You do know that the deer edit the season regs pamphlets for wfwd so they know exactly when to be around and what day to head out to wherever they go on vacation come opening hahaha
Yeah this year's going to leave me in a hell of a tough spot I got a bad knee I need surgery I'm trying to put it off for the end of the season and just get some cortisone shots until deer season's over but it's going to put me in a position I can't walk places that I wanted to get to normally so I'm going to try to use my boat this year a little more than I would have the bad part about where I hunt there isn't a lot of public land with really good access to the rivers there is a lot close to me but it's one of those deals with the river so shallow I'm not necessarily shallow but hard to access because the banks are so high when the water is down the banks are 20 foot up and hard to get up so I'm going to have to try to find some spots that I can access from that like little Creeks that go in and out of this small River and I'm also on my own so I have to deal with the boat the trailer and the truck drag and deer putting them on a deer cart so it's going to be a bit of a challenge I think I probably won't be able to do the same amount of hunting that I used to do but it might put me in a position to hunt totally different than I ever had before so we'll see exactly how this works I definitely ain't going to be able to hunt anywhere where there's normally people cuz I can't out walk them I can't walk back past where they would normally hunt so I'm going to have to find pieces of property that I can access the people aren't hunting maybe real small blocks closer to the road that people Overlook but the way I look at it is at least I'll be out deer hunting even a bad day of deer hunting it's better than a good day sitting on your ass at home
I've been using creative access to get into public land honey holes for at least 5 years and I can honestly say that the number of people who are doing the same thing is increasing. Every time I come across someone on public land who has hip waders or a boat, the conversation come back to the hunting public channel. Last year I went to speed scout a river spot of mine in MN. I got there and immediately 4 hunters in a duck boat pull up and head into the land I was going into. I quickly jumped to plan B and went to another river spot that I had scouted in the summer.It was kind of late so I didn't have time to get a stand up. Long story short, I shot my first buck from the ground in that spot. The ability to adapt is key. Thanks Hunting Public. Keep it up!
I know some people will complain about the ad but if we want this channel to survive and have content year to year, they need those. Keep up the sponsors
I don't hunt public much but your points are also very valid for private hunting too. While "public Access" may not be an issue on private, taking into consideration your neighbors access points is very important. Also going with the "my tree" despite what the most recent information may be telling you is a problem I think a lot of folks (public or private) create for themselves. As always LOVE the content. Keep it coming!
I've watched every single video you guys have put out since season 1 of Midwest whitetail. Used to fast forward through that to public land segments. The ad didn't bother me at all. Make a living guys. Do what is necessary. I hate too see you get hammered for one damn add. You can't please everyone. If you try that it usually fails. I feel like you get undo pressure for zero ads. Not totally fair. I won't stop watching. I'd rather see a few ads than see you guys go under and disappear.
Thanks for the great tips guys. I'm leaving the comfort of my private farm to take on a new challenge of hunting public this year. You guys have been a great source for tactics and inspiration to take this leap. Thanks for what you do!!!
haven't bow hunted in like 10/12 years , been watching your show's , I learned a lot thanks' guy's now I need to dust off my gear and get out there, sure will be nice to get out the bow:), gun hunting is a lot of fun , I like the long shot , sneak and shoot . keep up the great work , and video's God Bless You all
My frustration as a mom that archery hunts whitetail in Oklahoma with my young son and when we get in at a reasonable good time and are set up have deer we’ve worked so hard to get in on and then have hunters that are showing up repeatedly for a “evening sit” and are stomping in literally 1-2 hours before last light if not later and blow are hunt by making insane amounts of racket etc and will even set up right behind us even when we make it clear there is someone set up right there etc and it happens nearly every time we go even with walking further out to harder to get to places these people here will absolutely follow you and are happy to try to annoy you out of hunting there and it’s hard when I’m trying to pass on the love of hunting to my kids and they watch grown men behave so crappy even to a child and we do all the leg work and scout many locations have plan a b c d so on and avoid full parking areas but too many other people aren’t considerate enough to say hey I won’t be going in an area so late with clearly several other hunters already in there and you never know where they may be before you’ve bumped all the deer they were in. If you guys ever want to come to central Oklahoma and give me a hand some advice see what we are working with we would love the advice cause I’m out of ideas! Been four seasons of the exact same problems.
