M28 Munising! Recognized it right away. I am originally from Ishpeming. Born and raised Yooper. Keep up the great informative videos.
One thumbs down already ? wtf ? Speak up troll what is your problem ?
Lol, appreciate the support Harold!
Probably an anti hunter.. lot of them subscribe just to give a thumbs down
@@caseysteinhofer1188 oh for sure! I also have another channel creator that is notorious for stopping by and giving a thumbs down along with a negative comment...he is always a suspect, lol
Vegan troll
It’s just another know it all giving a thumbs down. Just like some of the other guys commenting on here. There are a lot of hunters out there that think they’re a “pro”.
This is my first year getting deer and my third year hunting overall. I must say these videos give me a lot of things to think about and gather. They have helped tremendously.
Northern VA Hunter, thanks for sharing your information!
Tons of great advice!
Every time you step out of your vehicle into the woods, tell yourself, think like a predator, hunt like a predator, your already off to a great start! Thank you for your videos, really appreciate it! 👍🏻
Brett, thank you for the feedback...means a lot to me! And man, so true. I think that has been somewhat of a lost hunting art in recent past - being a "predator"...
Can you do a video on hunting upper Michigan and post some of the pictures of your bucks that you shot there
Sounds like a great idea! You should check out my first book, Whitetail Success By Design. The intro and conclusion surround one of my favorite public land, UP of MI hunts...
Might be one of the best whitetail info videos I’ve found! Thanks for all your work!
Great video Jeff! I appreciate all the helpful info. I've emailed Diane and some response... When u come to PA I might be interested in splitting some time with another customer if it works out. I know ur time is very valuable! Thanks for all ur helpful FREE information. Have a good one. Kervin
42 acres southwest Pa
Thank you very much! I know she has talked about splitting time? My schedule is really tight tho so if it wasn't planned quickly after you talked to her it may be booked up already? I don't know tho, all scheduling is completed by Diane...I stay away from that area of the business 🙂 really appreciate it Kervin!
Listening to this as I work in the woods. Cant wait for the fall. I know from all that I have learned from this channel it should be a great season. Thanks for the video.
Nice Clayton...bet a great day in the woods...well any day in the woods is a great day 😉 You are very welcome...hope you get a lot accomplished today!
Nobody talks about deer in the south east. I know they dont get as big but there are 200 pounders and bigger with good racks around.
I agree. I'm getting pretty ok at figuring the deer out. But it would be nice if somebody that was really good. Would talk some about it. East tennessee Would be great. Lol
Great video. I am a 83 year old and this is my 2nd year of hunting deer with a crossbow. Have seen a very nice buck 3 times in the past week. Can not get him to come close. Thank you very much. Arthur Baker
I what you said pic your days some guys wanna go everyday regardless when some of those should be spent not in a tree stand i had a guy i use to work w get off work 3:30 home by 4 out to woods by 430 dark by 5:20. Those deer are already out moving and he always say never see anything but out there 200 yards well wonder why learn to pic and choose
It is so critical. More time in the woods rarely leads to more mature bucks. You CAN shoot more bucks by sitting on the couch for sure. Smart hunting trumps hunting as much as you can, every single time - great observations! Of course this has more to do with the hunters actually wanting to shoot the best bucks in the neighborhood...and not just the average bucks.
I will second the ATV thing. My dad always said the ATV will not disturb the deer. We used to have a 160 acre lease, and he would never sit until dark, he always got out of his stand in the golden hour in my opinion. The last year we hunted together, I moved my stand with out him knowing where I was, he knew the general area, and just like clock work, he got out of his stand fired up the ATV, and packed roughly 100 yards away from my stand, he pushed two nice bucks right to me with in bow range. I told him proof is in the harvest, the ATV does spook the deer. Thanks for taking the time wo help educate a lot of us with this focus on picking out better days to hunt.
Have a blessed week.
Dale
Appreciate your knowledge and input!
