Critical First Sit Monster Buck Hunting Strategy
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- More time in the stand equals more deer, right? Wrong. If your goal is to shoot a big whitetail buck once or twice in your lifetime, hunt as many hours as you can! However, if your goal is to shoot one or two big bucks EVERY hunting season, then you have to hunt very patiently and choose your sits very wisely. This is a display of of my best bucks (top 14) and it should come as no surprise, that most were shot the first time using the stand for that hunting season. Less is more when it comes to consistently shooting target whitetail bucks and I hope my lifetime of buck hunting success offers some great lessons for your own future big buck hunting success. In the end, you really can shoot more bucks by sitting on the couch and if someone challenges you that you should hunt as many hours as you can, ask to see their wall of whitetails ☺️
I love seeing all your trophy bucks. What a collection and great memories.
Great video!
Thank you Tyler!
Couldn’t agree more Jeff, thanks for sharing your knowledge.
That’s crazy, as I was listening to this I went around my basement trophy room in my head. And every buck was either first or second sit in that blind. I have a lot of mediocre bucks that have been killed in those blinds you have named on the farm. But the big ones take a new blind at the perfect time. As I’ve gotten older I’ve learned to sleep in a bit on some of those blinds not to ruin them. Thanks for all your hard work and sharing your info. After 45 years of hunting I am still learning. Your videos get my hunting mo jo flowing.
6:27 You did WHAT in the stand?!?! 😂😂😂
Impressive wall congrats.
Thank you Stand...hope the strategy makes sense 😉
Whitetail Habitat Solutions I’m a Dan Infalt fan also and your tragedy’s and his are similar to his in some ways. I’ll always listen to people who’s wall is better then mine. Good luck this year
@@stanp6383 appreciate it Stan!
I'm 47 and yet to bag my first whitetail. Yes I am totally ashamed. But! Where I hunt in East/central TN , we have a good chance of frost opening week . I've did what I could to prepare and feel pretty good. All hunters prayers out there are desired and appreciated. Thanks for helping me get that first tag ahead of time Whitetail Habitat!
Hey brother. I’ve officially got control of the land my huntin lease is on now. My neighbor had the place leased for horses but he sold them. He gave the lease up and I took it all over today. I paid the 1st lease money today. I’m excited. I’m goin to put up more posted signs. The owner has another guy wantin it but he didn’t want anybody on it. The owner said that won’t work. He let me have it today. He knows me well I help him bush hog and fix fences just whatever he needs doin and he let me hunt. He gave the lease to me I control who can and can’t go on it now. I’m trying to teach my young nephew that if he will help people do stuff they’ll be good to him.
The bucks are awesome and all, but I really liked your COFFEE mug!!
Ha, thanks babe...amazing what wine, you and your girlfriend's and a ceramic shop can create 👍 best mug I have, lol
That's what I was thinking! :D
Jeff I appreciate all your good advice on cold front sits !! One question if there's a cold front blowing in do you hunt,let's say evening hunt even if it's windy or do you prefer to wait till winds die down ? Thanks Levi
Hahaha.
Great to see and hear the stories of all those bucks, particularly Turntine. Thanks for sharing!👍
Thanks a lot Sam ☺️ He really made for a great adventure all around! Can't wait to hear the stories from you guys!
You just said to the other day when we gave r opinion that you were the best and didn't have time for us just your clients and friends. Now you want to hear are stories your confusing me
Great bunch of deer you have. Being a paraplegic hunter I certainly understand the patients game. Here in Maine the rifle season is only a month long so opportunities are few and far between. I try to use distance as a scent and movement control but areas are hard to find to make that work every time. God Bless and Good Hunting. Maine North Woods Hunter
I also like to use distance for sent control.. good luck. Hope you get your buck of a life time this year!!
Thank you! That's awesome...Maine is such a great, historical whitetail state that I would love to visit some time. God bless and good hunting to you too!
