Almost Jeff, you almost got me in trouble. My wife is sitting on her laptop next to me and just snapped, "Is he comparing women to wild animals?" I was like "ummmm" (I knew by the tone, I must tread carefully). She said, "Well, he is mostly right. That can happen" I breathed a sigh of relief. Then I busted out the joke, "How many men does it take to open a bottle of beer?" None, because it should be open when she brings it to you. LOL She's a good sport, we pick on each other all the time. Rock on Man.
Hey Jeff, I’m so appreciative of all the information that you provide and it has helped me learn so much! I’m looking forward to getting back out into the woods soon still having a buck tag. I was wandering with all the experiences you have, if you would consider doing a video that addresses only hunting parcels that are permission properties? Some of the tips and tricks to have success on the land that you don’t own and don’t have free reign to do whatever you want to the land and the kinds of improvements and management to use on these permission properties to attract and keep more deer there. Thanks for all the info!!
I was very skeptical about a 2nd rut until one season, last day for archery in MN, I saw a buck trailing a doe not far behind as she was bleating…I then became a believer.
A friend of mine said his trail cameras had the best activity over the years from around December 3rd through the 7th in my area here in Michigan. Going to focus my hunts around that time weather permitting
Jim it is such and incredible time 👍 Good luck, I can't wait!!
Are you in the U.P.?
My next day to hit my stand is going to be the 5th I think, south east Michigan. I have hit a lot of state land this year and learned the lay of where I want to setup next season but this season I have one stand only and I have seen 4 buck in it but haven't had any clear shots so I let it rest for a few weeks now plus work has been kicking my rump. Good thing is my stand is on my works property so when I get back from work if it's an early day I can get on stand pretty quickly and quietly
@@ML-ks2lj Sounds about when I should expect to be on stand too. Good luck.
I wonder how many of those trail cam pics were taken during daylight hours...
Your information is great. I do try to relate it to my east Texas hunts. Thank you.
My buddy and I have been documenting all our hunts on 600 acres in upstate NY since 2014 and I have to say that you are spot on with your observations. Shot my bucks Nov 14th and Dec 3rd last year. Seems we always have a new buck show up for late rut. Not so much the first. Thank you for posting all this. It has really helped us put some pieces together.
Good information in a short amount of time. I still haven't punched my Archery 🏹 tags in West Virginia, but I did get a nice 8 point buck 🦌 the first day of rifle.
I still want to be able to take my first deer 🦌 ever with my bow regardless of gender. 🙏🏹🦌
Morning Jeff! Going to try and buy some more hunting land next year preferably 40 acres + so I’ll have my Mom and Dads 40 acres plus whatever we buy! Definitely want a pice that has diversity and is somewhat ready to go!
That sounds perfect Drew...sounds like a GREAT plan 😊
I've watched your videos for a couple years now. I got my fist lease this year. Killed my biggest buck ever this week. He also had a droptine. He was with a hot doe. Thanks for you videos
Thank you for all the great info throughout the year. I was successful in harvesting a nice 3.5 yr old buck in PA yesterday during gun opener alittle upset I couldn't make it happen during archery season but none the less I used some of your strategies throughout the year and seen deer everytime I went out
Jeff i literally get pumped up watching your videos brother lol i have such a passion for being in the woods hunting whitetail and your knowledge and info always get my wheels spinning to try new and different strategies to help my success. Thanks for sharing your knowledge 👌
Here in NC were in our second phase. I had a 6 year old come in early last night following doe down a pond dam. He probably go in the late 130 low 140. Just good old mature buck. I owe you a thanks brother your Videos keep me grounded and on track.
Good to hear as I’ll have my first Oporto hunt 12/2-4 on a permit only game-land in the Piedmont region. I hope it can stay hot until then. I’ll be still hunting the first day which will serve as a scouting day as well since I wasn’t able to earlier in the year. Can’t wait to get out there!
Jeff, I'll be out hunting the 2nd rut here in New Jersey with great anticipation!
