Bought my house in 2015. Came with 13 acres, not much for land to hunt. Though, what I didn't know was that it is exactly where ALL the deer funnel through. Every buck ever that has passed through has passed right there. It's at the bottom of a hill of newer growth (25-50 years) then there is swamp, then the other side of the hill opens to old forrest growth. Basically it's a funnel.
@@covid_500kennels3 28k?!?!?! im jealous!! awesome buy. A friend of mine lives next to a reserve thats 100+ acres, and giant bucks come up to your car and you can hand feed them, and they let him collect sheds in spring, and if they cross onto his property during hunting season buh-bye!
This is going to be another one of those greatest episodes. I've listened and watched this episode numerous times thinking about all the different encounters and trail cam pics. I've got my calendar set and ready to really dive into this. Ive had success with it unknowingly before a few times. Thats why I listen to every episode and try to relate it somehow.
I have a couple of 'generational' rubs on big hemlock trees that have produced bucks for me on the trail they are on. Every year they rub that same tree, for years.
Loved this episode and I've started making a new calendar for a better visual! Would love dor y'all to go into detail about historical trail camera data from early season, say early to mid October and is there a way to "estimate" buck movement like Daniel does for the rut.
I like this info! I could see how this would be difficult on public land, but thats not what I hunt. Im going to implement this and see what happens. This is a very simplified way of explaining what a lot of us partially do, but I dont feel like we have all taken that final step. Appreciate the info guys, keep up the good work!
Found a rub area about 1/2 acre just full of them in 1980's. Not tiny trees either. Tore up 2-3 feet off the ground and al the way around. Deep gouges in the wood. Several big bucks taken off the property. I've never gotten within 20 yards of that area since. Funny that it isn't far off a private road. You can see some of the rubs from the road once the leaves are gone. I can't figure out what it is about this area.
6.29 There would be the one consideration, of a more lasting pressure, something that significantly alters the 'big picture' like you said, there were conditions that led to the massive buck selecting that territory, and if the majority of those conditions remain, then you can reasonably expect for massive bucks to find the area appealing in the future. but when the criteria, the conditions, dramatically change, the result might be that deer stop using an area for years or decades. It may not be common, and it may require some pretty serious alterations, which hopefully we would recognize. but perhaps then the only further comment would be if you find that super rub , if you spot a massive buck in a region, others will come there in future, "so long as deer are still able to use the area"
when you leave 5 cams out on public hunting land, how do you change the batteries? solar charger, or walk in and change them? Awesome video!! Learned a lot! THANKS
Well now Daniel You can count on being under surveillance Yourself after disclosing Your hunting strategies. Except lots of company now where You hunt. IMO I would have NEVER told everyone my plans for success. Good luck. 🦌😁
Laughing out load. Why? Follow the rubs until they make a loop? Haha. I can walk into any woods and walk a circle, and I will find a rub. So, I guess in your mind, that would constitute a loop you're going to hunt. That is funny. That's hilarious. A better option is to study the layout of the land and know the behavior of the deer in that area according to age and sex. Then hunt accordingly in relationship to the age and sex of the deer. Preferable stand locations: edge cover, transitions, funnels, food, wind, etc. in accordance with deer behavior. Just remember that there are stupid deer, just like there are stupid people.
Sorry but this is BS. Dude probably hunts very private land and deer have no pressure whatsoever from people. Not hating on him for that as i have and would hunt private land but two different animals when talking big bucks on what I call very private land (land where hunters don’t even risk sneaking on) and public land. There’s like 10000000000 different theories out there, just do u if your successful, don’t change it up if it’s working.
We appreciate you watching! He’s talks more about this in the full episode if you didn’t watch it. He’s been hunting higher pressure hunting clubs and then transferred to public these last two year with success killing great bucks using this. Thanks for the feedback and we hope you check out the two new episode with dr. Bronson Strickland about buck bedding and movement patterns that just released.
You are incorrect, my dad hunted public land highly pressured and would kill bucks constantly just like what he was saying. Uncles would kill other good bucks days after dad tagged out from same stand. Buck travel is buck travel no matter the size.
Sorry you feel that way. You can't speak for the rest of us. May be you need to change up your game. I see 3 or 4 people on 5000 acres public all archery season. 6 guys hunt my private lease? Don't be lazy and switch it up. Stop complaining
@kylemartinson722: Did you read what i wrote? I kill big buck every year lol I don’t need to switch anything up. I said it’s completely different hunting private land to public land when you have to deal with human pressure.
@AlbertBayer-mm5qy: “A buck”, I was talking about big buck around 140 class and higher. I pass on 110-125 class bucks every year hoping they make it to next season or two years later. So not incorrect. “Buck travel is buck travel” lol not on public land most the time with a lot of hunters. That’s why i hunt small patches of woods and up tight on houses cause that’s where the big ones go where im from.
This is the worse episode y'all made so far and also all the information is from tame fenced in never hunted deer and not even like the terrain that most of the rest of hunter's like me hunt.
LOL😂 I LEARNED VALUE OF COVER /ROUTES..the does & bucks are separated to a large degree in fawning season, & the does stick to territory..Come rut, bucks disperse throughout the terrain between the does' territories..moving..holding, following nose for ready does..pretty simple in end, FIND DIFFERENTIATION BETWEEN "daily activity trails" & "connector-trails" that bucks advertise on.. Keep up the good work in the meantime@@thesouthernoutdoorsmen!
@@ML-ks2lj I agree, I've hunted public the last three years here in KY. Totally different game plan - but I wouldn't have it any other way! From the third week of October til the end of the second in November is just golden! No rifle guys behind almost every tree lol.
@@shadowdawg04Ive huntes Kentucky public all my life. Back in the early 90s the Daniel Boone National Forest I hunted, the roadsides were bumper to bumper with hunters, the past 5-6 years its trickled to a complete stop. I rarely see hunters at the gas stations in the early mornings like i used to.
@@Hammerback0 Year before last the place I hunted was surprisingly crowded, going in at least. But this last year not so much, and that's okay by me - best of luck to you!