You are very welcome Glenn...really appreciate your comments and I hope the info helps you out! Thank you...
Another great video Jeff! 👊🏻 watched it while sitting here mid morning turkey hunting lol.
Ha nice...hope you are having some luck! Thanks a lot too...unless too distracting!? Lol
Man, my eyes tell me the rut happens at different times. I don't think you can narrow it to within a week or 2. I've tried your way. I've tried the moon phase. Now I'm going to take the hole month of November off work. shouldnt miss it than lol
No you won't miss it, lol. But...it really does happen at the same time every season. If you follow that fact then the entire rut makes sense. The pre rut, the rut lock down phase, the primary rut and the post rut...all of course setting up the secondary rut. When you follow those dates...which take place within a day of each other each year, then it says out a fool-proof rut hunting strategy that you can count on every season. Just all highly proven science. Weather plays an influence in rut activity, hunting pressure plays a huge role and so does the presence of not of mature bucks. But rest assured same timing every year. Without following that rule...your level of potential success is extremely limited because you are always chasing and reacting, instead of dectating, controlling and setting up for in advance for it to happen. Most of my rut hunts are planned months in advance for a specific stand, specific time if the rut for a specific target buck...just need the weather to tell me when to hunt 🙂
Awesome video, I really enjoyed watching that. Do you know of any cheaper alternatives to waterholes than those poly stock ones from TSC? Im looking for something in the 30$ range or so and the only tanks I see on TSC's website are way out of my price range especially if I want to build 3-4 waterholes. Would a rubbermaid container work?
Thanks a lot Bradly!! It's s tough balancing act. Those $75, 100-110 gallon tanks are the cheapest I know of that you can count on to last for a decade or more. Also, you don't want to go any smaller. Anything cheaper will crack and fail within a short period of time...rubber maid containers, kiddie pool, etc. ESPECIALLY of there is a lot of snow and ice involved. I wish I could tell you something else...but I would be already using it myself for sure 🙂
@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 Makes sence thanks for the reply. Ill be on the lookout for used ones for a bargain!
@@bradlybrisson5700 for sure...good luck! Even if you look at establishing 1-2 and getting the others in the ground next year?
@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 Yeah ill try and get it established this year or next. I got ALOT to do to my new property, Its a blank slate 60 acre mostly pasture type property. Cant wait to apply your reccomendations, Ive studied up on your material ALOT lol
@@bradlybrisson5700 that sounds great...I love converting pasture, I think a combination of switch and pines will work great for you...all in closing pockets of aspen, soft maple, red osier dogwoods, tag alder...and any broadleaf early successional growth. Enjoy the whitetail work!
I live up in the U.P. and its a tough hunt, snow, cold, lack of food, predation, it tough. I appreciate your time and effort, I've shared it with my hunting buddies. Thx!
Good information for the land owner.....this public land in PA is a tough one. I'm 54 been archery hunting since I was 20. And let me tell you , you can do all your scouting and hang stands. One week before you want to hunt you'll have two tree stands near you and guys walking around at daybreak. And some groups put drives on from opening day. Very frustrating. I do have to play poker, craps and blackjack 😄😄 . I still get my deer tho. Thanks for the info.
Interesting video & info. I've been hunting for more than 60 years. I think you should get a job as a weather forecaster 'cause you appear to be able to identify weather patterns better than the professional weather people. In Renfrew County, Ontario, we see more large bucks in late November and December. They seem to be looking for missed does regardless of weather. As for water holes, there are creeks, lakes and swamps where plentiful water is available. The bottom line is that hunting is a passion which I enjoy. Thanks for sharing your passion.
Oh man! Great video! Got me excited for this upcoming season! Can’t believe have to wait 5 more months for the 2019 season! Going to have to replay this in September! Love the longer videos! Good stuff 😉❗️
Thanks a lot David! Ha, it will be here soon for sure...amazing how time flies! Definitely replay...I hope it helps you out a lot...really appreciate the feedback
Spent the day working on my land with the chainsaw and brushcutter. Almost as much fun as hunting. Makes the wait go much faster! Love this time of year also! Those are some great bucks on the walls! Congrats! Awesome when the hard work and planning all come together!
