00:00:02 Speaker 1: Welcome to the Wired to Hunt podcast, your home for deer hunting news, stories and strategies, and now your host, Mark Kenyon. Welcome to the Wired to Hunt Podcast. I'm your host, Mark Kenyan. This episode number two and today on the show, we are back for another episode of RUT Radio, in which we're getting from the field reports from hunters all across the country about the latest deer activity, the progress of the RUT, and the tactics working right now. All right, and welcome Hugh the Wired Hunts Podcast, brought to you by As you can tell, this is an on the road edition. I am driving to a new spot to hunt, but we are still here for RUT Radio. We're talking to a bunch of honors across the country to find out what's happening in the white tail, what's right now and holding down the fort in our South Dakota, South Dakota not South Dakota, South Dakota studio. Spencer is over there. How are you man? I'm doing good, Mark. I am very excited that it is now November November six, as Brety cord this and tomorrow November seven, the hunting will be even better than this today. And I'm going to reference an article that's gonna be coming out on Meat Either tomorrow, UM that I wrote called the Best Day of the white Tail wrote where I talked to ten big buck experts and the date that was picked by the majority of them is the favorite is November seven. So when this episode drops, uh, the hunting is going to be great, as they all predict, and the majority of them pick a date between November seven and November ten, And so we are absolutely in the best time of year here for a white tail archery hunter. I will not just agree with that. It is that, man, It's what we've been waiting for. Me last week, I know we were talking about it being on our doorstep, and now it is actually here. And Um, from everything I'm hearing across the country, there's been a lot of action. I've been seeing some action. UM. So this is my kind of report week. I like it so on a one to ten scale, I'm gonna give it like a seven or eight probably. UM. Maybe a few days ago I were told you eight. Maybe by today I would tell you it's dropped down to a seventh. UM. Earlier this week in over the weekend was seeing a lot of chasing. UM. A lot of young young bucks all over the place chasing. And then um, I did see there's one mature bubble several three year olds, so in Michigan, that's a kind of mature box. Um, so three year olds running all over the place. And then one five and a half year odbluck that I've been seeing that has been chasing does too. But the biggest thing has been doing over the last six days, he's been most of that time been locked onto a dough. So I actually saw this buck breed dough right in front of me. So, um, there's definitely some of that happening in the woods here in Michigan. And the last day or two a lot of my friends have been kind of experiencing the same thing, almost locked down type of conditions, and that they're not seeing the many deer just today and yesterday. Um. Now, of course, this is just based on anecdotal, you know, observations and a few people. So I'm sure there's other people that are seeing all sorts of seeking and chasing and craziness like that. Um, But just me and a handful of folks, it seemed like I was seeing that on the second, third, fourth, and the last couple of days of slow just a bit, but um, but still it's it's exciting stuff. Are you seeing anything similar to that? Yeah, I was seeing really great movement like starting in the October, like late October twenties through a few days ago. Now the movement has still been solid these last few days, but I don't think it was has been as good as what it was like five days ago, seven days ago. Now I'm hesitant to say that's like the best hunting is behind us, or that this is an early rutt. We do need to acknowledge that the rutting moon was October twenty four this year, which calls for an earlier ruts. Um. And I think that's something will take a look at at the end of the season here Mark when we do our recap episode, because um, some early signs here are showing that maybe the rut was a little bit sooner this year, or the maybe not the rut, but the best rutting movement, uh has been taking place a little bit earlier than maybe normal. Yeah. I mean, like you said that around that time frame of the quote unquote rutting moon, a lot of big gear we're getting shot. I mean a ton so I don't know if there's anything to it. You know, we we've kind of talked about in the past. Interesting theory and you can't argue with the activity that focus all this year, So it'll be interesting to see how the rest of the rut progresses. You know. Another another kind of moon related theory. UM, the Drewies like to talk about how the moon exposes some of the running activity, daylight ruting activity, and this year, based off the timing of the moon, they were thinking that it was going to be more of a trickle run um, so kind of scattered running movement and UM, more kind of based