Jeff, I started watching your channel last year when I first started deer hunting. No one in my family ever did, so I was at ground ZERO. I learned so much from you, I was just able to successfully nab my first deer…. An 8 point buck!! You started a whole new family ritual that I’ll pass on to my kids one day. Keep up what you’re doing!!
Jeff, I subscribed to your channel about a year ago and started applying what I have learned and all I can say is WOW... What a difference. I just shot the oldest and biggest buck I have had on camera this morning around 9, about 300 yds. from my food plot back in a bedding area I created. I only have 25 acres, but I only hunt the outside now and built travel corridor's using your method's. Thank you so much for your videos!!!
Started applying the strategies you preach… mainly the “midday sit”. Hunt in AM got botched by heavy machinery… drove 30 min away, got in an old generational stand…. harvested my biggest to date!
I saw the biggest buck on our property last Tuesday at 2pm dogging a doe in Central PA. It was exciting!!! I already filled buck tag so i was just out enjoying the beautiful first cold front of the season
WHEW! What a day yesterday was. Jeff your lessons were spot on I had deer everywhere must have seen 30-32 saw two nice shooters in thick stuff! But saw others just cruising. It was a lot of fun! Didn’t shoot at anything but wasn’t because I didn’t want to. Did find out a big issue you talk about ALOT now I need to further correct. I thought I had defined travel routes and I do I just don’t have them long enough or big enough they need to connect better so I have ALOT of work ahead this year! Only thing huntwise got right was temp, sunrise and sunset lol.
Love watching your videos and applying what im learning from you since no one in my family hunts ive learned over the last 8 years from many mistakes and am still learning, 2 seasons ago got my first nice 8 point!! Started seeing a lot of scrapes over the last week too so I k ow the rut is getting ready to b in full swing here in MI
glad I came across your channel Jeff. Don't have monsters on the properties I hunt, but i know they will be moving great ranges during the rut. These tactics will be top of mind when I'm planning my sits this month!
Hello Jeff. I do a soul test every year and put the fertilizer and lime that is recommended from my local farm store. The plantings don’t do well. I was wondering if I do another soil test this spring and buy your seed, could somebody at your business tell me what type of fertilizer and how much I have to put on? My food plots are all 1/2 Acer. I don’t know how to interpret the soil test. Maybe do a short TH-cam video on how to?
N.W. GA. 11/02/2023 I saw a nice shooter buck hanging with a single doe this morning as if she might come into esturs anytime. I will be hunting in the morning, & every day I can this month. I'll be hunting on my Funnel Stand, & my 2-bedding area stands. I harvested a nice 8-pt. the last week of Sept. His rack was very dark, he was an old creek-bottom-buck, he was a 4 1/2 yr. old. I like ur knowledge of the deer-woods Jim, TY!
Saw some bucks fighting right before first light and made a rub right in front of me yesterday, about another 10 minutes and his lungs would of been popped
They are seeking here in North Central WV. Jumped a pair of does and a young buck and they went across the road. Thought my hunt was over and then a chocolate 8 walked 5 yards from me and kept on moving. Thought he was the big boy in the area until I saw a huge 7 or 8 behind a doe. He pegged me at 15 and ran off. Saw me but didn't smell. Jumped a few more this morning on my way in. I think I'll leave the area alone for a week or so.
In the Black Hills of SD where i hunt, the logging is non-stop! Just when I get to know an area and setup a few stand locations, the forest service comes thru and marks alot of trees to be cut down. 😡. And within a year the loggers tear it up! I have 10 stand location and have to constantly find new spots, because its always something that ruins a really good hunting spot!
I REALLY HOPE U CAN ANSWER THIS FOR ME. Would the Rut Web class help me even if I live in Mississippi? In my area, the rut is in full swing the last week of December to the first week of January. As long as I understand that, will the class pertain or be beneficial for me? I know y'all are up north. I actually lived in MN for 5 years.
I love all the help youve provided ive learned alot and want to continue to learn more living in iowa is a blessing and a curse if you dont hunt right thank you!
On opening day I sit all day...I migrate to only long afternoon sits after. BUT with the MN early opener I hunt like I would the rut. Typically morning bedding and then afternoon food source stands. I may sit all day...but rarely all day in 1 stand. More often than not on openers I sit all day in 1 spot
Jeff, thanks for all you do. I have a question. I have 2 scrape vines that have been hammered for the past 2 years, this year they did not touch them at all, all the deer are just moving past it with out touching it. Any thoughts, thanks.
I'm not trying to be rude at all here, but I'm genuinely confused. Are you mocking him for only getting a nine and saying his system doesn't work for large bucks, or that his system does work and the nine is proof of that? The reason I'm all turned around is the phrase "proof is in the pudding" which means you have to try something to see if it is actually good. Again, I'm not trying to be an ass. The crying smiley makes me wonder, too.
I’m genuinely congratulating him!! The Big Nine is a huge buck he posted on instagram last night 👍 He just absolutely slam dunked his year. Each hunt he called his shot as he went out to stand. He predicted the weather opportunity, he set the stage with plots, and drew them into water holes. It was incredible. “Proof was in the pudding “ was like watching Tiger or Jordan dominate the opportunity. I totally understand how my comment could be misinterpreted. No worries! It was kinda weirdly worded-
@@kurtpearson2793 I get told by the wife I take what I read too literally or see sarcasm where it doesn't exist. Thanks for helping me see reality there.
Hello Jeff hope you good.My question is what's a good wind app you use for hunting and planning hunts?I'm in Louisiana and we have Channel 3 weather app but it doesn't give you accurate wind in my hunting area.
Owner of my best spot this year has been cutting trails for his atv. And the deer are just gone this year. Hopeing late season the deer will move back ounce he stops for the year.
I worked the last 6 days. My cameras were blowing up with all my target bucks. It was painful to see. Wind is shifting from SW to NW. In my stand now hoping for some success!
Congratulations on the big 9 Jeff I have a question last Sunday I was hunting in front of my food plot about an hour and a half after sunrise I had my target buck come in a big 10 I shot just under him and he walked away across the road he didn’t run away or anything just slowly walked off across the road into a corn field you think he will come back or be gone for good
We just had the front come through and my bucks still move strictly at night tempted to go spook them just to see if that makes them move during the day
I’m not sure what to do I’m right in the middle between oak clusters / open ag fields and bedding area I haven’t wanted to hunt right on the edge of bedding figure too much of a chance of spoiling it
Having a tough season... Got one Doe in early October and have hardly seen a deer since... Not even night time pictures on my cams... I've not hunted the same spot twice this year so I don't think it's my fault.... IDK lol. I do know I need meat and I couldn't afford a WV license this year so I better figure something out...
Went into the white tail woods this am and seen one buck a few does but passed then a huge hawk cam and sat right next to me Jeff. She told me my #BDE attracted her to me lmao not kidding man, but this is what is great about hunting and just talking to God too.
I just found this channel about a week ago i gotta say i love it so far. Somethings can be a little confusing mostly because idk the terminology but i watched a video a while back about bucks rubs on trees. I have a buck bout 2 ft long on a tree right next to a field, looks really fresh too. Can i put a stand right next to it? What does that mean if its right next to a field? (Ag field)
Today was the day boys…in central Wisconsin anyway. Saw 8 bucks…biggest 10, smallest 6. 5 doe running. They were like cattle moving through. Shot at an 8 and hit a twig…go figure. See what happens tomorrow.
Deer hunting is not this complicated. Grab your gun or bow and head to the woods, learn woodsmanship, learn by trial and error. We don't need whiteboards or lectures. Enjoy your time outdoors without these weekly assignments.
I can appreciate your comments! Afterall, some folks are overachievers and some folks go thru life underachieving. This channel is for the former. If don't care to do your best, there are lots of other channels that will fit your speed in life 👍😊
Countless comments testify how useful this info is. But you think hunting cannot be studied or improved. No one is asking you to watch or follow this channel. If you don’t find it helpful, move right along

