Shout out from Northern KY. This is one of the best episodes I've seen that you all have done. My dad self taught himself woodsmanship. He passed on everything he knew to me, and this is spot on. I use walnuts for scent control all season. Pick them when their green, and soak them in water for a few days. Filter through a coffee filter and fill a spray bottle. Only spray clothes that it doesn't matter if they get stained. It works, I have deer come down wind of me all season long. I learned something new with the moon phase.

Watching this for the fourth time and still laughing out loud. Fantastic video.

Yes sir brother! Enjoy the talk God bless and keep us posted on your success 🦌👍🏻🙏🏻

Rick is a very seasoned-skilled hunter. To be able to consistently take deer in the south is no accident, especially our area of SC. I learned a lot from him personally as a young man just starting out along with some other guys from our church as my father was not a hunter. These guys allowed me to tag along with them and showed me things on how, where and when to hunt. I really enjoyed our old deer camp days down in Chester, SC. If someone is willing to take the time to try and help someone, soak up what they are saying like a sponge. That’s what I did as a young man trying to learn. Now as we are all older and more experienced, we all owe it to the next generation to teach them and show them how we used to have to do it when there was no technology, no social media, very little educational tv and still be successful. You only learn woodsmanship by getting in the woods and trial and error. I feel so many young-new hunters get disappointed or frustrated by what they see on tv these days without knowing that 90% of everything on outdoor television is money driven and just marketing to sell products by personalities, not true hunters. Great podcast! Hope everyone has a great season this year! 🦌

I’ve been hunting in SC for years. This episode was fantastic. It was so relatable since most of my hunting has taken place on public and private lands in Chester, Fairfield, Lancaster, Union and Newberry County. Please have Rick Cope back on again. He is so knowledgeable on hunting in SC. He is also very entertaining. The 2+ hours went by fast.

Man, I am so glad I found out about this podcast! There’s some unbelievable stuff on here… My dad told me about the turpentine years ago and I almost broke down crying man when he said that! My dad died in 2005 and he was one awesome Deer Hunter! He was the best Hunting Buddy I ever ever had. Clifton Denney is my personal friend & mentor & a pro deer guide I know (Andy McGhee) told me Clifton was on here.. so glad I checked yall out!!!

My favorite episode so far. 🦌🦌🦌

Talking about having deer under you after dark and not climbing down, when I was younger and was really hardcore into bowhunting I would always put some rocks in my pocket before I went to my stand. If I had deer under me at dark and I was ready climb down I would throw rocks at them and run them off that way.

The entertainment alone was worth the watch

Just wanted to say that the CVS here in Louisiana looked at me like I was crazy when I asked about turpentine.

Lol the mom and pop pharmacy I went to in lake Charles did the same thing, but they had a display of an old medicine cabinet and there was a bottle from the 40s in there. Amazon hooked me up though

Here in central North Carolina wake county the deer will walk by a corn 🌽 pile to go eat white oak acorns… I’ve seen them bed beside feed trees and sometimes they will be feeding on acorns in the oddest places and bucks trail these does that know and the bucks sit back and wait until one comes into estrus…they are constantly moving and hard to pattern because they travel from feed tree to feed tree and may be in one block woods today and in another tomorrow and the old does know where to find feed trees and it can be easy or complicated !

East Texas boy here. Amazing podcast. Lots of great information. I will definitely be trying these tactics this deer season.

Being from SC this was an awesome podcast! Y’all should get Sonny on.

I’m from Lancaster county also. I gotta say we have some some cold killers with a bow. I kill my share with a bow for the last 25 years. 10-15 a year. I know about 8-10 others that hunt just like this. I thought everyone bow hunted like this. I kinda hate he passed this info on. Not being stingy……but we learned the hard way and I wished others did too. Woodsmanship plays a huge part, you gotta watch the wind and be extremely quiet. Nothing but experience will teach you how to read a feed tree. If it’s coming in……red hot….or going out. Don’t know Mr. Cope….but we hunt a lot alike. I only hunt WMA, no bait.

I’ve used cedar & pine cover scent and if you’re not in cedar thicket or pine thicket with either then any deer recognize a foreign smell in their living room that’s not normally there and it puts deer on edge and makes them skiddish and blow etc . The best cover scent is no scent …

has anybody noticed how the does seem to always know your there? I truly believe when shes harrassed by bucks and that she will lure him near the hunter hoping it will get the buck to stop harrassing, as long as she knows your there even tho she never came close to your stand before ....