Public land challenge PA. Chapman state park would be an awesome campsite for yall, talk to the park rangers they may give you a discount for the advertisement on youtube. If not there try buckaloons or kinzua would be good spots as well.
Sounds like you made this video from last year's deer tour in Michigan, laughing.......... I think the best thing out of this informative video is that all of these things make us better hunters all around. We've all been there did that so many times that if you're still doing it then it's your own fault. I think that by you guys being so willing to share your experiences and not just the harvesting that the THP crew is on the top of everyone's favorite hunting videos. As always be safe and stay healthy my friend.
Im new to public hunting. My grandma passed away several years ago that had hunting land. I have went to some public areas with no luck. All i have is gun season no bow. Any more tips you may have for beginners to public hunting
#6 Hunting public land in NC. Don't bother unless you are literally the first person within that section of land on the very first day of bow season. Otherwise you don't have a chance. The deer have already been pushed come noon and are on private land.
I don't need home security during hunting season. I find the best home security is staying broke because of a hunting addiction. That way all the stuff worth stealing is with you while you hunt. Thanks though.
Shot more deer within three hundred feet of the road then anywhere, many almost in the ditch, no reason to hike a half mile just to find others, or drag a deer for half a day, deer have to travel across roads and many times stop next to or on roads and aren't running, and most ditch habitat is thick and perfect for blind cover
I moved to Iowa 2 years ago from Wyoming for the military and have been itching to go hunting. But the more research I do the more confusing I become. Do I need to go through a hunters ed course? I've hunted plenty in Wyoming and when I look at the ed courses pages, they sound like they are primarily for first time hunters and youth. Does anyone know if I need to hunters course?
More hunters the better. The ones going back to there trucks at 10 am are spooking deer that might walk past me. The ones that think they can can sneak up on deer run them deer past me. The ones coming back in the woods at 4 pm are again moving the deer that might pass me. Nobody talks about this. I shot many a deer between 10 am and 2 pm because I stay in the tree.. Everybody thinks they don't move in the day time. If your at your truck you for sure won't see em.. Do a video on that. When I use to hunt a Army base in Indiana there was so many hunters moving around you saw deer all day. If you didn't see 20 deer something was wrong. Also I have seen does follow hunters out of the woods and my first deer was a doe and she was following the guy that was with me going back to his truck. Last year I came out of the woods and got to my truck and started talking to a forest ranger and he said look there's a doe following you .
MONETIZE GENTS! That simple. You will never win the market that you are truly after by trying to please everyone, and that is completely OK. Keep up the great work, plenty of us support your efforts and are more importantly, thankful for the help as we hunt conservation/public land.
This is really good, practical, usable info. Thanks guys! I hunt public land 100% of the time in a state where THP will admit is pretty darn challenging, Mississippi. For almost FIVE years I banged my head against the walls in frustration unable to find consistent success (mature bucks). Then I slowly came to appreciate a couple of the very same principles discussed in this video. First, you MUST go where other hunters either can't or won't go to be successful over the long haul. Yes, you can kill a monster beside the parking lot once a decade, but to be successful year in, year out you've got to be where other hunters aren't. And the single BEST feature I've found for disinguishing those places is WATER! Cross a creek, wade through 1/2 mile of swamp, take a small boat out to that island or to the "other side," paddle a kayak a mile down the river. Sometimes it's as simple as wearing knee boots to cross a shallow channel. One other thing I've learned: Hunt in the THICK stuff! The REALLY thick stuff. Don't get obsessed with finding "perfect" places that provide 360 degrees open shooting. In those thick places will be travel corridors where deer feel safe getting to and from. Set up in there, even if the only shot is a 6" lane when the deer is walking southeast. The more clautrophobic and restricted you feel, the more comfortable that buck feels. Sorry for the long comment! Good luck! Remember, there are deer on that public land. Go find em!
