Hunting Scrape Lines in Late October | Bowhunting Whitetails w/ Bill Winke
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 окт 2022
- In this episode, team member Ethan Stubbs shows how effective it can be to hunt scrape lines in late October. Jordan remembers early hunting experiences and I focus on directing my crew as they finish the living quarters on the new farm. This is a great time of the season. A great time to be a bowhunter. Good luck to you all.
"Dad, can you come and help me?" "I guess that's what Dads are for." I Love the dedication you show for your family Bill. I lost my shadow hunter at the tender age of 30. Hold them close, kiss them often and tell them you love them EVERY day.
I am very sorry for your loss. That makes me really sad. Thanks for the support and the kind words of wisdom.
Seeing you, with your Superman cape off, daughter at your side, the everyday kinda stuff, planned unplanned and spur of the moment is super satisfying Bill.
Now go get that girl on a whitetail!
Thanks Kevin. She missed a chance last night. She was too tired to go so I took to the trees and killed a nice one. She will get one soon, I hope. Thanks for the support.
That much arrow sticking out on a soft spot of a deer should be a learning experience. Time to re-evaluate your arrow/broadhead setup and make sure you get two holes. Definitely a stressful experience on those kinds of hits.
Yep, heartbreak is an effective teacher, I've had my lessons.
Sounds like you need your own podcast then
I learned that the hard way as well; diamond edge pro 46Ibs 28" draw 430gr arrow with 9% foc. Upgraded to a hoyt torrex xt 55Ibs 27" draw 452gr 18% foc blows right through them and burys in the ground 🙌 Always build for a plan b
Bill, you’re on the path toward your best season ever, regardless of whether you shoot a deer or not. The fact that you get to spend the quality time with your daughter is going to make it better than ever. Thank you for the great content that you are putting out!
Thanks. I really appreciate the comment and totally agree.
Ethan, the under study, is a rising star!🔥
Yes, he is on his own now.
I’ve seen seriousness zap the fun right out of a hunter. I love that you have some fun but still take serious. Love the new channel.
Bill what a great episode! The content you have is great and the hunting part and Ethan’s great buck was amazing to see. But the human interactions make this more apealing than just any other hunting show. Keep this going and thank you!,
Greeting from Mexico.
awesome job! Ethan an amazing buck ! Hopefully Jordan CRUSHES THE next one!!
Congrats, Ethan, on a stud! Bill, it's so good to see you have fun and enjoy what you're doing!!
Trying to keep it a bit lower key this time around. Thanks for the comment.
Congrats Ethan on a HAMMER!!! 🙌🏼 God Bless guys! 🙏🏼🙌🏼
Congrats Ethan on a stud of a buck!!! Bill and Jordon, stay after it you will get a shot!!! Good Luck from NC!
Congratulations on that buck Ethan! That’s what dreams are made of.
Thanks for the comment Jerry. Good luck this season.
Nice video Bill. You and your daughter are doing a nice job. I enjoy watching the new channel. Nice Buck Ethan. 🦌
So much about this video to like - progress report, a little nostalgia and a nice buck! Things are rolling - congrats to everybody Bill!
Who! What a great buck. Glad you found him.
Congratulations Ethan! Great buck! Keep dropping some good content. Appreciate the work y’all are putting in!
Thanks for the comment and the support Jeremy. Much appreciated.
Congratulations Ethan!
Congrats to Ethan! My goodness what a monster buck. Happy you were able to recover him. Bill he kind of resembles that G5 buck!
Congrats Ethan. Bless your heart. Super happy for you. Nice living quarters.
Thanks. Much appreciated. Still a bunch of little things to deal with on the new build but it is way better than trying to live in that rickety barn portion.
Ethan that buck was coming to that rattling. If you watch his body language closely you can see he was expecting to see some deer over by your stand site. It's amazing how they are able to pinpoint sound like that from so far away. Amazing hunt and appreciate your sacrifice to internship. I know it's hard to sacrifice hunting time to record others alot of the time but without you guys we wouldn't have all the great footage we have now. Thank you and the Winke Family!
I thought so too! I appreciate the comment, thanks for watching!