With very pressuring Mennonite neighbors on two sides. My favorite time is right now. Southern MO. History and Cams show our second rut pick up around Dec. 8th. Unpressured food, and sanctuary type cover.
Jeff, this year has been a dud, for me. I was unable to do anything to my property, and I had the deer coming earlier looking, because it's been there for the past 8 yrs. But, when not finding it, they abandoned my property! It's amazing how much of a difference it makes doing your management property updates, every year do. I can only hope for maybe a late season big un !! Back at it, after 1st of year. Thanks Jeff
Sitting in blind now waiting on rut. But everything happening at night. Ugh! Yep in south 🤣
I'm doing the exact same thing in the U.P of Michigan right now man I feel you lol
Great information Jeff, your the only guy I know who mentioned that does could go into heat a third or fourth time . I didn’t know that, that’s why I watch your channel and plan on doing one of your classes early next year.
They were moving this morning pretty good no rut activity other than a small buck searching
Up here in Pa had a big 8 point chasing does 1st day of rifle and couldn't get a shot because there were so many trees he kept getting behind but I did get to see him mate a doe which was cool.
Watching eating buck chili, taged out in Tennessee!! Another great year!!
Thanks for all your videos, I’ve been watching them religiously these last few weeks. I just got access to a permission property that after a short scout the other day looks amazingly promising. Hoping in the next few weeks to put a nice mature buck on the ground with my Hoyt for the first time.
I’ve been hunting for 20 plus years the second rut is mostly a myth here in WV-trickle rut maybe very random
great info Jeff. here in the ozark of south east Missouri on the farm its been really hard to even see a deer during gun season . I had lots of mature bucks up until the dog runners an neighbors started logging 5 days before season opener an continued til after the season was over now the deer are starting to come back out of hiding just starting to get them on cameras but still not in the day time hope that the come out soon . our second rut should start the end of the first week of Dec. then the third rut is ussally the 4 of jan.
Thank you and man...the 2nd rut might be perfect for you! Things really settle down for you then. More like the 10th thru the 15th. Good luck!!
Being a SE MN guy myself, I’m struggling to design my brother’s Montana acres. Same concepts may apply, but it’s crazy how tall grass and a low diverse drainage are THICK cover, bedding and browse! The high desert mountain grass and sages are a different nut to crack. Already food is helping, next is low screening-
Very different down here in South Georgia.
Hey Jeff really enjoying watching your videos this is my first year hunting I'm actually hunting some state land out in Holly Michigan I heard you talk about hunting there just been going down the line watching all your videos haven't had a chance to try it out yet but I feel like I've learned a lot thanks
Thanks Jeff,
Lurker here who never misses a video. Me and my wife were finally able to purchase a parcel this year. Only 14 acres but we are happy to have it. I do have to admit though trying to make decisions on where food plots need to go etc. is a challenge!! Hopefully if I watch enough of your videos I can put the pieces of the puzzle together!!!
It is all dependent upon where you are and what is native to the area. I'm working on building up my plot as well, and implementing his tactics and advice.
Good old high pressure north west Pennsylvania!
@@danielshoenfelt8578 you got some nice ones up there! I'm in SE NC, and it is tricky trying to hunt a rut or the weather. It changes so much here, you can't plan around it. I saw a nice 8 point on my cam at 5 a.m. this morning, and a cow horn 12" T by 8"W about 5:30. I'm side planting some aspen and box elderwood on the edges of my field for cover and browse. And doing "throw and grow" (alfalfa, clover, sweet grass) for the field with corn/soybeans in it. I have a seriously nosey and jealous neighbor who tries to ruin it every day for me becauseI won't let him hunt the bedding area behind my field. So road blockage and cover is a main priority for me this spring!! SMH
@@danielshoenfelt8578 maybe try some buckwheat or switchgrass for moving cover, hedgerows, clear-cut behind them, hinge cut some smaller browse trees or side plant them like I am. I don't like cutting the trees if it's not absolutely necessary. I got blessed when I bought this place with my age field backing up to a creek, and a power line right of way running straight through it. And I'm in the middle of farm land, so pressure isn't a huge problem, just a problematic neighbor... LOL
Oh I here ya there this property has some housing above and below with ag field on the left and right. 70% open hardwood which will be changing soon. Have a friend coming in to do a select conversation cut and leave the tops where they fall. The logging road will run parallel with the south property line so was considering planting the actual road with rye grass after there out
Over the years I have seen a lot of activity on the 10th of December here.Yesterday was very cold and windy here.Today??2 inches of fresh snow.And hearing a lot of shots.But doe season is open too🤔
That first week to 10 days should be perfect!