@Nooneinparticular987 ABSOLUTELY! On private land you can manage the property, provide food sources, keep pressure low...plenty of control over the envronment. Public land...not so. You cannot bring the deer to you. You have to go find them. And that's why I consider public land hunting the only REAL hunting. If you're luring deer in, it's not hunting in the strictest sense. It's still totally fine - got no problem with it. But public land deer hunting requires something different, and I like it. (although several times each season when I'm in a slump I start feeling sorry for myself and ask, "why in heck do I do it this way???") LOL.
@Nooneinparticular987 Sir, we are kindred spirits. I agree with everything you said 100%. Managing property to make it easier to fill the freezer is totally fine. I want to feed my family with as much wild game as possible, for many reasons. But when my goal is to test myself against an animal that's managed to survive for 3.5 million years, I take a bow and head to the public lands where I have to do things on their terms. If you're ever in Mississippi, look me up!
You guys are spot on. However, over the years I've noticed less and less hunters in the woods. With less hunters comes less pressure and less people pushing or driving deer to the real thick areas. I notice most hunters set up in areas easy to walk to. This new area I'm currently hunting is thick and I'm lucky if I have a 10-15 yard shot, but there's a thick swamp nearby with a heavy game trail and it's surrounded by thorn trees, pricker bushes, and lots of tall grass/weeds. I'm gonna have to bring my safety goggles out tomorrow and I'm gonna cross that creek and make my way through all the thorns to this downed tree with it's roots up so I can set up there. I saw 8 deer yesterday use this trail going into this area. Where I was hunting no shot on them but I'm gonna go in and hope for the best. If I bag one, dragging that sucker out is gonna be worse than death, lmao.
This really motivates me to push myself harder out there. I'm in michigan and the marshy stuff is the real hard stuff to get through. I'm gonna push harder and get myself a trophy
@@guitarrwd Go get 'em! It's difficult. Very, very difficult. Just look at how hard the THP guys work. They have dedicated their lives to the effort of consistently taking good bucks on public land in many different regions, under countless different circumstances. They even work in teams and hunt day after day. Most of us don't have that opportunity, but we can apply the lessons they've learned to increase out odds! I'll say it again: Get to where other hunters won't go. Ask yourself this question: "If I were being hunted in this-that habitat, where would I go to maximize my chances of never being seen?" Answer that question and 50% of the work is done. Good luck!
Hey folks listen to what these guys have to say. I've used there advice for 2 years and I have gotten 3 nice bucks and some doe,s for my freezer. There knowledge is invaluable. Also go to there website and support them by buying some thp merchandise. Ill support THP all i can.thanx for another great instructional video.
Public land by me is full of roads no piece is more than a mile thick and all marshes that use to be good , have now been 6 ft of water last few years, and hiking paths right through middle of all if it and if thats not enough little dirt roads bring ya right back into middle of each one , no way to get away from anyone. Ive got lucky few times but its rare
I get bored and i like to still hunt. I like seeing new country and i do find what i would consider a lot of good deer sign. I do hunt these spots for hours without moving but i always think to myself i walk around to much. Do any of you ever feel like i do?
Not anymore, old age changed that. My advise is, go painfully slow, stop look and listen alot. And alway be mindful of the wind. Opportunity will eventually present itself. Best to do on windy days or during and after rain.
I have seen numerous ads for Simply Safe - if I were to buy it, it would be due to how well it was explained in this video. Even the rationale was something that could be related to - excellent job. My biggest public land complaint is when I think I have figured out the spot that everyone else will overlook - only to find that someone else is as smart as I think I am. Thanks for your insight. Now, if you guys could only figure out the Target Tour... :)
I live in Colorado and in order to get into good hunting herer you have to work really hard so I've applied those to the Midwest to the Eastern plains of Colorado andvery little effort in comparison has a lot of reward.
