This is What Most Hunters Get Wrong About Deer Hunting - Deer & Deer Hunting TV, Full Episode

- www.deeranddeer... Too many hunters do the same thing year in and year out, hoping something different will happen. If you’re not willing to change, your chances of success probably won’t, either. Learn how to break out of your rut in this full episode of Deer & Deer Hunting TV.
A major cause of this repetition is the idea that hunting harder (putting in longer hours on the stand, developing more plots, scouting deeper into the woods, etc.) will up the odds of filling that tag. If that sounds exhausting, you’re not alone. With time, money and opportunity already tight, some hunters would rather fall back into familiar routines.
However, hunting harder isn’t the key to success. Hunting smarter is the way to go. Everyone gets the same 24 hours in a day. Do you think the world’s most accomplished hunters - or perhaps just the ones in your deer camp - can get it done any other way?
But what does it mean to hunt smarter? Join the Deer & Deer Hunting TV crew for the answer.
Why do so many people feel they have to blast background music when they are otherwise making an excellent and very informative video?
I see where I went wrong. I don't hunt half tame, unpressured, engineered deer over food plots.
Old Goat exactly lol
Whos doing the pressuring?
Still cooler than buying venison lol not by much though
@yourleftnut1 not everybody lives out West if you live East of like Colorado what little public land there is is gonna be like black Friday
@@redacted4033 buy some land and be done with it. Simple as that
Also we can't study them day to day we have 9-5 jobs we have to work
Legendary Skulls just put a game camera out when you are at work then you can pattern their activities during the day
Yeah, drive 4.5 hrs then walk in another 4hrs, put out your game camera and then travel back for another 8.5 hrs to go to work, work 3 days and drive back and walk back in to get the camera?? If you live close enough to wild game to put a camera out while at work, then you must be a real shitty hunter to need one in the first place.
drunkonlove there's a thing called Bluetooth in game cameras and you can connect the camera to your phone then you can see the photos, my camera battery lasts 2 months of taking 150 pictures a night
Legendary Skulls just quit your damn job.😂..🖕work
Jack Graff, Does blue tooth work when your 250km away??
That's all great for you big sponsored hunters with hundreds of acres with 30 different stands
in great deer hunting states
to chose from but the real person only has one stand a very small piece of land that is not a
bedding or feeding area or that deer pass through. Real world hunting.
Douglas Cook amen couldn’t have said it any better
exaCTLY
My Dad taught me that each season is different from year to year. That was when I was 12. I'll be 50 this year.
These fellas ain't tellin' me anything new. I learned 30 + years ago.
Jus' Nuts jn
Jus' Nuts that’s why it’s for newer hunters
I 100 percent agree with you that these tactics will work great in the midwest on private land. However I'd love someone to come out and give tips on taking big bucks in the Southeast on public land....lol. Navigate the heat and the hordes of other hunters and try and pattern those deer.
I only do public land. Pressured all the time but you just have to do a good job scouting to find the narrows. Go where no one wants to go. Be patient and they will come.
My last deer i got was a Doe in PA, during blackpowder special season. First day, not but 15 minutes and one doe bleet later she came out and I filled my Doe Tag and my freezer. It actually startled me she came in so close and I was on the ground (i dont have a tree stand). You never know how long its gonna be!
This is my grandmas phone me and my dad went hunting we was walking to the stand and a buck come to the corn while I was climbing th ladder stand
Another great video with great information. Gotta love the comment section though, its what i expect to see haha. I was raised a rifle hunter in PA, we only have about 2 weeks to get something done, along with a million other Hunters. I picked up a bow to extend my season. I only had the thought process of gun hunter to bring into my first season. Go here, sit alllll day. Over the years i read up on alot of different articles, watched videos like this, talked to other hunters, and learned from the habitat and deer themselves. I am a completely different deer hunter now then I was 4-5 years ago. I am always learning and will continue too. Too many folks get stuck in there ways. This year was my biggest change, and hardest. Keeping my butt out of the woods even though i could have gotten out. It was sooo hot and still is warm into late October now. I decided to start playing the weather and stop "hunting harder" or spending every minute i had in the deer woods...it paid off! I hunted opening morning, then didnt go out again til almost 2 weeks later. Had our first, real fall cold front move in that broke the back of days of 80-90 degree temps. picked the wind for the stand on a breezy afternoon where the temps had dropped 30 degrees. This was also the first time i would hunt this stand. 2 hours later on 9/28, I had my hands on a beautiful 8 pointer. It was also one week to the day of my Son's birth! You get out what you put in!