Funnels are most productive places. I used to hunt a cross trail through a swamp. No wall hangers but plenty of chilli and steak!
I got lucky enough to buy property next to 28k acres of game reserve land. I know exactly what you mean brother.

There is not a better knowledge to take in than learning about ‘historical’ buck sign, if you want to consistently get on big bucks. Great Vid!
Truth i have one spot been rubbed for the 25 years ive hunted and every year a big buck shows up in December rubbing thigh size trees
Good tips! I was always wondering if I should set up on last yrs sign, makes sense after listening
I live in an area with a fair number of good bucks. I have only found a couple of those really big rubs in 50 years of hunting this area.

What the man says about a doe hating the smell of estrous is 💯. That is a lesson learned.
This episode is excellent!
5:54 you just changed what I'm looking for out there. I might have seen this and not realized it.
Great advice on hunting the rut ! Hope you guys have an awesome 2024!

There would be the one consideration, of a more lasting pressure, something that significantly alters the 'big picture'
like you said, there were conditions that led to the massive buck selecting that territory, and if the majority of those conditions remain, then you can reasonably expect for massive bucks to find the area appealing in the future.
but when the criteria, the conditions, dramatically change, the result might be that deer stop using an area for years or decades.
It may not be common, and it may require some pretty serious alterations, which hopefully we would recognize.
but perhaps then the only further comment would be
if you find that super rub , if you spot a massive buck in a region,
others will come there in future, "so long as deer are still able to use the area"
when you leave 5 cams out on public hunting land, how do you change the batteries? solar charger, or walk in and change them? Awesome video!! Learned a lot! THANKS
I walk in and check mine ever month or so. Can't say I like leaving my scent but I'm not sure it hurts you that bad either.
I use cell cams
Solar powered cell cams 100%
I hunt a single holler since i was 12 but its a great spot all my wall hangers except for 3 cake from there
Great advice guys, appreciate you sharing it!
Which full episode is this?

Well now Daniel You can count on being under surveillance Yourself after disclosing Your hunting strategies. Except lots of company now where You hunt. IMO I would have NEVER told everyone my plans for success. Good luck. 🦌😁
100% very strategic places will always, always have big bucks.
What's a Whip Rub?
They are the first rubs of the season. Typically on saplings about as big around as your thumb. The tops will sometimes be twisted off as well.
I have never had any cameras to hang so I guess I'm out of the...loop.
I see what you did there lol.
Ole boy looks like Oliver Anthony
Great stuff
Laughing out load. Why? Follow the rubs until they make a loop? Haha. I can walk into any woods and walk a circle, and I will find a rub. So, I guess in your mind, that would constitute a loop you're going to hunt. That is funny. That's hilarious. A better option is to study the layout of the land and know the behavior of the deer in that area according to age and sex. Then hunt accordingly in relationship to the age and sex of the deer.

Thanks for watching!
@@thesouthernoutdoorsmenI could only imagine the comment someone wants to relay to him 😂
@@JakeBlount-i5qlike, its a good thing stupid deer have hooves instead of thumbs, or they would respond to this "stupid people" comment?😂
We owned the same piece of property since 1984 it sure doesn't work that way on us
Put cameras at eye level
Deers eye level or your eye level??
10 mike loops !!
Does he hunt the king ranch for f sake
😂😂😂
Hes not accounting for the fact that bucks change patterns season by season according to pressure
Exactly and for food sources.
6 or 8 miles? Lol i could my walk our property perimeter 68 times
Bet

Basically, what he’s saying is this is a strategy only the wealthy land barons can use, you peasants.
Unless, you’re willing to trespass for 20 miles.
lol or hunt big tracks of public land like he does
Don't know what he is talking about.hundreads of hunters have different opinions...hang around hunters buddy.

There are two types of 'hunters' - those who theorize, and those who tag out... those circles do not overlap!
