think
14:08
Speaker 5: right now food is king. They know winter's coming and
14:12
Speaker 5: preparing for that.
14:13
Speaker 6: I think these bigger bucks, like the one, the ones
14:15
Speaker 6: I'm chasing, they've got a food source somewhere that I
14:17
Speaker 6: just haven't gotten onto yet. These ag fields are kind
14:20
Speaker 6: of being picked clean. The corn's kind of on its
14:22
Speaker 6: way out. There's not a lot out here, so they're
14:24
Speaker 6: not really showing themselves in the field. So I think,
14:26
Speaker 6: like you mentioned, you know, getting on some acorns, food
14:28
Speaker 6: sources like that that are a little bit more rich
14:30
Speaker 6: in protein.
14:30
Speaker 5: I think that's kind of where it's at.
14:32
Speaker 3: Gotcha?
14:32
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, in this next week, if you were to
14:36
Speaker 2: make an assumption about buck movement on a scale of
14:40
Speaker 2: one to ten, what would you rate that buck movement as?
14:43
Speaker 6: I think I'm gonna be real honest and give it probably,
14:48
Speaker 6: you know, smack in the middle of four and a
14:50
Speaker 6: half of five. I don't think you're too much movement.
14:52
Speaker 6: I think that's been been fair and I do think
14:56
Speaker 6: there's gonna be much changes. So I think a solid
14:57
Speaker 6: four and after five is where it's going to be.
15:00
Speaker 2: Hey, well, Chris, I appreciate the report, man, and all
15:02
Speaker 2: the information.
15:03
Speaker 3: Uh.
15:03
Speaker 2: I like it when you know people people talk fast
15:05
Speaker 2: on here because we can get a lot done in
15:07
Speaker 2: five minutes, you know what I mean.
15:08
Speaker 3: So I appreciate it. Man, Thanks for everything, and I
15:10
Speaker 3: hope you have a great season anytime.
15:12
Speaker 5: Thanks for having me.
15:14
Speaker 2: Now on the phone, I've got Michael Hunsucker from Heartland
15:16
Speaker 2: bow Hunter. Michael, what's going on, man?
15:19
Speaker 3: Not much?
15:20
Speaker 4: Just in the archery shop getting getting some new bows
15:23
Speaker 4: set up.
15:23
Speaker 3: Oh really? How about sure? That's cool? You your your
15:28
Speaker 3: current bon won't shoot good enough? True?
15:31
Speaker 7: Yeah, I had to just it's just fine. But I'm
15:33
Speaker 7: always tinkering.
15:34
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, man, you are.
15:35
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what. I sent you this message on
15:38
Speaker 2: Instagram of the day. But uh, you you know you
15:41
Speaker 2: shot a buck recently and you hit him real good
15:43
Speaker 2: and you usually do. Is that is the archery stuff?
15:47
Speaker 2: Just a three sixty five for you always doing that?
15:51
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, I mean I live and breathe up
15:53
Speaker 7: for sure, but I mean definitely don't always always hit
15:55
Speaker 7: them exactly where you want to hit them. Actually had
15:58
Speaker 7: a couple experiences last year where you just hit him
16:01
Speaker 7: just a little bit, a little bit off that spot
16:03
Speaker 7: and it can make.
16:04
Speaker 4: A world of difference.
16:05
Speaker 7: So that's kind of cool about archery hunting though, is
16:08
Speaker 7: you know I'm still learning. I've been doing this a
16:10
Speaker 7: long time and still learning every every day.
16:12
Speaker 3: Sure.
16:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a big challenge man. Well, so the cats
16:15
Speaker 2: out of the bag. You shot a deer year in
16:17
Speaker 2: Missouri and he's a nice buck. I saw the I
16:21
Speaker 2: guess like POV footage, but it looked like the deer
16:26
Speaker 2: was coming into food, Is that correct?
16:29
Speaker 5: Yeah?