Shout out to all the public land hunters who set up ground blinds and tree stands in the dark on opening morning right next to the ag fields. I appreciate you guys running the deer back to my spots.
Me and a bunch of other hunters were driving the deer out of public land and into private land. We helped out the landowners quite a bit based on the shots and dogs going off.
Please please please don't start going down the rabbit hole of 5 minute ads on every video! I understand y'all need to pay the bills but it seems every original show gets compromised a few years in and goes to shit fast!!
I don't know, rather have it in the video so I can skip ahead if the offer doesn't interest me... but now I'm actually thinking about getting that security system.
I'd normally skip right over those ads, but I watched every second of this one. These guys are putting out superb content and if a short ad at the begin of a video means I get it, so be it.
That second rut in December been working for me in the last few years pretty good , especially on public fewer hunters and a lot bucks on the move still it's worth it to save a few vacation days for that late hunt you will be surprised . Just don't get discourage thinking all the big bucks get shot on the gun opener because that's not always case yeah some do but you will be surprised the ones that don't I used to think that years back but I was I so wrong back then .
Ok public land friends....I'm going to share a GREAT tip with you: If you're hunting areas with heavy pressure and you find it difficult to get a long way from "the crowd," then make sure you are the EARLY BIRD. Since you pretty much know where "the crowd" hunts, get there one full hour before them, and find a different access to the general area. Get settled as quickly and quietly as possible. Then, when "the crowd" starts to arrive you will be in position for any deer that they spook on the way in. It's worked for me dozens of times over the years, and It will work for you, too! Come in from a slightly different angle, get into position, and when the other hunters start making their way to their spots you WILL see deer that they bump! Good luck!
two years of getting skunked in SE michigan public land. solid advice. For me, the biggest learning curve is seeing all these big ol booner bucks on youtube, and lots of smaller deer on my hunts. Some places just dont produce booners. must have let 2 dozen walk last year because of this mindset of always wanting something bigger
California road hunters, have all the camo and gear but don’t even head into the thick just think they’ll see deer next to roads, they do get lucky, but shoot at deer where ppl might be inside
Idk about Florida but in NY, there aren't any signs but you can hunt on most state land. Check with whatever state government department regulates hunting, I bet it's probably the same there.
Great video you guys, I love listening to your tips and advice for hunting, whether it be turkey hunting or deer hunting, I’ve had a few influencers in my life that’s helped me become a better Hunter before, but you guys have played a big part in me getting a deer last season and a turkey this season. Keep up the great work guys.
Thank you guys for showing Public Land and travel hunts as something attainable to all of us. I know personally that your videos got me to travel 3 times last fall and I'll be doing that every year now, and expanding it to mule deer and elk. In my archery club I would bet thanks to your crew, the number of hunters planning out of state public land hunts has tripled over the last 2 years, so the message is definitely being heard. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge, and the process throughout the year. For sponsors, good for you. You all work so hard to provide content, congratulations on finding a sponsor that meshes with your lifestyle without controlling the gear you use. THP shows "Hunting is FUN!"