@@deercamp3479 sounds like a lot of fun David...I love that stuff! And thanks on the bucks too...i actually have around a dozen more, but most if them smaller. I am actually going to swap out a couple more...many great memories no matter which ones are down there!
Yup all about the memories! ...have a question about the scrapes and mock scrapes in the north.it seems bucks like all my mock scrapes but their favorite is a natural pine or balsam tree .they really like to thrash the hell out out of em and really dig up the ground but this is usually just the first couple weeks of November. Before and after that they are much more casual around them. Is this an up north thing? And would I be better off using a pine tree mock scrape over a vine? Thanks
thanks for all your great videos. I appreciate your advice i have only public land to hunt but i still learn something about every time i watch your videos thanks for putting out really good videos
Junior that means s lot to me, especially coming from a public land hunter! Lots of respect for you...I hope the info continues to help
I may be wrong, but I believe Alabama may be one of the most unique states for the rut.
I believe so too! I was down there in February before...really strong rut at that time!!
@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 One part of Alabama has a rut around Christmas. Then another part early to mid January. Then in South Alabama you just start to see chasing the last week of January. We have the Seminole deer from Florida, and was stocked by Virginia deer, Michigan deer, and Texas deer. Studies show that deer are deer, but some does are bred in March here.
@@jeremysilcox9362 I was there late January a few times... pretty cool! Same principles as the north, just an entirely different, more drawn out rut. Great feedback Jeremy... appreciate it!
I agree 100%. The deer on the management area close to me start rutting pretty much opening week
Reading the title in my notification alert for this video was like how I was as a kid on Christmas morning....
Ha that's awesome to hear Chris! Figured I would publish some viewing material for s relaxing Sunday morning...really hope it helps you during the 2019 rut! Thank you Chris
@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 yes this is one of a very few "must watch without exception" channels for me too
Oh I'm pumped not only for the rut but saved 16 days of vacation to use with your weather formula to use at will...we all know the best weather days vary rarely land on weekends. Lol
@@chrisheinenoutdoors8880 that's outstanding to hear Chris!! And so true. I can't wait to get into the weather forecasts during the season...always so rewarding to hear back from hunters!
@@haroldcallahan4887 well I greatly appreciate it Harold...means a lot to me!
Hello. Really enjoy your vids, they are very informative. I live in the south, Georgia, and I notice that most of your vids are geared towards northern states. Not sure if you have expertises in southern hunting as well but if so, would live to see a video specifically for southern hunting strategies. Thanks.
WOW.....looks like you have it all on this one. Thanks for all the great information!!!!!
Bob
You are welcome Bob...man I can't WAIT to hear about your rut this season ☺️ thank you and I hope that you are safe, sound and recovering well...
Thanks Jeff. God Bless.
Thank you Bob, I really appreciate it!
I’ve got kinda like this. I’ve started watching the weather like you said brother and your advice works. The buck I killed last year I wouldn’t have got him if I hadn’t paid attention to the weather. Same year before last. The buck last year was a dandy 8 but time I killed him he’d broke half of the main beam off but he was a great 6 point then lolllll. Your advice helps me out a lot. Thank you brother good night GOD BLESS.
great video Jeff. Do you find yourself hunting mornings more closer to the rut or not really?
Hi Randy thank you and great question! rarely hunt mornings until the pre rut. A couple sits maybe, but I sit a LOT during the morning during the rut, opening day of gun...and just a handful of sits the entire rest of the season.
Jeff, you have the best deer hunting advice on you tube. I always watch your videos. I can’t wait try some of these tactics this year.
