They are starting to move in my area…. No shooters yet but about a dozen 3 year old and younger bucks…. Exciting to see the plan come together!
I dont even hunt until october. Lot of ag fields about a mile from my land that holds the deer until they take out the crops, plus the neighbor puts on a lot of pressure early. Spooks them onto my place. I learned from watching your videos to be patient. Bucks seem to show up a week or 2 before the rut starts. A few does are already here. The public land is only a few miles away. I really need to take your advice and check it out. Thank you guys for another great post!
Jeff and Dylan, Goodluck to you and the family this year.
Have a happy and safe season.
Thank you for what you guys do.
Good morning
This Saturday bow hunting in Vermont. Here we can only take one buck for all the deer seasons. My family shoot does and if a buck comes past us we are very selective on what we harvest. We see deer all the time on the farm mostly we see young bucks spikes up to 4-5 or 6 pt. People around us shoot what ever is legal. It’s hard to let ducks get old. Most times we let them walk. We follow your advice. You talks are great.
Thank you for speaking about Doe's; Beginner here, this is helpful
Thanks Jeff! Just like Salmon fishing, nothing attracts boats like boats! Get away from the crowd and find your own deer!
Wish it was season with this cool front right now in the UP Michigan! Warms up a bit for the first of October but I'm still pumped up!
Jeff, I put in a remote water hole last March per your video instructions. Put a camera on it early July and had one momma doe and her fawn using it. Then two weeks ago, like a switch, several new deer using including several decent bucks. So cool to see the shift happening and watching the deer come to an attraction i installed. Thanks so much for all your knowledge and willingness to share.
Jeff is consistent we love it as veiwers!
Mr. Sturgis, have that young Dylan fill those water sources to the rim. :) As always, love your content; it's second to none!
Looking forward to Texas opening season bow only on Oct 1st till Nov 4th got a 14 point non-typical 3yr and massive 5yr old 10 point with possible 11 point kicker to come back through this season. They home for fall an winter on the 30 acres behind my property I get to hunt.
The shift is on. Starting to see some young bucks and picked up a few more does. Jeff how much will agricultural crop rotation affect deer movement? I had all corn around me last year and now it is all beans.
Exactly the same for me…. I noticed a lot less activity this summer and fall so far. I assumed it was because I am surrounded by beans and not corn this year. With that said they are starting to filter in now. Beans and some corn are starting to come out. Farmers around here just started harvesting.
The farm I hunt was amazing. The Amish neighbors have a bunch of boys growing up fast. Long story short, they don't care about antlers. Our doe pop is getting slaughtered. Last year I saw and shot 2 rack bucks, never seen a single doe. We've moved our food plot farther from them. Hoping some does will survive. Only seeing 2 does and 3 fawns on cam this year. It's enough to bring some bucks in. Protect your does.
I'm headed out tonight on public land in Ohio 😊 wish me luck 🤞
Thanks for another great video, Jeff!👊
The shift is on in force in my area. Instead of no bucks showing up during the day, they also no longer show up at night. 🧐
Nice!!
Same here! I got a 3 year I passed on yesterday that's still around but the older mature bucks have vanished as far as pics
Will be hunting in missouri this weekend. Thanks for all you teach us.
Had a huge mature 9 point buck walk 30 yards to my right. I was facing the wrong way. I tried to raise my bow and turn slowly, but he looked directly at my soul, i froze, he then turned and just calmly walked away. 😭
Jeff your quite the deer farmer! I agree with your strategy on weather fronts and hunting food and bedding but pull it together and start showing how great you are on public! I know you do hunt public. But I wasn’t impressed with your ordeal with the THP challenge in Pennsylvania which you’ve stated you have so much experience in Pennsylvania! You do great with setting up on private. Wished you could focus more on the common man like Dan infalt or THP have a great season!
12? Must be at deer camp 😁😂 Just now starting to see bucks showing up our bigger bucks still haven’t made there shift yet but hopefully will be here in a few weeks!