Greetings from Saskatchewan Canada!! 😁 I can definitely attest to the fun of “2nd rut” around the 3rd week of November up here. In my little blind, just got there and 10 minutes later, saw a doe followed by three 3-year old bucks, one after another. Poor girl. Saw her come back an hour later and she was just panting.
3rd week of nov is still the first rut
Haven't had a good buck on cam almost all year then out of no where last night a giant Michigan 11 point showed up on a scrape, followed by 2 really nice 8 pointers.
Git im Good Luck Bud
Thanks Jeff as always great videos great tips
Mr Sturgis. I know you hunt PA for years. I would love a video on late season food sources in big woods. It’s easy to see what they’re browsing in the fall. I can’t seem to figure it out in the woods. Thnks
They feet on water leave or it is called shawnee salad very heavy here on the south/east sides of ridges here in Va
just an FYI from the field. I hunt southern Chester county in PA. Yesterday (11/30) the landowner where I hunt sends me pics of a pretty beefy 6-point hounding a doe through his neighbor's yard. He's not the most mature buck in the woods but he's probably a 4 1/2 which isn't bad for this area. I was scheduled to hunt the afternoon behind his house already. I pull into his neighborhood and see 6-7 doe with a 6-point right behind them...maybe a smallish 3 1/2 year old. I could tell he wasn't just with them; he was with them with intent. I end up shooting a mid-bodied 6-point coming in to feed on my corn pile shortly before dark. Not sure if this is the tail end of the primary rut or part of the secondary rut but whichever it is some bucks are still perusing some does.
Great tips.
I'm in NC and I set on the couch for my hole vacation because it jumped to almost 70 for Thanksgiving.. WTH lol
I'm gonna try 2nd rut this yr hope it produces all our big boys werent shot so never know
Around November 15th the deer literally disappeared on my cell cam here in kingston Ontario area.. Now it's starting to pick up again but mostly at night. Hopefully they start coming in daylight again.
Looking forward to this in northern Wv. Mainly b/c I havent gotten a deer yet..
I think the "missed doe" number is variable based on your adult doe/buck ratio. Higher doe numbers means more possibly missed. Otherwise the second rut is largely fawns capable of breeding. In poor habitat there won't be many of those either.
Jeff thanks for always providing real information. Here in NH i have many doe groups using my land but mostly only immature bucks coming to follow. The matures seem to only pass thru at night right now. And i never caught mature bucks chasing. Could it be there doing it all deep in cover to not be seen?
Thanks Jeff!
WV muzzleloader is second week of December. It always seems like that’s when the big boys are more visible during the day, during the second rut. It’s like they let to young bucks drive themselves crazy and exhausted during the first rut, and have the easy pickings in December. The biggest and oldest bucks I’ve taken over the years have been during the second rut, almost exclusively mid-day. Does that seem to be the norm, Jeff? Just my experiences in mid December.
Opening day in eastern w.v. 230 out in the sun on acorns eight point and a four took the eight . Nov 22. Many shots that morning within several hundred yards .
I hunt Morgan and Mineral County. Not a lot of shots where I was on opening day. The wind was wicked but I wasn’t missing out on opening day. The day after thanksgiving was a good day with a lot more shots than opening day.
@@RS-ms1bz I hunt Berkeley and Morgan County. You ever hunt Sleepy Creek?
