I’ve been hunting over 30 years. I’ve developed some very successful habits. First is I act like a buck when other hunters are in an area. I get the hell away from them and go up and deep. Also I scan a ridge and a valley and many times if I have a ladder or a climber or natural blind I will run to my spot in hopes of attracting noise for curious deer to come see what I am. In many cases they come running thinking I’m another deer . They’re very social creatures and to their detriment I capitalize on that. I’ve studied deer body language regarding their social skills. It’s hard to sneak up an a bedded buck because he’s not asleep he’s alert always. But I’ve gotten close by moving super slow and quiet. I usually don’t walk/stalk unless the leaves are wet and quiet. When they’re noisy I’ll try to come in as quiet as possible but I would start a run to a ladder in hopes of attracting curious deer. It worked for me many times. I also pay attention to noises and activities of other animals, birds and even bugs because they will alert you to large creatures moving in the woods. Also I’ve noticed something that I would love for wildlife biologists to study and that is the fact that when I’m hunting when the mosquitos are still active it never fails that when I’m straining to listen and pinpoint a noise of a possible deer I always always get a mosquito buzz my freaking ear hole. I think our body puts off a certain hormone or something that attracts mosquitos when we try to increase our sense of hearing. Call me nuts but it’s just one observation I have. I’ve taken many notes from conditions and observations of my hunts for years and think when I’m dead and gone my grandchildren will have some very interesting material to read….especially if they hunt. The thing that really pisses me off as a hunter is baiting deer with corn. They made it legal in north Ga and now everyone does it. It’s really hard as a hunter that hunts many private properties to get deer to leave the neighboring feeders. I just refuse to hunt over bait and it just cheapens the idea of actually hunting when you’re shooting fish in a barrel.

I really appreciate how you guys go the extra mile to educate the viewers on each video instead of just showing quick kills with little info like most other channels

I think alot of that has to do with the universal attitude of instant gratification instead of people not having the ability. Work ethic, patience and persistence are found in fewer people everyday. To develop those skills you need all three.

Thrilled to hear this talk. I am a biologist working to restore bobwhite habitat in South Carolina. The response of deer to habitats managed for wild quail is positive and unmistakable. Screening cover created by diverse herbaceous plant community offers (literally) tons of high quality forage during the growing season and bedding cover year around. That herbaceous plant community depends on sunlight and fire, as you guys pointed out.

I'd love to see more content like this from you guys . Hunting videos are cool but I'd rather learn

I'm from Michigan, a hunter per 75 acres is low pressure around here. I've seen 5 guys on 30 acres of private, 15-20 hunters on 200-500 acres of state land

As someone new to animal habitat management, their life cycles, feeding, bedding and hunting strategies, etc. And as a new property owner (it's not much, 25ac in central MO), this has been one of the most enlightening videos I've seen! And now I'm filled with ideas on how I can better develop my land so the deer, turkey and other animals have a quality living experience when on my property. Thank you!

Thank you for making this type of content. There is always plenty to be learned. I strive to learn something every time I get to hunt and if possible every trip into the field or forest.

I loved the MSU deer lab KZread videos on deer bedding. Very informative especially for Southern hunters. Their videos don't have many views though. Not sure why

What an educational video! So much “simple” knowledge that you wouldn’t think of. Keep them coming. Great job THP!

Absolutely awesome information! I love THP seeking out this golden info for us. They do the work and we learn from it. So thankful.

I hunt northern WI which entails national forest public land. The feds didn't like to cut mature stands of forest. In 2019 we had straight line winds that took out thousands of acres in Oconto and Langlade county. Now that they have had to cut to clean up the destruction zone deer numbers are finally increasing and the amount of forage the deer have has increased substantially. Thanks for the info and love these kind of videos.

These videos are incredibly fascinating. Answered many questions I've had. Thanks THP

Fantastic episode! It sounds like a great study and you guys did a great job with the questions. Thanks for such great content!

Probably one of the most informative videos dealing with pressured deer I have ever seen/heard. Good job guys. I got new property this year have a couple pics of a stud and I did not get to access property until Late September and it's thick. Trying to go in sparingly to see where to set up with out pushing him off the property. Good stuff.