Thanks James, I wish you the same!
Great video for someone who can dedicate a huge amount of their time to watching their areas deer activity. My fulltime workin, married and on an extreme tight budget. Need a video for the deer hunters that get about a very small amount of time to scout before prime time. I'm talking 3 opportunities tops. For 40 acres how many trail cams do you need?
I know im 2 years late but I have 38 acres and I only run 3. Just find some natural trails "you can definitely tell what's being used" follow them and see where they open up too. Slap one on a tree viewing where that trail comes out and do the same on other trails. But I will say Cell cameras save your ass more times than not especially if you have to get into or close to those trails to relieve SD cards every month.
You get such perfect shots of the deer, photography wise, it's beautiful.
Some good information here. I've just turned 50 and made a conscious decision to hunt smarter instead of harder. I started putting myself in areas where the deer were basically funneled through choke points in the woods, near creeks, streams etc. The first season I really tried hunting like this I killed more deer than I ever have and the shots were close range, by the time most of the deer came into shooting range they were basically on top of me which made for easier, cleaner kill shots.
At 14:42 dang son, that had to be a spine shot! I've never seen a deer go down like that with bow!
😂🤣 He( might) be a little high
Good video but my only con is that the background music is loud and kinda annoying. I'm here to try and learn not listen to music.
Turned it off as soon as I read this. Thanks for the heads up
A common pitfall of TH-cam channels. We don't care to hear the music..... ARE YOU LISTENING?
Just damn gimmicks. Not enjoyable.
Kiaser 215 I
I'm here for the beats man.
You are letting us know what you are considering for a good location, such as the month, time of day, considering scrapes and rubs or not. Not all of us have stands or private land. What to do on public land? Need to give reasons for a good location or not.
They make this like a planning a military strike. Their whole point for being out is to get the kill. Hunting is about enjoying the experience. You do that be getting out more often. Those who only go hunting to kill a big buck are missing a lot. No body has ever put on their headstone "I wish I hadn't gone hunting so much!"
Yet another great video. I look forward to the videos you guys produce over all others. I would like it if you did some hunts or videos in deep woods hunting. No fields or huge food plots.
The real problem is we overthink and confuse ourselves by watching the thousands of videos available. We end up with every new trick or piece of equipment to drag along and no deer to shoot at.
Oh we are not alone, I imagine you fish too, how much tackle do you drag with you? How many of those videos do you watch and buy more as a result? Hey it's a business.
Experience in your own area is the teacher that will get you results.
Misconception: hunting is about the kill
It’s truly about the wait in the stand in the place you love and just being in the outdoors
I couldn't agree more. A successful harvest is just the gravy, enjoying peaceful time in nature is the real meat and potatoes.
@@tristannoordhof735 Probably what the deer had in mind until someone shot it.
I have a 70 dollar rifle and a 100 dollar bow get my deer every year, you guys and all your crap gear geesh. This is my list of gear, small day pack,skinning knife, thermos and a good pair of boots. No planning required, just get out there and walk....
Jedidiah that’s good an all, walk around the woods, shoot whatever you happen to see, don’t use selective harvest to grow larger deer, pressure the area. Probably doesn’t matter if you just need to shoot 1 deer but I’d hear after year you’re trying to manage a property and grow bigger deer basically being a 1 man deer drive isn’t gonna be very efficient
Hey Benjamin, I usually hunt with a muzzle loader, 50cal and a 75lb recurve bow. My best days have always been early mornings(8am-10am} during a light drizzle and or light snow falling and no wind. I usually walk slow and stop every 50' or so and wait for about a minute and then move along. I walk on trials or I take a compass bearing and off I go. I have jumped many deer and I've come across many that are just standing there not moving, looking at me, sometimes they stomp the ground.....I have lived and hunted in 5 provinces in Canada (military). So far my posting to NB was the best for deer hunting. I prefer to ,what I call actually hunt deer, I hate sitting around. Many times if a doe crosses my path I just wait as usually there will be a buck coming along and as you may know they are really stupid during the rut, best of luck...
