Scouting for Early Deer Season based on ONE type of Oak Tree

  • Here I revisit a spot I hunted once last year, and would like to hunt again this year if the acorn crop is good. This particular place is unique to the area, with a couple stands of mature Shumard oaks, which have been a great early season feed tree for me over the years.

    What we call woodsmanship. Being familiar with all of the pieces and parts of a forest and how they tie together. It’s what the newest generation of hunter sorely lacks. Just delighted to see teachers and influencers such as yourself re teaching the craft. Well done.

      Totally agree!! Not only is he a good hunter, but he is a great woodsman as well! Definitely a lost craft among my generation. Well done Catman!

    Another excellent video Catman. One thing I do is lean at least 3-4 sticks up against the base of the tree.... like a tepee. It makes it easy to find when coming back in including in the dark. I usually use rotten limbs about the size of a mans arm and about 3-4’ tall. It’s amazing how much it helps and the will stand for a year or two. Good luck.

    I used to always have good success hunting over dropping persimmon trees here in West Tennessee, but the past 10 years or so it's became more miss that hit for some reason.

    Great hunting style , scouting for browse on different small woods plants like that. In river/wet zones orange jewel weed that is heavy browse a very easy way to judge deer numbers and traffic through an area they love the jewel weed!

    Thanks for the web address on discussion on identifying oak trees. You should try the Bankhead National Forest in north Alabama. They have a lot of big mature bucks. John 14:6

    I also have the plant identification app called PictureThis. According to the paused section of the video that I took a picture of, it's call Jack-in-the-pulpit plant. Others common names of the plant are Indian Turnip, Bog Onion, Brown Dragon, and American wake robin.

    This old boy from Nebraska understands lobed white and sharp red oak but are white oaks so named because of the bark? Video went a little fast for me to sort out difference. I usually wait until last week of October first week November but since I retired 4 years ago feel like I should get out while acorns are dropping. I’m public land an think SE Nebraska has predominantly Burr oaks

    if you go and watch your videos and you'll see how bad your turning is... please turning slower greatly appreciated it...