Never get tired of watching you Bill.
Thanks Jason. I appreciate it. Have a great day.
Just a cool episode Thanks guys
Nothing better than Dad and Daughter time in the stand! My favorite part of the season.
And Congratulations on a fantastic buck!
Thanks. Best possible quality time is that spent in a blind together.
Great memories being made! Any hunt with one of your kids is a success!!
Thanks for the support Steven. I appreciate it. Have a great day and good luck.
What a fun episode…enjoyed the father/daughter sharing memoirs and banter ❤ and Ethan !! Wow !! what an awesome deer and great job self filing your hunt 🙌🏻 So happy for you Stubbs, I know this is a dream come true moment.
Thanks Hayley. Much appreciated. Hoping you have a great season.
Thanks Hayley, it truly is amazing to be able to live my dream! Just taking it one day at a time. Have a great week!
What a great buck Ethan!! Greatly enjoy the interaction. Bringing the fun back to hunting.
Thanks Kore. I appreciate the comment and the support. Have a great day.
Heck of a nice buck Ethan congrats!
Fantastic episode! Congrats to Ethan on great buck! And completion of living quarters.
Thanks for the support, David. Much appreciated.
Great buck Ethan! Good job. Loving the content Bill and Jordan
Thank you! Good luck this season
Bill, great video today! Your daughter is learning great skills. Really enjoying how casual you guys are!
Thanks Joe. We are definitely having fun with this.
Great video! I know you mentioned a while back that you were brainstorming ways to bring good content to RUclips and I believe you have nailed it! The interactions with Jordan, Ethan, and the contractors in combination with some great hunting tips is amazing. The buck kill was the cherry on top. I’m looking forward to the next episode!
Thanks for the comment Jared. Much appreciated. Good luck this season.
That is one awesome buck young fella. Sweet. Congratulations
Tim, thanks for watching! I really appreciate it and good luck this season!
Ethan!!! Keep living the dream!
Congrats Ethan on a great buck! The building with living space looks awesome and the crew did a great job ! Thanks for sharing the journey
Thanks for the comment and the support. We all really appreciate it. Have a great day.
Thanks BJM, I appreciate the support. Hope you are having a great season!
Pretty cool to see the place come together! I'm sure there's a lot more to do.. but it's looking great! Congrats to Ethan on a giant!! Stuff dreams are made of. Id be speechless to! Great video!
Thank you! Definitely a memory I'll never forget!
Good stuff Bill!! Love the content
Beautiful buck! Love how much of a team you all are. Great content thanks for sharing
Thanks for the support Kokadjo. Much appreciated and good luck.
@@bill-winke thanks. Been doing habitat improvements on 100 acres of family land so cool to see how others are doing with theirs. Plus how to set up on the property so value the content you put out for us
Lucky to recover that deer!
You should recover 100% of liver hit deer. That is not where you plan to hit but very fatal nonetheless.
@@bill-winke I agree but the angle and placement of that shot looks like all guts... Needless to say great buck but I stand with my comment... He got lucky
If the hit was all guts he would not have been dead that soon nor would there have been that much of a blood trail….
Ethan what a stud!! Glad your with bill and Jordan this year! Let’s get Jordan on a nice buck now. Good luck the rest of the year we’re watching in Ohio
Thanks Joe. Jordan should get on the board soon. Good luck.
Absolutely beautiful beautiful to see a dad and his daughter together like that
Thanks. We are really enjoying the time. Good luck to you this fall.
What an awesome episode! I have thoroughly enjoyed following you journey over the last 5 years Mr Bill, and now im excited to follow you daughter’s
Thanks Dark Knight. I appreciate the support. It will be a day to celebrate, for sure.
Now that is a great deer hunting video thanks for sharing be safe out there congratulations on the big deer and God bless 💯🦌🙏
Thanks BooBoo. I appreciate it. Be safe as well. Good luck and God bless you too.
Great video! Living quarters looks awesome!
Thanks TJT. Much appreciated. Good luck.
Great buck Ethan! Congratulations!!
The living quarters are looking good Bill! Maybe next time Jordan you’ll get one. Great show guys!
