As a guy who only hunted in the Ozark it always interesting to listen to y’all talk about pine thickets and laurels. Cause I have no clue what those are.
Piney woods flat ground here , it is a different world , but yaws is totally different for us , I do go on a hunt in hill country and try but is it wild hills and valley
This was a great show, that dude is a beast,makes alot of sense with his tactics but I ain't climbing those mountains lol,I hunt not far from Uwharrie nation forest and we got some big hills that whoop me lol
This sounds like mountain deer hunting in central Pennsylvania. Laurel everywhere and you can go 7-10 days and not see a deer. That’s why I hunt farmland lol. I did kill a 148” typical 8 on a logging road on a high wind. I spent days in this stand this year because I knew big bucks use to check for does. All day sits in the rut are important too
I tried the part he talks about giving a buck the wind. An my dad thought I was crazy for doing it. But It was a spot that I have had a scrape every year an I was always hunting it with wind in my face below the scrape. An thinking out side the box I said let's try something new. I let the wind blow from my left shoulder to my right side with the scrape below me at 20 yards of my left shoulder. Had my back to the pines an mountain Laurel edge an scrape was just on the edge of the hardwoods in front of me to the left side. To the right side of me is a rock bluff that I knew deer traveled the top side.the buck came in from the left side an walked right under me on the logging road that led to the rock bluff. He gave me a 15 yard shot with my bow. Unfortunately I hit a limb an it deflect my arrow just under him. But I'm sure it was going to check the scrape an head to the rock bluff scent checking with my scent blowing in between them an into his face. The deer made a loop below the scrape once I missed an if he didn't pick up my ground sent he was going to be down wind of me at 20 or 25 yards an travel the to of that bluff. Unfortunately the following year we lost the property to the owner selling it after hunting it for nearly 15 years. Changed the way I looked at scrapes an especially if the set up simulator to this property.
If I move midday bc of wind change/thermals, if it's peak rut I'll do some grunts and actually run/drag my feet the 15-20 feet to my stand. Gotta get up quick but that's called in a buck within 5-10 mins more than it hasn't
Definitely works sometimes but a little risky. If you are walking in loud crunchy leaves, sometimes it works to make the noise since it’s loud anyways but hurry and get up the tree quickly and quietly and let out a few soft grunts. Sometimes the buck 150 yards away hears all the noise and comes to investigate.
If I don’t see a deer for a whole day I usually move I always think the grass is greener at the next spot then often I regret it and realize the first spot was best
I give the spot 3 days if it looks good..By the 3rd day you will usually get your dee4 or at least where they are going and move..I guess that's why it's hunting and not killing..It's the best.
Ok I’ve heard you and others say that white oaks produce acorns biannually and red oaks annually but according to research and my observations it’s the other way around?!😳
I and several colleagues over the years swear we were taught white oaks produce biannually and red oaks annually when we were in forestry school (different schools) but all of the information says it’s the other way around.
Great show. One of my faves in last 3 years.

What episode has the OK hunter? I'd love to hear you talk to some Texas hunters!

Have you guys ever talked with a hunter from Florida? I’d love to hear about that
When you are hiking over a mile in, and you get that big buck... How do you get it out?
I've hunted north GA for bear for years found alot of bear and almost never see whitetail ever

You can’t emphasize enough how much milk weed comes into play in higher elevations