Can you do a video on "what now"? Super drought conditions in Kentucky, radish and pea plot failed. No rain in sight. Is it worth throwing a ton of rye and hoping for the best? Only 30 days out from prime activity.
Definitely worth 200#s of rye per acre snd enjoy the season 😊
No shooters yet on my farm. I was able to harvest a turkey last weekend though
Hi Jeff, I have a corebuck that needs at least another year but I worry about neighbors shooting him. Do you think I should pass on him?
Boy that's a tough call snd a personal one! Totally up to you 😊
I passed one yesterday that's a core 3 1/2 year old thinking the same thing about neighbors... I let him go though hopeful for next year on him
I’m going to need those coordinates for the Michigan funnel, thanks 😂
Hey Jeff, just a quick question. I have a small pasture out behind my barn that the deer are in pretty much everyday. It's mostly red clover, Vetch, orchard grass and this year the aster has seemed to be prolific. I'm in canada so our first frost could be any time now I was just wondering if the deer would still munch on that after it's been frost killed. I have other stands around just wondering if I should leave that small pasture area this year to keep them around (as last year I I it for hay for my animals before deer season) its 3-4 feet tall right now and provides some okay cover I suppose. Just curious. I live in the big woods and there's not much in the way of lush green open growth aside from my place and my neighbour down the roads large hay fields. But the small pasture is tucked away in a corner behind the old barn and the deer travel around the barn daily from the swamp across the road into the hills behind my house
Haven’t seen a buck on camera on the property I have leased for 10 years. 1st time I have no pics of a buck. Ton of does so I’m hopeful they will show up.
Would love to see ya come hunt Texas public and see your vids and input on it.
How about some strategies for early season public land northeast pa big woods bucks .
I’m new to bow hunting and Ik I’m walking to the deep untouched areas of the public I hunt and I see lots of does but haven’t been able to find any bucks, I hunt evenings till dark and spray down goin in and out with all the other measures included
@Number 1 Western Fan I assumed the same but the thick stuff I’m hunting backs up against ag and on the other side is a ridge system of oaks…food there and so is cover and a trout stream, found a couple rubs nothin crazy but no sign of shit
Freeze advisory for clare,rosscommon n several others tonight.wends. n frost warnings for bay county down aways.nothing for the thumb area yet but 50's day time 40's night time.hunting looks good for sat.alot of movement.
What if another hunter is hunting your rut spot or near your rut spot that's not too heavily pressured? Hunt it anyway for bow since they are already blowing it out during bow season? Thanks, appreciate the content. -Tony from Michigan
Have you ever hunted deer in west Texas?
Thanks for the content sirs. Can you please share some lessons learned on land leases? Maybe some do’s and dont’s? I am in NC where our public land is over run by hunting dogs 🙄🙄
Orange Gang with Hounds is no joke. Brother you can still kill good public land bucks you have to beat the Orange Gang and Hounds before Gun comes in.
Yeah I’m seeing four 1 year olds and two 2 year olds but no shooters yet during bow. Just saying soon I’ll have dogs licking my face 😂😂🤬
Come west, buddy. No dogs over here in the mountains. We have a short bear season in October but they don't mess with the deer too bad.
Thanks for sharing great video sir
Thanks Jeff!
Not a big believer in spooking a buck and expecting him to leave the are or won't be back in 2-3 weeks. If you have a hot spot for bucks they aren't going anywhere. Maybe they go dark for a week but they don't leave the area.
I just bought 45 acres surrounded buy property that no one can hunt. I live in West Michigan. I would like your help in setting up my property for big white tails. I have many bucks now, but only 125 to 140. I know there are bigger bucks around. I want to make my property their home. Please help me so I don't mess it up!! Ed.
Hi Jeff, were you or one of your workers in Chippewa Falls Wi on the 23 in a black truck?
Can you give an opinion or a video about drippers?
I'm sure you have put a video out on it but I can't remember ...what is your thoughts on fawn (with spots) surviving if you shoot the mom?