Your hunt cast map has a way different wind depiction than mine does. I have the elite version too.
I hope the second rut is better than the first but it's going to be hard to beat this year in Central kentucky. The first rut was phenomenal there were bucks running everywhere on my farm.
Which may or may not be good because I have very few does on my property so the bucks are constantly moving which means they don't always stay on my 300 acres.
My property joins a really large Creek there's a drop off from the upper part of the pasture , it's a long steep decline down to a wide flat floodplain of pasture.
The woods between the wood have been logged over multiple times in the last 20 years lots of thick briars high stem count some patches of cedar and some hardwoods but mostly just thick.
There are logging roads that stair step from the upper part down to the bottom ie: multiple shelves
The logging roads are the path of least resistance and where the majority of the buck sign seem to be.
So I'm hoping the bucks will be running those logging roads again I passed on several good 130" 140" bucks this year getting a couple really good bucks is the 150" on camera still.
The rifle season ends today here and it's archery from now till mid-January with a brief muzzleloader season in mid December.
Sorry for the long winded comment.
That sounds exciting Curt!! I bet you will really enjoy the late season. Such a rewarding and peaceful time to see one of those big ones 👍
@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751
I love the late season, the early season in September when they're still bachelored up is great time to hunt but I'm not a big fan of the 90-plus degree heat. LoL
Grew up hunting in northern Michigan and I love hunting in the cold.
In low tn we are in pre rut
Hello Jeff! I’ve been watching your videos all year, I love them! I moved to the southern coast of South Carolina which is a major change from the mountains of West Virginia. I found a public bow hunting area just 10 minutes from the island I live on now that is a little over 1,000 acres with very few people actually hunting it! When giving explanations with dates and ranges could you include much warmer climates? It would be extremely helpful!!
You are one of the few that can harvest a rifle kill velvet buck about August 15th. Some great huntinfishin opps there buddy . I live central NC but hunt in upper SC also . Lotta saltwater action . Love that lowcountry but it sho is different. You can learn to love it easy .
Well done
Hi Jeff love your channel can you mention Maine and how the rut and 2nd rut works? Thank you sir
So you’re thinking November 15th was 2nd rut for Missouri?
Wi dnr have done a good job at nearly eliminating the doe. When I started hunting you couldn't shoot one, or had to pay extra for a doe tag and win a drawing. Now a doe tag is free and one can buy countless more cheaply.
I appreciate all the great information you put out in these videos. I'm learning more and more every day and every video I have a question about the first/pre rut km in central Texas and I've always been told to first or pre rut is more dependent on weather 🤔 doesn't really make sense to me but I'm still learning. I just set and watch for the younger bucks to be tracking more is there a general time line through these rut periods and what's the difference between say Southern, Northern Exc. ? Just trying to be more efficient with my hunting and managing Thanks
Jeff do you think on the east shoreline of Wisconsin Kewaunee county and U.P. the second rut should accrue Dec 3 through the 12th? Taking last vacation to try filling my buck tags in both areas.
Awesome content as usual! I'm struggling this year as of today. Went out this morning and someone stole my stands and climbing sticks. Took all my cameras except 1 and that one didn't have any pics of the thief. Smashed my ground blind. I'm just going to hunt on the ground I guess, really sucks
What state ,Sir ? Sorry dang thieves.
Unfortunately mid Michigan. I love hunting my home state and have had great success! But this yr has been tough, and now adding the loss of my stands and other equipment. Ppl don't really understand that not every hunter is hunting for themselves, they could be tagging out for a family that needs meat for the winter with the costs going up in the store, or donating to the hunters for the hungry. I honestly feel if the person came to me and said "hey I'm going to steal your stuff cause I need money" I would have just paid them to help. It's frustrating
@@jeremiahsweeton Well is this public land, if so I'd think more anti-hunters if they smashed your ground blind but some hunters do see certain areas of public as "their" land. Had one guy have the nerve to tell me I could not hunt a certain area of public because he hunts there every year so has precedence to hunt it.