My first recurve was I think 35 or 40 when I was a teenager, my next bow,I had started a with an 80lb compound bow / silly me lol( that's all the store had in my draw length)....Ican't remember the bottom end weight, I just left it at 80 as I was going to use it for moose/elk hunting and I could only pull that 3x without killing myself and wasn't very accurate/I tried pulling it from a sitting position, no way.... (I'm a big man, 6' 3 230lbs) target practice was not fun at first... After a few weeks to a month though it became relatively easy. I figured I would go heavy with my recurve also so I could get a little more distance as I was finding it hard to get within 30-40 yrds for deer,elk or moose. I have never hunted from a stand....I think 50 is perfect for deer.
I also don't use a bunch of expensive equipment, I carry an old Remington ADL 270. a backpack with some food and drink, knife, hand and body warmers, warm boots and a sleeping bag. I find a good spot where deer are using and sit there all day and let those small bucks go and only shoot bigger mature bucks. Plus i hunt public land in the Appalachian mountains of Virginia so I walk a long way so there's no point in getting to my hunting spot and leaving to go get lunch. I don't use an ATV or 4 wheeler because wild deer know that sound and the smell of burnt gas and stay away from it, all my friends that are lazy and use a 4 wheeler don't get big bucks like me because deer aren't dumb they know that sound and you can't cover up the smell of burnt gas it sticks to you even if you walk away from the 4 wheeler. Yes you gotta hunt smarter but hunt smarter for the area you hunt and everywhere is different and no you don't need a bunch of expensive equipment because just having the basic equipment like gun, bow, boot, clothing and hunting license is expensive enough.
Plus some of these so called hunters that go pay to hunt and are guaranteed to see a shooter buck that's not hunting a wild animal. You might as well go pay a farmer to shooter cow.
Just wanted to say real quick that I saw a video by you guys where one of you said if you have a gut feeling to move stands then you should do it. Well today I was in stand and there wasn’t much action so I moved to a second stand and not 5 minutes later, two bucks walked within 15 yards of me. It was only a 4 pointer and another one I didn’t see, but it paid off. Keep it up! You definitely earned my subscription! (P.s. another reason I really like you guys is you don’t shove products all in my face and that’s really admirable!)
Hey there awesome video! Merry Christmas!
And around her we get 5-15 acre property to hunt the ability to move n relocate isn't a reality
Legendary Skulls shit I have only two acres 😂
Some day I hope to bow hunt Eastern WT - I live and hunt in Arizona so it's Coues deer , Muleys or Elk - The Archery Coues deer hunt is in August/September or Dec/Jan ! Much different than eastern WT hunting!
The public management areas are tuff because of the overpressure and these deer are use to being pressured the only times I have seen game is because they were push my way by other's .there isn't the same paths they run all the time .
At 5:36 don't be afraid to change your plan. A little later he's saying "I've bumped 2 deer but I'm commited to this stand." Wait A minute, aren't you kinda contradicting yourselves. How much does this guy feed his pet deer. Wish we had deer hunting videos that were more realistic. Kinda sad. Hello from Oklahoma. I would probably be in big trouble for hinge cutting trees on public land. Food plots forget it, I'd have 3 or 4 more people hunting on them. Not to mention even getting it done on public land. The majority of us don't have property to groom. Sorry guys.
Beginner deer hunter here about to start my first season. How do I know if I'm hunting on someone else's land or not? Obviously if there are houses around and if there are "no trespassing" and/or "no hunting" signs. But if there isn't either of those am I in the clear?