👍 First tip is a good one ! - I hunted a public area once, before watching this. I couldn't wait and brimming with excitement, got in well before daylight and quietly settled in. Soon the woods would be waking up and all the gifts nature has to offer would slowly reveal themselves. It was my favorite time, as dew lifted and the sounds of life emerge. Or so I thought. An hour AFTER the sun came up, the first of endless hunters started making their way past my tree, in search of their elusive quarry. They stomped in circles until noon (they were 'still' hunting I guess), then most stomped back to their respective trucks and beer coolers. A few seemed to hunt in pairs, so they could enjoy loud conversation, while stalking. The entertainment for me was seeing the look of defeat on their faces, as they did laps around my stand, reasoning that no deer resided in that part of the county. One hunter (and I use that term with hesitation) even marched by at 15 yards, pausing to take a leak, then opted to fling an arrow "at" an unsuspecting beer can he found nearby, to hone his shooting skills. Two others, I got to know well, even though they never saw me. They spread out within sight of each other, (one under me) and stayed in close communication via radios. They kept each other abreast of all movement they spotted during the days hunt, as well as discussed work, spirts and their distain for their small kids and big wives. No bothering with whispering, since deer can't hear. My favorite had to be the "prepared" hunter, who walked in wearing slacks, casual loafers and a brand new camo t-shirt and hat. He grasped a new hang-on tree stand (no ladder or steps) and a camping stool. He carried a bow from the mid 60's and his quiver kept falling off, spilling his three arrows, one with a field point. On his belt was a variety of deer calls, knives, hatchet, compass, depth finder, safety glasses and several accessories he didn't need. He also sported an orange/black camo school backpack, complete with tupperware containers to secure the rotisserie chicken, potato salad, steamed veggies and what appeared to be Baked Alaska for dessert. After dining on a log, his departure was marked by the jingling of his minivan keys with every step. Of all these mighty outdoorsmen, only one knew I was there the entire time and that's only because of his decision to select a nearby spot upwind, remove Charmin from fanny pack and squat under a tree. At this point I whistled, revealing my covert ambush spot and thwarting his intended blissful deposit. Sadly, I too saw no deer (or squirrels, or birds) that morning, and decided to relocate for the afternoon sit. No buck that afternoon either, although I saw does and other wildlife, which was a treat. Yeah, it was lonely that afternoon in comparison and lacked the aforementioned entertainment, but man!, was it nice.
It's the worst, especially when you have limited time to hunt. You do your best to get in early then the late comers show up and ruin it all. Or set up so their wind burns your sit. So frustrating. I have written on my tailgate dust, "you are late, don't ruin my hunt" a couple times, but still saw people. Maybe they didn't see my message, and it's public so it isn't mine, but still. If I see a truck I do everything in my power to avoid that area. I feel like a metal map in the parking area with small magnets to show your intended hunting spot would be cool.
@@guitjolin Great magnetic map idea ! Not only would it kerp hunters separated (ideally), but would be a good safety tool. But, like everything, if someone showed up and stole the magnets, or scrambled them.. Well, you know how some thugs act.
@@randyporter3491 yeah the safety aspect was a big reason I thought about it too. The idea of, you don't know where I am, I don't know where you are, is a big deal. And yes of course people would steal the magnets and shoot the signs. But if it happened, I would have a bag full of cheap magnets to use. I think it would be sweet for public land. Good luck out there!
@@guitjolin I agree, and still like your idea. A fellow fireman I hunted with for years, had his tree stand slip and fall once. It dumped him, but left him hanging by one foot, upside down. That day, he was hunting alone. He managed to get out after an hour or so, but no one knew where he was. It could have been really bad that day. I did the same thing, but hugged the tree going down. My fault, it was an icy tree and too small. Took all the skin off both hands and one cheek. Funny thing was, the noise of me falling, caused the buck to come running in to investigate and I managed to get my gun up and got the deer, while bleeding all over the gun. Valuable lesson learned. Be safe !
The metal map idea is great. I think it's definitely worth looking further into. For using tree stands, I avoid them. I have almost fallen once and it scared the poo into my underpants. I only hunt on the ground now or if anything, I'll use a sturdy built elevated stand/platform but that's it. Also, that story of all the other hunters coming out had me rolling, lmao, it would be upsetting for me but also entertaining. The only time I got really pissed off at another hunter was when I was hunting public land in Ohio in Chillicothe. I set up a deadfall blind and was out there at 2:30pm. Around an hour or so later this other hunter comes out there and is standing behind me about 50-75 yards. I saw him and I knew he seen me, it's gun season and I'm 100% orange. Had 3 does come out to a small opening near me. As I'm slowing raising my shotgun up to take aim, this guy decides it's now time to go and spooked the does off. I was fricken fuming! I never did have a chance to hunt there again for deer but I had great success hunting other public lands in Ohio for coyotes, which I did at 12am with a full moon and snow on the ground. Sometimes I just can't understand why or how these other hunters think. For me, it's an unwritten rule, if I see orange, I turn and go back. I don't hunt there if I see a vehicle unless I knew the general direction the hunter went like footsteps in the snow or something and I'll go in the opposite direction. I wish all hunters had that mentality but sadly they don't and some of them can be the worse people you can imagine.