I've had a bunch of cameras stolen this year as well and thankfully here in southern Wisconsin we can not leave our stands out over night on public land so have not had one of those stolen yet. Even saw someone that had a cell phone camera up for the past 2 years that I always walked past and this year someone broke the cable off of it and stole it.
Next year I'm putting up cameras watching my cameras. Going to install my lower ones like I usually do and then several yards away going to install higher ones 10-20 feet up watching the other camera. Going to get these bastards hopefully at least busted for receiving stolen property as I'm not sure if it could go to theft charges as it is on public land.
Starting to get discouraged..been passing on so so average bucks all season.
But that's a good thing cause most of my nice bucks were shot between 11 and 4 o'clock late season. Seems when all deer activity stops and they all seem to disappear
"underground tunnels "? Are where they're hiding. Lol. No really out in the biggest corn fields laying down seems to be where you'll find them.
I've crawled into muzzle loader range many times in the wide open Indiana corn fields after spotting them way out where no one has been hunting all season long. My father in law inlightened me of this year's ago and I started glassing as if I was out west somewhere (during midday)
Once you have pressure in all the woods they know where people don't go,they seem to kick back out where they can't be approached facing downwind.
My longest belly crawl took 3hours just to get couple hundred yards closer. Be patient, stay low and slow.
U never see any rut action here till Dec
i’m in delaware and from the 11-18th of december it’s doe only across the board. they couldn’t have picked a worse time. 🤦🏻♂️
How can hunters apply these ideas further south? I’m in SW Georgia.
Do you have tips for hunting Oakland county Addison oaks that you hunted?
Wondering what your thoughts are on deer “yards”. Every year many white tails seem to congregate on certain properties with ideal winter cover and feed. Our family owns 500+ acres and it’s widely known that at the end of December our mountain is covered in deer. Mainly because deer season ends or lots of snow whichever comes first. Is this a phenomenon elsewhere. I know relatively little about winter deer habits. I’d be interested in your thoughts. Great video series this year I’ve enjoyed every one. Thanks 👍👍😎
Been seriously appreciating this content more and more recently ... so I have a question for what I’ll be doing this summer. How many mock scrapes would you install on a 250-300 acre farm that’s mostly field/crop based and just has some areas of thicker woods..? I’d say 3/4 ratio of field to woods
Jeff question for you....
I have a special permit city hunt coming up this weekend. There is zero pressure on these deer other than us few bow hunters with special permits. This hunt should fall in this second rut window. Weather looks good. My question is this...
Do you recommend all day sits during this phase?
Did you forget Ohio is between Indiana and Pennsylvania?
Don't forget to hunt pa Jeff.
As always great content!!! In central MI mostly West or South West winds so if I set my property up I should mainly be hunting North and East stands correct?
In the blind again right now, I only have the rest of this hunt and tonight's hunt to get a buck. Is there anything I can do right now to cause some movement? There are mostly nocturnal deer on this 15 acre parcell and a new snow is falling right now. Thanks Mr Jeff love what you do
Christopher good luck!! Some rattling antlers right now late morning wouldn't be bad at all, in particular of your downwind is covered. Then a nice, peaceful sit in the snow this afternoon would be perfect. Not a lot you can do except sit and enjoy 😊
Move to food for your afternoon sit especially with that snow they'll be up on their feet might be right at dark but that snow will get them up and moving
@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 Thanks Mr Jeff, no luck in Michigan this year, nobody at camp got anything either, must be the wolves I guess. I'm headed back home to North Carolina on the east coast and hopefully those hunts will be more successful. Thanks for your help!
