    The plant is dotted smartweed. Some may know it by dotted knotweed or American willow weed.
    It’s a perennial herb that grows in wetland areas.

    I never knew it was called smartweed, I always just called it snake grass, especially when it grows on the edge of the water on gravel bars

      Smart weed, snake weed , and water plot is what my pawpaw called it. It's literally like a mother nature plot if you know what to look for. Great place to kill some doe and a big buck in rut

    I've been hunting public land here in Illinois for about 9 years now and while I've seen deer while out hunting, I haven't been able to harvest one. Watching your episodes gives me insight into what I can be doing to be successful on public land and maybe even use some of this new knowledge on private land I have permission to hunt a few times a year.

    That is smart weed Aaron. It's the type of plant duck hunters would keep an eye on because when it heads out and the seed fall into the water, migrating ducks allegedly really like the seed and could make a could duck hole.

    Looks like Pennsylvania Smartweed a water based plant that grows in wetter areas or in the water. Deer like them here in Nebraska especially in the summer.

    I just scouted a nice 1000 acre parcel today. Used the info you shared and found a nice buck bed with fresh droppings underneath a big willow out in the swamp. I must've just kicked him up. The other bed was on top of the highest hill in the area. From what I could see he could see everything north, south, and east with the west at his back. Thanks for the info guys now I just haft to play the wind right.

    Ya the ON X maps are really a game changer for me I first learned about it early on in the turkey tour and didn't think much of it. The very next week I was turkey hunting and went in after one. I was focused on the bird, not where I was going and got myself good and lost. It took me several hours to find my way out so I went home and decided to try it. Not only will I not be getting lost anymore but it let's you see an area to pick the best areas to scout, property lines and land owner information. Pretty freaking awesome.

    • @TheHuntingPublic
      @TheHuntingPublic  6 лет назад

      Michael Gammill from what we’ve seen, bucks will leave their beds in any direction regardless of wind. However they will bed with the wind at their advantage so you have to setup that way. Sometimes that means blowing your wind right past the bedding area in order to setup close enough to the bedded buck

    Do you use the free version of ONX or do you pay for the full plan? Also, I was wondering if you had tried Huntstand? I've found that pretty good so far but just started using it. Finally, I'm wondering if you guys considered using saddles for hunting? Haven't tried them myself, but seeing how light and flexible they are it seems like they would be great for your kind of run and gun hunting when you are getting aggressive in those beds. Great video!

    • @TheHuntingPublic
      @TheHuntingPublic  6 лет назад +2

      Greyhunter Thanks! We’re thinking about trying saddles. They sound sweet! We are using the full plan but you can buy individual states for less.

  • @nathankaplon9596
    @nathankaplon9596 6 лет назад +1

    This time of year are their any spots that you see as off limits to walk on? Seems like you aren't too worried about bumping deer right now at all, is that the mentality we should have? If so at what point in the year do you say to stop using certain areas? Should we try to do all of our scouting in one day on an area to not stink it up as much?

    • @TheHuntingPublic
      @TheHuntingPublic  6 лет назад

      nathan kaplon yes we scout these areas in one day and don’t come back until it’s time to hunt. Naw we don’t mind bumping them. Doesn’t seem to hurt anything. The trick is you can only do it once in most cases

    Do you do any consulting? You should come to SE Wisconsin and help me Figure out some of the highly pressured public land I hunt. I mainly scout via on x and google earth. Not a lot of time to scout due to work and kids sports. I see deer every time I go out however I’m thinking I’m not close enough to their main bedding areas. I’m a Dan Infalt disciple and I utilize most of his tactics but my experience scouting is very limited.

The clear cut is heavy with cat tails, and I can always hear the deer walking in there, and there is a ton of trails, sometimes 5-8 different trails coming together at one point. What would your recommendations be ? see if there is one big tree in the area and setup shop ?

    • @TheHuntingPublic
