When to Hunt Whitetails In The Morning
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 вер 2017
- While hunting whitetails in the morning hours has produced 75% of my top 25 bucks, the amount of time that I actually hunt during the morning hours accounts for less than 25% of all my sits. Shooting a mature buck in the morning is probably your best bet, but there is certainly an appropriate time and place.
Best interruption ever !
I'm officially addicted to your channel! Am I the only one that opens the app and goes straight to this channel? You sir, are the most informative hunter on video that I have come across in the 17 years I've been hunting. Thanks for the info and keep up the great work!
Brian Leeker dang...well, I greatly appreciate that and that telly means a lot to me. I feel like I am just getting started, lol! Thank you sir...
Most deer hunting pointer videos seem literally like bs, this was not one of those videos and you made a lot of really good points. Thank you
This is great , Jeff your talking and deer and walking by you. Thanks for the videos. Good luck this season.
I always prepare for the all day sit in the stand during the rut. Over the years I have taken bucks at first light, late morning, noon, early and late afternoon. The deer are so unpredictable during the rut. I like to be in the tree at least an hour before sunrise and get all settled then sit in the dark and not make a sound and I will sit there until dark if needed. I just feel like I'm ruining my own hunt if I get out of the stand prematurely just because you never know what it just around the corner and may be heading your way. One example is one time I was getting out my stand around 1pm, I had just lowered my bow to the ground and boom I had deer coming in "and my bow was on the ground"! Ever since then I pack for the all day sit.
I just started following you. I've been hunting "awhile" now.. Can ALWAYS learn something! Love the way you explain things!!
pensnut08 that's awesome to hear...yes, there is a never ending amount of deersearch to complete 😉 Good luck this season!
haha, man that was hilarious when the deer came by, and a great illustration of a good stand setup. I really enjoy your videos and thanks for sharing such great information on deer hunting and land management
I know that was not planned but wow perfect timing. I started following you a few weeks ago excellent presentation, information, video quality, everything you got it right man. And I'm learning that I making quite a few mistakes
Thank you ai really appreciate that Avery! I will try to keep them coming as fast as possible...and thank you very much for the feedback too
I really appreciate all the information I learned from you. Thanks!
That was some heart stopping action. A Big boy could have been with them. WOW, Fantastic coverage!!!
Richard Jones it was a lot of fun! We had a doe and fawn come by about an hour after light...same trail. I really thought we had a chance at a buck following...I had a great view from my angle but man wasn't meant to be. Dylan was shaking...we were both pretty pumped! Love that sound of deer walking thru leaves. Appreciate the feedback!
Can't think of a better way to be interrupted. Great informative video. Good Hunting! Maine North Woods Hunter
It was awesome I completely agree 🙂 Thanks a lot!
I hunt Wisconsin and do like the evening sits alot more during early season and the October lull like you mentioned. But I will sit some mornings to pick off a Doe or 2 early. And with our coyote problem here I seem to arrow more of those in the morning than evening. Love all the informative subjects you cover.. Good luck on this 2018 season..
Thanks for the comments and great points! I like to take a chance on a morning hunt here and there too. I think I will hunt Monday morning depending on the rain. I have a new stand that is near bedding areas, East wind and I have had a lot of morning mature buck movement this time of the season. To me...nothing like a morning sit and even tho it may not be the best this time of year, I do look for the opportunity! Good luck to you too and thanks for the comments!
Very good videos! Keep up the awesome work!
Jonathan B Thanks a lot! I will try to do that, and it's feedback like yours that keeps the fire lit! I will do my best to...
Jeff I've been watching some of your videos and I have to say they are some of the most informative I have found and I really enjoy them. I have never hunted whitetails and this year will be the first. I was very apprehensive but the information you provide has boosted my confidence and I'm chomping at the bit to get out and hunt. In one of your videos you talk about hunting the back end of weather extremes and I wanted to know if your activity prediction strategy will work out west? Thanks for a great channel. Oh,and I did subscribe.
Nv. Wapiti Hunter Dang I love to hear that! I hope that the info pushes you years ahead in your learning curve, and that you have a great season! Have you checked out my website? I have nearly 500 whitetail articles I have written on there, covering nearly any whitetail strategy topic. Hope it all helps a lot!
That interruption was awesome!
Ha, yes it was a lot of fun!
Excellent. Thank you.
You are very welcome!
Good info on early season tactics.
Jon thank you very much...hope that it helps!
Jeff! after watching this video of you in the stand and deer coming all I could think is man I wish this dude would film and post his 2020 deer season hunt on youtube. That would explode your channel
I appreciate that Tyler! We always have hunts within the videos...but under a strategy of some kind. Unfortunately nearly all of the channels that focus too much on hunts are dead or dying. People want more...BUT we definitely will bring you more this Fall. Just so many other priorities...also this channel is already growing at a rate that places it in the top 2 or 3 in the hunting industry so we have to stick partially to what we have been doing. I appreciate the suggestion tho and we will definitely bring you more 👍
I also may add my favorite hunts to a hunting playlist so you can find them more easily. For now tho...this is one of my favorites!