@Nooneinparticular987 well you definitely know what your talking about so I'm not gonna dispute anything your saying other than the wolves thing, I mean I understand what you mean, I can understand some brokenhearted hunter blaming it on shit like that, but the club I hunt with is a family owned one and I've been there all 15 years of my life. We just seem to find more and more corpses just mauled. I mean I remember when I was like 8 or 9 going up there and seeing some nice bucks, like to the point where passing up a 4 was common. But now seeing anything with antlers is great. Nobody in my entire camp got anything this year, which has never happened. I even got a tag that allows for 2 bucks with no antler restrictions, but no luck. Just hope it'll turn around somehow, because up there seems like the last free place in the lower 48 lol.
Hey jeff....i have a question
If i find one BIG deer bed on top of a ridge along with a faint trail that runs 500 yards
Straight down the middle of the ridge before ending in a nasty mountain laurel thicket,
Do you think that would be a dynamite place to catch a big mature buck moving during daylight ????....BEDDING AREA ?????
Hi Jeff
I hear you often comment on guys who take off a week for rutober.... Alot of people cannot take time off when ever they want during the week. Sorry you never could. Jeeefff ! Come on now LOL If you had one week off to hunt. What week would it be ? I live near the Mason Dixon line.I do well during the first and second week in Rutvember.
Strait forward honest information.
Thank you Bradley I hope that it helps!!
@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 I’ve learned so much about hunting this season. The valuable knowledge and information being shared on this channel is absolutely phenomenal. Especially for the younger, less experienced hunters like myself. I’ve noticed something new just about every single day I’ve hunted this season. I noticed that I’m getting better. Im more methodical about what I doing. Honestly, a big part of that is all thanks to you guys and your passionate professionalism in the way you instruct and share past experiences with us. I appreciate it, from the bottom of my heart. I respect what you’re doing and promote how your doing it. Hunting is a passion of mine, not to mention a great pastime. It alway has, always will be. That being said, this channel is more interesting and informative then any big wig show on the outdoor channel. No offense to those guys. They work hard. Whitetail Habit Solutions works smart. #WorkSmarterNotHarder
Hello Jeff, are you still using the Genesis drill? Curious how that has held up, thank you Sir.
Mike
Anyone know in southeastern pa when this second rut would be ? Much appreciated.. missing bow season already 😢
It should be in about a week/10 days...but keep an eye on your scrapes opening up to let you know for sure!
Good morning, Jeff. Out in some urban ground in Indianapolis. Are there any tips or tricks you have for hunting between subdivision?
When best time to hunt second rut in Central Illinois???
Herein Casscity area when’s the second rut??25days after the first rut dec 7 muzzleloader opener is on the third this year so I hope I get a giant I’ll hunt that hard for a 7 days straight. I’ve been grinding so hard so frickn many people that Thiers no mature deer I’ve seen deer but nothing worth killn I’m headed to the buck brush the underworld of deer 🦌.
Been noticing that alot of the Bucks this years hunting season have broken tines, and talking we friends and family there seeing the same thing in there area's threw out northern and Central WI, More then any year that I can remember.
Your thoughts?
Good buck to doe ratio
Hey man. I am 26 yrs old I have never killed a mature buck just a few young ones an some doe. I have been hunting since I was 16 from alabama. This season I been doin alot of buck research watching your videos. I don't have good managed private land I hunt public land it's all heavy pressured of course. Today I seen a big buck I believe he looked to be a 4 yr old I should have waited but I rushed an missed my shot. Could you make a video on hunting deer you have missed before? I don't believe he ever new where the shot came from. If anyone see this an won't to give me some intell it would be greatly appreciated. I would love to harvest this buck of a lifetime for alabama.
Hey Jeff, thanks for the constant flow of information. A question that I have is that I noticed your vidoes are very focused on certain states. I live and hunt in the midlands of South Carolina. Is there anything that would change based on my hunting location or any special considerations I should be looking for? Thank again
I've been watching his videos. I live in aiken county south carolina. I hunt my backyard on ten acres. I think everything he has on here is very informative even for us. The rut there is at a different time. It's over here I believe. I shot a smoker October 23. A 200lb 125 class 8 point. I think if you want a good chance at a good buck oct-nov is a good chance for them.
