One trick I learned on the Hunting Beast is to put a piece of blaze orange clothing in the buck bed at his eye level. That way when you walk away from the bed, you can tell if you're in the buck's field of vision based on if you can see the blaze orange or not. Great show guys.
Very interesting!
if u do that .the buck will leave that spot because u left scent there.i just watched him touch that deer rub in his bed .that is snuff to make the deer nocturnal 4 the year .
We don't see deer leave the spot. However you can't get away with going in like this multiple times. You've got to go in, figure it out, and stay out until it's time to hunt. We used to worry about leaving scent and avoided these areas but were always out of the game. Then we threw it out the window one day and had tons more success since. There's obviously many ways to skin the cat but after being a part of both methods, we'll take the aggressive route almost every time.
where r guys from .
We've got a "melting pot" crew so to speak. From various states across the Midwest and East.
Thanks for sharing guys !!
Good teaching, thanks guys
This is one of your best videos you have ever made
At 2:20 that deer bed is right in the middle of a nice patch of yella root (Goldenseal). I dig a lot of it up every year and sell the roots and the tops of it. Actually y'all are in one heck of a patch I been seeing throughout this whole video. A lot of $ there.
Great video!
I like watching your videos while map scouting on OnX. When you were showing the map I instantly thought that looked familiar. I looked over at my map on OnX and I was looking at the exact same place. Thanks for saving me the scouting trip. Lol don't worry, your secret is safe with me.
Glad you enjoy it!
One of the best and most informative videos I've watched. Assuming most guy's are like it's important to be able to actually see what your explaining. Awesome video! I"ve watched you guy's from the beginning and this combination of you actually explaining in the woods with aerial maps simultaneously equals success! Keep it up! Thanks!
I have never been a very aggressive style hunter but yall are proving that it can work. Excellent tips
I really like watching your videos...you seem like a really genuine guy all around and the knowledge you give is priceless! Good luck this season!
Question...I have noticed that you guys usually get right in the deers bedding....wouldn't this leave human event causing this bed to become dormant? If so, usually how long will the deer avoid that bed before returning to it?
Scent not event
Look how young Ted looks lol
Your team does excellent work with video tutorials. Above and beyond other hunt teams.👍 your videos and OnX has changed my hunt strategy. I been 40 plus yrs. Technology has changed hunting somewhat . Thanks again. I hunt public northwest Mo.
I find these scouting videos very helpful, and I’ve been deer hunting all my life. Great job! Keep up the good work!!!
Perfect set up guys! Very similar to driftless terrain here in MN. I've scouted tons of ridges just like this
Great job guys.
Great information THANK you for sharing
Great content, thank you. I've been learning bedding areas in the swamps and Tamarac bogs here in Nor Central Mn. I appreciate the insights.
Humble ridge. You guys are lucky to have someone around teaching you with so much knowledge. I basically had to learn it all on my own. Keep it up guys
The way you break it down? Awesome. Thanks for sharing.
I learn something new every video I watch. Keep up the great work!
Great video guys it definitely took the question I asked on your last podcast and put it into better understanding than just reading a book on mapping deer.
You guys know your stuff. I myself especially early season like to sneak in when scouting and slightly bump deer not to were they completely avoid a area but to were they know something is there but unsure what find good sign up till the bump stage and when you do a bump that is the hot spot usually by late day next morning there right back and have forgotten about the encounter works like a charm early
Great detail guys!
I would like to hear your guys take on the type of property I hunt in the mountains of wv. Some of it is similar to the woods in this video, but most of the times there aren't pronounced finger ridges like those on the topo you have. 300-500' elevation changes around here are pretty common from bottom to top. Lots of room room for them to hide. I bet you guys would have some interesting ideas though. Very informative channel, and I enjoy the pub land bowhunts!
Like the mapping views showing the points. Thanks!
Awesome attention to detail. Love your videos. Keep em coming, I need all the tips I can get!
You guys are full of good info. I SHOULD draw an Iowa tag next year and can't wait to use some of your tactics. Could y'all possibly do a video on camera's you guys use and and each of their purpose? Keep up the good work!!
Good stuff
Wow guys! Fantastic and practical descriptions of how to hunt bedded bucks in ridge country. Question: most of your explanation involved moving in on bucks for evening hunts-how does your morning hunt strategy work in these same types of situations and terrain?
Another great video! keep them coming.
Great info guys, really like the transition from map to live footage of the area. Makes it easier to understand.
Students of the Big Buck Serial Killer, Dan Infalt! Scouting like this is so much easier in early spring though before leaf out....Good stuff guys!
Yes you are right! But we're chasing turkeys all spring!
The 1 dislike on this video is the 1 buck that was bedded in that bed that just heard your entire plan.
Great info man!!!
Thanks for making it look easy!!
Steve Huecker where did you get the shirt and hat???
Home Town Hunting Outdoors They will have them for sale on line soon. I got lucky and knew the guy getting them the merchandise.