Thanks
Hi, thanks for watching. No ... you can't just go by "no trespassing" signs. Best bet is to go to your local bank or courthouse and get a plat book. In many states, simply not knowing where the property lines is not an excuse for trespassing. If you are not sure of the lines, don't guess. It's better to be safe than sorry. It is fairly easy to learn where the lines are, and there are even apps that can help you (like Onyx Mapping, etc). Good luck out there! - Dan Schmidt
40 or 50 years ago you could find a nice looking piece of woods, go hunting, and get a friendly wave from the landowner! Those days are days are long gone now though. Nowadays, getting written permission to hunt property that's not yours is more than polite, it's the law now. Just stomping around wherever you want is not going to make you any friends young man. ALWAYS have written permission. Good luck young man
.
Your literarily making your deer. Here in New York planting plots or supplying any source of food for the deer is a HUGE no no. Try coming up here for a season. You’ll be lucky to see one nice sized buck in a single SEASON.
Gary Cornum can you go into more detail on size of arrow you recommend for deer hunting; diameter, grain weight of broadhead & total grain weight of arrow. I know this can get subjective so perhaps a range based on white tail. Thanks
Hi Pete - here's a little bit more info that might help you: www.deeranddeerhunting.com/content/articles/how-to-select-an-arrow-for-better-archery-accuracy
I new to your channel and really like it. But! I live in Arizona and have been here for 30 something years now. I grew up in Texas and your videos relate mostly to eastern style hunting. Hunting is a lot different out here, do you think you could maybe make a little more western style hunting videos for us? Thanks.
Hi Doug, thanks for subscribing and for checking in with your thoughts. We have thousands of videos here, so it might take some digging ... but we have some pretty shows on hunting in southwestern locations. That being said, we hear you and will include more in our future plans! Best, Dan Schmidt, DDH
So, would I be smart to hunt on a private game preserve where the huge bucks are raised as pets then set loose and baited in a few hours before the cameras get turned on?
Great advice
At 10minutes, What is that cammo pattern on his jacket?
Hi Guro, that hunt was quite a few years ago. If my memory serves correct, I believe that is the Mossy Oak Treestand pattern. Best, Gordy Krahn
u cant teach someone to hunt if ur useing property that u hunt, try public land! u know where thousands of people hunt every year! those places u guys hunt and video are a joke! the deer are not even scared of people! and the property owners grow them! see we are not allowed to make food plots on state land, we have to hunt whatever they provide! go some place like that and make ur videos and then come back on here and teach!
Yeah right , it's like shooting goats in a pasture. I got a friend who goes on canned hunts like that, Totally different deal as hunting a stressed out wild deer. Our deer are totally nocturnal before regular rifle starts.
You're gonna hurt their pride man. It's funny that pretty much anyone who has the "best" advice for hunting deer do it on a camp or their own land. This year's gonna be the first year I really get into it, and I know that my county is horrible for deer season. We have em, they just like to hang around developed land more than the backwoods it seems. Really gotta rely on a good shipment of acorns and even then it's no guarantee. Here's to hoping mother nature's generous this year.
They actually do make videos about state hunting and Steve B hunts state property quite often. But whatever. It's easier to sit here and complain about why you don't shoot deer isn't it?
Michael Parrish stop crying!!! If your on public land hunt smarter.... Do your scouting stay away from othe hunters find the beding areas hunt as close as you can. HUNT SMARTER!!!!! Ive hunted public land and seen deer and some good ones. Sounds like you dont know how to hunt!!!!!!!!
@@terrybeasley2898 sounds like you hunt in a leftist comunity. Where they want guns banned, and abortions in walking clinics. Here in Tennessee there is little private land available and the whole state hunting next to each other on public land. Bow season ok. Gun season so much hunting pressure its more dangerous for the hunters than the deer.
My biggest problem with deer, is I can't see them til I'm right on top of them lol. I stalk with my bow, usually rainy, windy days to cover the noise, but I'll come around some brush, or up a knoll, and damn if a buck isn't standing like 20 feet from me all of a sudden, looking right at me, so I'm stuck frozen in that position. if I move to take a shot, they take off. Gotta catch them at the right angle.
Great valuable information, but the music is making it hard to understand.