Another fantastic video. thanks. What would you say is the appropriate distance between stands, so that each count as a single "first sit" specifically in the Midwest. Say i have stands about 250 yards apart. Is that sufficient distance between stands that each stand could have their own individual "first" sit?
Wow, Jeff. So many memories. This never gets old.
Man you are so right Eric...those memories are still so powerful with every one of them the same! What it is all about...
I don’t understand how anyone can give this guy a thumbs down... all the information is so helpful
Oh it's ok ☺️ Haters going to hate, or something like that. Just trying to help folks out .. appreciate the support 👍
I hunt on base, camp lejeune nc. The pressure is so insane the deer are extremely nocturnal
Thanks for the tips and stories jeff.
I started hunting like that 4 years ago and it changed my hunting methods.i looked a lot smarter to my hunting buddies.the longer your videos are the more I like them🙂
Man you are very welcome! I like that too...hunting smarter, not more...will deliver a lot more mature bucks! We have quite a few coming up that are 10-15 minutes +...I really hope that you like them!
You looked smarter to your buddies that's genius glad to see Jeff is helping
Great info Jeff!! Great stories and memories!! That’s what it is all about!! You have one hell of a collection!! Impressive!!
Thank Brian...hope they help and make sense...I love that strategy ☺️
Yes you are the best!
Love the video. AND the short stories.Thanks Jeff.Thats what I've been waiting for..
Very cool D...I love it that folks can appreciate the bucks and the stories that go along with them ☺️ really means a lot!
One guy had a reply about score..Who cares when you are knocking down 200plus pound deer.My wife shot a 20 inch 9 point her 2nd buck ever.4.5 year old 190 dressed. A real handful to load.Her 1st was a 138inch 10..Was sitting beside her on both hunts..I've never shot 1 over 130..Very proud husband..
This is probably my favorite video yet. Love that, just like me, you still get nervous, excited all of it. And you never forget the details of each bucks story. My collection will never be like yours, but I'm always trying to explain to my non Hunter friends how each one is a special memory, not just a trophy. You can almost feel that excitement of when you shot that deer each time you tell the story, or even just looking at him sometimes. So glad you haven't lost that feeling in all your success Jeff!
Jerry those words mean a whole lot to me! Isn't an awesome feeling...even decades later!? I mentioned in another comment I hope that someone could see my smile with each one. Such strong, Incredible life-long memories...thank you and I'm happy you can appreciate the stories and memories! What it is all a out for sure
Dont put yourself down your collection is just as special as Jeffs and anyone else's. I have a wall and a basement full but I don't have to show it off,to fill complete or the best thats not why anyone should hunt. Makes me smile when you see how much your opinion and truth gets to people and they learn. Love all of it. Looking forward to more of Jeff's the best vids!
@@jonessoutdooradventures1152 oh don't worry, I'm not putting myself down at all ....I'm 36 years old and about the same position Jeff was in at that age with work/hunting/family, etc, but I like to think I'm ahead of the game with all this great advice! Thanks again Jeff Sturgis
@@jerrypaine8457 We just thank the Lord there are people who truly understand what life and hunting is all about. God Bless keep looking up
@@jerrypaine8457 right on glad to know your ok and giving the credit to your buddy that's love and what I like to hear
Thanks for the advice, I will definitely see the benefits in waiting for the right day, I had planed hunting a stand that I have a good amount of nice buck photos when ever i had the time off, but I going to wait for that right day now, bow hunting all about patience, in the tree or on the couch.
Great words...of course I can full appreciate them ☺️ Sounds like a great plan and best of luck with the big bucks...make sure to follow those weather patterns!
Yep don't give up you can have a wall like Jeff's then show it to your subs and the most important your clients and friends.
great video. I was hoping you would do a video similar to this. Love hearing the stories about each deer.
Thanks a lot Ryan...man I hope that you can tell I smile when talking about them all. Such fond memories...really happy that you can appreciate them too!
Your the best Jeff!
Excellent video Jeff. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much Mark...really appreciate it!