16:29
Speaker 7: What what little food was there? We had a brutal,
16:32
Speaker 7: brutal year for food plots, but yeah, he was coming
16:34
Speaker 7: to a green, green plot.
16:36
Speaker 3: Gotcha, so brutal because of drought.
16:40
Speaker 7: Yep, brutal because of the drought and just just horrible
16:42
Speaker 7: drought and just really high high late summer temperatures.
16:46
Speaker 2: So is that would you say that the green food
16:48
Speaker 2: sources are performing better than like the grain right now?
16:52
Speaker 5: Yeah?
16:53
Speaker 7: Absolutely, it seems like acorns and green food sources of
16:56
Speaker 7: the play gotcha.
16:58
Speaker 2: So I know it looked like you've been hunt that
17:00
Speaker 2: deer a little bit and had some encounters with him
17:03
Speaker 2: so far. Was it all in the same area or
17:06
Speaker 2: is he doing different things?
17:08
Speaker 5: Yeah?
17:08
Speaker 7: He was really tight to an area and really wasn't
17:12
Speaker 7: moving much honestly at all in daylight.
17:15
Speaker 5: I mean I knew exactly where he was betted.
17:18
Speaker 7: And had a couple of encounters with him. Previous one
17:22
Speaker 7: had an in bow range after dark. Well it was
17:25
Speaker 7: legal light, so I could illegally shot him, but I
17:26
Speaker 7: didn't feel comfortable taking the shot twenty five yards even.
17:30
Speaker 7: And then I had a couple other encounters with him,
17:33
Speaker 7: once where kyote spooked him and he got got away,
17:36
Speaker 7: but he was in bow range, So I had him
17:37
Speaker 7: in bo range twice before I finally killed him. O man,
17:39
Speaker 7: And I did see him a third time off off
17:43
Speaker 7: in the distance, but all three times were within one
17:45
Speaker 7: hundred and fifty two hundred.
17:46
Speaker 4: Yards to circle radius.
17:47
Speaker 3: Wow, what kind of vegetation is he betting in?
17:51
Speaker 7: He's actually bedded in. It's almost like kind of swamp
17:55
Speaker 7: swampy type stuff. It's below a pond and big cottonwoods,
18:00
Speaker 7: but then tons of native grass and really tall grasses,
18:05
Speaker 7: so it's a it's a thick area. It's you know,
18:08
Speaker 7: sometimes deer like the bed up on ridgetops where they
18:11
Speaker 7: have high visibility and they you know, utilize the wind
18:14
Speaker 7: in their favor. This buck was just holding up.
18:16
Speaker 3: And he was smart, gotcha.
18:18
Speaker 2: So it looked like to me in the video when
18:21
Speaker 2: he came into the field, he kind of was doing
18:23
Speaker 2: some frisky stuff. Was he feeling the right at all,
18:26
Speaker 2: you think, or was it just something different?
18:28
Speaker 7: I don't know. I mean that cold snap had him
18:29
Speaker 7: all kind of feeling a little bit frisky. They little
18:33
Speaker 7: bucks were sparring.
18:34
Speaker 4: This buck. He jumped a.
18:35
Speaker 7: Fence and there was a couple of the deer in
18:37
Speaker 7: the plot, so he was approaching them. But I think
18:40
Speaker 7: more than anything, it was just his just his getting
18:43
Speaker 7: his big body over those logs and jumping the fence.
18:45
Speaker 7: You know, he had his momentum.
18:46
Speaker 3: Going yeah, yeah, I did, man, that's cool.
18:48
Speaker 7: So I was anticipating him just you know, going to
18:51
Speaker 7: slow down, stop start feeding, but he just kept on trotting,
18:53
Speaker 7: so I'd actually stop him, which I you know, I
18:55
Speaker 7: don't like to do unless you have to.
