How To Hunt Public Land Swamp Funnels
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 авг 2024
- This is the story and strategy behind my 2011 MI public land swamp funnel buck. With huge marshes, lots of water and thousands of acres that you don't even have to scout, narrowing down a giant buck on heavily pressured public land may be a whole lot easier than you think!
Our new seed blends are available NOW! Check out our www.whitetailh... for more details. We are so excited to officially introduce to you, WHS Wildlife Blends!

wetting that public land whistle for the guys that been wanting it
Ha, for sure Frank!
Thats one thing you always do even when I was crying around about something else you started changing to that direction to shut me up lol I respect the hell out of the work you guys do sure we piss ya off from time to time lol
yesssss. thank you. i’m hunting a swamp this coming season and the pictures I’ve gotten are just absolutely massive, but it’s so thick, there’s nothing back there, its going to be a hard hunt but they’re big.
For those hunters who do not have the physical mobility of youth, I suggest looking for pinch points along logging roads. The big bucks don't like to cross the road in daylight hours but will cruise those pinch points. Look for pinch points between bodies of water and the road, or other terrain that deer avoid. Another great video with fantastic advice.
I'm one of those that lack the mobility of my youth.
I'm staying up all night so that I don't overslept a 2nd opinion doctors appointment to learn more about a possible surgery that has the potential to give me at least some of my mobility back.
I didn't hunt last year because the previous year I only went in about 250 yards, but found myself with barely enough stamina and endurance to find my way back out. We had about 16" of snow and I became concerned about tripping and falling in an area where nobody would find me.
I'm in on 600 acres private timber lease that I can drive into, but that's in mountain out terrain of PA.
I'm getting excited about the upcoming season and I'm hoping for advantageous weather where I can possibly set up a blind the legal distance from my truck.
Maybe even arrive In the middle of the knight and sleep under the topper in the back of my my truck.
I have a couple places where I hunt a1/2 mile of pinch point (funnel [?] ) between the edge of a marsh and a wide open Ag field. The problem is that its a mile or more from any access point. When I've hunted crossbow in there its taken me 2 hours to come out at night
I just put 3 cameras on a dry island between 2 swamps last week, I'm expecting to see some swamp donkeys! I did find an old blind and old stand back there so I know some other people have hunted it, but I had to get real wet and muddy to get back there so I bet that will keep most people out.
Now thats a hunting story.
Thanks Joe, hope you liked it!
I’ve always said a great hunter actually hides from humans
Amen to that! If you can't hide from people hiding from a deer is kind of hopeless 😬

Finally get to watch .Thank God for Sunday 😂
Ha, happy Sunday D 😊 Hope you can fully enjoy the day!
Scouted during the winter months and picked up several new public land locations using this exact formula. Thanks for pumping out another video for us non land owners!
2:15 - that is a solid tip.
Thank you Chris...really hope it helps!
Jeff is the real deal I take what this man says to the bank another great video
Thanks Jeff for all that you teach I cannot wait for Dylan to get here in March please remind him he has an open invitation to all the turkey hunting he wants to do from Gary in Georgia
I hunt a large public swampy area that is 90% tag alder and grass with an occasional tree large enough for a stand. I call it the ocean of tag, and boy are the deer ever in there
Jeff I got to tell you you are hitting all the hot topics...at least for me lol. Really needed to hear this again - getting my head ready before I head out haha!!! Appreciate everything your doing for everybody!
Just got a chance to watch... great detailed information !
Love swamp hunting 👍🏼🏹🦌
Thank you and happy Sunday
Thanks for all the info! Your teaching has allowed me to transform my hunting property to be attractive to deer. I will be planting your fall blend in September also!
Nice Chris...that's awesome!! I really appreciate it!
Good point about hunters hunting hunters.
Thanks Jeff,swamps make for good funnels but the edge of large blocks of monotonous timber types is often overlooked. Edges are great funnels,especially where several types meet as you point out.
So true Greg...typically very easy to hunt edges too!
I hunt heavily pressured public land in Maryland. Some with AG, some heavy woods, and all with salt marsh.