I shot the biggest buck of my life this morning at 9:30!
I saw a piebald spike this morning bowhunting. Cruised thru at 20 yards. I felt so lucky getting to see it
I saw the biggest buck on our property last Tuesday at 2pm dogging a doe in Central PA. It was exciting!!! I already filled buck tag so i was just out enjoying the beautiful first cold front of the season

In Northeastern PA. In the woods right now sitting all day!!!
Nice...good luck Lucas!
Saw the big 8 show up in camera yesterday at waterhole #2! Going in tomorrow to that stand to hunt him going to get in 30 minutes before daylight
Saw some bucks fighting right before first light and made a rub right in front of me yesterday, about another 10 minutes and his lungs would of been popped
Good morning, Jeff from Livingston County Michigan!!
Good morning, have a great hunt!
New sub here love the channel so far. 30+ years of experience I learned from but you offer so much knowledge I don’t already know
November !!! Woo Hoooo 🦌🤸🦌👍

Jeff I got a question. If I got like 30 acres of wood and surrounded by crops. Should I plant switchgrass around the edge?
That helps greatly! Deer feel comfortable then, right behind the switch instead of 50 to 100 yards in or more depending on how thick the habitat is
In the Black Hills of SD where i hunt, the logging is non-stop! Just when I get to know an area and setup a few stand locations, the forest service comes thru and marks alot of trees to be cut down. 😡. And within a year the loggers tear it up! I have 10 stand location and have to constantly find new spots, because its always something that ruins a really good hunting spot!
Hey Jeff I'm pretty new to hunting and I have several big bucks that come in 15-30 minutes after dark what can I do to make them daylight?
Logging sites are the best there is in NC. When those machines shutdown for the day the biggest bucks come to see what changed.
Congratulations... You're having a banner season !
I REALLY HOPE U CAN ANSWER THIS FOR ME.

YOU DA MAN JEFF! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Man I really really like these new video series you are putting out! Keep up the great work brother!! God bless!
What is everyone’s thoughts on mid day sits during rifle season?
Heck yes
On opening day I sit all day...I migrate to only long afternoon sits after. BUT with the MN early opener I hunt like I would the rut. Typically morning bedding and then afternoon food source stands. I may sit all day...but rarely all day in 1 stand. More often than not on openers I sit all day in 1 spot

He’ll come back, he didn’t see hear or smell you and he didn’t get severely spooked
@@bavingrouwer5139 yeah he never seen me or smelled me after I shot he just slowly walked off eating but just walking
Jeff, What do you do when huntcast indicates terrible conditions during the rut period?
I still hunt...just maybe not my best spots👍
We just had the front come through and my bucks still move strictly at night tempted to go spook them just to see if that makes them move during the day
I wouldn't! Always remember they are moving during the night...because they aren't there during the day 😉

Good luck Connor!
So throw some bait out… got it.

Yep 😁