I know you guys hunt New York but I think ya’all should get more north East in the big woods like New Hampshire and Maine. It would be very interesting to see how you guys break down woods like that. Deer that are not influenced by agriculture
Public land hunter here in SE Oklahoma... I’ve been guilty of all 5 you’ve mentioned and decided to change things up (after watching and learning from you guys) this past hunting season... seen more deer than I have ever seen and had a close encounter with a very mature buck (that got chased off by a big coyote lol). Keep up all the tips and the encouragement as there were times in being so predictable that I used to be lucky to see 5 deer in a season and it would be very frustrating. But being flexible and enjoying the hunt in constantly learning and actually seeing results (by being flexible and different when everyone hunts in my area of the state), it all has really opened my eyes and I am enjoying the outdoors even more. Hoping to get my first archery deer this upcoming season! Keep it up THP!
I use to get grief from my son for hiking back in public land but as he grew up he realized why i did it less pressure we saw much more game and consistent seeing game was a bonus for our effort. Takecare and keep safe.
Positivity - great one to end on guys. Looking forward to a great deer tour and hopeful what I've learned from you guys over the past couple seasons will once again pay off this fall! Good luck THP crew!
I love hunting several public area's near me. Especially this one that's 1,000 acres because there are the easy routes that just about everyone else takes then the hard to get to thick places that I get into. It's given me chances and experiences those others can't have!!
Good to see you guys ,, and finally got to see mindy in the daylight,,not dragging deer ,,, not cooking for six staved hunters , facing the camera and not editing at some little table , this is like the third time that mindy was actually facing the camera and talking to us , a real treat and then ,,the camera goes blurry,,what the heck was that , y’all cameras don’t never go blurry on deers , or turkeys , anyway I think now if I ever ran in to her at a grocery store or somewhere, I think that I could safely say ,,,hello mindy.ohhh and Greg I am old enough to be her grandpa so this is not what you might think,ha ha ha
Comment : "people aren't willing to go up and back down elevation changes" Me: "I live it Utah, so anything under a 1000 foot elevation gain is an "easy access spot" :) Great tips though, I liked it.
Excellent advice. 62 y/o guy here and I'm still learning. It's what makes it fun to put meat in the freezer. Also, your vocal tone is great. AND,....you two dont speak with a constant INFLECTIVE at the end of each sentence. Other people drive me away. Bores right through a person. Everyone else...BE DECLARATIVE!!!!dammit. Thanks and good hunting.
I have a gripe about access, or the lack of, to parts of public lands. Old Sabine Bottom WMA near Lindale and Richland Creek WMA east of Corsicana, Texas are prime examples. They are ginormous and all the big bucks and hogs are on the east ends of these two areas. I have the luxury of being able to hunt during the middle of the week when all the other hunters are working. Regretfully I don't own a boat or a kayak and cannot capitalize on having the place to myself. Guess I'll be getting a kayak now. And let me tell yall about discouragement...I hunt only hogs. On public lands during the day without bait or dogs. That is THE hardest way to do it. Who in the hell can afford to go helicopter hog hunting? I have about a 12-105 win-loss record. I am the Cleveland Browns of pig hunters. But I keep going because there is no other thrill just like doing a mag dump on a sounder of hogs!
Question🤔🤔🤔I found a place but there wasn't any opening for the public land. My GPS gave me the right location, I just didn't see anywhere to go in and hunt🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️1st time
If you live in TN and hunt public land you won't see many people because there is no more game on public lands in this state. The worthless TWRA has killed off the hunters because they pass regulations that makes it harder for hunters to be successful and also their main concern is to make money not on what is best for the animal populations or increasing habitat. They only care about getting more money and do nothing for it.