18:57
Speaker 2: You you got that soft grunt, stop down, man, you
19:01
Speaker 2: gotta yeah, you got to stop them with the softest
19:03
Speaker 2: grunt you can get them with usually, because if you don't,
19:06
Speaker 2: they're gonna get real tense, real quick, you know.
19:09
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, I feel like that every situation is a
19:11
Speaker 7: little different with that. You know that one worked with
19:14
Speaker 7: the soft grunt. Last year, I had one of those
19:15
Speaker 7: crunching through leaves and you could have yelled at the
19:17
Speaker 7: begining to stop. So it's just you never you never know.
19:20
Speaker 2: Yep, yep, that's right man. Well, So in the next
19:23
Speaker 2: week or so, do you expect to still be able
19:26
Speaker 2: to shoot deer on green food sources or are things
19:29
Speaker 2: going to change?
19:29
Speaker 3: You think?
19:31
Speaker 5: Yeah?
19:31
Speaker 4: I think so.
19:31
Speaker 7: I mean I think if you have good green food
19:33
Speaker 7: sources and they're not and they're not like just locked
19:35
Speaker 7: in on some a orange dropping, I think that they're
19:39
Speaker 7: usually the key Clover, Nebraska's turn ups that type of stuff.
19:44
Speaker 7: But it really just kind of depends. And you know
19:46
Speaker 7: this this next week coming up, we've had some nice
19:50
Speaker 7: little cold snaps here and there. It looks like we
19:51
Speaker 7: got one coming up on Thursday. It's kind of cool
19:53
Speaker 7: off a little bit, but after that gets back up
19:55
Speaker 7: into the warm, warmer temperatures mid seventies, and so that's
19:58
Speaker 7: going to really slow things back down.
20:00
Speaker 2: M hm. So if you were looking forward to say
20:02
Speaker 2: the next seven days or so, if you had to
20:05
Speaker 2: predict what Buck movement would be on a scale of
20:07
Speaker 2: one to ten based off those variables you talked about,
20:10
Speaker 2: what would you what would you put it at.
20:13
Speaker 7: I'm gonna say I'm gonna put it probably like a six,
20:15
Speaker 7: six or seven. It's not not looking great.
20:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's a if we can get a front
20:22
Speaker 2: though after that and that timing will work out really well.
20:25
Speaker 2: I feel like where that you know, last part of
20:28
Speaker 2: October and first part of November is going to really
20:30
Speaker 2: be on fire. So that's it's exciting that that's the
20:33
Speaker 2: that's the potential in the next couple of weeks, you know.
20:35
Speaker 7: Yeah, absolutely, I mean, very vary into in the weather
20:38
Speaker 7: is key. I mean, you can't just if it was
20:40
Speaker 7: just cool, you know, for weeks on end, you know,
20:42
Speaker 7: it wouldn't be as powerful as when it's warm in
20:44
Speaker 7: the boom it drops out and then just just really
20:47
Speaker 7: triggers them.
20:48
Speaker 2: Absolutely well. I appreciate it, Mike. I look forward to
20:51
Speaker 2: seeing the full video on that deer at some point,
20:53
Speaker 2: and I hope you guys have a great rest of
20:55
Speaker 2: your season.
20:56
Speaker 5: Thanks buddying you too.
21:13
Speaker 2: All right, on the phone, I've got Tyler Jordy from
21:15
Speaker 2: Real Tree. Tyler, it's crazy. We just got on the
21:18
Speaker 2: phone with each other for the first time, never met,
21:21
Speaker 2: and we're best friends.
21:22
Speaker 8: I know, we're best friends, and you're coming to an
21:24
Speaker 8: old mess game next weekend.
21:26
Speaker 4: But that's how good are friends. We just became.
21:27
Speaker 2: I feel at a lot of peer pressure right now. Man,
21:31
Speaker 2: Well man, what's been going on. I know you've been
21:33
Speaker 2: hunting a little bit. Has it been pretty good?
21:36
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, it's been pretty good.