Sept 27th .. my B-Day... happy hunting!!
Loving the action mid interview.
Outdoor Media Company thank you! That definitely made our hearts pound for a few minutes...really did have a chance of a good buck with that group...or at least behind them. Just didn't happen. Pretty cool tho!
That was awesome!
Thanks Joe...it was a pretty cool hunt with those deer coming through!
great video !!! you have good and helpful information !
DUGJigginVA thank you very much! I really appreciate that and I will do my best to keep it coming. Good luck this season!
thanks !!! I subscribed to ya also !!!
DUGJigginVA thanks a lot, I hope that you like all I have to come!
Hittin the woods next day, watched this vid before going to work, so i'll be concentrating on work, right.
Good hunting.
NYCamper62 haha...right! Good luck to you!
In my experience around November 15th 11am to 3PM seems to be when a lot of deer are taken. Maybe Bucks have becaome accustomed to people leaving the woods in late morning and returning around 4pm for night sit. 2+2=4
Where I live ( Western Ohio ) you can't sit nonchalant, and let 6 does go by, those would likely be the only 6 you would see all season
Richard Hicks I hear ya! I actually was very close to trying to shoot one of them, but didn't want to mess up the rut stand for does. This is a high pressure location...but the 50 acres is very low pressure. With good food and improved cover it is amazing how many deer get sucked into a small parcel during the daylight hours. They were probably moving fast because of the neighbor's, lol.
Whitetail Habitat Solutions thanks for the feed back. This part of Ohio is one big city from Cincinnati to Toledo, not so great for deer 😢
Richard Hicks man I can I imagine! I grew up an hour from Detroit and hunted the first 10 years in that area...different state game areas, 10 acre backyard locations. There, getting to find a great spot to hunt meant maybe getting permission to access thru someone's yard to get to public land where others couldn't go.
Whitetail Habitat Solutions Where do you hunt now, ie. state? Thanks for the video.
wisconsin
Must be nice to have that much land awesome place
Talking and most certainly sitting in a tree with no mask on = zero deer here in Michigan. Don’t know what magic spell you are casting, but I want it!
ELN calls ha...I know what you mean, hunted MI from 86-2013. Lived there for 42 years. But, same pressure here. The key is I hunt my stands on average twice per season. That was actually the first sit in this stand, ever. They just don't have a clue and I could get away with a whole lot in MI the same, by hunting my unpressured stands on public and private lands. I all boils down to how pressured your stands are....it really works, even in MI 🙂
@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 This tells me that I need a lot more stands
@@mikekupetsky6879 yep
I'm over here becoming a tree in full camouflage and can't see a deer but you're talking and they just passing through HOW
Mason Hall It helps greatly that I only use my stands 1-3 times each per year...some not at all. The deer just don't have any idea I am hunting the land...at least from seeing me in a tree. Of course I rarely hunt food sources where they linger and look around. Typically just deer passing by. We stayed in the tree another 20 minutes, really thought it was time to get down an had pulled the mask off...
#halon32 Love that bow! Great video! Thanks for sharing the knowledge. Great video!
tnywragge thank you very much...my favorite Mathews hunting bow of all time...and I have shot most since 92. Hope to bring a lot more videos coming soon!
Awesome
mario masic thank you, hope it helps!
Unfortunealey Its October 1st Opening Day for Bow & Crossbow Hunting and I am not in the woods in a couple of weeks hopefully all You Hunters , Jim here MI.
James H hope you can get out soon Jim! I went thru MI opening days from 86 to 2011. Hard to believe! Good luck this season...
That was awesome! How high up is your stand?
Thanks a lot Walter! That stand is about 20' up...
I always sit on stand all day when the other hunters move around to push the deer especially all the massive hunting clubs in southern NJ
Raymond jones we get a little of that in WI and MI too, but I find those oldest bucks stay incredibly tight. I always think if you don't get the old bucks during the first hour of gun season...you probably won't get him until things settle down by the 4th, 5th day or later.
I avoid hunting clubs like the plague...
don't forget about the endless bait piles in South jers...makes for great hunting... ::rolls eyes::
georgied88 I Harvest a lot of deer head to the bait piles during hunting light I try to find the funnels get camera shots at night at least
Raymond jones yea I do well also but public land has turned into bait races, u know, who can put out the most bait... messes up deer movement, I hunt DEEP where other guys don't want to walk so I can avoid the b.s....also so many conflicts/stealing, down here, u know, if u have a bait pile out you practically "own those woods"
What is your take on slightly larger tracts of land? A lot of discussion is done on the 40-50 acre tracts maybe 80 and pressuring the deer. I have 160 acres in the Mid Michigan area and wonder if I can spread the pressure out over the 160 acres. I am the only one hunting this as well. So I would think i could hunt more often but spread it around a bit. Thoughts?