Where are you going to sit in that room in a few more years?!! ;)
Ha, pretty funny! I actually have 4 of the big ones to add to that wall...maybe 1 to take down...I still have around a dozen more 😲 Didn't make the wall big enough, lol
Unfortunately from time to time you get a unhappy camper for whatever reason it’s very easy to be a tough guy on the tube when in fact your a coward why the insults if you don’t agree fine just voice your opinion no need for insults sorry for you Jeff you shouldn’t have to deal with this crap keep up the great work
Really appreciate the support Paul, means a lot to me. I've always figured someone is an incredible coward to disagree and insult..but then to not use their real name. Plenty of great folks that don't use their real names...totally understand that! But they don't hide behind it and say things they would never say in person. The sign of a true social media coward is when they say things online that they would never dare say in person unless drunk 😜 Speaks volume to quality of the person...
another good video Jeff do believe I got another nice buck here hav'nt put eyes on him yet. Now I have smaller hands but I found a four finger track going to be watching for him.
Ha, mine are pretty small, lol. Thanks Yogi hope you narrow him down to the front if your bow!
Pure gold Jeff , thanks you again !
Thank you very much that means a whole lot to me...hope it helps!
Love your videos Jeff.Cant wait till fall.Last year I saw more chaseing on December 10th.The buck are getting antlers here in Northeast Pa.I found 34 sheds.Last one on April 19th.Too many tics??
That's a lot of sheds...GREAT number of bucks! We always see our last bucks holding somewhere within a week of 4/1. That is right in the wheelhouse for the secondary rut in your area. Too many does, poor weather suppressing rutting opportunity maybe? I hope to get out to PA again this season...hopefully better weather during the rifle season opener this year 🙂 Thank you!
How do you feel about using a feeder, like a hanging feeder that dispenses corn? I’ve been watching a lot of your videos and haven’t saw where you mentioned them. Would it be better than not having any food at all or would a trophy buck be wary of them?
Appreciate the question Cameron! They can spook deer greatly but really it's the hunting pressure that spooks deer...not the feeder. Same with food plots, mock scrapes, waterholes, apple trees. Any attraction will spook deer if deer associate that attraction with hunters. A bait pile is one of the word because hunters can't stand the temptation of hunting right over it. Check out this bait pile video ☺️ hope it helps!

Thank you for the fast reply! Your videos are extremely informative and educational!
Great video Jeff! Got a lot of bedding areas cleaned up and travel corridors done yesterday. My hinge cuts look awesome!! I can’t believe how much they grow in two years!
Thanks Brian and that is outstanding to hear!! Perfect time to do so to...these are some of my favorite days all year - no bugs no leaves good temps 🙂 congrats on all of the work done!
Excellent video. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge Jeff.
Another great video. Jeff I have a question for my job I have to give them a 45 day notice for time off so I can’t play the weather days. What week would you take off this coming year for the rut I’m located in central WI
Good question KC! If I had a big, mature core buck hanging around during shooting hours...then definitely the week ending on 11/3. If I needed to rely on cruising bucks...public land then more random private land movements that would be the week ending on the 10th. Thank you very much for the comments!
The last 2 years I’ve killed good bucks one 5.5 and last year one 4.5 on Dec. 2 within an hour of each other in the morning. I love the second rut at the beginning of it.
That's awesome! Such an overlooked time of the rut...let alone the hunting season. Congrats!
Our rut happens here in mid Tennessee around first week of November - Thanksgiving
What about south Tennessee
Hunter Encinias Hunter about the same time
I have a creek within 100 yards of my stand locations, center of the property that runs out to a major food plot, do I need a watering hole?
It really depends Justin. If deer are bedded dry and heading towards food and water in the evening, then a waterhole can be appropriate if in the right location between dry bedding and water or food.
Weather aside, when is Central IL peak rut then? Nov. 13th? Most of us are looking at the week of 4th-8th to take vacation. We have to pick our weeks so it's not easy to go by weather alone.
Around the 10th would be peak there. Always remember 2 great daysnof weather trumps 7 days of bad weather by several times ..and you don't burn out the land and stands.
Hope that makes sense!