21:37
Speaker 8: You know, the last four or five days I would say,
21:40
Speaker 8: have been definitely better, probably the best it's been, you know,
21:43
Speaker 8: up to this point in the you know, in the season.
21:46
Speaker 8: And you know, my little brother shot a buck last Sunday,
21:51
Speaker 8: and you know, for Youth Weekend with a rifle, So
21:54
Speaker 8: really excited about that, and you know, just trying to
21:57
Speaker 8: take advantage of that first cold front. You know, that's
22:00
Speaker 8: really kind of my favorite time to hunt is when
22:03
Speaker 8: you have those first you know, two or three days
22:05
Speaker 8: and it gets you know, cooler weather.
22:08
Speaker 3: You know.
22:08
Speaker 8: So it was happy for for Colton that we were
22:10
Speaker 8: able to get a good solid eight pointer on the
22:12
Speaker 8: ground and you know, have another big deer that we're
22:15
Speaker 8: trying to hunt. But uh, you know, unfortunately, I think
22:18
Speaker 8: the weather's really going to warm up later this week.
22:20
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you you and Colton shot this deer. What
22:23
Speaker 2: was he doing?
22:26
Speaker 4: He actually came into a food plot.
22:28
Speaker 8: You know, we were we were hunting this food plot
22:30
Speaker 8: where this deer we've seen him in several times. You know,
22:34
Speaker 8: he's been on camera and I will say he has
22:36
Speaker 8: not really been daylight at all. Uh, but you know,
22:39
Speaker 8: we just kind of went in there thinking, man, you know,
22:41
Speaker 8: take advantage of this cooler weather. And then the first
22:44
Speaker 8: thing he did when he entered the food plot, he
22:46
Speaker 8: came in and checked the scrape and we got all
22:48
Speaker 8: that on camera and hopefully we'll put that up here,
22:50
Speaker 8: you know, sometime soon on on our you know, road
22:53
Speaker 8: trip show. But came in there checked the scrape, and
22:56
Speaker 8: you know he was kind of, you know, bumping doze
22:59
Speaker 8: just a little bit. You know, they were feeling a
23:02
Speaker 8: little bit frisky with his cooler weather. But yeah, that's
23:05
Speaker 8: kind of what he was doing when he came in.
23:06
Speaker 2: Man, that's cool. So this is a green food source,
23:09
Speaker 2: I'm guessing right, yes, bid Cloverfield. Okay, And was this
23:14
Speaker 2: a mock scrape or had this been put up set
23:15
Speaker 2: up by the deer.
23:16
Speaker 4: No, this has been set up by the deer.
23:18
Speaker 2: Oh cool man. So as far as you know other
23:22
Speaker 2: food sources, have you seen deer hitting any acrons or
23:25
Speaker 2: anything like that, any oak trees or Yeah.
23:28
Speaker 8: So that's been the primary, you know, food source, I
23:30
Speaker 8: would say over the last probably two weeks, Tyler is
23:34
Speaker 8: you know, I feel like that's what a lot of
23:36
Speaker 8: these deer are doing. They've been a little bit just
23:38
Speaker 8: more reclusive. You know, there's just plenty of cover and food.
23:41
Speaker 8: I mean, I walked around today, you know, trying to
23:43
Speaker 8: pick up this bigger bug that I've been trying to
23:46
Speaker 8: hunt since really the beginning of the season. And I
23:49
Speaker 8: mean everywhere you walk, I don't think I've ever seen
23:51
Speaker 8: an acron drop like this. I mean, we just got
23:53
Speaker 8: a bunch of red and white oaks kind of falling everywhere,
23:56
Speaker 8: and which makes it, you know a little bit difficult,
23:59
Speaker 8: especially with the weather you know warming up right now.