Next time your in NY come see us if you like you could also hunt with us would be great to have you
Great video Jeff. This is what I try to preach to my son,"you have to be patient son" The wind is off just a little or we have a much cooler morning or evening coming in two days so lets just wiat till then to go!! I want to go and be out there also, but you only get that first or second sit once a year. He is starting to grow his paitance slowly but surely. Good luck with the public land challange this year.
Great video Jeff! I agree w your statement - waiting for the right time, that first time in I feel 50% confident its going down! Awesome deer too!
I've been waiting to hear about all those great bucks hanging on the wall. Loved the video. Thanks Cris
Thanks a lot Cris and you are very welcome! Of course a lot more to the stories but I hope that it helps to paint the strategy ☺️
Have you ever had a buck approach your location and as you get ready for the bow shot he stops in his tracks, freezes for a second and then actually walks backwards a few steps before completely turning around and walking away?
Thanks for sharing all the great stories....I for sure have changed to the tactic less is more!!!!!
Just trying to figure out how to get in to certain stands without alerting the deer.
Bob
Hi Bob less is more for sure. Those red trails on the map are how to get into stands...hope that makes sense!
Less is more
Thanks Jeff this is the one I was waiting for October 5 can't come quick enough 🎯🎯
You are welcome Jimmy! No it can not...9/14 for us, Diane will be up to bat ☺️
Oh i cant wait so exciting!
Very nice bucks brother. Great job.
I went out scouting today and have 2 target bucks on public land! Really excited to now know when to hunt those particular spots!! Great video
That's awesome Cameron...exicited for you! Hope the strategy helps you a lot...good luck!
Great Stories Jeff, I enjoyed them
That's great to hear ☺️ I hope the strategy helps!
Me too! You r the absolute best! Seen many bigger bucks and walls but you will get there. Just don't give up keep trying.
Awesome video! Love hearing the stories how ya shot them
Love the stories! Thanks for sharing!
That is great to hear...really appreciate it Grizz! Each one brings back such fond memories...and a familiar strategy 😉
That rub was like the rubs I told you bout last season me and my nieces husband found. We’re goin to try to lease that place this year to.
Monster, eh Randle?
Whitetail Habitat Solutions yes sir it was.
Awesome topic to talk about Jeff, you were preaching my sermon haha. One thing you didn't address and maybe you can in another video is the balance between all the property management work and also keeping a property feeling like it is untouched and undisturbed to the deer ?
Hey Jeff I covered the rocks at the waterhole with dirt & added dirt to the water to muddy it up a bit like the story of your bucks go GIANTS
Ha, that sounds awesome Paul! Thanks Paul and GO LIONS...well, a tie but not a loss. Not happy bout that...
Always great content! I just have to say I really appreciate that you draw the difference between large tracts of land to small/medium tracts. I have grown up hunting a 10 acre, 8 acres, then a friends 80 and now last year I bought 30 acres. On my property I hunted twice last year. First hunt was opening day and I shot a doe in sep and second hunt was end of oct when I had a shooter buck show up on a scrape on my cell cam. Killed him the next day scored 136+ biggest buck to date. For a living a manage I 2000 acres for hunting here in the ozarks of AR. We currently have over 60 acres of row crops with fall blends being rotated in. The habitat plans between the smaller property’s I hunt vs the property I manage differ very much. I focus on thick cover on my small property’s for fall/winter and on the 2000 acre piece we have thick smaller areas that get hunted and big areas of summer green areas for fawn/turkey poults. All this to say to someone who is not sure about what opinion to follow for their property the size does matter very much and you are 100% correct about how what type of cover you have for hunting season will determine where the deer are for it. Definitely helps being able to see the full year of a deers life to know what they want during different times of the year!
Really great feedback and I appreciate it! Such a big difference. In fact most of the scientific data doesn't even apply to small parcels. It can't. I bet that 2000 acres is a lot of fun tho ☺️ good luck this season...sounds like some pretty cool options!
