This dude is a genius.

I've followed the wind advice you gave me never paid much attention to it over the years of hunting and got a decent mature buck! Thank you and I enjoy your videos!

Jeff I have to thank you, I’ve watched hours of your videos and learned so much. Yesterday I harvested a huge buck thanks to your mock scrape strategy. It really worked like a charm I had bucks all over it for weeks. Thanks again and good luck with the rest of your season!

Just went out hunting for my first time last week, I didn’t get anything but it’s so peaceful being out there. I’ve got a lot to learn for sure, these videos help a lot!

I have been using your methods since last year. Harvested my first ever 10pt last November. You helped me so much!!

Hey Jeff thanks for the great video. I shot my buck at 6:35 this morning 5 miles north of Coon Valley. So pumped but we are gonna give him a bit of time and go in after lunch. Thanks again , You have been my #1 go to for knowledge on this matter for several years now so just wanna let you know how much I appreciate all you and Dylan and Diannes hard work. Five star

Exactly how I hunt. Last year I waited until the after the 5th of November to go in after a 10 point that just showed up on my trail cam. 10 am here he comes following a doe shot him at 10 yards. Good luck this year everyone and great video.

Jeff and Dillon, thank you for all you are doing. I've been following you for a while now. I just started to archery hunt last year and struggled. I hunt a small parcel less than 20 acres. This year I applied what you were saying, I worked my tail off preping the property easy access, to and from my stand , food , licking branch , mock scrape ,, all like you've been telling us . Saturday morning all my hard work paid off . Thank you so much . Biggest buck that I have ever taken . Following a doe, head down and focused on that doe had no idea I was there. Wind was perfect, I saw what the weather was going to be like just like you always say hunt the weather, all was perfect. My first archery bucket I'll remember forever I owe it all to you two gentleman, thank you.

Hey Jeff I had a magical sit on public land in Pennsylvania yesterday saw 4 does and 6 bucks and my huntcast app was saying a 70% day it really payed off. I saw more deer yesterday then I have all year thanks for all the tips. Everything is really paying off

I wish my wife would tell me I need to get out there!!

@@shandonmeadows8620 Thank you. I took the wife and she shot the first deer that came along and missed. She did drop the second deer she saw though later aft. There are still more deer hanging around. Hunting is harder with the wife...

It’s on in La Crosse, WI! HunCast hasn’t let me down yet. Thanks for all the knowledge sharing, Jeff. I’ll share your lessons with my kids one day. Happy Rut folks!

I'm in central VA. My buddies think I'm crazy for having 7 stands on 27 acres. I have been following Jeff's videos and attempting to adopt his methodology for my micro parcel for 3 years now. I'm 44 years old, I have taken many Deer and Elk in my lifetime, but never an old mature buck. That is, until yesterday. We had a 25 degree temperature drop. I took a 5 year old buck out of a fresh stand at 11:50 am. The proof is in the pudding! Jeff's content is the real deal, and if you are new to it. You should go back and watch every video. These videos have changed the way I hunt, the way I access my property, the way I plant and what I plant. Most of all, it has changed what I experience when I am in the woods. Thanks Jeff!

That’s awesome! I’m in SE VA hunting public land all over. Usually just a climber but hopefully in the next few years I can pick up a parcel of my own and start following this method! Happy hunting 🇺🇸

Being from MS and hearing how that buck charged U almost sounds unbelievable but super cool! Always appreciate the videos and soak up as much info I can for not only my home leases, but my out of state hunts as well!

I am 14 and I’m new to hunting these videos are helping lots thanks for the good advice

I learn more from Jeff sturgis than any other hunter I’ve watched......one thing is all his tactics make sense 👍🏻🇺🇸

Using all your information and using HuntWise yesterday huntwise had 100% deer movement all day long and lo and behold yesterday afternoon I shot a big mature 8 point at 3:45pm here in western ky! He field dresses 270 pounds! 21 inch spread 8 point!! Thanks Jeff and hunt wise for all the great tips and advice

Thanks for all the great info I was able to harvest a 3 1/2 year old 6 point off my new property on Oct 31st. Hunted the cold front with use of the food plots, and mock scrape. And have seen many nice younger buck on cameras.

Got my central Wisconsin November buck this morning, on the 1st. My 44th bow season, and my biggest buck ever. (This also happened to be the biggest day in weeks according to the Huntcast forecast :- ) Thanks Jeff!

