How To Hunt Bucks During Gun Season

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Deer gun season has provided myself and my family some incredible life long memories throughout the decades. The tips in these video are some of my favorite for not only helping you find success, but to find a lot of personal enjoyment. Deer hunting during the annual gun season is always an incredible amount of fun, in particular if you take advantage of these gun hunting tips for the entire gun season. Just like the annual whitetail rut, the deer gun season is a marathon and not a sprint. If you view your gun hunt as a season full of opportunities and not just an annual opening day, success can easily be found during any day of the season. Enjoy these top 10 deer fun season tips...for the entire season!

    I find rifle season is so much more than hunting, it's about tradition, the stories, deer camp, and all other camaraderie

    It not about hunting . Gun season is about killing , family and friends . Hunting is a bow and muzzleloader thing . ALMOST TIME ! Weather looks warm this season too ! Lets hope the wolves didn't wipe out the deer again up north . They are back in force in 2019 . WE NEED A LEGAL HUNTING WOLF SEASON TO SAVE THE NORTH ! Wolves and Tzones 10 years ago have wiped out the deer herd up here in Bayfield and Washburn cos. We need to fight back against the idiot politicians and get wolves on the shoot list ! Why in the hell did we bring them back here in the first place ? O yeah the DNR told us why ...global warming .

    Good advice Jeff. I really like all your videos. Would like to see a video on us flatlanders in Kansas. I have a 1/4 section, 80 acres CRP, 40 acres tillable soil, 35 acres river bottom and other wooded areas with about 5 acres completely separated. It’s a tough hunt every year. The neighbor owns the land to the East (next to the river) and to the south (next to the secluded wooded area) and are known poachers. The tough part is holding deer on the property although the secluded 5 acres is a buck bedding area it directly abuts the neighbor. The really tough part is placing food plots where the neighbors cannot partake in their illegal activities.

    Great video - I used to be troubled by cold on the stand - especially late season. I found a couple of things that really help. My go to is a light blanket turned into a poncho - when you put it over your head it falls around your shoulders, over your back and down to your feet - the air space created between the blanket and your body is what keeps you warm - really warm. If it is really cold I will take a long scarf and put it around my waist like the Voyagers did - it snugs your hunting clothes up and keeps your lower back warm. If it starts raining or snowing my blanket poncho will shed the water or snow away from me. I was able to stay on stand in a bad snowstorm - when it let up I looked like a snowman because the snow doesn't melt on the blanket poncho . When the storm stopped before dark a nice buck came by and I was able to fill my tag.

    Thanks again Jeff I've learned a lot from you over the last couple years and have been able to apply that knowledge to several of my hunts. This year I passed on several Bucks that were just not old enough yet, but very nice deer, and it was very difficult to do that considering I only hunt 6 days a year during my "rutcation". I do get out for Gun opener weekend here in Wisconsin but usually let the younger kids shoot the deer I just go for the tradition mainly. I hope to be able to bow hunt more as I get closer to retirement because its something I look forward to the second I get out of my tree. By the way we are virtually neighbors when I Hunt down there in the driftless area. Thanks again for your passion.

    Great episode. Great tips. A lot that I myself have learned and practice over the years. I have always had an issue with cold feet. I have bought boots upon boots, I cant tell you how much I have spent looking for the perfect boot for me. I have bought some cheap boots and have bought some that I have spent 150.00 on and they still wouldn't keep my feet comfortable enough to sit all day even with toe warmers in. This year I decided to take my first ever trip to Cabela's in Sun Prairie and bought a pair of Cabela's Trans Alaska Pac Boots. These have to be the most comfortable and warm boots I have ever owned. I can sit the entire day with out getting cold feet. They may get cool by the end of the day but its a comfortable dry cool. I wear a pair of light liner socks with a pair of wool socks and I tell you, my feet have never been happier in these early cold conditions that we have had here in central WI over the past 19 days. If anyone is looking for a pair of great boots to keep you warm all day...I recommend Cabela's Trans Alaska Pac Boots. They run about $200.00 at Cabela's and Bass Pro Shop. Good luck everyone this year. Be safe out there!

    Nov, 23 I cannot sleep. I love to bow hunt but I live to rifle hunt. I’ll tell you why it’s because in California it’s late October but now being Tennessee resident it’s late November for deer. I’ve never hunted in late November and now it’s on. I’m very confident from trophy blacktail to trophy whitetail. I have a brand new passion. It’s healing to me after the fire. Hunting is truly my escape from my reality now. Thanks again for these videos. Paradise Strong!!

    I used to love rifle season, until I started bow hunting that is. I see much fewer deer during rifle season by far. It makes sense though. There is thousands more people going into the woods, and all ya hear is "BOOM!" all around. Deer are smart enough to know it's a bad time of year to move about, so they become much more nocturnal. Oh well, I still look forward to it for the nostalgia.