Miranda Place you definitely can get away with a LOT more, if the habitat and hunting design is just a much larger version of what you maybe on a smaller parcel. I have seen some 20 acre parcels that seem a lot larger than some 160s. Hope that makes sense! You want to make your 160 seem like 400, with many layers of habitat change, lengthy food sources and travel corridors, a many bedding are, concentrated to support the movement. Also screening cuttings and plantings for hunter access and to separate the deer herd...
Great, thank you.
September 27.my birthday.good day to hunt.
Lol Happy Birthday 😁 Hope the weather is good!
Hold on let me stop chatting with the camera! Got a bunch of deer walking through! Wish it was that easy for me
What ladder brand is that for your hang on setups?
Sitka Gear Fanatic that is one of the only USA made ladders, with USA steel, in the country: www.familytraditiontreestands.com. They have most likely, the best stands and ladders on the market...quietest, safest, strongest. Rubber coated chains to hold the platform up, T screw and two 800# ratchet straps to hold the stand in place, welded on footrest and a 14x20 huge seat. Not for portable use on public land so much, but highly recommended for hang-on situations on private, where you expect a stand to last for decades of use, not a few years of use. Try Jack at 517-543-3926 and he can let you know where a dealer is located near you...hope that helps!
Awesome Man! I will definitely check these guys out.
I hunt public land. I don't use tree stands because I am afraid of heights.
Just got me a halon 32 👊
how did you not want to take a shot lol I would've been super Ansie
Prakticle J no kidding! Dylan didn't know at the time...but I almost took a shot, lol. Just didn't want to potentially mess it up for future rut hunts...
Whitetail Habitat Solutions do you guys have any vids on tracking the deer after the shot from a to b I really struggle in this area and could use any help I could get
@@prakticlej8677 lost my first deer( 8 Point) last season i found him about 4 days later while squirrel hunting there wasnt even any blood to track. Crushed me
How high is your treestand
Dan Poli good question...it looks a lot higher than it is! Just barely below the top of the 20' Family Tradition ladder.
What camera are you using?
zerograv7111 Mostly a Sony A7SII...at times a Sony A6300...but that A7SII is an incredible low light hog that can film 120fps, 4k, etc. You can literally count points on a buck at 100 yards when the hunter can't even see the deer.
Thanks for the response! Thats actually the camera Im looking to purchase and I noticed how the quality of your videos are amazing so i just wanted to ask what you were using before I made my decision!
zerograv7111 good luck...I can highly recommend that camera!
what king of ladder is that tied to the tree?
2:08 I sit every possible chance I can during deer season and maybe see 5 deer with in range all season you are doing an into and see like 6
99% of the success I've had happened in the morning
Is your camo predator camo?
First Lite... incredible stuff!!
Jeff first of all I don't own land but I have a lease.how do I access your online class? Also what's the web site for first lite camo?
What about the teens and low 20? Lol
1st
Avery Burrone you do win the 1st award! lol
Whitetail Habitat Solutions haha thank ya I just got back from my opening day morning hunt saw some does and a spike and a 6 was a pretty good morning
That's great to hear! Good luck the rest of the season!
Whitetail Habitat Solutions you too love the vids
U wouldn’t kill a thing where I hunt at making noise and moving around all crazy! Them does woulda picked ur ass off 200 yards away and blew at you talking n moving around with white hair and face uncovered , idc what way the winds blowing or how u came in
I have a business idea that I'm looking to launch but lack certain things to make it happen. Would you be interested in its possibilities? I'm just an average Joe with a million dollar idea! It's also in your area of expertise.
John C Hi John! I have some of those myself, just too many ideas and too few hours in the day for my own ideas! Good luck with your endeavor!
Whitetail Habitat Solutions ok I emailed you if you change your mind let me know!
I will check it out John...I think I know what you are talking about, thanks!
Whitetail Habitat Solutions ok Jeff I know this is something that will blow your mind!
Insert “blah blah blah blah blah” is what to do. Then come hunt in difficult conditions and you wouldn’t know what to do to kill a 3 1/2 year old deer much less an older mature deer. Why don’t all you yo-yos start your videos with “I hunt in parts of the country where a five year old could kill a mature buck. As a matter of fact I have a 13 year old that would decimate every buck you have older than 3 1-2 in 10 days. Why? Because he hunts the thickest woods, most pressured deer, and would never think of talking to a freaking camera during a hunt.