Great info Jeff! Seen 3 small bucks this morning here in NC! Its cranking up for sure...Thanks for the vids keep them comming..good luck!

Jeff great video, cant believe how much I've learned from you since this summer, really changed the way I deer hunt and because of that I harvested a 2 year old 8 point yesterday in Southwest PA. thanks again Jeff keep the great content coming.

Love this channel, almost 130K subs!! I've enjoyed watching your channel grow.. BTW, how do you always seem to put out videos that pertains to my exact situation.. yesterdays blood trail video hit home so hard, being that the night before we ended up jumping a huge doe I shot because I didn't use enough patients... we watched the video and all asked ourselves, " who called Jeff and told him"... we did recover her the next morning.. but HUGE lesson learned. Thanks for everything you do Jeff, I'm 100 times better hunter than I ever thought I'd be because of your generosity.. 🙏🙏

Congratulations brother on the great deer. You put your work in and you deserve every one of them and your family to. Y’all put in a lot of sweat blood and tears to get deer like that. I’ve killed several bucks on the December rut the second one. Be safe and good luck to y’all GOD BLESS Amen 🙏

Mid Indiana here, its starting to get active here. Lots of cruising bucks at night. Gets the blood going. Can't kill'm from the couch, get out there and have fun with it using this info to better your odds. Buck in my profile picture was shot at day break Nov 21st a couple seasons ago. Banged up bad from fighting, split eye and punctures all over his neck. Good luck and God bless. Another great video boys!

Followed your tips and had a 160 inch buck come in to the scrape yesterday at 10 yards but first time sitting and had a branch in my way so I couldn’t draw my bow back!!! Talk about a roller coaster of events

I’m 41 killed lots of deer good many big bucks & this dude makes me realize my mistakes & most ppl around here think I’m good!

You taught me well Jeff!! This is exactly what I did on Friday morning. Weather was great first sit of the year in that stand, never sat there before. Was waiting for perfect wind and the right weather front, and it all came together!! Ending up shooting a real nice 8 pointer, it was one we had on camera all fall, and was on our hit list!!

Seen a few little bucks running last few days in northern MN. Spoke with another guy tonight, he had 2 mature bucks battling it out tonight over a group of does. It's getting good.

Great guy. Love these kinds of videos, solid knowledge and he knows extaly what he is talking about! Thank you so much for the info!!

first day out and got me a beautiful buck and then a monster doe. Thank you for the help, used some strategies you have talked about!

But one big things to remeber. Why we all have stories and they are all diffent is. Bucks are all individuals and choose to do what they want when they want. Hunting is soo great!

As always great info Jeff. I watched two doe today in PA getting chased by two nice looking bucks.. I can't wait to get out in my new stand hopefully this week weather pending.

Jeff the best way to move those heads....is too take a sheet of OSB and using 2-3 drywall screws per head just line them up and screw thru the backside of the OSB into the back of the shoulder mount. It will lock them down and you should be able to get 8 or more on the 1 OSB sheet.

I know it's not a great day but when you only have Sunday's to hunt I hunt thanks for all the great info all year long it's been raining all night and started snowing in my area and high winds but its supposed to calm down in about a hour I haven't sit in the same spot yet so hope it works out today

Dude you're so freaking cool. You know whitetails better than anyone....kudos to you and your gift from God above.

I'm moving early December & iv been packing or getting ready to move all of the hunting season so far. I will definitely be hunting the next 2 weekends.

Thank you Jeff.

Flying up to SW Wisconsin tomorrow. From your videos I believe I’m a “valley” across from you. Unfortunately it’s going to be warm. Good info in your videos

Finishing up new house myself. Really exercising patience by not being in the woods too much. Here in middle TN muzzle loading about to open up. Looking to get in 2-3 days if prime weather hunting. Good luck with the move. 👍🦌

Hi Jeff im a new hunter I’m waiting you videos every single day is ben my 4 week in the woods and there is a lot of deer last weekend I was Craig in my tree stand asking me what is going on is my four weekend and I have not shot a deer but I’m not going to give up I believe in your strategy and I’m going to get my first deer thanks jeff

Awesome informative video. Almost rifle season here in MO wish me luck boys. Public lands here I come

Patience patience patience, hard to do sometimes. Especially on smaller private properties!

Me lives in Wisconsin but is also 10 miles from Minnesota, love to hunt Wisconsin, good vid

Jeff you are awesome!

Chinook warm for the next three days then cold and snow on the backside prime time in the north!

