Just got into hunting at 57 years old. I will binge watch your content.

Finally a channel that focuses on deer hunting not just mature buck hunting… you make deer hunting look approachable compared to the podcasts that make it seem more like a SEAL Team 6 mission… great video, I learned a lot!

I appreciate you mentioning how I focus on deer hunting. I try to do the same with fishing. I love the idea of helping others learn the hobby/sport without making everyone feel like they need to shoot a 160+ buck each season to be an 'accomplished' deer hunter.

Excellent observation. I’m so tired of the trophy aspect of hunting media. I just want to hunt and eat deer, whether that is small, medium or big deer. I don’t care. Great job with the video and content!

I think most people are geared towards mature buck hunting because if you can get after them you can get after does easy. Mature bucks are the most elusive

My background is mainly trapping and your tip is what I always look for too. It is key.

Cory, you are the man!!! There are tons of resources on the internet. Many are great, but often times they assume that new hunters are way more than we actually know. That is the case even for those guides that are supposed to be geared toward new hunters like myself. This upcoming season will be my second. There are times when KZreadrs will point in the general direction of a land feature or sign and refer to it on camera, without zooming in and filming it in detail. Or, they will refer to something like "autumn olive" but not take the tame to put it on camera and explain how it works. You do take the time to do it and you keep it practical. Of course I want a buck, but I will gladly take a nice doe as my first trophy, and you are helping me plan!!!!

Thank you for noticing. I'm trying to relate to people with honesty and to also be as down to earth as I can be. Thanks for noticing that - you've looked at the bigger picture of the channel.

Thank you for your direct and focused message on hunting deer around water. I have hunted mainly ag fields here in Delaware over the years but due to the explosion of development recently and obviously more to come I am limited to public land which is great because there is a lot of water be it lowland areas or creek bottoms or tax ditches. I find a lot of trails cut in to the banks of these ditches and creeks but are new to hunting them so your insight is definitely helpful. I will be watching your videos to pick up more tips. Thanks Dennis from Delaware.

Hi Dennis from a fellow Delaware hunter. My name is Matt. I’m in the same situation hunting public lands and you said it all ,low land and tax ditches hold most of our deer. I live in Kent county I mostly hunt Norman g wilder state area. One of our largest woods on public access. It still gets very crowded at certain times but many hunters have become lazy and bunch up in the easy to get to areas. I got fortunate last season and hunted a section that in the opening of the woods was flooded and people seemed to dismiss it. Only needed to get through about 100yds and the ground was higher and loaded with deer. Mosquitos were terrible in September and October but a therma cell and low impact pressure made it worth the inconvenience. Bow season is here now of course and this year feels more important than ever to hunt and be successful. Good luck to you this season. Very nice to see someone else from Delaware in the comments.

I’ve learned hunt water and the most important thing is hunt the thickest cover on your property deer LOVE THICK COVER !!!

Nice job on this video, and I love your enthusiasm and excitement! That said, I've not done well on or near water, be it beaver swamps, or heavy think swamps. I've tried to set up near them, but I'm afraid that the wind has usually busted my efforts. Locally here in Connecticut on private land with two creeks we've not had any shot opportunities along the creeks despite numerous trail cam pictures, which all seem to be at night. Last year in Maryland, while hunting early muzzleloader season on Wye Island, I nearly sank in a bog which did have lots of deer tracks surrounding and lots of droppings. That said, I got so badly sucked into the muck that I had to leave one boot in the mud and crawl out. Then I had to walk back to my car for another set of boots! The only buck killed that day, a nice 9 pointer was killed in the woods, a transition line to food. kzread.info/dash/bejne/iJOd19KTmtXeoZs.html

That surprises me a lot that you were unable to hook up with deer near creeks. Hmmm….as far as them winding you near swamps, it could be the thermals at last light, pulling your scent toward the water source. That’s one downside of edge swamp hunting. Here in WI, creeks and swamps would be my first recommendations to those looking to take down a deer.

Man best hunting video tip ever! Thank you!

Totally agree. Took me a while to get it but I won't hunt anywhere where there isn't a water source within 300yds, as you said as well. I start at the water source, pay attention to the sign and put together a plan from there. The other trick is to execute the plan before another hunter beats you to it. (I do really love the extra challenge public land throws on the hunt.)

My first hunt ever on public went to creek and scouted and hunted shot a doe and missed a descent 8 for a first time buck but then i eventually hunted else where. I also hunted in some of that bush tree you was talking about and had a buck come through heard him coming from all the snapping of branches he was doing lol. My first year bow hunting and never really hunted besides as a kid with shotgun like 2 seasons. I seen like 6 bucks shot at 5 missed all also seen about 10 doe and some fawns. I was able to do that all because i scouted though boots on the ground 100% fool proof

Awesome

During the early part of the season I had opportunities along a creek but after the acorns were done the deer seemed to move away. I’ve spent a lot of time near water.

This huge information.

So in my state we have high desert areas with public land having few if not any water sources. What is the best way to look for water in those situations?

With a resounding YES! You nailed it on the head many years especially in my youth seeing deer sometimes not enough. Wasnt till I started hunting the hardwood swamp bottoms in mississippi did I understand this. Water equals deer and other critters water is life. Find the water and the transitions you find wildlife. Biggest bucks and most deer where always found at swamp edges then I moved to colorado hunting mulies, same thing creek bottoms and water brought deer

These videos are great! Excellent hunting advice in a world of nonsense content. If there is a creek on a piece of property, does it have to have water in it year-round to serve as this water source?

O.Y.E.

Hi, my dad has a propety along a river, and I have scouted it before. There is also the curve (or known as oxbow) on the property as well, but all along the river is thick. You can't get to the river through the thicket from my dad's property, but I'm sure my neighbors has better entrances. How would you hunt that?

I don't have all the details necessary to give you a complete answer. Based on what you said, and what I imagine the property looks like, I would attempt kayaking to get to where you see the most sign. If your dad owns the land, is it possible to clear a small trail during the off-season?

@@RelentlessSportsman the thing is that our land is like a travel corridor for these deer but not often. There’s big dark trails there but I assume it’s from previous years there. You don’t see them often even on trail camera during the day/night. I assume as you said with the curve/oxbow that they use to cross the river is what they’re doing? But it’s too thick to get in there from my dads property

Appreciate the info but why are you looking at me like that