Could you explain more of setting up on the off wind that gives him the favor but still allows you to set up on him
Would a change in wind direction during daylight hours cause a buck to leave his bed? Say you had a front coming in mid day and the wind goes from S to N in a matter of an hour or two.
Great stuff...how would you personally go about finding buck bedding in a relatively flat area without ridges?
Dale Crozier they have several videos where they hunt more flat, marsh type terrain and do breakdowns. They did a 4 part series called “Public Land Challenge” with the Hunting Beast and DIY Sportsman, and the guys from the hunting beast did a great job of zeroing in on a buck in a flat area with oaks and y’all grass. I would recommend going and checking that one out.
It’s always going to be about wind direction and diversity of habitat in low pressure areas. Also, if you are hunting a field, remember that they will feed on the side that stays shaded the longest in the morning and becomes shaded first in the evening. Then try to find the access points and backtrack their trails to the bedding areas. Once you know where they are coming from and where they are going, you can find a good location in between where the wind will be blowing your scent away from the trail.
Good stuff guys!
i kinda think this is funny thinking all these beds are buck beds ...more odds it may be a doe beds
whats that app your on?
This is just SO informative, I hope and pray you'all DON'T GET too big for your britches. Keep'em coming for the common man.
This is one of the best hunting channels/shows I've seen and I been in the archery game since 1986 and VHS. I'd love for them to become more successful @ this, but might dislike the byproduct that fame brings with it.
Our mission is to continue doing what we are doing and never change!
The Hunting Public - Thats great to hear , please don’t evolve into what whiteknuckle outdoors or nextbuk did....
Do you mainly concentrate on the points that offer the best wind blowing from the west/northwest for the fall hunts.....i.e. rut time, since that is the most prevalent wind direction at that time of year? So look at sloping points that point southeast or east primarily?
This is gold fellas!
Hey man learned a hole lot from your channel man wish I had someone to help me figure out my land.
We do some consulting! If you want any help scouting let us know!
The Hunting Public yeah man I could send you some aerial maps or something but yeah I wouldn't mind that at all.
Hey y'all can give me a shout on my email if you'd like.
go ahead and send us an email to thehuntingpublic@gmail.com if you're interested in consulting
Great video guys. Same deal where I hunt but its steep mountains. How close would u guys ride an atv in before walking the rest of the way in?
Another VERY informative video guys! What app are you using for the TOPO stats?
onXhunt app. Use the promo code THP to get 20% off. The link for the app is in the description
Did y’all go back and hunt this spot on the deer tour? If so, which episode was it?
if ground hunting that spot with the blow down. would you sit in that blow down with some improvised cover?
The quality of stalking, scouting information youre putting out is stupid useful for my area.
Just about every video out thete is from farm country and glassing the rockies. Where im at we have huge bodied bucks, but they are spaced out more sparse than most of the whitetail range. So searching areas like this from weather and topo maps, to boots on the ground takes a lot of thinking and stealth considering most of your shots are going to be within 30 yards. Ive only been hunting big game for 5 years. Ive only shot 3 so far but they were at ranges from 3 -30 yards. And theyve been closer.
Theres a mapping app that uses topo to show you the sunshine casted or blocked by terrain at any given hour and time. Helps finding spots that heat up earliest and cool down last. Ive found myself on the wrong side of a mountain for the time of day / year a few times.
Very informative, as always. I hunted that same piece of public land in 2016 and hope to be back there in 2020. Don't worry I won't give away the piece of land :)
What is your filming setup for this video? How do you have your GoPro setup It looks interesting.
You guys are the greatest thing on the tube, but I have something I’d like to share with you about woods
hunting for those bucks, and it might be that you already know this.
When in my twenties and thirties, the only places that I could acquire permission to hunt , was on timber company lands, which means I had to hunt deer exclusively in the mountainous timber.
No corn fields, no bean fields and I did not know what c r p stood for so I spent over thirty years hunting
These kind of places, with a bow and arrow , and had never seen a cross bow.
So here we go I am gonna tell y’all my two top secret pieces of hard knocks learning,
It was all about two things and two things only , acorns, and Water specifically speaking spring heads, the highest available water source with cover.
Now the acorns was easy, and if you research what I say about them , you will find out that I am right, since what it takes to make a white oak hit big is nothing but available sunlight and that is most plentiful on southern, or southeast slopes and we tried fertilizer, and everything else and nothing but sunlight makes them hit big , now this is especially true in spring when the blooms are frozen out , also the first trees to drop acorns are real deer magnets and they are also highest on the hill on southern slopes. I hope this helps you guys, if it does let me know,, and thank y’all for all the great videos.
Rick from memphis you think you will jump other deer coming across the fingers getting to the beds out a here
.
Most likely. Thing about hunting hills and mountains is the hunt starts when you leave the house and ends when you get home. Meaning plans change. If you jump deer in thick country like this, odds are they didnt get a good look at you. So get them to think you are another deer. They are curious creatures and if its a buck you jump off his doe herd look out, he may come back looking for you of you convince him your a cruising buck. Be ready for him to come in looking for a fight.