Smart! I agree 100%, do not over Hunt a piece of land. Absolutely most important thing, DO NOT OVER HUNT hahah. Main thing Trail cameras have taught me over the years while hunting my spots, is most times the deer show up on cam where I’m not currently hunting. Do the math. Excellent content.

Nice video Jeff. I have yet to shoot 2 bucks from one stand bow hunting like you said my favorite one is the one I'm gonna get my next buck

I know I have two nice bucks near my house but apparently everyone else knows it also. The woods have been absolutely hammered. On my way to work yesterday morning right at daybreak I saw an absolute monster.it has been bright nights with a big moon but last night was overcast drizzly and dark.i hope I am right but I believe there is going to be good movement this morning. I'm going hunting this morning, just so happens I work the night shift tonight. I would love to see that buck in the back of the truck before work. Take care your videos are great.

Excellent! Like usual!

I live in Northern NY rifle opening is November 17th to December 10th then muzzle loader for another week. Some of my best hunting has been that late season second rut. Big bucks will move late season that second rut can be a good time. Also hunting food sources that time of year ive been successful. That cold weather they move alot. But I'm also killing mainly good 4 or so year olds not 6+ year olds. I hunt public swamps where no one goes. I carry a wooden plank to cross the creek that runs through the swamp. Its deep with no bottom. I also bring an 8 foot step ladder to sit on to see over the cat tails. I find bucks lay on small islands surrounded by water. Especially if it holds a tree. Its alot of work to get back there but it usually pays off.

Love your videos!

Hey Jeff, as always thanks for the great info and content. Watched ya for awhile now, i heard ya mention it, but have always wondered if you've tried West Virginia? I hunt almost exclusively public land here in our eastern panhandle (in between PA and VA with Maryland across the river) I've been truly blessed to take some decent bucks for our area and on public land to boot! Got an awesome and my first ever 10 point this October 4th hunting the acorns. Like somebody else said, people around my area think I'm good or lucky depending in who ya ask. Lol. But there's always somethin ya dont know! Thanks for always keeping it real and helping real hunters! As always great content and happy hunting!

In Texas now miss Wisconsin everything is big in Texas except the deer on public land 😁 I remember back in the seventies before all the mong started hunting it was good times hunting in Wisconsin

I’d like to hear your thoughts about going out of state onto family owned private land for two weeks that you don’t have the chance to pre scout. Just picking up heading there and hunting. How to scout it how to plan hunting but not scare out or bump deer from the property and get a good quality mature buck. Love all the content and I feel I’m becoming a better hunter watching all your videos! Thanks Jeff! Fellow Michigander

Your last video you picked Lansing,MI and said Sunday was going to be good day to hunt based on Hunt Cast. Weather is snow and 44MPH gusts. Weather man can't get it right.

Just found this channel and have watched at least 10 videos alone today. Great stuff! I know your mostly hunting the northern states. Not sure of if the choice for food plots apply to North Carolina where I just purchased 144 acres to start managing.

Jeff - Your ‘playbook’ has paid huge dividends already for me this year with 2 nice Maryland 8-pt. I always put the weather as my priority. This coming Saturday I head to Missouri for an annual trip and with definitive travel plans, etc, I can’t forgo sits for the week. The weather looks warm our first first few days there (low 70s for a high). Not ideal for peak rut. Any thoughts on stand placement with those conditions? Keep up the great work! Awesome content.

Can I come hunt with you Jeff?!? I love your videos. Been watching for about 2 years now. Love the content!!!

Would you hunt at all this week in southwest wisconsin after today with this warm weather all week. Or would you just wait till the big temp drop 11/9? 11/9-11/10 looks great !

Jeff, I am a newer whitetail hunter and huge fan of yours!! Trying to learn all I can from you. I have 90 acres with lots of does and get fawns and spikes but not seeing mature bucks (you probably would haha.) Is there anything to having too many does on my land? Wondering if a slight thinning of does would do anything. I know nothing so this may be idiotic. haha. Thanks Jeff!!

Jeff how about a video on rules to hunt when its windy as heck

Great information but most of this only applies to people that have a large place to hunt. He’s talking about you beat stands... My place is so small I only have 1 stand to hunt! Lol

Jeff have you done a video on how to choose correct locations for stands ?

We have some heavy wind coming in tomorrow Mon 2nd in Maryland 20/30 MPH Im off but not sure if i should go or wait until my next days off thur/fri ? . Its public land and the spot has just started showing good sign . Thanks Jeff .