I usually fear parking away from the main parking lot because I worry about my vehicle being vandalized while in the woods. I've had a friend get his car broken into while at Mark Twain Forest hunting. Suggestions?
I have several questions and hope you can help. I am watching your channel, and from all of the other Pro's and I do consider all of you Pro's. I see very little sent free or sent inhibiting clothing or even on your hunts where showering is not near. The others say this can't be done, and no face masks and yes you know all the rest. Yet your team and family are AWESOME I need some of your help so any info please help with all of this. Tee height clothing sometimes no rubber boots etc. If you want I can send email add. God Bless Have a safe and Healthy Christmas Frank K
Hard to jump in and cross creeks/ rivers in Florida, especially at dark LOL. Long time subscriber and love the content but I still know my surroundings…
Great tips guys! I know that I fall into that category of finding one spot and hitting it hard all season. Definitely something I'll have to work on this season. Appreciate the info!
Bs! We travel 5miles in away from everyone and come back empty handed while everyone at camp hunker by the road and 100yrds from camp are hanging deers every year! Maybe it’s just our luck? Lol
My question is, I want to hunt this public area that is bow only and very rarely EVER used. It's stand up stand down (portable only). So that tells ya no1 ever hunts it. I know the deer out there are huge cuz I pass the place on the way to and from work (hence I know it's never used). The woods is very very thick. I don't have a portable stand. I was thinking about going out there and hunting on the ground. What do you think the chances are that the deer are using the fire lane for travel?
Around the east coast where I lived there WAS no public land. All private and none available for hunting. So it is when a new neighbor moved in and asked about hunting I told him of the only available hunting area anyplace close. Told him when he arrived he is going to freak cause cars are parked bumper to bumper and the world is crawling with hunters. Dont fret. Its as important here to know people's habits, not just deer. Get a topo, find a quadrant with a field deep inside the quadrant and you hunt that quadrant. Carry a compass. When you get there, drive around the quadrant till you find a parking spot on the downwind side someplace and find out where you are on that map. Take a compass reading of where that field is inside the quadrant your hunting and follow that heading to your goal. When you enter the woods dont even think of being quiet. Just walk your way on your heading the first 100 yards. In that first hundred yards are 99.9% of the hunters. They hang out at the outskirt of the woods and with that crowd all the deer have run for their lives into the center of quadrant. At about a hundred yards, pause to load up, arrange your load and start your hunt. The vast bulk of hunters are behind you. The vast bulk of deer are ahead of you. Good luck. He returned with two bucks. He said it was exactly as I told him. After another hundred yards he slowly sneaks up on a small field and there in front of him was deer galore. He had a great day and was much more pleased than he was expecting from his first impression of the place.
Who made the decision to put the AD in the beginning of the video? Bad call. Like you guys and your videos, but not enough to whatch 2 plus minutes of paid advertisements. Pretty much trashed the video. Skip.
I'm in need of a new tree stand. I have a old hand-me-down and it's good if I want to hunt them 2 sense deer but that 8 year old gone the second that thing creeks. But I'm a big guy 280pounds 6'3". I need a bigger seat so my ass and my back stops hurting do bad. Recommendations?
Public land is ugly with pressure and people who don't have a clue. I see guys every year, head down, walking as fast as they can. Scaring everything within view or hearing distance of them, and these guys don't even see what they're doing.
Y’all should see how F up hunting is in California. You have to hike miles in the craziest topography for bucks only . It’s no bueno on public land out here.
Hey I’m a 16 year old hunter and I’m learning I’ve never killed a mature buck and I was wondering if y’all could help me get my first mature buck and public land deer it would be awesome
You need to do a video on how to not get lost in the dark on public property especially when you don't have a good cell signal. I funds this the hardest party of hunting public
Also remember, driving an hour or more from home doesnt mean youre in a secluded area. Youre just in a hundred other guys local spot that may have been beat to death. Go where people arent going is the main thing.
I saw very little blaze orange being worn, should i wear it or no? Maybe just an orange cap. I'm in Texas, i'd like to remain hidden but don't want to get shot either