If youre going to act like a deer wear a lot of orange. Camo doesnt matter in country like this.
Skeeters must not be to bad in IA? You would get carried away in WI in that type of woods right now, even with a couple thermacells and bug dope. Its nuts
No they aren't. Summer scouting isn't too bad in IA if you can keep the ticks off.
Same in the ADK. We have like 5 different biting and flying insects right now
Yea Michigan I get ran out of areas from mosquitoes and biting flies this time of year. It's a miserable time to try and scout.
look at TED, he's just a baby in this vid!
Someone may have already asked this and I just missed it. Would/could you hunt that spot or scenario just in reverse, in the morning trying to catch him coming from feed back to bed?
Yes you could. The trick is setting up before the buck gets back
When are you going to try out Saddle hunting?
Matthew Eckerson We have some on the way now!
Awesome can't wait to see a video of you guys trying them out!
Hey guys I could use some help. So I have been hunting my whole life but I am just now wanting to get into some bow hunting hang and hunt stuff for this coming year on public ground. I don’t want to leave a tree stand up on public so what kind of affordable climber stand would you recommend that won’t break the bank? Love the show guys, super informative!
Thanks! We don't use a climber much but there are tons of good stand, sticks, or saddle options out there for the mobile hunter.
I have yet to use any tree stand
Just a suggestion...look for a used Lone Wolf Sit and Climb on Archerytalk or Classifieds. I put the mesh hazmore seat on mine and then use the platform as a frame to strap an ALICE pack to if I need to pack the deer out quartered up. I added a waist strap and good shoulder straps from ALICE frame pack. It's a military pack you can get for cheap off Ebay. You'll pay a little more for a Lone Wolf but they are rock solid in a tree and pretty light, especially with the waist pad and shoulder straps.
Good stuff, very helpful!
Do you plan on hunting this spot during the early season or during the cruising or rut phase? What about early morning sits in these type of scenarios or areas?
Any of those times potentially. Including for a morning, although we didn't cover that scenario in the vid. That's a good idea Greg!
The Hunting Public I like the cruising phases for those type of areas as a buck has lots of bedding areas to scent or visually check. I think your viewers would like to see a possible morning ambush set up, tbe hows and why for a similar set up. You could possibly talk about the difference between evening and morning set ups and the advantages/disadvantages of each? I know I would enjoy seeing how you guys would tackle a morning set up. Keep up the good work fellas!!!!
Thanks man. Those are good ideas. We will do that at some point!
this started off like a intro into a bad episode of ghost hunters
When scouting for Buck beds, should I worry about leaving to much human scent in the bedding areas once I find them? I notice that you guys are kneeling down in some of the Buck beds.
We don't worry too much about scent. We just don't go into the areas we hunt except for one or two times scouting and then wait until we have a weapon in our hands.
Thanks for the tips 😉
Finding beds is the easy part, it's hunting it the day hes using it AND determining if hes worth killing without wasting too many hunting days learning trying to determine it.
Great video guys!!! You guys are really doing some good editing!!!! What site do you use to edit your videos?
They use Adobe Premiere on MacBooks
How high do you guys usually hunt in hill country?
Wanna see the the results!
Better subscribe then!
The Hunting Public Already have .. last month !
Could that set up work as well in a morning hunt as in an afternoon sit? It can be hard to determine what when’s the best time to try hunting buck beds
Yes it could work for either. You'd have to access differently for a morning hunt and setup in the dark, before the buck gets back to the bed.
Ok thanks that’s very helpful. Also do you think mature bucks are more likely to bed earlier in the AM than younger bucks? Seems like a see younger bucks into mid morning but not mature ones
we see the same. Mature bucks will often be in their beds right before daylight.
The Hunting Public That would be my inclination too. Get there before dawn and set up right on top of the bed. Catch them as they are returning to bed, and 'put them to sleep' before they wind you!
How do I get them contour lines on my app
What's is behind Aarons head at 1:17
Bucks bed downwind from Does...you boys are busted as soon as you get on that main trail, no? Nothing is more alarming than a Doe with her white tail at point.. Nice turkey call tho.
Aim small, miss small....
Will they bed in that same area all year or will they move when its hunting season
They'll move around throughout the year. Most of these beds we were finding in this video hadn't been used for quite some time but they will be on a heavy acorn year during the fall.
Thanks
If you want more REAL information just go to huntingbeast.com find out where these guys get their unreferenced information from.
Most of the time we mess this up...hahaha. Glad I'm not the only one 😂. Nice mouth yelping btw. 👍
We all mess up! That is part of the game!
You know thats right...
What map app are you using?
Pretty sure it's OnX maps
Your right Matthew it is. Look in the video description above. There is a link there that'll take you right to it!
Thanks for the reply’s.
#vivalacorndog
Great video !!!!
What is your filming setup for this video? How do you have your GoPro setup It looks interesting.
Grizzled Millennial it’s a shotgun mic plugged into the go pro and mounted to a cage. There should be links to it in the description above
The Hunting Public Thanks