24:02
Speaker 8: Is you know, just kind of really honing in on
24:06
Speaker 8: exactly what to do. So, you know, we found an
24:08
Speaker 8: acorn flat today and I put a camera up and
24:11
Speaker 8: you know, we'll see kind of what happens. But it
24:13
Speaker 8: definitely seems like hardwoods and timber is really where you
24:18
Speaker 8: want to be right now.
24:19
Speaker 2: Sure, So how important is the cold weather to that
24:23
Speaker 2: success you had this week?
24:25
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I would say it's kind of everything.
24:28
Speaker 8: You know, I'm probably like I've even kind of contemplated
24:31
Speaker 8: as much as I do want to go in there
24:32
Speaker 8: and hunt these these hardwoods. Over the next you know,
24:36
Speaker 8: three or five days, it's going to be in the
24:37
Speaker 8: upper seventies, and I just don't know if I want
24:40
Speaker 8: to do more harm than good. So, you know, I
24:43
Speaker 8: really think we're going to need that colder weather, and
24:45
Speaker 8: I don't really know if we're going to get that.
24:47
Speaker 8: You know, it looks like the twenty ninth and thirtieth
24:50
Speaker 8: I kind of have circled right now.
24:53
Speaker 4: You know, the weather is going to be in the.
24:54
Speaker 8: Lower sixties, you know for highs, and you know, for us,
24:57
Speaker 8: that's pretty cool weather, you know, because I I think
25:00
Speaker 8: tomorrow next day, you know, it's going to be seventy seven,
25:03
Speaker 8: seventy eight, and you know, just my experience, after that
25:07
Speaker 8: first kind of cold front, the weather goes back that warm.
25:10
Speaker 8: You know, that's that's kind of what I refer to
25:12
Speaker 8: a little bit as that October lowll kind of dead period.
25:15
Speaker 3: Sure, so in your region of Georgia, when is the
25:17
Speaker 3: rut in your opinion.
25:20
Speaker 8: You know, I would say, like somewhere like November eighth
25:23
Speaker 8: to like the fourteenth, I would say, that's probably when
25:26
Speaker 8: it's you know, really starting to pop off.
25:29
Speaker 3: Gotcha.
25:29
Speaker 2: So even even with that cold weather at the end
25:32
Speaker 2: of the month here that you don't expect it to
25:35
Speaker 2: be just a ten out of ten going until maybe
25:38
Speaker 2: two weeks later.
25:39
Speaker 4: Or so, I would say.
25:41
Speaker 8: So, I mean, and that's kind of what I'm banking on,
25:43
Speaker 8: at least for this particular buck that we're hunting, and
25:45
Speaker 8: you know, for a couple of other ones we have targeted.
25:48
Speaker 8: You know, I'm I'm probably more looking forward to the
25:51
Speaker 8: first of November. You know that that's just kind of
25:53
Speaker 8: where like my head, my head is right now unless
25:55
Speaker 8: something just drastically changes, you know, I mean.
25:59
Speaker 4: Not this say, I don't have any hope at all.
26:01
Speaker 8: Obviously going to go in there and try to maximize
26:04
Speaker 8: whatever opportunity we can, but you know, kind of looking
26:07
Speaker 8: forward to the rut.
26:09
Speaker 2: So you know, if things, if things cool back down
26:11
Speaker 2: after we get this warm, kind of stagnant stretch here,
26:15
Speaker 2: would you change anything about what you're like the way
26:18
Speaker 2: you're hunting, So as far as you know you guys
26:20
Speaker 2: killed near a scrape on a green field, would you
26:24
Speaker 2: would you change anything if we were closer to the
26:27
Speaker 2: end of the month when the weather came in.
26:30
Speaker 8: Uh, you know, I mean I would probably look at
26:34
Speaker 8: maybe getting a little bit closer to some of the bedding,
26:37
Speaker 8: you know, at least at least in my situation where
26:40
Speaker 8: I think this buck is like he's not really getting
26:43
Speaker 8: to any of these green fields or any of the
26:45
Speaker 8: have like some standing corn fields, and we've cut a
26:48
Speaker 8: portion of it. And like I said on it last night,
26:50
Speaker 8: and you know, didn't see but one deer the whole night,
26:54
Speaker 8: and I could see a long ways. I think you know,
26:56
Speaker 8: if we had that cold front come in again, I
26:59
Speaker 8: would just try to in the distance a little bit more.
