    Been around old-timers like this my whole life. Everything you say is wrong, or half-right at best, and everything they say is made up on the fly... and always right. I like the "you're thinking too fast, slow down... followed by the "it's getting dark on us, let's speed this up." just a few minutes later. 🤣 Love it... great teaching moments, for sure... great video man, keep em' coming!

    Love the description of determining the difference between varmint vs deer trails. I always struggled with that earlier in my outdoors journey until I started really off-season scouting and marching entire trails. And once the trail leads to a coyote den, you'll start realizing things lol

    Two wise souls here. One based on age, experience, and sharing his expertise the old fashioned way. The other for being willing to share his "learning" status publicly, to the benefit of many. Respect X2, seriously.
    PS for the record, I'm an aging Northeast college instructor who appreciates a good educator, which Mr Worthington clearly is. Hats off.

    Jacob what an amazing video. I sent Joe an email asking info on the scout class. I’m in Missouri but I’m definitely going to try and make it. A wealth of information just in your video. I can’t imagine a couple days of it. I also like how he puts it on you to talk it out and figure it out. Great stuff. I love to see videos like this. I like and enjoy his podcasts but everything he explains in the podcasts comes full circle showing it in a boots on the ground video. 10/10 on your channel for putting this content out. I have Bobby’s limited book ordered and am very excited to read it. Thanks Jacob!

    @christophercastor6666 2 месяца назад

    Experienced explanations like this are absolutely priceless. It’s unbelievably difficult to make up time in the deer woods, but learning from a master like this gentleman is a huge step towards success. Growing up with experienced “successful” whitetail mentors used to be the only way to gain woodsmanship and hunter knowledge. These folks and their shared bag of tricks is the tax new hunters must pay if they want to reduce the learning curve exponentially. I had many Whitetail mentors, some were generous enough to open up about their hard earned secrets, but this is the first I’ve heard of someone dissecting ground with such methodical scientific techniques.
    Thank you for sharing this, even though it’s basically an advertisement, because it’s valuable nonetheless. I will be reading the book; no doubt.

    Always carry a compass. When you scout and pick trees if you have a compass you can make notes on onx as to which winds will be good in what trees. I even carry one turkey hunting when im scouting for deer also. Super helpful for making exact notes on what direction a spot faces and what winds were good

    I love to see an old timer get in the woods and pass on great knowledge that some would keep to themselves for many years or forever. That’s why I always listened to my dad grandpa and uncles even as a small boy. This stuff could be learned by yourself I guess but it has probably been passed down to that d timer and we all know by some of his videos he has killed tanks.

      2. This guy hunts in relatively low pressured areas and states. He would struggle to kill big deer using this method in the open timber with a state like Michigan or Pennsylvania.

    Yes, age and wisdom! I am 53 and to me it's sad that many, probably most hunters today are not true, wise hunters. Hunters today where I live in GA. would be lost without their bait and 24 hour surveillance cell cameras. It's legal but no reason to brag or show of what you got when it most likely would NOT have happened without all the technology. I still don't bait and I still get mature bucks, I refuse to take the easy way out like most people do. If I get a nice buck it's not because of bait and technology! It's just so sad to see what hunting or so-called hunting has become. I enjoy watching people that actually know their stuff!!!