@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 Thanks. I have killed more bucks between the 7th-10th than any other days over 28 years. Last year it was DEAD where I was at. It was on fire the last week of October.
@@johnmarkello a lot of times...the activity levels during that time of year depending the presence of a mature buck and weather. Hot weather = bad hunting. No mature buck during the pre rut...not a lot of activity.
I start seeing bucks in late October & the bucks disappear after the 3rd week in November. I think the rut hits around November 10th for my area.
Right in the middle in many, many places! That puts the Pre Rut during the last few days of October...
Where are you from?
@@abbeygriffin9886 mn
How bout northeast Arkansas?
Did you get that buck at the 44 second mark yet ? That is a big one - I like the low wide beam rack
He is one if my 2019 target bucks...on a very short list 🙂 "The Split Brow buck". I passed him 3 times in 2017...not this year. Diane almost shot him last year... hopefully this year, but it may happen before the rut! Hoping...
By the way I am and think in Texas
No doubt. why would anyone thumbs down this great info? I have learned so much from whitetail habitat solutions.
Hey brother this will be a interesting video. All your videos are interesting don’t get me wrong but some stand out from others. They’re all informative. Thank you for taking your time to share the info GOD BLESS.
Thanks KS Randle, I hope it helps! And is interesting!
Whitetail Habitat Solutions it helps and is very interesting brother GOD BLESS.
@@randlerichardson5826 thanks a lot for the feedback Randle!
My in laws have 70 acres that I've started hunting this year at the age of 50 ! your videos are chalk full of information and I will be buying your books for myself and my 2 sons !
MY problem is hunting in middle Georgia is always a crap shoot. The temps are always a problem because it don't really get cold until late Jan .into Feb. and Mar. So what would be the best time for hunting the rut. I have had some success in mid Nov. I just wish we had colder weather in Nov. Any suggestions?
I have killed a Buck on November 7th for the last 5 years and i bet I'll kill one on the 7th next season
I like those kind of rut stands...takes the guess work out of the hunt 😉 I like going after specific target mature bucks so it gets a lot more complicated. Those are cool stand tho!
@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751not all from the same stand I hunt public land and I'm also targeting mature Bucks👍
@@monsterhog1118 that's awesome! That's how I like to hunt public land...although I choose the best weather day around that same time frame. Totally cruising bucks on public land out of s handful of stands that have the best sign. Kind of overlapping buck ranges. I actually would rather hunt then, than around then or during the end of October. At least timing for most of the north 1/2 of the country. Makes sense...sorry, misread your first comment and appreciate you clearing that up with me. I tend to read too fast at times! Thanks
So true. I raised deer for years and they always breed around the first week of November
Crazy how you can just about set your clock by it. One thing that really heats up as soon as the pre rut kicks in...is morning and mid day waterhole use but bucks. They seem to start getting a little rutty and morr thirsty at the same time 😉 have seen that on our waterholes for roughly 17 seasons. Otherwise they do not need to hit water in the morning after feeding on green moisture crops all night. And they typically don't leave there daylight bedding areas to hit water outside not the rut, with the exception for in the way to their afternoon food sources.
@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 I have learned so much from your channel and from my pen raised deer of course. I really appreciate your channel and all the valuable info. You probably need to monetize it more actually, but I'll take all the info I can get. My property has lots of water unfortunately but I'm thinking of trying a waterhole in one location to experiment. I have so much anticipation for this season after following your channel for a while. I'm get the dozer next week to clear my first thought out plot for them to hit before they hit 400+ acres of ag soy beans. THANK YOU and your channel is going to grow exponentially.
Hello, I live out in Idaho and normally hunt elk and mule deer but want to get a whitetail because I never have. Most of them are in northern Idaho and there are some real bruisers. Any idea when the pre and rut start around here> Thanks for any info.
Hmmmmmmm So you have some of the biggest names in the Industry talk about barometric pressure and how very Important it is................... Who to believe LOL By the way very Informative Points Learned a few things Thanks !!!