27:01
Speaker 8: And that's something I may not try, you know, two, three,
27:04
Speaker 8: four days in a row. I may just try it
27:06
Speaker 8: once or twice and if it works, it works. But
27:09
Speaker 8: you know, what I'm what I would like to do
27:11
Speaker 8: is to get a lot closer to their to their
27:14
Speaker 8: bedding area. Up to this point, I feel like I've been,
27:17
Speaker 8: you know, real.
27:17
Speaker 4: Protective of that.
27:19
Speaker 8: But if I feel like if I have a good wind,
27:22
Speaker 8: good weather, you know, that's something I'll probably try to
27:25
Speaker 8: do different than I haven't done yet.
27:26
Speaker 2: Sure, so in the next week or so, what do
27:30
Speaker 2: you think the buck movement is going to be? Based
27:34
Speaker 2: on a scale of one to ten? What number would
27:36
Speaker 2: you get it? Give it?
27:38
Speaker 8: You know that this probably is going to sound a
27:40
Speaker 8: little bit low, but I you know, i'd.
27:42
Speaker 4: Probably say even four.
27:43
Speaker 3: Yeap, good. You know That's that which is kind of
27:46
Speaker 3: where I'm at.
27:47
Speaker 2: Everybody's got, you know, get got these optimistic you know, expectations,
27:50
Speaker 2: and I'm I'm I try to be an optimist too,
27:52
Speaker 2: but you know, sometimes you just got to be real
27:55
Speaker 2: with yourself and say, Okay, these are work days. These
27:57
Speaker 2: aren't hunting days, you know what I mean. Yeah, so,
28:00
Speaker 2: and that's just previous experience. And that's not to say
28:02
Speaker 2: it's not going to be really good for anybody else. Obviously,
28:05
Speaker 2: nobody hold me to that rating in Georgia when they
28:07
Speaker 2: send me a picture of a john, because I hope
28:09
Speaker 2: it happens for everybody. You know, after that first kind
28:13
Speaker 2: of cold snap, it just that October lowll at least
28:16
Speaker 2: for us.
28:17
Speaker 4: I mean, it seems to hit.
28:18
Speaker 8: And you know, not to say you don't get a
28:20
Speaker 8: couple of really good days in there, of some good
28:22
Speaker 8: weather you can take advantage of and hunt, but you know,
28:26
Speaker 8: with the weather warming up, I'm just not overly optimistic.
28:31
Speaker 4: But again, you never know.
28:33
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure.
28:34
Speaker 2: Well, Tyler, I appreciate what what you've done, you and
28:37
Speaker 2: your dad have done for the hunting community man, and
28:39
Speaker 2: I appreciate you taking my call, and I hope that
28:42
Speaker 2: that big buck you're hunting gives you a chance here
28:44
Speaker 2: in the next couple of weeks.
28:45
Speaker 4: I appreciate it, Tyler, to look forward to doing it again.
28:48
Speaker 2: On the phone, I've got Graham cronin from Vortex. He's
28:52
Speaker 2: up in Wisconsin. Graham, what's the weather like up there right.
28:55
Speaker 9: Now, Hey, Tyler, thanks for having me. Man, sure pretty consistent.
29:01
Speaker 9: You know, the past couple of days here just kind
29:02
Speaker 9: of kind of lingering between that like mid fifties to
29:05
Speaker 9: low sixties. It looks like it's going to be that
29:08
Speaker 9: way for a couple of days here now.
