July Deer Hunting Chores 

you mentioned late august for West V/ Kentucky area, how about Georgia? me and alot of my buddies watch your show.

Blahhhh...im so far behind on gear details....got my 2nd year landwork goals sealed up...but my rangefinder died stil havent had the dough to replace it.. my bowstring is down to threads..and i have 3 arrows.... Pitiful...i shoot every day sept for occaisional miss day..100 shots a day , all year..for 25 years..a full blown tuning rack by sofa..target down the hall for night shootin while listening to eps of bowhunting vids in the background archery nutjob...lol..yea..im divorced..usually relistening to one of your vids ive seen 10 times or Midwest whitetail eps ive seen 10 times in background..i cant be the only one this sick ! Still love it like my first bowhunt..i shoot 1 arrow at time...i shoot then go retrieve that arrow and shoot again..exact same arrow , so at 20 yards im looking for the same hole fixed broadhead or field tip..i am the only variable...and get kinda salty if im off and cant at least put the same arrow in quarter size group at 20..if your using the same exact arrow even if a cheap arrow..shot thru a cheap bow(was pse cheapest adult offering, something like firestorm or similar name and a random arrow pulled from a pile) 20 years ago with a hooter shooter machine would shoot same hole at 20..the shop owner that showed me that...gave me the 1 arrow idea..you shoot...then instead of just pulling another arrow and shooting...usually making same shot as last 1...ever notice how often you say hit left side of 10 ring then next shot is exact same place on dif spot when shooting ends..instead you walk down ..think about the shot on the way..what went wrong, right, what felt dif if the shot wasnt perfect..where was my pin when it broke..slows practice...keeps bowhand from gettin into a rut..a little time between each shot allows your grip set to feel closer to the first shot of the day each time like it feels after sittin in stand for hours not shootin..kinda like the only shot that matters is the cold shot...and allows me to shoot as much as i like without getting tired...plus i stay in shape...and i will shoot that arrow until i loose it or break it on non passthru..usually shoot a shaft thru 2 or 3 deer then ill hangup in a shoulder ...lol....nail a deer to an oaktree...and break my number 1 shaft...while i keep at least one backup shaft in quiver ready..that i know will hit same spot...once i start shooting a new arrow i may 1 click down or up left or right to fine tune that arrow and shoot only it until it breaks...by shooting 1 arrow..your legs may get tired, i can walk a path in grass to a dirt trail in 1 session at 20. But you can shoot long time without creepin or collapsing..and really mentally pick apart what you do right and what needs work between shots.....that old man also told me compound shooting is a thinking mans game...and when you fly perfect arrow flight , it is art...and sexy as hell 😜...i dont compete so no need to be able to shoot 3 arrows back to back for me...its all for the hunt..give it a try !..have a safe 4th everyone🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸let FREEDOM ring

Another tip start getting your freezer ready to stock full of meat. The price of meat is going to go up as well so might wanna start thinking about being prepared for whats coming

Good Memories! I still like shooting long distance this time of year. There is something to watching the flight /arc of the arrow - sometimes it's like watching the flight in slow motion. See you soon!

What brand of tree sticks/ladders do you use?

when do you recommend i go check my cameras in the off season

Jeff, can you put simizene down in the pre green up time on 2nd or third yr switch that has some weeds?

Waiting for the wife to get ready now to go shoot our bows and put a few cams out .

Thanks Jeff!

Hi Jeff quick question can you mic chicory with brassica side. Of plot? Plan on mixing John Compton sweet brass 1/2 acre with 1/4 tillage radish and 1/4 chicory good idea or not?

Pretty cool you have bear and grouse in southeast Minnesota. I am only used to them being in the northern half of Minnesota.

Can I buy those broadheads that you have for a crossbow? Or are they just for compound bows?

This is a great video to be honest all your videos have been very informative. Do you have any camera recommendations ? cell and non cell. Defiantly won't hold you too it just looking for recommendations.

What can you do for Chores if you're hunting on public land Is other than shooting your bow

Never too early to practice QUALITY practice. NOW is the time to make sure ALL YOUR archery equipment is in perfect condition. For those with rain or irrigation systems so the plots will grow need to start working on the ground. Patterning deer now for the most part is wasted time unless you have a high fence and the deer are basically pets coming to timed feeders. No patterning needed there.

Jeff is it too late to plant more buckwheat. Finally getting rain in Missouri. Trying to salvage buckwheat for no till in August. Thanks!!!

How do we get some of those hats!?

love deer chores

I love the monthly chores always something I can improve on or do different and these really help I just screenshot the white board and use it as a checklist thanks

Just got my new broadheads in the mail on Friday! I’m gonna be shooting them and tuning them today!!

So crazy when you mentioned Broadhead league I knew you were talking about Oakland county sportsmens club I used to be a member there and shot that league live about 10 mins away!

I need to add a staircase to my elevated hunting blind. I add the new door 2 weeks ago. Is it to late to add the staircase?

First

First ?

Thanks for reminding me about broadheads. I’m about to order some more g5. Best broadheads for tough animals

I'd love for you to call out public vs private chores, where nessecarry. I recently lost my lease so I'm trying to figure out how to implement your tactics on public land.

I have property in Florida. Can these apply there too?

Jeff what's the most inert matter you would want in a seed bag

Thanks for the reminders Jeff

Well friday I seen a lot of deer on M24heading to lapeer about 7pm around 72 degrees a lil bit of rain when it's been hot high 80s low 90s just wish I had better hunting days on the weekends during hunting season the work I do it's almost impossible to get days off during the week but it dont stop me from trying lol thanks really enjoy your tutorial videos its amazing how well you know white tails every time I see them in the woods or fields I think jeff knows what he does a true specialist in his craft

Here in mid Michigan surrounded by big ag if I should be offering the same food in my food plots is the something that’s best for my small parcel if I can’t do your buckwheat no til system because my plots are too small? Some type of clover or just rye maybe? Thanks for all your help in these videos and keeping us on track!