When I go hunting all I have my rifle. I walk on the ground like our forefathers did. If you were good you got one.
There's an awful amount of complaining in the comments. If it's so tough shooting deer on public property, it's probably time for you all to put down your weapons and take up tennis. A lot of people complaining about how hard it is for you to shoot a buck on state property. I'm from Michigan. The highest pressured state in the country. Do you all want me to make a video for you? Rule #1, if you can see 80-100 yards through the woods you're in the wrong spot. Pressured deer are hiding in the thick stuff. 2) If you detect human presence, move deeper into the woods. Pressured deer will not tolerate living amongst predators.
Funny that contradicts this video. I can see 80 yards in this video easy.
Spring scouting, spring scouting, spring scouting. Like you said, if there's other hunters present you have to move away from them. Also scent control is huge. If the deer can smell you, you aren't going to see anything worth your time.
@@steppoffaith8426 you missed the point..... saying for the complainers of public land - hunt thicker territory
Hide like the deer that I hunt.
Hell yeah bro michigan man here myself its hard but like ya said i find myself hittin lil deeper in swamps and thick
Hunt starter not harder? Lol. No respect for that buck you shot. Spined him and talk to the camera and not finish him off. Have respect. DISLIKE!!!!!
You know these videos are edited don't you?
@@jeffamckee Watch the quiver. It has 4 arrows when he first draws on the buck and still has 4 arrows when he's talking to the camera. That means he didn't finish the deer before doing his monologue. Not cool.
probablyaduck And does it show the deer die immediately and lay still, or continue to kick? I missed that part. A spine shot is usually a quick kill shot. Remember, a lung shot can take minutes to dead a deer. A spine shot- seconds. And vice versa. Show me some footage of your kills, and I'll be better able to warrant your experience in these matters. Other than sounding Libtarded.
@@tdannerth Sorry, I don't need to prove anything to you. You're approval is of zero importance to me.
probablyaduck That's what people who can't prove what they are saying, say.
14:37 your welcome
fun stuff... you guys live in a different world than us "regular" guys, and where is the safety gear??
14:30 he said he hit high but deer dropped like a rock.
That’s actually not high at all, that’s a perfect shot. Shooting from up high, like 20 feet up the tree, you need to aim high. The arrow when penetrating into the inside, it goes lower and lower and touches both lungs.
thanks!
William Gray
Awesome Video!!
Meant to say you are NOT letting us know.
I hunt for the buck that is not trophy class. Keep the good. Healthy genetics in my surrounding area.
I just watched a DDH episode where one of the hosts proclaimed that mature bucks don't eat for days during the rut. My 40 years of hunting deer in Missouri do not bear that out. I have taken many big mature bucks during the rut and they always have foodstuff (browse, corn, soybeans, wheat) in their stomach. I would certainly agree that feeding is secondary to finding does for them, but to say they don't eat anything for days is BS.
So basically hunting smarter just means switching stands when you don’t see anything which is good advice when you have other stands to go to or you have any stands in general some people don’t have the luxury of hunting food plots on private land can someone please make a freaking video on tips that actually work on public land where you aren’t taking in a stand and don’t have the time to scout
Hi Jake, thank you for your input. If you haven't seen it already, we actually have a series on that here on our TH-cam channel. It is called, "Public & Pressured Land Deer Hunter with John Eberhart." Have a great season! -DS
Fun video
But some info is opinion not plainly correct/fact.
Example,
They claimed that if you sit in the morning and see nothing the right thing to do is move.
My experience is if it's a first day ever sit in a stand sit all day.
I have shot many deer in the afternoon on all day sits that I saw nothing in the morning.
It could be a afternoon spot.
When you move you won't know what would have happened if you stayed.
My opinion is if you jump deer on your way to your stand in the morning and see nothing then maybe moving is a good option.
Try that spot another afternoon.
I agree. I have repeatedly shot deer at certain spots in the afternoon and never caught sight of a deer there in the morning. I would rather walk around with a rifle until about 11:00 and then sit. It is a lot easier to spot a deer that is up and moving in rough mountainous areas. Once they are bedded it is really tough to spot them first. I have done really well doing this on public land about three days after rifle opens up.
