    Been around old-timers like this my whole life. Everything you say is wrong, or half-right at best, and everything they say is made up on the fly... and always right. I like the "you're thinking too fast, slow down... followed by the "it's getting dark on us, let's speed this up." just a few minutes later. 🤣 Love it... great teaching moments, for sure... great video man, keep em' coming!

    Love the description of determining the difference between varmint vs deer trails. I always struggled with that earlier in my outdoors journey until I started really off-season scouting and marching entire trails. And once the trail leads to a coyote den, you'll start realizing things lol

    Experienced explanations like this are absolutely priceless. It’s unbelievably difficult to make up time in the deer woods, but learning from a master like this gentleman is a huge step towards success. Growing up with experienced “successful” whitetail mentors used to be the only way to gain woodsmanship and hunter knowledge. These folks and their shared bag of tricks is the tax new hunters must pay if they want to reduce the learning curve exponentially. I had many Whitetail mentors, some were generous enough to open up about their hard earned secrets, but this is the first I’ve heard of someone dissecting ground with such methodical scientific techniques.
    Thank you for sharing this, even though it’s basically an advertisement, because it’s valuable nonetheless. I will be reading the book; no doubt.

That’s why I always listened to my dad grandpa and uncles even as a small boy. This stuff could be learned by yourself I guess but it has probably been passed down to that d timer and we all know by some of his videos he has killed tanks.

    Yes, age and wisdom! I am 53 and to me it's sad that many, probably most hunters today are not true, wise hunters. Hunters today where I live in GA. would be lost without their bait and 24 hour surveillance cell cameras. It's legal but no reason to brag or show of what you got when it most likely would NOT have happened without all the technology. I still don't bait and I still get mature bucks, I refuse to take the easy way out like most people do. If I get a nice buck it's not because of bait and technology! It's just so sad to see what hunting or so-called hunting has become. I enjoy watching people that actually know their stuff!!!

    Notice deer and turkey travel the same routes a lot. You will find that they travel the top edge of ravines on the downhill side. They can look over the top at a great distance, with the least amount of body showing from above. They can look down in the ravine and also see the other side of the ravine. Escape in either direction is quick and out of sight.

      2. This guy hunts in relatively low pressured areas and states. He would struggle to kill big deer using this method in the open timber with a state like Michigan or Pennsylvania.