This is not a comment but a question
I live in Michigan and I shot a 8 pt buck on 10 -3 and high neck was big and it 3 weeks early and is this common
Love your work thanks
southwest Arkansas?
Once again Jeff you have just amazed me with your information! Thank for being so willing to share the knowledge that has taken you years of hard work to obtain. Cheers from SW Michigan!
Idk bout everywhere else but east TN the rut for ever has been 3rd week in Nov. But the last 5 or 6 years. I don't care what anybody says it's changed. I had a hot doe bring 2 10 points an 8 & a 4 point with in 5 min on Oct 15th 3 years ago. They walked every step she took even after she had an arrow in her ( cause iwasnt expecting her to be hot) & the started grunting the hole way.
Where I grew up the local tavern was a deer check station. Over 50 years the lady who owned the establishment took records of buck harvest. Every year was the same Nov 10 to 15 were the days 90 percent of all bucks were killed. Was a lesson I never forgot from her timing is everything. From years of my hunting and camera observations Oct 24th seems to be the kick off date and gets good till Nov 18th then its very very spotty for miles around. Every bow hunter I know says the same thing in my area.
Come to Bradford County. I'll hook u up??
Thank you very much...I love hunting in the Federal forest out there! I have a few favorite spots...I really appreciate the offer!
Jeff, I use a Summit Climber and do all I can to be quiet, but inevitably the stand will scrape the bark as I am pulling up with my feet. have tried and tried but cannot seem to change this fact. Any suggestions? Also if hunting deep woods, how do you manage your exit? In during day light for evening is somewhat easy, but out at night can be rough.
Thanks,
Nate Q
I am new to hunting only about 7 years now this is my 1st year hunting public lands I am looking forward to using a lot of what I've been learning watching your videos if I manage to get something this year I will definitely let you know
The problem with the rut is th as t too many guys expect it to be this magical time where every big deer gets completely stupid and walks right up to you and asks to be shot.
N.E. Indiana Hunter here saying thank you Jeff for the great info (video)....!!!!
Great stuff man. Have you done any hunting in the south? Like GA or AL? I know the deer are small but I am looking for tips, right now mainly for public land.
i just moved to MN this will be my first time hunting here so i don't have my own land so I'm hunting public land for the first time and i don't have a treestand can you hunt successfully from the ground?
I can’t remember if I told you or not brother but I limited out here in TN on turkeys this year and I’m fixin to get started on my plots on my lease now soon. I’m looking forward to using your advice here in TN. Deer are deer don’t matter where they are at they’re all the same.
This info is incredible! You have me riveted to the screen and will be using this info and passing it on. One of the places I will be hunting this year has a creek we will follow on the far left of the access and a corn field on the right. Straight ahead of that is a line of trees from left to high a couple hundred feet deep. Lots of food and water and tons of activity last year. There were large areas trampled where you could see where they nested in, but no sign of them when we were there. Noise when going to our stands? "much noise"! but need to figure out how to get around this, since the leaves were so thick and the way the deer trampled the corn, was nearly impossible to get though without noise. Cutting through the back side of the tree line and clearing a way through it, may be our best bet, if we do it now. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!!
The last week in October through the second maybe the third week in November is when I’ve killed most of my big bucks. During the last of our bow season through muzzleloader season is great here.
Dude i know you hunt up north and they got great deer up there but there are parts of the south that have great deer too and you centralized around every part on the us besides the south. Which to me is slightly unacceptable when your as big as you are.
I have kille 4 bucks over 140" three of them killed on nov 11 and one on nov5. In pennsylvania it is hot every year betwenn oct 25- nov 12.
Central Pennsylvania hunter here thank you always look forward to your informative information gets the blood pumping for the season definitely turn on the bell indicter so you guys know when he has content on the Chanel thanks again sir.