The term is Insanity is doing the same thing expecting different results. Not doing the same thing expecting the same result
If ol Gordy had stuck it out in the first stand and shot a busted up 2.5 yr old, would Mark say that hunting smarter is NOT moving during the rut?
If you wait for the perfect time, you'll be waiting forever
This is so unreal, must be nice to have so much real estate to hunt. Reality is most hunters don't have the luxury of having hundreds of acres to stomp around. Doing this kind stuff, can get really upset other hunters on public lands.
It's easier for people with lots of private property, but every single year, in my home state of Michigan where deer are pressured probably more than the other 49 states, certain people who know what they're doing and put their time in shoot big bucks consistently.
You dont need hundreds of acres yourself if your 5-10 acres are in the woods to begin with and your land is more attractive to deer. Just cultivate some corn and let the deer come to it. Try keeping them out.
steve bartylla seriously needs to learn how to talk to people on camera. Felt like he was talking down to me , like I'm a idiot or a child. Did anybody else feel that way.
I don't know what it is, but I always want to change the channel the second he comes on. I can't quite say why.
They don"t say that hunting farmed deer helps the most. hunting public land no feeders and food plots. The deer are wild
This video is packed full of cliches and most of them given a twist or misquoted, insanity isnt defined as doing the same repeatedly and getting the same result, what would be insane about that? That's the way things work... the cliched false definition is that "the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result." Still not the real definition, just a cliche.
Buck fever!!! 👍👍
You should tell how to hunt in wv where the deer don't hardly have same patterns and everything is wooded
Nice shot Gordy.
Would have liked to see where the arrow hit as it’s pretty rare to drop a big buck like a rock with an arrow.
I’ve been hunting 30 years and I’ve never dropped one like a stone except when I hit the spine yet I almost always had to take a follow up shot.
Yeah the intense music is annoying as hell....Od rather hear the natural sounds of the event instead of making a big production of it like a Disney movie......we’re deer hunters, not 7 year olds.
As far as working jobs and not having places to hunt there’s nothing stopping people from hunting public land or getting permission to hunt private tracts.
Man I’m not afraid to ask someone with a nice property if they’d mind if I hunt there.
Some people say no but you’d be surprised how many people will say “kill them all because they eat my shrubs and whatnot.”
I have about ten private properties to choose from all because I’m not afraid to ask people I know that have property.
Offer to do some work around their place in exhange......get a buddy to help or bring your kids so they’re not playing video games and yapping mindlessly on facebook.
imagine a world without ads.
You know what, I'll never take this advice of moving and here's why. On our farm, we just did not have the deer population. I hunted one spot for a few days (we had about 6 locations) and I didn't see a damn thing. I thought the same thing and so I dropped my bow down, got to the first step and God damnit!!!! THERE WAS A SHOOTER WE NEVER GET ON OUR FARM!!!!! So no, I will not ever change locations unless I do it from the beginning.
He spooked by the way and that couldve been my first buck, a beautiful 10 point.
I moved today from a slow spot and ended up seeing two bucks. That’s why they say sometimes it pays off and sometimes it doesn’t.
I love all these trophy hunters and guys that plant their own food sources and this crap and that crap...I get in my stand every year and get my tags filled every year.....without the thousands of dollars you guys spend...
none of that seems to work on the public land in Southern Michigan🤔... in my 40 years of experience with state land. I'm one of very few who knows how to shoot the big boys. where I live you must outsmart the hunters also😕... all dear your shooting,like shooting deer in a barrel.
I shot a lot of deer off of Michigan state land! Yeah, it's a lot different type of hunting. You have to find the thick stuff way off the road. It's a long haul back dragging a deer, but it beats paying thousands a year in taxes.
yea when your hunting on high dollar lease. Give me a break. Try that crap on public land when your not rich. im out of here.
Sit with all the others and wonder why
You guys need to get better sound mixing, the music is just terrible over the discussion - tone it down 40-60% or eliminate it.
