Great video again man! Our time E-scouting together definitely works because a lot of the tactics you’re discussing in this video helped me to harvest a public land mountain buck last month! Thanks again!
@@HillCountryBucks_FarmLife absolutely those parallel ridges, drainages, and slope angle shading were KEY in my success! What’s your thoughts on the sign that you find in the bottoms? It’s usually wide open and most people say it’s night time sign that mature bucks wouldn’t be using during the day. In my opinion I agree that it is likely done at night most of the time, but it is definitely worth taking a look at. I’m drawn to bottoms as a starting point for my boots on the ground scouting. When I’m in the bottoms I try and determine what direction they are traveling/crossing between finger ridges or even throw a camera down there to get an idea of the age structure of the bucks in the area. But it’s important to then look up the ridge and find bedding, drainages, scrape lines, rub lines, or terrain features that will make a deer feel comfortable moving through during the day. I also use the prevailing wind to confirm that the buck sign I may be seeing associated with bedding up wind is worth hunting or an area of buck travel to catch the wind from the bedding in the rut. What do you think?
Thank you for the video. You make it seem easy. What comes as second nature to you for hill country, is so challenging for us flat land ag country guys. How can guy get some 1:1 chat and sharing time for your input on a topo?
@@HillCountryBucks_FarmLife I appreciate that. In the same camp with no social media and will put my email in the next reply. If you could delete it after use, I would appreciate it. Thank you