So if as you have said, peak rut is around the 13th of November, should we start our 28 to 30 day count from the week befor peak rut? Something like the 4th of December we should expect the secondary rut to occur?
Hey Jeff my buck has just shown back up on my land after a couple of weeks and daylighted 2 days in a row on 2 different plots in the morning I only have one stand for this wind today and he hasn’t shown up on this spot yet. Do you think any type of calling will bring him to this spot tonight or should I just sit and be quiet.
Hey Jeff, what would central- northern New Jersey be considered?
Hi Patrick! I would say right around the 10th to mid Dec...good luck and enjoy 😊
@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 thanks for the info, what would you say about the primary rut?
Jeff when does the 2nd rut take place in middle Tn? Thanks
Would you charge me if I were to just call you and ask afew questions about my property on how to make it better
Whats your guess on when the first and second rut happens in Dodge County Wisconsin?
Every year during the whitetail season once we get a few inches of snow on the ground, I'll come across a deer track that has spot along it with a small amount of blood in it about the size of maybe a soda can. No bloody spots before or after it. Any idea what that is from?
Does the main rut in new jersey end the same time in pa and new york
It would end slightly later...but not much! You should be hitting the 2nd rut within the next week to 10 days...
@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 thank you jeff just was wondering and thanks to your help on UA-cam and the huntwise app I got my first buck in the first week of November and it was a 10 pointer with the bow
Anyone have land they wanna lease yearly
in Michigan or Indiana for at least 4 hunters ???
any deer that make it past rut bow and gun season gets to live until next year so they are better age class!
Morning or evening?
Does anyone know when the second rut happens in western MD?
Hey Jeff, I hunt an urban section of hardwoods that is around 30 acres, across the road there is another section of woods that is around 40 acres. That 40 acres just got bought and is now being developed, what do you predict will happen to the dear herd? Is this good or bad news for me?
I live on ten acres and that's what i hunt. Creek separates my property they cleared over 200 acres across the creek. I don't think it effected it in a bad way at all. Maybe even helped the numbers alittle. I've hunted five times this year shot a doe the first day to put meat in the freezer. Let two smaller bucks walk and about 10 does. 4th time I went this year shot a 200lb 125 class 8 point old buck. Which in my area in south carolina is a monster. I don't hunt much at all even know it's in my backyard. I try to make my hunts on the best days to not over hunt my small property.
There is NO 2nd Rut!
Second rut 🤦🏽♂️
Maine winters kill deer
I'm sorry but numerous studies to date have shown zero evidence of menstruation synchronize in women, it just doesn't happen. This is a case of a phenomenon of which I know you are very familiar, confirmation bias. The amount of cycle overlap that is bound to occur with a 3-5 day menstrual period every 28 days is what leads to such beliefs. The fact is that menstrual cycles will separate at the same rate they met in time, but these periods of time are often ignored by people that believe in synchronization.
House full of women , all in sync.
No wonder bucks are solitary.
How dare you assume that only women have that time of the month!! Where the hell have you been for the last year, follow the science man. 🤣 🤣 🤣........sorry couldn't help it
Hi Jeff I live in mid Michigan and if it's you for the second rut when you think is going to hit the morning stands again. Is nov 26th and i been in the morning but i haven't seen much activity 😑 and once again thanks for your advice and videos they really helpful🙏
I am in central MN Muzzeloader started this weekend I have nice plot of brassica and winter wheat been dead i havent see nothing not even on trail cam
I never here nothing about Tennessee we are a big buck state for sure our hunters are very secretive here so we don't get the recognition we deserve for our deer.
Hey Jeff, I hunt an urban section of hardwoods that is around 30 acres, across the road there is another section of woods that is around 40 acres. That 40 acres just got bought and is now being developed, what do you predict will happen to the dear herd? Is this good or bad news for me?
I know you didn't ask me, but seems to me it could be a good thing. Might just need to be extra careful staying out of your 30 acres until the right times. Keep it as much of an untouched sanctuary as you can. My two cents anyways.... 🤷