That's sounds awesome but must not of been to interested
Your welcome! Wish I could hunt it for my self! Awesome learning experience for me though! I have had to pass a lot of big deer definitely not easy lol!
thanks for mentioning the fact that you can harvest a nice buck on the 100th sit in 90 degrees lol. That's the fun to me, anything at any moment can pop out where you least expect it to in all the wrong wind direction. Thanks for the other info. Also, I might be bummed to shoot a buck very first sit cuz I love the woods. If i got a nice buck 1st sit my wife would surely think why go back out? lol
Ha, Travis I can understand you would want to still hunt, lol! There is always the luck of any day, but the first sit strategy is for those that want to consistently shoot the best bucks in the area. Honestly I would rather fish than sit on bad days...hike...spend time with family...bird hunt, etc. BUT bottom line you never get to experience those bad days if you force the hunt. Those bucks are still there but man the odds are just so extremely low. Hope that makes sense! Maybe find more states and tags to hunt 😁 Wait don't blame me for that one with the wife tho, lol
I’m jealous.. lol. The deer here are smaller .. there are some swamp monsters but they are rare! Your last buck up on the wall made me shake just looking at it on the wall
Thanks a lot Drake...it's all relative that's for sure ☺️ I bet you have some great ones down there an I truly hope you shoot onr this year, and that the strategy helps you out a lot!
That's nothing but I won't be a show off but don't give up and you can have a wall like Jeff's
@@jonessoutdooradventures1152 thanks
Thanks for sharing those cool stories. The biggest lesson iv taken from the past 4 years of die hard hunting is patience. Iv had non. Y I see little to no horns? To excited to shoot the second or 3rd doe I see. Not out here for does anymore lol
Not sure if you've done a video on it or not. Mechanical or fixed blades?
Good luck Justin!
good video. didnt realize ive been spitting my sunflower seeds in my coffee the whole time ive been watching it.
Ha, now that's pretty funny ☺️ Hope you liked the strategy!
@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 priceless info. never miss a video.
Lovin the coffee mug
@@jonessoutdooradventures1152 what coffee mug
I like huntin them long ridges like that. Get where I can see both ways on the ridge that has a saddle on it. That’s a perfect sit now. I’m bout to get caught up round the house as far as work goes now I’ll start on my plot. LORD willing that is Amen.
So here’s a question for you Jeff. What if you don’t have any target bucks on camera? This particular area I hunt never seems to hold mature bucks. I do get them occasionally when the ladies are in season. Would you just stay out of that area until the end of October?
Loving the content Jeff!!! Hopefully the wind is perfect October 1st my first sit will be over a monster public land buck bed that I have zero chance of setting up on this guy any farther without getting busted it’s literally the ultimate bed in one of the most random places nobody ever hunts. Here’s my plan it’s a morning only spot I’m going to sneak into the bedroom extremely early in the morning before he gets home.should be a great hunt if the wind is right.whats the earliest you seen a buck bed in the morning Jeff??
Often they in their beds in the early season a few hours before daylight but it is really tough to define. One of the greatest buck bed tips is where they are bedding in August and early Sept are typically not where they are bedding in early October 🙂 If you truly think he is in there I would get in there 2-3 hours prior to light. BUT, if you can hunt him the evening when he comes out it is a much higher potential big success ..AND you don't spook him out. Spook him out 1 time in the morning your sit is over before it begins, and for the rest of the season most likely in that entire movement. In the evening you can get multiple chances for him and he will typically leave his bedding area at a minimum an hour prior to dark or even earlier if cold and after a front. Good luck with him!
He’s a slick one beds with his back to a major freeway he’s 20yrds from it. Has apple trees,oaks and a creek all within 75 yards from the bed. I don’t think he’s traveling far from the bed and he has the dominant wind in his favor and the 3 acres of timber he’s bedding in he has great sight the timber isn’t very thick. He’s using 2 trails 1 for the creek and the other heads into a patch of apple trees. His escape trail is along the freeway where there is nowhere to set up..I definitely think hell spot me trying to get in there for a night hunt
The horse pasture stand was a hot spot sounds like.