around fronts and then slightly better early time period kind of like what we saw, and then a little bit slower during the typical best time period, so let's say the first week of November UM, and then they were predicting maybe a little bit better than usual later in the month. UM. So that's another one those moon ideas that I don't know what to think about it, but it's kind of interesting. UM. So be interested to hear with the reports that we get to this week, so that if they're all seeing something kind of similar to you and me UM or not. Yeah, definitely something that, like I said, I think we'll revisit at the end of the year when we recap season. But on this week's episode we have Michael hans Sucker from Heartland bow Hunter in Missouri and then in South Dakota from the Outdoor Forum is Dylan Tramp. Then we talked to Andrew Maxwell in Alabama from The Southern Outdoorsman, and then Byron Horton in Ohio from the White Tail Experience Excellence and anything else we have to cover between you and me or do you think we should just get to those uh folks from cross Country? Well, one thing I want to ask you, Mark and is a question that on this week's episode I ask all of our guests, is that what is your ideal ruts set up? Like? Paint us that picture of this time of year November seven, where you want to be sitting uh to catch a mature buck moving moving. So usually my favorite place to be at this time of year is on the downwind side of a perfect betting doe betting air, perfect doll betting area. Um if that downwind side of a doe betting year, it also happens to be where habitat and terrain kind of pinch movement into a slightly smaller area too. That's even better because, like again I think you know, it's at the simplest level, when you're hunting the rut, it's either doe betting areas or pinch points, you know, connecting betting years or betting defeating years, because we're just trying to catch those bucks moving between those dough hotspots. UM. So if I were to elaborate a little more, let's say we got a let's say it's like a big brushy field. I really love spots where you can see during the rut as well. And this is very dependent on the areas you're at. But if you've got kind of betting here, that's like, let's call it the big crp field, maybe scattered feeders around it, um, some scrubby brush it's it's a doe betting area, but it's also the kind of area that you can sit on the edge of it and see a bunch of it. That's awesome to me because you get the benefit of being on the downloads of a doe betting area, but then you also get the added benefit of being able to see bucks moving in and around it, and then you can call, and at this time of year, calling works better than any other time in the year in my opinion. So that's kind of an ideal setup. I'd love to be, you know, maybe on the edge of that CRP seater brushy field. Um. Let's say in a perfect world that I also have like a steep ravine behind me, or a creek or a river behind me, so my wind is blowing back over a barrier that the deer aren't gonna be crossing, so they're not gonna win me. I can see this whole area, but any buck that wants to smell that still betting area is going to come in between me and that you know, betting area, but that river is going to force them to be in front of me. Um, that would be a perfect scenario. I can't tell you I've found that perfect scenario all that many times. Um, but that's the kind of thing I'm looking for at least. Yeah, I would agree with you that betting is key to look for and having those funnels or pinch points. Uh. You know, largely, if I was picking out a place to hunt for this week with a bow, I'd be looking for someplace that's been unpressured uh, you know, unpressured from yourself making sure others haven't been in there. If you were on public land looking for those places that people have not been, so those deer are as comfortable as possible. Hopefully you know, you've been saving a spot for early November like this, and that's something you could take advantage of right now. Yeah, and then to go with that, just pinch points and funnels and probably worrying less about food sources. You know, maybe traveling to food but not actually sitting on food. And then uh, you know, you can look for sign, but I think at this point a lot of this sign has gone cold, so that's not necessarily something that you need to be like, oh I have to find a scrape line to sit on. Yeah. Yeah, at this point, it's just fine. I mean, if you really want to keep it simple, find the does. That's kind of the name of the game. Everything revolves around that. And then just putting in the time. I mean, if if you're if you're in those areas, a bucks gonna be checking for does. If you spend enough time there and make sure you're hunting it smart, something's gonna happen. It's just a matter of being able to grind it out absolutely, all right, Mark, well, good luck with your rutcation here coming up in Michigan. But let's get to our verse color. I'm