Dude, you’re dead on with all of this video; especially minding your footprints.
ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR VIDEOS. Would like to know about mixing herbicides(granules), with fertilizer. Also, splitting fertilizer applications when planting plots.
Hi Jeff, thanks for keeping me busy with my habitat and stand work. It has been fun.
You are very welcome John...a fun and rewarding kind of busy at least 😊
Incredibly helpful information. Thanks!
Thank you very much Tanner!
Jeff I love your hunting stories. Can you share the story of each buck and take pictures?
All of these videos are great, but I’m struggling to apply it to my unique 80 acre parcel. Frustrating
Hey Jeff I hunt my backyard it's 1acre but naighbours have 263 acres and run dogs and shoot every thing should I do the same or let them walk and get shot
Hi Dylan! I like going hunting for the strategy and challenge. That means I try and take the better bucks in the area, and it also means I go hunt public land within a couple of hours and fins a good hunt. That's the beauty of public...you can always go find better hunting 😊 However, I would sit back and enjoy the Fall woods and go for a buck that is one of the better ones in the area. A very good mock scrape setup can tell you what's out there...even minerals if legal in your area.
I understand you're emphasizing swamps & funnels , but how might 0xbows entering your equation?
Depends on the River...low water easy access are the same as islands. High bank deep water they are avoided by deer and deer don't actually use the oxbow because it IA a dead end. Just depends a lot on the river and bank...
Is your fall green blend the same as northwoods whitetail whs forage green blend?
Good morning Fellas!! How do you do the Mark up on the HuntWise app? Is that done in the offline set up?
I’m watching a video on hunting public land. Why are you advertising seed for food plots that can only be planted on private property?
Because that's where people plant them...
Jeff, you mentioned taking your kids out on one of these hunts. Are planning on a do’s and don’t’s video for taking your kids hunting?
Random question, if I have a buck that shows up every 3-4 days what are the chances he comes back during the fall.(this is the first time I’ve put cameras up during the summer, the land that my cameras are on always has bucks on it.)
Is it ok to see only see 1 buck show up one time on camera during the summer
It sure! It is a better indication you will have a great hunting season than not.
@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 thank you for the feedback love the work you put in to do these videos
I’m on the same boat, Jack. Don’t let it discourage you. As long as you see sign from previous years, I wouldn’t worry at all.
Hi Jeff, just able to get some more land opened up for food plots for next year. Anything I can do now to start getting it prepared? Or should I wait until spring?
There is still so much time Greg! I would definitely plant this season, without a doubt 😊
Definitely PLANT!
Wine bucks are about to transition how do you hunt do you use any calls whats 1 good tipe to killing bucks when they are transitioning or before to help you be more successful
Hi Jeff, I live in the Duluth MN area. There is some public land here and it's about 2,000 acres, most of it swamp land. There are also lots of hiking and snowmobile trails. I know this land pretty well but never hunted it due to high pressure. With limited places to go, it seems like it would be hard to get away from people. I am totally willing to put the work in to hike a half hour into the woods, but I want to maximize my opportunity and get away from people. Any tips for smaller public land areas? Thanks for taking the time to read this if you get the chance
Are you able to ship your seed blends to Canada ??
Great video. What mapping app are you using?
Hi Chris, thank you! I use Huntwise...I like the different map choices so I can pic which one has the best resolution.
First
You might be!
Will deer smell the candy?
You and the others like you are destroying chances for real hunters by giving this play by play. Used to take years and a love of the woods to learn. You said it yourself. “Now we narrow a few thousand acres into a few hundred” now y’all have hundreds of people smashing through the small spots good hunters used to work all year to find. People walk-in in on you two miles back. None of you would kill any of your big deer if you started now. Just gaslighting tens of thousands of people to go wonder around “way back”
Unfortunately very few have what it takes...and very few work that hard. So, really preaching to the choir and only a few soloists actually try...
What I'm really trying to do is to help people wade thru the enormous collection of bad content with bad advice 😉 That's a tough job in itself. Merry Christmas!