Oh it sure was!
I have a question and I’m not sure if you have a video about this situation I have a couple 50 acre parcels and one of which I can hold bucks mainly mature ones until about late August then they just disappear till really late in the season or even after? Any explanation or something I could do to help it
Agree i always try telling people stay home but i almost think you could talk till blue in face oh rather be hunting i have to drive half hr to get to my land and more so i always have tried to pick the right day
Oh for sure...people want to hunt! The big thing is getting to know the extreme amount of damage they can do when hunting at the wrong time. I believe there are a few 50% success sits...mostly 1-3% sits. The more 1-3% sits you make, the more you chip away substantially at the 50% sits to the point that you could eliminate them. Great brand pic btw 😁
Just like talking to you
I have three weeks before I can start launching some carbon. I can't wait!
Nice....good luck!!an I can't wait either ☺️
Me either!
Nice to have a ton of money to lease or own a ton of land.
All about priorities...doesn't cost much if you don't spend your money on a nicer house, a boat, machines, a new truck, bowling leagues, booze, cigarettes, fancy vacations...the list goes on and on. AND if you work extra hours for it. That requires budgeting. Anyone can do it if they make it a priority.
Whitetail Habitat Solutions 👍
Yep I understand what your sayin brother.
Thanks Randle!
Totally agree. Would you say it’s wise on public land to just hunt new and/or outside spots of your best spots during bad weather days if you still want to get in the woods? (While obviously saving your best stands for cold fronts)
Thank you very much and that's a great point and what works so well on public land...always somewhere to go on the outside so you don't spook deer in the inside or in your favorite spots!
I have six days left till bow season starts I've been watching the weather and hopping we have some kind of weather change
Hi Rob...I would still go with normal weather... certainly not real hot weather unless you think you need to beat a neighbor to the punch 😉 I'm hoping too...
Suppose to be pretty cold in some parts they have public
Hunting a 6-9 year buck named tank I’ve hunted for 4 years on my property, always been nocturnal, finally had a day picture of him just before bow season, any suggestion on how to get a shot on this guy?
Boy that's a can of worms! BUT, only hunt the best weather days, hunt conservatively with the thought the bow season is a marathon...not a sprint. Slowly chip away at him without spooking him...

I wish I could show you on google maps to see the lay of the land , but I hunt next corn field and got mineral block out and corn pile but I’m goin go set up mock scrape like you said on edge of field to see if I can locate him little better
@@premieroutdoors6063 man I wish I could help you out more! I really like the idea of a quality mock scrape tho, to help narrow down his movements! Maybe even two setups ☺️ good luck with him!
Whitetail Habitat Solutions thanks a lot for all the help , love the videos , learning a lot
@@premieroutdoors6063 you are very welcome and that is great to hear!
The fall forage blend we got from Northwoods isn't doing worth a darn. The sweet feast brassica beside it is going berserk. Did your fall forage grow?
It has grown like crazy Nick. Did you you cover it with soil... work it in at all? Needs a lot of rain to pop peas and oats if just laying on the ground. I use a LOT more seed than the Fall blend John sells. Have you check out my 2019 Best Food Plot Blend video?
100#s of peas, 50#s oats and 25#s soybeans per acre and then 5 weeks later (last weekend) I added 200#s of Winter rye over the top of it, per acre. 375#s of seed...which is a out right ☺️
Wow amazing I will have to try that so I can get big buck
@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 yeah we worked it in pretty well. We couldn't get more peas. John couldn't get his hands on any bc of the floods apparently. We did the ratio you stated, minus the winter wheat bc we don't have enough deer to worry about it getting eaten before it matures lol
@@blazeice111 that rye is really, really important...2nd layer that is ☺️ Really wish it would have grown better...lack of rain you think!?