    I love this post, been hunting our 160 acre property in Clearfield County Pennsylvania on the Allegheny Plateau, my end little activity, going to have to start scratch plots this coming year, I hunt primarily two weeks of rifle. Soil is sandy with sandstone rocks ect , topsoil was lost due to last logging crew three years ago, will have to bring in some topsoil/mushroom compost soil loads to beef up the soil. I have been planting Dunstan Chestnuts for 10 years now got some nuts last year and this year all trees are caged...yes the deer love to eat the branches and leaves..... I would like to hinge cut a sanctuary in a few spots and plots elsewhere....her dad has a good clover plot, my fiancee has a decent clover chicory/extreme/no plow on the logging road in front of her box blind ,again loggers trampled it topsoil is gone will have to bring in more topsoil mushroom compost to get her stand working better. The red browse is mostly by those two stands and the deer have been hammering the regeneration shoots ....wish I could get Jeff out to do a survey

    This is a great video and makes many good points. I deer hunted from 1967 to 1976, then quit, and the premier things that I learned was to not make any noise and to try and free yourself of any human/food odors. In 1976, I hunted with a small group of older friends who had hunted for more years than me during archery season in Susquehannock State Forest, Pa. I slept outside in a cot and saw herds of deer every night 30 feet away from me. It was awesome. I missed two huge does the first day from a tree stand that was 20 feet in the air. After that, I quit, trading my weapons for a camera.

    Great video and very helpful for my first gun season coming up. I’m hunting public land, only started scouting in September of this year, and have spent copious amounts of time since then to hike study the land. I’ve trekked hours and hours in deep woods and swamps bumping deer here and there. My cameras have picked up lots of action but some action dried up in some areas recently. I’m in an area where there is only acorn mast for food and no ag. On top of the mast there are abundant buds and vegetation. I’m kinda overwhelmed by it all really. I expect to be disappointed but also am excited to get my first deer if God provides. I find being in the woods to be very enjoyable and serene if nothing else. Here’s hoping for success.

    I really envy you guys when you talk about "extra room" in your boots or gloves or whatever. I am 6'6" tall and just over 325 lbs. There is NO extra room! Maybe a couple extra Tic- Tacs but that's it. Try finding 15 EEE boots, or XXXL gloves that still fit thru a trigger guard on your rifle or shotgun! Being big isn't always better. Anyhow, good luck to everyone this deer season, keep it safe, sane and look out for your fellow man/women. We are very lucky to have the freedoms that we share and it is not something that we should take lightly. Happy Holidays everyone and go get the big one!

    Weather is perfect today upstate N.Y., seems the peak rut is on. Tomorrow is opening day, seeing plenty of Trucks with ATV on the pickup bed. Most hunters are from Downstate N.Y., NYC and Long Island. To everyone hunting tomorrow, Be Safe!

    Great tips that if actually used many more hunters would be successful. I am happy that most hunters are lazy and late. Strategy and tactics about other hunters is primary during gun season. I started at age 15. 43 years and counting, all God willing! A thermos of blackberry tea is lovely. I look forward to someday hunting from an enclosed blind. I dress lightly for the hike in. Carry the warm gear in a large backpack. A comfortable dry seat is essential.

    I’ve shot really nice bucks. Missed a good one on a quota hunt which was my fault. Best tip I have ever learned is find doe and you find bucks, be smart about wind, sit down and be quiet and it’s amazing at what can happen, especially sitting about 60 yards from a rub line.

    If I'm in a blind (and even sometimes in a stand), I'll bring a wool blanket out with me. It's especially helpful for that time before shooting light where you're just sitting there waiting to start hunting. Throw it over the entire front of my body, head and all to keep that heat in. In a stand, it also allows you to play around on your phone without the glow potentially giving you away. While hunting, I just throw it over my legs or maybe throw it around my shoulders.

    I like watching your videos even though I'm more of a meat hunter. I would love to shoot a big buck but honestly every time I have had the opportunity I seem to mess it up somehow. My time is limited this year so hate to say it to you. If I see a doe this morning it's probably going down. If I get a chance later in the season to go out I can take my bow. I have shot deer in rifle season and the tail end of late bow season . Actually I really like the last part of bow season a lot after rifle is all done.

    I set up a ground blind yesterday to try and make the deer take a different route to their bedding area for opening day here in New York. I can't cover both spots at the same time. After opening day around here deer activity goes straight nocturnal. Just trying something to give me a better chance.

    The thing I'm finding hard is getting close to the bedding areas without spooking the deer. The land I hunt is ag fields up front and the bedding is behind it. With a north wind it blows from the bedding to the fields. I would love to hunt the mornings in the woods but I haven't found a way to sit there without them smelling me going back to bed.

    When you are in close with the deer do you worry about what you bring to eat and drink scent wise? I try to bring things that have next to no strong scent or actually most times I just don't eat anything till I get out of the woods so I do not introduce any abnormal scents in the woods like chocolate or coffee.