Congrats on a Dandy! We purchased our first “Enclosed Hunting Blind” this year and I’ve learned quickly it’s nothing like the experience of sitting in a tree.
Thanks for the comment. No, blinds aren't as much fun, but in some cases they are much more effective than a tree stand. I did an entire episode recently on when I think blinds are better. They definitely play a role, but will never completely replace a tree stand - at least not as long as you are able to climb. Good luck.
The great in the blind conversations. I have the same ones with my daughter. Great buck
Best possible quality time is while hunting in a blind with a son or daughter.
What a buck!! What dreams are made of for sure. Time for the Winkes to put one down.
Thanks for watching! We're going to do our best to get on one soon!
Congrats on Ethan, I’m glad he’s part of the team and he connected with Bill. He’s had some great mentors these last couple years with Jared from MWW and now Bill. He even gets to see the land side of things from High Point Land Company.
Yes, I agree. I have never seen anyone get that much experience before ever graduating from college. Ethan will do well.
I've been extremely blessed to work with some amazing people over the past few years!
I liked the fact that Jordan held her bow steady and right at her target during her practice shots. Ethan, outstanding buck and I would agree with Redwolf Media on the bucks response to rattling, he was definitely perked up and curiously looking.
Thanks for the comment Scott. She does have a really good follow through.
Best advice you can give someone!!ALWAYS DREAM BIG!
Amen Brandon. Good luck this fall - Always Dream Big!
Bill a little over 15 years ago I did load up my truck and move to Beverly, Hills that is. I moved from the dirt roads of Shaftsbury Hollow Vermont, no stop lights in my town to one block north of Sunset Boulevard. My wife and I rolled the dice on a job offer. I was 46 at the time. Obviously it worked out. Fortunately I can shoot my bow here and still able to hunt. Took a nice black bear a few weeks ago and a mule deer Sunday. I have had a subscription to Peterson’s and reading your articles for ever. I have 4 points for Iowa so I will be heading to the Des Moines area in the coming years with November 7 somewhere in my time. Glad you are back on RUclips.
Jim, you are like Jed Clampett. Congrats on your success in spite of the challenging living arrangement as relates to hunting. Thanks for your years of support. I really appreciate it. Warren County (just south of Des Moines) led the nation in B & C bucks. Not sure if that is still the case, but a great area either way. Good luck.
Great episode Bill.
Thanks Mitchell. Much appreciated. Good luck.
Nearly every commercial box blind isn’t made for bow hunting. They usually aren’t high ceiling enough to stand up and draw the bow like we do when practicing or can do in a tree stand or on a ladder stand. And the windows are terrible. Noisy sliding things you need to leave open. And the box material is so noisy if you even touch it almost. Window should swing and unlock easily and almost silently. And that’s why I made two custom bow hunting box blinds on platforms 16 feet up. 6’x8’ x 82” ceiling height. Heated. Rubber matting floor for chairs that roll. Custom made windows that swing open dead silent. Each cost less than $200 plus my time. I’m 72 years old and these will last 10 years for me to hunt comfortably.
Do you have plans? Would love to build a couple
@@decaturridgebees8761 no plans. Just build it in my head and get busy. I have always been able to design and remember measurements in my head.
It’s great to see Bill making content again
Thanks Zach. I appreciate the comment. Good luck this fall.
congrats ethan, huge buck!
Thanks for tuning in! Good luck this season.
Congrats Ethan
That's a slammer 💪
Thanks Justin! Good luck this year!!
Thanks for the comment Justin. Much appreciated. I hope you are doing well.
Based on what I've seen it looks like the guys got your place finished up just in time for you to out it to use with the first buck off the new farm! Loving this series!!
Thanks Alex. Yes, I got lucky last night. Jordan didn't want to go - had stuff to do - so Ethan and I went.
@@bill-winke that's awesome! I got close and had a locked down buck. Hopefully I'll turn up a few more opportunities
Watch from 12:00 to about five seconds afterwards. He bit his tongue from saying f*#k because he remembered he was making a video. 😂
Thanks for the comment DN. Good luck this season.
@@bill-winke Thanks for the video.