@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 definitely not lack of rain. The farmer adjacent to our property runs his pivot through it 😂😂😂. I'm really not sure what happened.we have about 10 peas growing and maybe 30 or 40 forage oats. Maybe we needed to broadcast some winter rye as a cover crop?
Any tips on mid September deer hunts? Season starts sept 15th here for me in southern Indiana. (Deer reduction zone) I’ve got some Boone and crocket bucks on my trail cam
Man that sounds great Sky....bet you can't wait to get after them! Try this vid...hope that it helps a lot!

Find bedding and where their eating thats a start then there is another I'm the best video you can watch. :D
Hi Jeff, always enjoy your videos, very educational. I have a question, it may be a simple one but it’s always been trial and error with me. How do you set up your cameras? Location to your Treestand hunting area? Quantity of cameras to determine what direction the deer are coming from.
I do not have the expensive $200 cameras, but the cheap $29 Walmart cameras. (with public lands , I don’t want to risk losing a good camera)I hunt public land small parcel, across the street from me, my stand is approximately 1000 feet from the road so it’s easy access to check the camera. One other thing, do I set up the camera by the feeder? Or by the stand? And how far away should I set the feeder from the stand? I do not have food plots, so I have to bring in bags of corn into a corn feeder. As I said before I don’t have the abilities of hunting lodge parcels of land. They may be dumb questions, but maybe someone else that watches your video run into the same situations. As always enjoy your videos and thank you if you reply.
Hi Bob, man I wish I had time to answer all of those questions...BUT I do have a trail cam playlist here on my channel ☺️.
Almost all of my cameras I can shoot with a bow from my treestands or blinds for bowhunting. All are around 6' high on a tree wider than the camera, with the profile hidden with another trunk or brush...and absolutely no red ir flash. Those red IR bulbs are a location killer! I typically have 4-5 on a 40 acre parcel...5-6 on 80 acres, nearly all on a vertical mock scrape, waterhole or both. I then change the cards when hunting only. On public land I place cameras on a scrape in key funnel areas. I don't care on public of the buck shows up day or night...just that he shows up!
Whitetail Habitat Solutions Thanks Jeff I appreciate the quick reply, I did watch your video on trail cameras, but in New Jersey it doesn’t relate to this type of hunting area. Most New Jersey hunters don’t have big parcels of land. And the wildlife management areas, public land, are so heavily traffick, pattering of deer are very difficult. I’ve been successful in everything I’ve done for hunting , I don’t shoot does, and I harvest eight pointers and up. But in New Jersey they don’t get any bigger. Once again thank you for your reply, and I guess you’ve never hunted with corn feeders, in New Jersey corn feeders are quite common. Once again love your videos keep up the good work.
Giants defense on vacation oh boy here we go again gzzzzz
If you seen my lease you’d prob say it’s not worth hunting. I’ve killed some good bucks on that 46 acres. Seen some big bucks there. Mostly during muzzle load time. Great video brother be safe GOD BLESS.
Plot starting to green up will be applying 200# early oct
So awesome Paul, really happy for you!! You going to be around there before that time? Perfect timing would be more end of September of you can hit it
Wow. Crazy impressive. So if a cold front comes through on Wednesday morning, are you waiting until the front passes and temps mellow or are you timing it so you are hunting while the cold front lasts?
Paul in place a little emphasis right before a front passes and a HUGE amount right on the backside of the front. Either on the lee side of a ridge while the winds are passing or on the coldest portion right after. I make sure to never pay attention to the BP...
@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 Coldest portion? Can you explain what you mean? BTW thanks for all the great videos.
where would u set up for buck in the rain. is bow hunting afective by rain/snow. ive hear mixed reveiws
Hi Jeremy it sure is effective. I have an entire chapter dedicated to hunting in the rain in my recent, All Weather Whitetails book...but the short of it is that heavy rain...even moderate rain or snow, can and does suppress deer movement. I like hunting the holes in the rain, sometimes right before... definately when you have a few hours in between and of course when it ends. There is often a great chance to pop into a stand when it is raining, using the cover noise and site to enter without spooking deer...and then wait for the opening in the clouds 🙂 good luck!
