My dad told me when I was 10 “find the sign, and you’ll find the deer”. My strategy has always been to scout as many acres of woods as possible in September and find areas with the most trails, rubs, scrapes, poop, and hunt in those areas. And it’s worked extremely well. I’ve arrowed 21 buck in 26 seasons, each one over 120”, and I could shoot a doe on at least 80% of my sits. I scout more than I hunt. And it makes for quick and easy seasons
I didn’t realize it, but my style I’ve found works best for me is EXACTLY what Warren does. On an out of state trip my method is exactly the same. Works for me! Warren is a legend!
Wow this guy is great " You just gotta figure it out." And another tip that will really help me this coming year is "You gotta look when you're walking." And he picks certain days he can hunt and hunts a place where the wind isn't blowing toward the area he wants to hunt. Man this guy really is a legend! Oh and don't forget to bring a sandwich for lunch.
This man is a legend. Have been honored to hunt with one in my life. If you can find the funnel that crosses a swamp to get to bedding area, hunt it. Same thing if it crosses to a feeding area. Water and food and girlfriends.
As a Thermal drone pilot I can tell you that 75 percent statement he said is true (at least in mid western NC anyways). It is common for me to fly 100 or 150 acres and find very few deer, then I'll find a small geographic area where there are 20 or 30 very close together.
@BenOgorek I've learned alot since I started the company. I can tell you I think these guys are onto something when it comes to deer using there eyes in regards to bedding more then I previously thought. Again , coming from a big timber little to no feild kind of hunting. I grew up thinking the big bucks were almost always going to choose the thickest nastiest steepest place to bed as to avoid people and intrusion. However, I've found more large mature bucks bedding in open areas they can see out much more then I previously thought. Again, I see both , some in thick places where there is no visibility, but I also see them in very open areas you wouldn't expect them to move during daylight.
Probably one of the most interesting, unique approaches to hunting I've heard in all seriousness. It runs contrary to many others I've heard - both in approach and timing. However, the supposed October "lull", I can see this a highly necessary. Just as one example.
Ya’ll got my subscription from Vermont. Deer are deer & guys who get it are very similar. My old man says there isn’t anything that can replace worn out boots.
I have an area with a trail camera where deer will show up sometimes in the mornings sometimes in the evenings sometimes in the afternoon. And sometimes they do not show up. I wonder why he wouldn't go back and hunt a spot if it was good sign just because they did not show up that evening.
The way I see it, deer spend most of their time in residential backyards during the day and roadsides through the night. LOL. That was a joke, but not really. Years ago I lived in a neighborhood where I could have harvested deer every day from my bedroom window with a crossbow.
So many people spend hundreds of dollars on a specialized, high speed low drag pack (and next year, they buy the higher speed lower drag "better" pack). ...I love that he uses an old ALICE pack.
I'm in agreement with old timer.(cause I am getting clol one myself)but lll be 50 soon .I've been very successful in my hunting career..I waa very eager when I was young.there is no way to explain to another person in words where to hunt..it's a tool you master...I can walk into any part of woods And just know when and where there are deer,by just a feeling.ira not magic though.its just an instinct we hunters have.im sure it's more scientific than I can make it sound..I think anyone can become a good hunter.if they want to be a good hunter just have to be prepared to be single.cause your going to be in the woods alot...lol

I just talked to a white head today ..old man.. I made a big mistake. i let the deer get to close and lord I hit but because my scope was for long-range, I messed up my short range..

That’s awesome man! Is this private or public land?

How about no.

Interesting. Anything else you can tell us?

Is Pisgah as low on deer population as ppl say it is?

💯 change with the season, food and shelter!
I need all the tips I can get. Thank you

Glad to have you on board!

Like ginseng'n certain features in the land show good signs of seng. Same with deer. Take your time. A man can cover alot of ground in 1 day.
Where I’m from in Mississippi it doesn’t start getting good till after January
A lot of Alabama is the same way
that is wisdom right there
I can’t find the video where one of yall wore a T-shirt that showed yall have been on I-65 north of Birmingham lol. Yeah, I had to subscribe
You gotta get bit by a tick or 3 to find the good places deer hide

Hunt northeast Florida
Yee
I hope to be half the man this fella is by the time I'm his age.
Start with what areas to NOT hunt. Charlie Munger called this inversion ==> Understand first what will ruin a whatever you're trying to accomplish.
To summarize: Put the time in and explore a lot.
Scout so much that you know where not to hunt.

90% of the wildlife only use about 10% of the habitat.
I just talked to a white head today ..old man..
I made a big mistake. i let the deer get to close and lord I hit but because my scope was for long-range, I messed up my short range..
Bedding areas… are where it’s at.