I have had people tell me that I need to stay out of the woods....because it will ruin the hunting in those woods......well, I ALWAYS have deer standing in open field areas standing and watching me drive by in my ranger......within 50ft....i can even stop and watch them for 10-15min while they graze. Yes, I pee in the woods as well. Ive even had bucks walk up to and area where I urinated as a test, out in view of my stand......he walked right up to it to smell. Now, I have no doubt that areas where human activity is non-existent, things are totally different.
As for cover scents.....I have found PURE Vanilla extract to be the best thing ever. Ive had bucks track me down before I can get my muzzle loader ready.....deer at a full run hit the brakes and wander around to figure out what that wonderful smell is.
Spine shot... Terrible... Ive done it on a doe.... But I didn't rejoice, Instead I hurried and put one int the boiler room so it wouldn't suffer flopping around for so long.
If there wasn't another shot in the deer it wouldn't have been dead when he walked up to it. They edit these videos. If you watch them in slow motion, most spine shots are from the deer ducking into the shot.
Yeah sucks watchin em suffer like that i hit one in the femoral artery with my bow dropped right there and started whining oooo man ive never gotten out of a stand quicker than that thats why I always carry a .45
Outlet Gaming I hear that!! It is a gut wrenching feeling to see and hear it. Or at least for anyone with a conscience lol
Preying Mathis true that
Preying Mathis . I spine shot a doe and when I saw it break-dancing on the ground , I ran from my blind, cocked that big old crossbow by hand and put one through it's heart. Make EVERY effort to be swift and merciful. Was that shot made by the guy in the room full of antlers?
Lot's of excellent information!!
Bill
i really dont like that you guys spine shoot a deer and dont finish it off!!!!!
Please edit your music volume. Not good.
Dan, does cuddie back not make a less crappy looking cap?
Half these “tips” are preference and don’t even apply to my area.
to the guy hunting his buddies place in Iowa, you say your ready too stay in the field all day.....well you just might if you don't start
using a safety harness. just sayin'.
Big bucks don't always move daily . Something's you have to hunt hard to get that big one
Inconceivable!
I noticed u review new products. Have u ever come across a mechanism that drops apples?… or diced apples?… an apple dropper?
I do not believe you can ruin a stand by being there at the wrong time. You may want to stop going there for a bit, but the first time it rains it's going to refresh the grounds. A deer memory is only 15 to 30 minutes long.......in my opinion.
That is not true. When I was a kid the neighbor had a tree stand in the hardwoods next to a stand of pines. I remember checking fox traps and often seeing deer stop inside the pines and checking out the tree stand before continuing up the trail. Animals are not stupid. Unlike 40 years ago, I now see deer check out the trees if they get a wiff of scent and can not see anything on the ground.
Why did he shoot that broken down small 8 point? Can't we have a hunting video that is informative without a kill?
Yes watch The Hunting Public half of there episodes have no kills
Please cut out the music. Good info but can't turn up loud for a voice.
Good stuff but not 100% practical for all hunters. For those of us who work for a living and hunt state land an hour away from home, we dont have the luxury of doing this much scouting. For us it becomes making the best educated decisions we can, getting into our spot early and being patient.
"the deer woods" is just like "the football" in use
It's so irritating for good information being drowned out by loud un-needed music.
Stay out till time is right Steve is the man
Would be a good politicians video.....repeat hint smarter with no pointers on how to do that....just luck of seeing a buck seems to be all that's shown.
I've got the same impression - this video is a bunch of phrase words without any real world example.
anyone that hunts knows this come on people really hunt smarter !!!! Ok
Jr. It's funny you mention luck, must be tough luck for them sitting over bait and food plots...lol
My advice.... take time to really learn the property and how the deer move on that property. Most places I've hunted takes 3-4years to do this, even on small properties. Then I start to feel like I can predict deer more regularly. That's my thoughts. Good luck
Good channel. But I can't hear the guys talking for the background music blairing in my ears.
This will never help you you go out sit and wait till a deer comes you don't move every couple minutes
This video should by titled, "better to be lucky in deer hunting than smart". You missed the vitals by a foot at about what, 10, 15 yards? You guys going on safari at the zoo in your next episode?