Oakland County Sportsmens club! I had a membership there and I loved it! I really enjoyed shooting in their indoor archery range in the winter!

July is spraying soybeans time for us in Northern Maine...and start prepping fall food plots...let them green up, and then spray them for Brassica plantings...or other fall plantings

Began using MUZZY back in 93 . When my buddy missed target and put it through the door of a 76 Monte Carlo

Never shot a hybrid or a mechanical. What is the practice process with those? I practice with my fixed broadheads all the time and yes I eat a lot of foam! But how are you pulling mechanicals out of the foam? Or are you pushing all the way through?

Had a microburst come through last week. Treetops down all over. Will be interesting to see what happens. No way I’m going to get it straightened out.

Thanks Jeff. Always great info

Hope you have a great 4th, Jeff!! Out fishing this morning..please forgive me!! 😂

What target do you use to shoot your broadheads??

Keep the videos coming love them.

How much value do you put on turkey population on a property? I don’t think I’ve ever seen a quail on our land, but we always have turkey. 🤔

Also need to mow new switch. Fall seeds are all bought. What settings on the Earthway for Green Forage Blend and for Clover?

Another very infoational video. Thaks Jeff!! Also trying out the same broad heads this year switching from the slick trick standards.

Hey Jeff, I’m thinking about changing broadheads. I’m looking at the Muzzy Trocar HB and the Slick Trick hybrid you mentioned in the video. I’ve been shooting grim reaper mechanicals, but the hybrid heads are intriguing. Did you have good field success with the Muzzy?

Just got in from prepping a stand site. Great video and stock footage of Venti 😭 Thanks and happy 4th ! 🦌🏹🕺🏻

On the render camera what upload interval do you have it on? My lithium ions didn’t last 2 months with my render.

Awesome video, like usual Jeff! Thanks

For me here in Oklahoma my chores consist of Filling feeders and setting stand sites, mineral sites and trim shooting lanes.

I like drilling a hole for the rope at the end of my grapevine when tying it up. Great video as always.

I've been watching your content for a long time thanks for helping me build my land but 1 question is my spring seed I'm getting destroyed by by birds and turkeys eating my no till seed I planted egyption wheat clover and buckwheat I put out a camera on the plots and birds every min what can I do sorry it's bare dirt so I used my culpackter I went up to my land last week and it has grown good but not as thick as I put out

I am on southern Va. My buckwheat thin and short and competeing with weeds. I am scared for my brassica planting. Suppose to have rain this week but buckwheat so behind. How does thin to no buckwheat affect my no till planting of brassica?

I have a question I have been putting a lot of thought into. I own and hunt a small property in NE Oklahoma. The area I am hunting does not have much hunting pressure and the numbers of deer as well as quality deer are there. I also have a pond that I stocked and keep up with maintenance around the pond. I have 9-10 bucks showing up daily including 2 really good deer already. I go out and feed my fish 2-4 times a week and doing this I have to drive by my plots and feeder. Twice in the last week I have jumped up 3 of my best bucks I have on camera. Once at 20 yards and once at 40. I know its early but how bad am I screwing up by continuing to go out to my pond? Obviously later on I will limit my visits but is there a concern right now? As of right now they are still coming back to the feeder regularly.

Waterford Hills!!! Cool place, races there are always fun. Set up a mock scrape with a vine a little over a month ago and it’s been awesome to see the deer interact with it. Next big thing on the list is getting the plots in, crossing my fingers we get some good rain here soon in Michigan.

Hey Jeff, can that slick Trick broadhead be used on a crossbow? Great videos.

I love those month you monthly chores videos lots excellent advice Jeff. I’m in the process of selecting areas for hunting and preparing some of my old areas from last year so going to be busy can’t wait. Keep up the great work Jeff and Dylan and team thank You

Great information Jeff as always. Boy your discussion in the beginning really took me back to my early days in archery. I used both the Thunderhead and Rocky Moutain broadheads back in the day, I even started out using the old razor blade type Wasps when they first came out. Shot my first buck with the original Dyna bow, not sure if you remember it, it had the single upper limb recurve and a lower limb cam. I can remember shooting the field courses with excelsior bales in Wisconsin, and we even use to have night shoots using our single pin lighted sights when they first came out. Thanks for taking me down memory lane Jeff our sport has certainly come a long way since those days and certainly for the better. Good luck this season.

I was always taught by my father shooting a handful of times maybe once a week starting in September season opening October 1st, and that your first shot would always be the best due to wearing yourself out shooting over and over again… I have had a lot of mis haps and heart breaks following his care less knowledge of bow hunting.. I honestly believe your channel has helped a lot of hunters including myself… July deer chores love the chore list Jeff for every month of the season

Really enjoy these chores videos. The work becer stops and it's good to guage that I'm on track or a bit behind!

Love your videos. Started watching you 2 years ago. Took a lot of your advice about hunting bucks and shot my biggest buck with a compound that year and shot a cull buck last year. This year I'm planting a 7 yard by 20 yard brassica plot. I am in north central OH. By what date approximately should I have my brassica seed down?

You paint a wonderful picture of the joy of preparing for bow season and why it’s so fun, awesome work

Jeff, thanks for your content. I've been watching you for several years now. I grew up in Waterford and after leaving did not hunt dear until 2020 when I moved to a new home in upstate New York with enough property to hunt on my own land. Your videos have been a great help with successful hunts two years in a row. We have an extreme over population problem that I'm trying to manage and your videos help immensely.

Thank you for keeping us informed on chores to make our hunts more effective and efficient.