29:11
Speaker 2: So that's that's what a lot of people are seeing
29:14
Speaker 2: right now. I think across the country we kind of
29:15
Speaker 2: have this like it's not a terrible weather, but it's
29:19
Speaker 2: a stagnant weather pattern, and you know, it's kind of
29:23
Speaker 2: made for a lot of tough hunting conditions. Is are
29:27
Speaker 2: you seeing the same thing or do you're moving pretty
29:29
Speaker 2: good around you?
29:31
Speaker 9: Yeah, I would say for the most part seeing the
29:32
Speaker 9: same thing. Kind of that real stigment weather. It just
29:35
Speaker 9: really doesn't have them doing too much where we've kind
29:38
Speaker 9: of looked out. In the past week, we had a
29:40
Speaker 9: couple of rain spells where it lasted for about two
29:42
Speaker 9: to three days, and then hunting that break. I know
29:45
Speaker 9: a lot of people that have had success and like
29:47
Speaker 9: people seeing their cameras blow up with bucks hitting scraps.
29:50
Speaker 9: So even though it is that stagnant, whether you know,
29:52
Speaker 9: trying to find those different opportunities that are going to
29:54
Speaker 9: get a move and so whether it's wind switches, you know,
29:57
Speaker 9: looking for those rain conditions, I think you can still
29:59
Speaker 9: beretty sucessful this time of year with.
30:01
Speaker 2: That, even Yeah, what what would you focus on if
30:04
Speaker 2: you had a rain shower one day? What would you
30:06
Speaker 2: when you go out to hunt? What are you going
30:08
Speaker 2: to look at hunting?
30:09
Speaker 9: Oh, man, I would be this time of year. I'm
30:11
Speaker 9: looking at oak flats and I am trying to find scrapes. Yeah,
30:15
Speaker 9: if I can find a scrape that looks like it's
30:17
Speaker 9: been worked, you know, in the past year or two,
30:19
Speaker 9: you know, depending on what that rain looked like, find
30:22
Speaker 9: one that looks like it's pretty fresh, because as soon
30:24
Speaker 9: as that rain stops, I would expect the buck to
30:26
Speaker 9: probably be freshen them that up.
30:28
Speaker 3: So white oaks, red oaks, what are you looking at?
30:32
Speaker 4: A lot of whites bund me this year. So I've
30:33
Speaker 4: been hunting those primarily, gotcha.
30:35
Speaker 2: So this is this is the kind of million dollar
30:39
Speaker 2: question here for a lot of people who are talking
30:41
Speaker 2: about white oaks. But have you found any way to
30:45
Speaker 2: really focus in on this is why this oak tree
30:49
Speaker 2: is the place to be as opposed to all the
30:50
Speaker 2: other Maybe hundreds of oak trees in the woods, which
30:53
Speaker 2: maybe it's not that way, but a lot of places
30:55
Speaker 2: that have white oaks, you know, there's a bunch of them,
30:58
Speaker 2: So how do you focus on one?
31:01
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean really it's for me.
31:03
Speaker 9: I haven't found a specific reason of, you know, why
31:05
Speaker 9: this tree is doing better.
31:06
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm sure there's a reason out there.
31:08
Speaker 9: I'm not a tree guy, yeah, so I don't have
31:10
Speaker 9: that answer, but I am a deer guy. So I'm
31:12
Speaker 9: just looking for the deer sign around those trees. So
31:15
Speaker 9: it's just trying to figure out, you know, where those
31:16
Speaker 9: deer are, kind of where they're coming from, where they're
31:19
Speaker 9: going to.
31:19
Speaker 2: And then going off of that, would you say what
31:22
Speaker 2: percentage of the acorns have fallen off of those of
31:25
Speaker 2: those trees generally speaking right now?
31:29
Speaker 4: Ooh, that'd be tough. I'd say probably majority of them.
31:33
Speaker 9: There's still a lot lingering on, but I would say
31:35
Speaker 9: probably in that sixty to seventy percent range.