Deer Dr.’s Demarais & Strickland were awesome guests to have on! They shared some valuable deer movement Intell thanks to Arron and Zach’s Q’s. Along with nocturnal buck movements, we’d be really interested in hearing about telemetry studies on buck movements during the rut, weather fronts, extreme wind, and average distance traveled between bedding and feeding areas, if studies exist. Thanks THP for making us students of our passion. And Zach, your quad and calf muscles explain your monkey abilities climbing up and down hills with ease!💪🏼🦌👍

Suggestion: bring pruning shears into every hunt. Snip branches off early season at 3 to 5 ft height. The fresh growth is way more appealing to deer.

Absolutely fascinating! Thanks for doing this!!!

I really appreciate and enjoy these educational type videos with these guys, Jeff Sturgis and others. This is very important to being a more consistently successful hunter is knowing your quarry’s behavior. 🏹🦌

Excellent video. I have been hunting on public land for over 40 years. I incorporate the hunting pressure toy advantage through many techniques. I can also say that I have taken deer in some weird places. One that comes to mind is an industrial park. It was a circular wooded area in the middle of a paved circle. It was across from a hunting plantation in SC. The bucks were in there heavy. I went in on a hunch that paid off.

Very great learning video, much needed, thanks guys!

Great content - THP just continues to deliver!

Love the content. Thanks for all the knowledge, definitely gunna put it to use this coming season

Awesome content and interesting to hear in these studies these bucks aren’t just headed to the hills once pressure is up

This was probably one of the most interesting deer hunting videos ever. 👍

pennsylvania game commission did a similiar gps study with deer and hunters, they found hunting pressure made the bucks go up to the mountain ridges, cuz most hunters arent gonna travel too far nor hunt arduously in steep terrain

That was funny when he said most people can't stalk up on a buck to those 2 guys haha.

Great content I learn something almost every time I watch on of your video. now I have to learn how to apply it here in WNC.

Amazing video. Just when you think your on top of the hunting game there always someone there to say OKAY NOW LETS START OVER AT CLASS 101. Wow. Lol. I’m starting next week to hit some really great state land here in upstate New York that’s sarounded by tons of ag land . This gave me the confidence I needed. Thank you so much. I’m on my second year of food plots and no big deer. The chase is on. Good luck this year.

i've always said from the min. they hear the first shots of squirrel season ....the bucks know it's on

I spend à lot of time scouting every year. Lately it's been all public land. Through that I've seen an enormous laking in land management . Î'm at the point now where I wonder if it would work to do a "adopt à public area" senario much like the "adopt à highway" programs out there.

I live in very south alabama and have a 27,000 acre WMA 10 minutes from my house that is bow only except for 4 weekends a year. The entire 4 month bow season I saw only 2 or 3 other hunters and I hunted 3-4 days a week. There's not enough hunters these days for the land to get the attention it needs it would seem

Depends on the state your in and the kind of public youre on, for quality of public land management. Im in Pennsylvania, and theres state gameland, which is supposed to be geared towards hunters, but i prefer state forest land, which is does state managed forest, and tends to have better game and nicer habitats

Makes sense as to why I see deer more often visit old hay fields over new seeded hay fields in my area. New seeded hay fields only have about 2 or 3 species compared to a dozen plus in the old. Even though the new seed seems higher quality.

Interviewer: "Most hunters aren't going to stalk a buck." Zach: Hold my beer

That’s really interesting information, I seen something similar scouting this spring as I marked trailing a certain bucks rubs and scrapes on onx and he totally avoided this guys stand area and stayed completely in the thick edge with his aggressive sign and never reached up to the stand a guy hung.

Wonderful video- I wish I could have watched this sooner. Unfortunately I was unsuccessful in my recent buck hunt

Great video guys. Love the knowledge.

Great video on topics we deer hunters wonder about

Great learning material guys. Thank You.

Now this is gold!!!!

Man I love these kinds of videos

Great controlled study almost exactly what some of figured.Returning to normal within a week is unusual,for those bowhunters who follow a very high pressured gunseason afterwards.I think it often takes a month,until bitter cold in December pushes bucks to forage farther,but still mostly at night. They need to have had cams out on the changes on day movements if much,after gun season.My guess is that the first half hour of light is mostly the only time shootable,after the first few days of heavy gunshooting.Sitting in or near the usual bedding areas may extend that to an hour after light.

Cool. An entire group talking about bucks and not one said "HORNS". Bravo!

love this content. keep it coming.

Thanks for the great video! In all my years of hunting I've found that you sit tight against the thick and swampy stuff and you'll be successful...maybe not on your time though! That buck only needs a 3 foot dry patch to bed on.

Man you got to do more of these!!!!!!