I don't know how to get big bucks because i live in Indiana, any tips
Hey I got a question and would really help me. We have a side yard that’s about 1 to 1 half acre right next to my house and it’s in between my house and my neighbors house. that’s a day care but there not outside that much closer to the hunting season and there’s a road in front of it, and there’s 2 fields and a woods behind both our houses where the deer are and we were thinking about surrounding the whole thing in a good amount of corn to where they will feel safe and we were gonna have a good size food plot in the middle and a water source in there and maybe some tall grass for bedding but not sure on that yet. Do you think they would come that close to houses and a road if they have a good amount of cover and feel safe and they will have a consistent food source. I would really appreciate it if someone could give there opinion if this would work. Thanks
What are some alternatives to hanging deer when the weathers too warm?
Taking my 72 year old work partner out Saturday.Got his Crossbow all sighted in.He wants meat.Let’s see how it goes😊
I got a really big nine my son is trying to harvest and we get him on the trail camera every night and only twice during the day for the past three months and on opening morning last Saturday he came in at five in the morning when we were sitting in the ground blind and he was so close I could hear him breathing and I could honestly smell him he didn't blow and run off but we haven't seen him since not sure how to hunt this buck
Try to wait for a significant drop in temperature and sit where you see him at. Possibly try a buck decoy also..
@@mattlewis9725 thanks for the info I will give it a try I got a brand new 3D Target I haven't used or open yet 👍
Man Michigan's got a cold front middle of the week to linger to Saturday morning but warm in the evening the question is to sit or no to 🤷
I know I will be, we haven’t had a good cold front this early in a couple years, I would hunt the mornings for sure
I’m going to sit Saturday morning on my property and then hunt public the rest of the weekend👍
Jeff, will brassica and rye come out of a long stretch of drought after it’s germinated and grown a couple inches? I planted three weeks ago right before a rain and it came up great, but no rain since. It all seems to be stunted. Should I overseed all of it if rain is forecasted, or will it jump back to life? I really would rather not go into the plots to spread more seed, but the plots are looking terrible. Or should I just stay off the property entirely until the rut, hoping that the plots will get some rain between now and then. Without the plots, my property is difficult to pin down deer movement.
Never hurts to plant more rye, If I was you just based on your comment I would wait until just before that next rain and plant an additional 50 pounds of rye over your plot and hopefully that helps and then do the same sometime in November and you should have a great plot for the whole hunting season
@@WWOofficial I'll need to overseed the brassica with the rye, which I hate to do, but that's half my plots and they are out of time to grow to maturity. Frost is usually in the next week and freeze about ten days after. Hoping we get some rain out of the remnants of this hurricane.
@@quantumtruthseeker210 brassica is a tough one to get good growth but you can overseed with as much rye as you like, rye will grow in bad conditions, has worked for me in the past when my brassica plots didn’t get a good grow, plant before a rain and the rain will wash any scent away your worried about, you can do whatever you want on your property you just have to be smart about it, you don’t need to lay off until the rut, you just have to hunt smarter
I'm having the same problem. Planted brassica seed right before it was "Supposed" to rain and the rain went around us. So I've had seed planted for 2-3 weeks with no germination.
@@MrMblakec that’s unfortunate, but just layer that sucker with rye and you should get a good growth, if it gets real bad in the next couple weeks put 150 pounds of rye over it and it will grow
100 Huntcast morning, and release at 11:02. Any success?
Hi Kurt...so much to do so little time 😊 I just hunt evenings this time of the year...
@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 I've took that advice to heart! It's been hard especially this morning not to go out but I'm sticking to it!
I got 200 acres that neighbors pressure 360°.
What about food and water hole together?
@Number 1 Western Fan
Mock scrape has turned into a community scrape now heading into food source
@Number 1 Western Fan
I did those steps buddy and they worked amazing for a couple seasons.
I would like a watering hole closer bc most hunters don't have an area like I have with different hunters surrounding on it ,and it's tough to decide.
Thanks
First
Lol
