Thank you for making it easy to understand and straight forward. Others have made it sound like you'll never see a deer if you tip toe the wrong way. Thanks! Good advice
Great video lots of information One thing that I will say from experience in North Carolina I've seen probably the most dear movement during the rain if it's going to be a rainy night or rainy day not so much but if it's going to rain for 2:00 or 3 days consecutively after the first night or day of rain I go to the woods it sucks usually get soaked but I always see a lot of deer My first buck I shot on the 4th day of a full week of rain Plus there's a lot less hunters in the woods because the common misconception is deer bed down when it's raining they might bed down on a rainy night but after about 12 hours they get up and they move and they seem to move with less caution when it's raining or maybe they can't hear as well but personally that seems to be a misconception that deer bed down when it's raining
Hi Jake, I am a subscriber and I enjoy your content as well as learn from you, thank you very much for that. I say this because I am going to criticize your thought process and I don't want you to take it personal. Although you are correct, right after it rains, or a storm passes through, the bucks get up to freshen their scrapes, however I do not believe that deer are cognizant of whether rain washes the sent away. Until someone mentioned it, I never thought of it, and I'm a human and way older than a deer lives to be. What I believe happens (and I guess we'll never know the truth) is that they are normally going around and hitting the scrapes anyways, but because they are bedded down waiting out the storm, they can't participate in the rutting activities that they naturally want to do. Thus, as soon as the storm breaks, they have all of these bottled up hormones and now they can go back to doing what bucks do this time of year, make rubs and scrapes. If they think about it at all, they think like little kids. Little kids just want to get out and play. If its raining, mom says you have to stay inside. As soon as mom says you can go out, then that's what they are going to do. Most bucks are under the age of 5. Anyways, every time I hear someone say that the deer know their scent needs freshened up because it rains, I just have to say something. I can't prove I am right, but I believe I am pretty darn close to it... With all that said, I am going to continue to watch your channel and I feel as though you are one of the few who honestly want to help your fellow hunters and not just grow your channel to make money, ... Thanks!
I’m finally getting to hunt after 17 years in the Ag business between harvest and home life I never had available opportunities. This year I decided to get into it, and got my first doe last week thanks to these videos. Now that we’re about to go into rut I just landed 13 private acres that I only stepped foot on twice. Dose anyone have any info on how I can hunt a good spot without goin in and pressuring the ground?
Hi Jake, been watching the young bucks following s few minutes behind the does on cameras. Still looking for a mature buck to show up. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get into the woods yet as my wife has been having some medical issues. Trying to get the most of my hunting time. Thanks for the informative video.
Hey Jake , NDA recently had a great podcast on a scrape study that was done by Mississippi State’s Deer Lab. Worth a listen. NDA Coffee and Deer Podcast
Does the temperature have any impact when Rut starts? We are having very warm weather on October 26 through October 30 in Pennsylvania at 80 degrees F. Usually start seeing Bucks first week of November. Thank in advance for any input from Deer experts here. 🦌
Do you have any recommendations for the unusually warm weather that's starting today in mid-Michigan? With highs ranging around the upper 60s to 70 (today) and lows in the mid to upper 50s along with rain in the forecast for most of those days, should I even bother trying to hunt during this period or should I just wait until Saturday a.m. to resume? Your advice would be greatly appreciated.
New to hunting and have a tree stand looking over a community scrape and seeing lots of does. Should I lure a buck by adding doe estrus to the scrape or just leave it alone?
Leave it and let the does do their thing. The bucks will know the second those does are ready. If you are seeing does the bucks will be behind them soon
We’ve hung ropes from higher branches to help develop a rub/scrape line. Doe are just dropping their scent around it. Put a camera up, I bet you have bucks hitting it during the night hours
I had deer (bucks and does) on my lease it’s 120 acres in ga was putting out big tine and corn they would show up and eat it all until recently haven’t seen a doe at all and seen nothing but bucks which I’m not complaining but in ga u can only shoot 2 bucks and 10 does. I’m wondering where they went

Is there a way to get rut bucks to stay on your property any other time
How would you access the stand on your property?
You must do your scouting . Trails . Tres rubs. Simply sitting in the stand seeing if you have does
I'm asking about a specific stand by the pond.....around the pond or through the pond?
What about primos can is it to early to use it

Does are all you need. I find it scares the dies away