31:38
Speaker 2: So in the next week, would you change what you're
31:42
Speaker 2: gonna do or would you still stay with you know,
31:45
Speaker 2: scrapes on oak flats?
31:48
Speaker 4: I would probably stick.
31:49
Speaker 9: You know, it's in the next seven days, it's probably
31:51
Speaker 9: it looks pretty much the same, you know, that kind
31:53
Speaker 9: of fifties sixties degree temps, but just outside.
31:57
Speaker 4: Of that range.
31:58
Speaker 9: You know, we're looking you know that eighth day, we're
32:00
Speaker 9: going to get another ring spell for a couple of days.
32:02
Speaker 9: So I think it'd still be hitting that in the
32:04
Speaker 9: strategy of you know, getting in there, finding those screeps
32:07
Speaker 9: and hunting them because you know, even on cameras, you're
32:09
Speaker 9: starting to see bucks freshening those up more and more frequently.
32:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you think that there is a definite increase
32:17
Speaker 2: in testosterone happening right now the deer is starting to
32:20
Speaker 2: to check and really get ready and ramp up towards
32:23
Speaker 2: that rut. Or is it still a lot of night
32:26
Speaker 2: movement or is that day is going to be some
32:28
Speaker 2: day movement in there.
32:30
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean you're starting to just get on the
32:31
Speaker 9: fringe of that day movement. I mean, you know, looking
32:34
Speaker 9: at my small sample size of the cameras that I
32:36
Speaker 9: got out, like within the past four or five days,
32:39
Speaker 9: you're starting to see a lot of those two and a.
32:40
Speaker 4: Half three and a half year old bucks start hitting
32:42
Speaker 4: those screeps.
32:44
Speaker 9: I mean I've had some that are definitely been in
32:46
Speaker 9: legal light but still kind of like right on the fringe.
32:49
Speaker 4: But yeah, I would.
32:50
Speaker 9: Say it's probably not too long from now where you
32:52
Speaker 9: see those big boys getting up and start moving a
32:54
Speaker 9: lot more.
32:55
Speaker 3: Too, gotcha.
32:56
Speaker 2: So in the next week, in the next seven days
32:59
Speaker 2: or maybe even eight, we'll cheat a little bit here,
33:02
Speaker 2: are you I mean, are you thinking that the deer
33:06
Speaker 2: movement or I guess let's just say, is the buck
33:08
Speaker 2: movement going to increase or is it going to be
33:12
Speaker 2: about the same?
33:15
Speaker 9: I would say in the in the near future, it's
33:17
Speaker 9: gonna be about the same, but kind of like hitting
33:18
Speaker 9: that seven day mark, I'm going to see a big
33:21
Speaker 9: increase just with the time of year. You know, we're
33:23
Speaker 9: going into late October here, we're getting that ring spell
33:26
Speaker 9: and you know they're starting to think about things.
33:28
Speaker 4: So I would say it's definitely trending up.
33:30
Speaker 2: So let's HiPE people up a little bit on the
33:31
Speaker 2: seventh or eighth day. From this point on, on scale
33:35
Speaker 2: of one to ten, what do you think the buck
33:37
Speaker 2: movement is going to be like on that seventh or
33:39
Speaker 2: eighth day, I'm.
33:41
Speaker 9: Gonna put it at a strong just even from what
33:43
Speaker 9: we saw with this last ring movement and just knowing
33:45
Speaker 9: that you know, we're obviously getting closer to November. I'm
33:47
Speaker 9: gonna put it like a six and a half seven.
33:50
Speaker 9: I think you're gonna on a good movement.
33:52
Speaker 3: Man, that's awesome.
33:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, So that's exciting, you know, and things just get
33:56
Speaker 2: better from this point on for a while. So, uh,
33:59
Speaker 2: it's a good time to be in the woods. I
34:01
Speaker 2: appreciate the information and the report, Graham from Wisconsin, and
34:05