Awesome video congratulations to Ethan !! The deer are starting to move in Ohio and I'm off for the next two weeks
Good luck this season! Thanks for watching!
Loved the crew giving you crap lol ahhh just one more thing...
Great deer I'm sure Ethans still grinning, I know I would be
I will be grinning for a long time! Thanks for watching!
Thanks Ope. Have a great day.
Steadily growing bill, them numbers are growing fast! Sweet November is upon us tomorrow!!! Took one surprise 10 last Friday popped up out of nowhere and now one more to fill
Thanks for the comment and congrats on the buck! Continued good luck.
@@bill-winke thank you sir !!
what a Beast,,looks good Bill
Awesome video bill as always thanks buddy.....can't wait to see what's up next. Your crew always brings good stuff to the table and the year is still young I hope your daughter smokes a giant I hope you get a good one too good luck you guys and gals. LOL 😂😂
Great buck Ethan!
Thank you! Good luck this season.
Good luck Doug.
Great episode. Congratulations to Ethan with the self filmed Iowa giant. I hope you hold onto this kid Bill!! Would be great if Ethan could tell us if that arrow did in fact get some liver, and how far till he expired. 🤟🇺🇸
It was definitely a straight-liver shot. He went about 350 yards as the crow flies and expired. We found 3 beds I believe!
Thanks for the comment HV. Good luck this fall.
Good stuff Bill!!
Thanks Mike. I appreciate it. Good luck.
The Beverly Hillbillies song is gonna run through my head all rut now ha
Me too. I loved that show.
Ethan - get some heavier arrows and a fixed blade broad heads. Wait for a broadside or quartering away shot. Huge buck! Congrats
He has been asking questions and I know he is looking for options to the big mechanicals he has been shooting.
I am definitely going to change my setup for late season. Thanks for watching Jeremy! I appreciate the kind words.
muy buenos videos.. saludos desde Colombia
Thanks for the comment Alex. Good luck this fall.
I hate to be negative because that’s an awesome deer my friend. Congratulations buddy on getting him and finding him. I just hope you learned something about taking that shot because it was terrible watching it. I’ve taken that shot a few times. I can be done without even getting guts. Aim at the shoulder always with every shot. Doing so gives you more room for error. Plus you don’t let a deer walk out without flatting at least one tire preferably both when possible.
Very true, there’s always something to learn out in the woods and I feel like I will be a better Bowhunter in the future because of it. Thanks Matt, have a great week.
@@ethan_stubbs Again great job on getting that deer buddy. I couldn’t be happier for ya. He’s the one dreams are made of.
Bill is the greatest of all time
Ethan, you must be shooting Rage expandables. Every deer I have ever shot with a rage looked like that. Make a good cut but seems to never pass through.
Yes, I was shooting a Rage Trypan. 2" cut I believe.
Thanks for the comment Scott. Good luck.
After hearing the news Jared mills leaving Midwest white tails it would be awesome seeing him come on your new show bill
I don't see it happening. If I had to guess, Jared is tired of the camera following him everywhere he goes in the woods and will be happy to hunt just for the pure fun of it again. Good luck.
Bill, your showing your age when you quote the theme song to the Beverly Hillbillies! 😂😂😂😂 really enjoying all the content, look forward to it every week. Maybe a dance number next time?🙃🙃
Oh boy. Jordan and Ethan will have to do the dancing. Do you remember Elaine Bennis in Seinfeld and how she danced? That would be me!
nice buck...looks like the youngster is comin into her own on camera as well...cool to witness the changing of the guard...gotta be awesome feeling...unfortunately mine just never took to it..hes obsessed with gettin to ju jitsu blackbelt...competeing..started reading your writings decades ago..watched the transition to net series video log..now to watch the next generation picking up the torch is good stuff...and great job to ethan putting himself in the right spot..was curious if that was the aiming point or if he just pulled the shot back a little..anytime i see an entry behind the crease on any quartering to shot from a tree i get nervous knowing unless its a high entry..its gonna slip right under the tail end of offside lung..the dread 1 lung liver....congrats on the search..giving him time...not giving up on it..well done
Thanks for the long time support Terry. Jordan is enjoying it and doing a great job. Very proud of Ethan also. He pulled it off.