I've seen and shot some of my biggest bucks during the "breaks" in the rain and immediately after it stops. But you gotta go in during the rain and wait for it to clear. If you're waiting in your truck or at home for the rain to stop before going, you're too late.
I’m just confused exactly what time you should hunt in the morning, and also in the morning do you hunt funnels from bucks coming out of bedding?
Hi BS! I have a few dozen vids and even more in articles about the concept. Check out my 2016-2017-2018-2019 Rut forecasts vids, morning hunting strategy rut vids including the secondary rut, how to hunt a cold front vid, etc. So much info on this subject. I can cover it all, unfortunately in every video. That Blessings sub is a troll so I typically remove is comments...like on this question.
BUT TONs of info on it.
I hunt mature bucks cruising between doe bedding, going back to their beds or cruising between buck beds in the morning. Well away from food. Just like detailed in the video about the 15 point buck...also "The Morning Sneak" chapter in my first book, and online. www.whitetailhabitatsolutions.com/blog/morning-sneak-tactics-for-mature-buck
Hope it all helps...but again, a ton of info on my channel and web site...also comes up in searches on RUclips and Google at the top.
This video was of course, about saving treestands for the best sot...first sit bucks 😉
Do you have your trail camera close to your stands and if so how do you check them without burning the stand
All close enough o can shoot them with the bow...and I only check the cards when I hunt that stand or a stand nearby. All 6' in air, all low glow or blackout, all on tree wider than the cam with the profile hidden by a trunk or brush. Never spooks deer that way. Really easy to do...
I'm 25 and have 9 bucks on my wall all over 130" one 174" guess what I don't have private land or huge leases and kill big bucks after multiple sits!! Good scent control and 30foot stands anyone want to doubt I'll post a video
I enjoyed all the stories of your bucks but I wish you would have said what they all scored.
All gross...but between low 130s and 2 gross over 170. I believe 9 are around 150 and over...5 around 160 and over.
Whitetail Habitat Solutions
Wow very impressive wall of fame you got there. Thanks.
The boss of the place prob.
11:07 is that a camera or flashlight stabilizer?
TactaCam camera.
Are you setting your blinds out early and leaving them out when you hunt public land or are you setting them up when you get out into the woods on the day you hunt.
On public I rarely leave the blind or stands...same day hunts and I move a bit too. I often have locations all picked out tho...tree or ground!
Doesn't matter either way it works for you
@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 awesome thanks you
When counting first sits, are you counting that as a stand in the area? I have 6-8 stands on roughly 60 acres, so not much spacing between them. Would each stand count as it's own, or are you crossing off a grouping of stands if you sit in an area?
Great question Curt...a particular treestand. I have lots of "complimentary stands" I call them, that are in the same area. Different winds, different access or departure...all with a strict timing use based on winds, frequency of use, buck timing, sign, etc. Hope that makes sense...first sit for that treestand
You look a little younger in them pics brother. I was telling somebody yesterday how I had black hair when I was born now it’s grey and leaving to lollllllllllllll.
Opening bow season is a Saturday and Sunday and my dad and I were going to hunt both days, is it a bad idea to sleep in a tree stand? In good weather.
Ha, I sleep all of the time ☺️ good luck to you guys!
Yup end of sept what I meant to say
Nice...lots better 😉 You just like to make me type more, right?
So if you are waiting sign to pop up you are going in, just not to sit? Is that accurate? Do you limit your boots on the ground scouting, too?
Very limited from the access roads...mostly by trail camera. Also, most ask of the bucks I have history with for multiple years, so I can go by previous year's trail cam pictures and proof of life after the season. The target bucks I am after this season I know are alive...just a matter of me waiting until the dates, get a good weather day and go hunt...very methodical. Takes a lot of patience but highly effective 🙂
I’d like to figure out how I can send you some pics of the mounts I’ve got here. All Tn deer. Are you on messenger brother?????