Would you consider cloud cover for days suddenly giving way to a sunny sky an extreme weather change as well? I have noticed a lot of deer movement from days of overcast when the sun shows itself.
i must be getting lucky i just walk in sit and see plenty of buck n doe without any extra hassle
It’s a 12 month ordeal.. I love it..!
Me too Brian...even better with getting Diane more involved more now 🙂 Enjoy the Sunday!
im staying out of the thick bedding until nov 1. i live in southern mi. hunt extremely high pressure stateland. should i jus get into the bedding early am for pre rut or stay on acorn ridges until they are locked up with doe?
I’m trying to hunt a 15 pointer in Wisconsin and is 7+ but after September 4th he disappeared what do I do now?

@@inkdhntr6994 awesome to hear and good luck to you to this season - thank you!
As I'm looking at the forecast for the next 2 weeks the temperature changes only look to be 6-8 degree drops at most. What are your thoughts on that?

I cannot tell you how much I learn from this TH-cam channel!!
Good stuff. Totally agree
Thank you very much... appreciate your feedback!
Your a great guy appreciate your work
When is the pre rut in southern ohio?
Definitely around the first of November...about a week later than MI, WI, MN, the Dakotas, NY, VT, NH, etc...
Thanks for the tips, great advice
Just watched, I like what you have to say. I'm ALL IN!
Great information can you give me an idea of a realistic time in South Carolina upstate
Yes if it’s warm or hot deer may not move till nighttime on account of it being cooler.
Real good info and vid Jeff!
Thanks s lot Dan, hope it helps you during the rut this year!
That is a 8 year old in the video at the end looks like a 3 year old to me
You have any tips for Mississippi deer hunter during the rut season
For some reason in northern Maine where I hunt the does are far and few between and we usually see them getting bred around Nov 18th. 5 hrs South in central maine where there is way more deer the rut seems to kick off a week or so sooner. Not sure why, possibly day light difference because it gets darker sooner up there?
Jason Huntley that’s good. You probably have a nice dominant buck around. The big bucks don’t like a lot of pressure from does early before the rut. It’s more competition for food. I would hunt that northern area earlier and the southern area more towards rut.
What is the weather forecast chart you use (1:24)? I've used it in the past but cannot find it on the web again. HELP!
Greatest forecasting tool ever! Unfortunately, the company, Intellicast, was bought by WeatherUnderground in Jan,which also use to be decent. Problem w/ WU is they were acquired by WeatherChannel couple years back. And then they were bought by IBM. Sooo, long story short, the big companies look for little gems, think they know everything and proceed to screw up the little niche company to fit thier "efficient" model....which means they have loaded so much tracking that its impossible to click thru and u now get bombarded w/ ads. Ive searched high & low for a decent app and have not found any. For whats its worth, my goto for reliable 5 day forecast is a very small market local TV station. Of course they lack any of the historical data. But they are more accurate than big city tv/radio. If u do find an app, , I'd really apprecite the info. Good luck this season!!
Great video Jeff!
Thanks a lot Jim! Really hope it helps a lot 🙂
Do you have advise for hunters that share hunting land, in my case 80 acres with multiple hunters? I only have 2 different stand locations and the other areas are spoken for.
Mike Mushlock y'all need to agree not to shoot "young bucks" letm mature, get as many pics that u can to determine the age and buck to doe ratio, nothing wrong w taking out a few does r " cull bucks"
Kind of a small world I hunt on Severance road in Michigans thumb near the same river. Great tips I learned a few new tips thank you. My problem is the trespassers amd road hunters
Small world is right. I've hunted within 1/2 mile of there since 1979.
What websites do you use for weather?
What would your opinion be on a big drop in temperatures accompanied with heavy winds?
Depends on temp range, if you go from 65 to 45 then it is a good day to hunt they will move. If it is from 35 -10 degrees then there is a good chance you will find them bedded in a thicket. Heavy wind is always hard to hunt mature deer.
Did you place those vine looking things that they lick? What are they?
Mathew did you find out about the vine looking things the deers be licking?
