Love learning from these video series and podcasts
During the rut I have seen Mature bucks walking through shopping center parking lots , lol so during the Rut all of this in the video goes out the window and like they say during the Rut hunt the Does , because there WILL be bucks
Groundbreaking!
The spot I hunt, it’s so true that they never showed up being in the open field. How many I harvested, all of them being taken inside heavy brush close to bedding area & pop up going to heavy timber, but never seen one in the open, at least not during the daytime hunting hours.
Great intel. Will take this into consideration this season.
Good stuff! My best places for shooting big bucks is 100-150 yards from open areas. They often use the same travel corridors as other deer but at different times and with a lot more vigilance than younger deer. They know the thermals in the hill country I hunt and they use it to the maximum degree. I look for edge from thick to open forest and natural travel terrain with prevailing wind advantage coming to and from bedding and food. Subtle changes from year to year and buck to buck occur, so I seek sign/direction of current travel to narrow my hunt down. Keep up the great work guys! #BuckInTheTruck2024
Here in ontario I think aliens abduct the deer for a month or so ....
That wasn't deep enough. Do a northern mi video about this. Please
Most mature bucks in western NY seem to travel in same general routes as other deer but they are just offset in the brush for the most part. They use trails at night or will come out on trails but mostly they travel in cover when able.
100%! Grew up (and still) hunt properies in western-upstate and north-nj and while the buck quality in NJ has phenomenally gone up in quality the past decade or so, what we now consider decent 2.5-3.5 y.o. 8 points that nowadays usually get the pass in nj, would be the “buck of a lifetime/trophy” for that part of NY. Are they bigger boddied in upstate? Absolutely, but despite having better foods and mineral sources than the NJ bucks, their antlers usually tend to be off by 15”-30” or so than what an NJ buck at that same age group would be. However, w/ that said, for upstate, there’s never been a place where I’ve seen more “multiple-point-antlered) bucks, such as 10, 12, 13, 14, and def 15 points by ages 3.5-4.5 easily. Like I said/you prob already know, 2.5-3.5 y.o. old points are a “trophy/great season” up in those woods to anybody already, anything over 10+ points, even if they tend to usually be 120”-140”ish at their peak size is the equivalent to a B&C buck for even states like NJ and PA.
@@portugal5698 The avg 4 year old by us is probably 120s score but body weight dressed is close to 200lb. Largest buck on hoof ive seen is a 7 year old that was easily over 300 on hoof. Colder weather means they hit that late corn hard. Tend to get plenty of fat by years end.
Good video guys
Gonna keep a lot of this in mind as I’ve got a giant that’s been on property I can hunt for three years now. Hes a 5 year old deer judging by his body, and size. He doesn’t have the mass with his antlers, but the size makes up for it. He’s been elusive as hell as last year after 9/11, he showed up in daylight once. I have a clue as to where he’s living, but getting him to show has been hard. I’m hoping that this year is the year I get him. He’s a non-typical this season due to an injury between now and the end of late season in January.
good Info
Give us 4k this year!
like it-fantastic picture- ;))
Why don't older does exhibit this behavior? Do bucks learn this because they have been shot at and pursued/scared enough times but does have not? Why else would they care if something sees them?
Mature bucks are hardwired to avoid open areas during daylight due to predators, they are hardwired to move during low light conditions for a reason . And you’re right they either have been jumped several times by humans or shot at
Human pressure
It's in the nature of the deer.
Does form a family group and find a suitable habitat to survive.
Bucks are lone rangers and are kicked out of herds to avoid inbreeding, they do hang with other bucks during the summer but require their own space during the fall and winter. They find their own secluded places to stay and will often grow to find a place suitable for many years and are hardly seen.
Meanwhile, the does stay together, and raise fawns.