good man, thank you, and good luck you too. Before we get to our first update, though, let's pause for a word from our sponsors at white Tail Properties. This week with white Tail Properties, we are joined by Dave Skinner, a land specialist out of Kentucky, and Davey is going to be telling us about what to look for when buying a property with intentions of early season white tail hunting. Yeah. Like Kentucky, our season comes in on September. And if you're looking specifically for that early season hunt, there's a couple of things. Keep them on one. Just like late season food sources are keen um. And there's two food sources in Kentucky that trump everything else in September, soy beans and acorns. Um. If I'm looking to hunt specifically that early season, I want to make certain I either have slay things on the property or Jason to the property. More than anything, though ecorns are always number one, I want to know that there's white oak trees on the property. Um. We those one of those eight wards are following. That's where the zeal will be. If you'd like to learn more and to see the properties that Dave currently has listed for sale, visit whitetail properties dot com. Backslash skinner that's s K I N N E R alright and Enjoining us on the line next is Mike han Sucker from Heartland bow Hunter in Missouri. Now, Mike in Missouri. What would you say the Buck activities been lately? On a scale of one to ten, it's been pretty good. Um Man, I'm probably I say eight, uh, yeah, something the ruts obviously just you know, I'm getting kicking and going and um. The past you know, several days, four or five, six days, we've seen uh several of our target bucks five and a half year old bucks, and um, you know, we just haven't had the luck on our side they come together. But we've been seeing them and have a lot of close closing couters, close calls. Um, you know, they're out chasing looking, you know, trying to find those first dose coming in the heat. Mike, tell me a little bit about what your ideal rot setup is, a little bit about what the kind of things you're looking for this time of year and where your tree Stanny's place, hoping to catch them with your buck. Honestly, I kind of bounced around. Um, I love honey with the decoy, and especially this this time of year when you know the bucks are getting real territorial and like you know, looking for that first though coming in the heat. Like I love being in a position to where you can see a long way, you can call and you can have a decoy out. Um. If I can't do that, my my, you next best thing is going to be, you know, somewhere tight in Noptember, close to bedding to where um, you know you're you're gonna be in the action because you know, food plots and you know feeders and that type of stuff, like that's all dead this time of year. Like the deer aren't. They don't care about the food. They're not they're not focused on that. But dose are getting harassed that are in the food plots, that are you know, at the feeders, they're getting messed with, so they're in hiding and so um, you know, it kind of just takes all that off the table. Tell me a little bit about your decoy strategy. If it's a bucker dough and what their posture is. Like I've actually only really done a buck decoy, um, and you know I've I've literally like this. The other day, I was like, you know, what a doughty quo would be great because one of our uh bucks that we were you know, targeting, actually came out and we called to him and he was on a string coming to us, and he looks over to the right and all of a sudden, dough over to the right and he sees her in his bolts right to her. And so I was like, man, like, you know, maybe a doughty coy would work working actually, but I haven't messed them too much. But the buck decoy, you know, like it works. Have I found it to work with? You know, all sorts of ages hate class of bucks, and so you know, typically we're gonna, um, you know, set it depending on the win and how things go. And we put it out twenty third yards in front of us and um in a high visibility areas where you gonna see you know, deer and be able to call to them get their attention in the lock m dego in I've got some pretty good luck over the past few years, and um, it's I mean, I'm telling you there's no more exciting way to hunting white tales and with a pego. And are you doing one antler or two antlers? And are you changing the years at all to uh maybe adjust their posture. Yeah, so we I'm using the DFD buck decoy, which is UM by design aggressive postures years laid back. One or two antlers, just depends on if one falls out when I'm walking in and out. But uh, you know it's, UM, it's a respectable hunter five inch eight pointer, so you know, nice buck, and UM I've done in both ways. You know, I'm like, if I lose an antler or whatever falls off, or I don't have both of them, I'm like, yeah, whatever, it's you know, a in the matter too much. I mean, some of the smaller bucks obviously maybe not get super aggressive