Thanks for watching!
We need more this we only live once
Absolutely. Thanks for the support Gibson. Much appreciated.
Good Stuff!
Awesome, start to finish. Great buck Ethan. Did you really think Jordan would know the Beverly Hillbillies Bill 😅
I am not sure where we went wrong in her upbringing. Everyone should grow up watching the Beverly Hillbillies.
Yes sir bill I always dream big🎉
Excellent way to live John. Good luck.
Good looking deer.
On my farm here in Central kentucky all you would find after 2 hours would be antlers bones maybe legs the rest of the deer would be gone consumed by the coyotes.
Just can't seem to get them under control we've killed a bunch of them.
Fortunately, we were able to find this deer basically untouched. The coyote numbers are definitely high here as well. Good luck this season!
Put it a touch back 🥶 close call on that one. Damn good deer
Yeah, it was a very uneasy feeling. Glad we found him for sure. Thanks for the support and good luck this season!
@@ethan_stubbs if it happened perfect everytime it wouldn’t be as special. Keep killing it 💪🏼
@@brettbuckmaster5128 I feel a lot better when it is perfect, but hopefully it makes me better for the next time! Good luck this season!
Bill you gotta get Hoyt to send Jordan a front and back stabilizer it will help her out so much especially being a new bowhunter
hey Bill I have a question for you. what do you think about whitetails and ATV's? I personally think that on some farms that they are used to them and are not afraid "as long as you don't drive crazy" 2 farms here in Missouri that I hunt are cattle farms and get quite a bit of activity on them from farm equipment, ATV's, etc. I've witnessed deer standing in brush 40 yards away watching me while slowly driving my ATV right by them. I also harvested a mature buck last year 30 min after the land owner drove his side by side with his grand kids all over the pasture right behind my stand. with that being said, I've also noticed that on other farms the deer don't tolerate them at all. I just wanted to know your input on it. by the way.. I absolutely am loving the RUclips episodes this year. I can't wait to see Jordan harvest her first bow buck.. hope all goes well and wishing you and Jordan a great season. thanks Bill. 🏹
I agree with you JD. On the farm I sold, the neighbor always drove the line fence every day at sunset to check his cattle fence. Sometimes the deer would be out on my side and completely ignore Jim when he drove by at well under 100 yards.
Nice buck and very lucky you found him! That was an ill-advised shot. The buck was not a alert and you should have let him turn to at least broadside. I would have been excited and afraid the moment would slip away too, but you gotta keep your cool and make the better shot. Learn from it.
Thanks for the advice. Always trying to learn something everytime I go into the woods!
Nice buck
Thanks Matt, I appreciate it!
I was shooting at a moose with my bow a few years back and I was behind brush. I didn’t account for the arrow below the site and I clipped that branch.i was just sick. Probably 45-50 “ bull at 10 yards on the ground. Lesson learned
I hit a branch shooting at a really nice bull elk in New Mexico one time. That was also a very painful event. My arrow crosses the sight line at roughly 10 yards out while going up. So for a 30 yard shot it crosses twice - once at 10 and again at roughly 30. Knowing that does allow me to better predict what I might hit in between. Good luck.
Congrats! Bill, any advice on how to hunt these next few weeks? The Temps, and wind direction are terrible, but it is the Rut/PreRut. Should we push it and hunt anyways, or keep playing safe? Especially for the small parcel guys like me?
Yes. Definitely hunt it. Mornings will likely be better than afternoons. It will be cooler during daytime in the mornings. Good luck.
What an amazing buck Ethan ! I missed the name of the company of those electric four wheelers ,I need one especially if you can attach a cart to one to haul my son on ,he tore his ACL Friday playing football and we want to get him out there for gun season hopefully.
Thanks for the comment. They are made by TuoreV. Sorry to hear about the injury. Fortunately it is not a career ending thing any longer.
@@bill-winke thanks for the response, going to check them out !
Dream Big brother 🙏
When your builders show up say no problem sir couple days for what takes normal guy weeks. Shows up plays mariachi music on the radio u know he ain't bs u.