You seriously spent your Iowa tag on that deer?
White tail only.
Never hunted from a stand ive shot all my deer from the ground from the age of 13 till now 47 thats with bow an gun
Gordy you should've passed up that small 2 1/2 year old buck.
If you looked at the shape of the body, the buck was older then 2.5.
This program shows as many commercials as they do actual hunting.
Are you not tired of just anybody, known or not, telling you what you are doing wrong. The biggest problem I see is getting access to decent habitat. Too many rules and regulations from one region to another. Our forefathers had none of these problems of where to hunt or fish.
you got that phrase so wrong....
Easy to
Make you point when u have to $ and land us reg working class bums don't have either we take what we can get. And go when can
Legendary Skulls you can still go scout on the weekends. I have trail cams at my BLM land in my honey holes I check on the weekends. It takes effort.
Have you ever had your trail cams stolen on public land? I have been wanting to put up some but I don't want them stolen.
I've had several cams stolen on public land, even in very remote places I rode over an hour away from the nearest road! Usually, they are only stolen though if set up where lazy people can get to them... interesting observation... But, you can get a satellite tracker and hide in your cam and then go right to the theif and get it back...plus vengence...or take a cop with you... but then again the sat tracker costs a lot more than the camera. LOL :)
rdsii64 trail cams🤔... is that like a crow?
Creek Chubin ??
Yeah, cause we all have deer hunting as our full times jobs. We can take all the time in the world to watch deer everyday and only hunt our stands at “peek times”. No, that’s not how life works at all.
Your opening monologue is incorrect. The definition of
insanity is expecting different results not the same as stated. Lots of
comments regarding the need for safety gear. Safety gear is good. In most cases
nowadays, I feel it is more important than ever because the lack of common
sense in most people makes it almost a dire necessity. However, I thoroughly believe
e a person has the right to do as they see fit (within the law); the mentality
of wrapping everyone in bubble-wrap to prevent injury is stupid to those of us
who have a modicum of common sense & have been raised to manage risk
accordingly. Keep up the good work.
The definition of stupidity is using the "Insanity" definition. I do many things over and over and expect better results. It is called practice and experimenting.
Experimenting implies that you are changing things. The “phrase/old
saying” regarding stupidity/insanity is doing the same & expecting
different results. There’s nothing wrong with experimenting it’s the foundation
for discovering innovations. However, doing the same things again & again
expecting different results is neither productive nor intelligent.
Practice is unintelligent? Doing something once is an experiment? You obviously have no machining/mechanical ability whatsoever.
By practicing you ARE changing things. You are improving
motor skills, mental skills, etc. You have either a reading comprehension deficiency
or a diminished mental capacity. I won’t debate a mental midget nor give you
education in comprehension. Please stick to liberal bubble-wrap world &
leave the intellectual conversations to the adults.
I may be, but I'm still correct. You are just an idiot. You need to review, retain comprehension & context. You keep losing yourself in not understanding. I'm sorry but I have neither the time nor the inclination to educate you further.
MUSIC IS RIDICULOUS AND OFF-PUTTING.
It's all a guessing game , ten experts will give ten different pieces of advice. When it works out thier reasoning was right on and they are so smart , when it doesn't the deer just didn't move today .
Sure are a lot of jealous guys on here...lol. You want more hunting opportunities? Get a better job! Further your education! Or you can just troll around the internet and complain about having to be a "regular" guy the rest of your life. That choice is totally up to you.
Not hardly. Been hunting state land my whole life and did OK. The next step for guys that bait on private land is a "Hunting" trip with an outfitter when they have a bad year. I will be leaving this weekend for the West Virginia deer opener. We camp about seven miles from a hard road and can't even get a cell phone reception. That is the way we like it. I have seen guys like the video poster show up to hunt. Once. Their B/S does not fly down there.
Lol 45 have a college degree, 2 year though. Spent 8 years in Army , I have alot of skills and common sense, but high paying jobs don't just grow on trees .life has no guarantees, I know a lot of people some friends they're highly educated and have good skills but still working 7 to 5 jobs bud.