Amen Jonathan. Those guys worked 14 hours per day. It sure kept me busy running to get them what they needed but man were they fast.
How close do you drive in with the electric bike or atv?
Bill and Staff: Got a question you guys may want to answer in one of your shows: is it worth hunting during a period of extended rain, especially during the rut? In SW WI this weekend we have an 85% chance of rain both Friday and Saturday. Is it worth going out or not??? Or should I just plan on going out right after the rain ends Sunday morning???
Ryan I think it will be better after the rain ends but given it is the rut I would be out there if your time to hunt is limited. Misty rain is no big deal to a deer, but they don't move in a downpour. Good luck.
Is that audio strait out out the go pro 10? If so it’s great!! Great episode!! Keep them coming.
Only some of the interviews and the cutaways were from the gopro audio. The deer action was filmed on Ethan's Canon XF 400 using only the shotgun mic. That is a bit risky to go without the wireless but the wind was light so we knew we could get away with it.
Huge…👊🏻🏹
Thanks for the comment G-Man. Good luck this fall.
Ethan what was your arrow/broadhead setup? Weight of arrow and type of broadhead? Draw weight? And what your plans are going forward to improve the setup. Thanks!
I have been shooting a 4mm Easton axis with an outsert and a rage trypan. I am definitely going to switch to a smaller cutting diameter like bill advises. I have a 28” draw, and 70lbs
@@ethan_stubbs yea the rage trypans are a very risky head to shoot. If they hit any bone at all, even rib bones, they will drastically reduce penetration like you see on this video. The big wide blades against rib bones deflects the arrow so much that it no longer goes straight in, but more at an angle. So it loses all it's momentum and that's why there's so little penetration.
@@mztd912 no doubt. I believe we’re going to do a video on my setup here in the next few weeks, so I will have it dialed for then! Thanks for the support!
I learned my goes-in-tas from Jethro lol
Jethro was my favorite. Best comedy series of all time. Maybe second to Seinfeld.
I’m curious to know more about the shot. For being at 20 yards seems like the arrow should have penetrated more. I played the shot in slow motion and it looks like the arrow barely went in more than a quarter of the way. I’m a fairly new bow hunter so this might be a dumb question, but still curious about it.
Hey Mike, thanks for watching. The conclusion I came to on this hunt was that I hit the deer dead center on a rib bone. I was shooting a 4mm arrow with a 50 grain outsert, and a 2 blade Rage Trypan. Although my bow was shooting extremely fast, I wasn’t shooting the right arrow/broadhead setup to get great penetration on a mature whitetail. With that being learned, I have gone back to a more traditional, heavier arrow with a smaller expandable broadhead. I think at the end of the day, the only thing that matters is where you hit the deer. In this case, I got in too much of a hurry and rushed the shot. Fortunately, I was able to recover the deer and all was well!
I hope this answers your questions. Please don’t hesitate to reach out, Id love to help in any way. Thanks!
I would be sick waiting 4 hours in those temps with that deer laying out there, especially if he might be gutshot. Nice deer.
Lack of penetration and can’t tell from angle of video but did the string hit your coat sleeve or something?
Not sure if it hit anything or not honestly. It was definitely a tough feeling, but I will know next time to settle in and make the best shot possible! Thanks for the comment and good luck this season!
What made you change from ford to GM? Great choice btw!
In the final days of my time with Midwest Whitetail Chevy supplied me with a truck to use. When I stopped contributing I had to give it back. I liked it so well I traded my F150 in and bought one.
At the 4:30 mark you were worried about being “parked too close”.
I know this goes against EVERYTHING you preach, but I don’t worry about that…..AT ALL!
Due to age and health I have to park fairly close to my blind (60 yards).
On Oct. 28th I had three deer literally walking around my RTV!
Seriously, I thought they were looking inside of it!
I will take my chances by parking close to hunt rather than not getting to hunt at all.
Last year I killed one of my biggest bucks within sight of my RTV.
I think there is more for us to learn here but I do think it would be a problem if you park too close in the direction the deer are coming from. You don't want them to see it if at all possible. Blinds may be the exception if your ATV isn't too big. You can possibly park right at the blind.