with it. But you know, when you get a big, dominent, mature deer that seem a degal, it doesn't matter if he's got both sides and not, he's coming after him. I know you run a lot of trail cameras on your farm. Do those give you any valuable until this time of year? Or are you hunting the areas you're gonna be haunting regardless of what those are telling you. Yeah, they actually do. And it's funny, I kind of I don't know. I I try to put too much weight their effort into the trail camera situation this time of year, but um, I don't know. I feel like this year and in the past couple of years, like you know, you get to the intel on when a buck is is not with a dough, and like they get with the dough and they it seems like on the areas that we're hunting, you know, high density are high density areas, you know, the deer are when they get a dough and they kind of isolate themselves. They kind of locked down and they try to get, you know, away from everything else. And when they don't have a dough, they just are cruising on the loose. And just the other day we had a hunt where we had I saw two different five and a half ye old bucks in the same hunt, both of them literally running around like what a check with their head cut off, like looking for that next dough. And so trail cameras can be sued in that aspects. Is like when you know a buck breaks from a dough and it's on the loose looking for one, um, and that's time to get after it. And that's where you know, the use of cellular technology and the cell cameras has changed things because we don't like to tromp around this time of year and like check camp and check a bunch of cameras start to figure stuff out, you know. But if you're getting on your phone, getting on your computer and you know, get the intel right there, then it helps you know when when you're gonna be freeing up and on the loose. I imagine every fall you're getting bucks this time of year that you have never seen before. Has that happened yet this season where you're finding some mature bucks moving that you've never seen or maybe have been seen since the summer. Yeah, yeah, definitely. Um it kind of throughout the year there's this you know, deer moving in, deer moving out kind of deal. And it's funny that you know, you really sort of notice that the morning we running cameras and we gotta keep tabs on things. You know, some of the deer that show up like late October every year are are going up the same you know, four or five days were year, and so we gotta keep keep taving on and kind of understand, you know what when deer moving in, when they're moving out, and we just are you know, strategies based off of that, because especially if we're gonna have a deer that usually leaves us and go somewhere else and then we're gonna target him early season, and or if we have a deer that's coming in you know, this time of year, then well we'll kind of hold off and wait and see what happens. And so, yeah, it's definitely changed things the way we look at it going forward. Then in the sixt week or so, what do you think that bug activity is going to be on a scale of one to tending Missouri. I don't know about that the whole next week, but a little bit tomorrow, Like tomorrow is I'm so excited about tomorrow. Like we've had just raining, nasty weather and today was good, but it's super windy, windy, windy all day. So tomorrow it's gonna be a little calm, cold front coming in. It's gonna be the cold morning in the past week or so, it's not more. And uh, I think tomorrow is gonna be the best day of of the November and so I don't know how that'll pay out the rest of the week. Obviously later in the week, I'm sure that you know, a lot of people are gonna experience you know, what they call luckdown and um, so you know you're gonna hit her miss necessarily, but tomorrow should be awesome. Alright, Mike, I like your optimism and good luck in Missouri. Thanks for joining me, all right, thanks alright and joining us on the line. Next is Dylan Tramp from the Outdoor Forum in South Dakota. Now Dylan in South Dakota. What would you say the buck activity has been lately on a scale of one to ten, Man, I'd have to say it's probably a solid nine. Bucks have been on their feet pretty much all throughout the day and things are starting to happen, that's for sure. And so this time of year, what would be your ideal set up? Um, what's the kind of area you're looking forward to kill a mature buck in early November? Well, I spent most of my time hunting public land, so key that I will look for is and an unpressured area, place where I don't expect to see hunters, and then within that area find a find a good funnel where it just is naturally going to funnel the movement. If they're signed any robber scrapes, more the better, But mainly that funnel is what you're looking for to or from different betting areas and in just a gateway that you can most likely intercept the cruise and buck. You mentioned before that you've been seeing some midday movement. Tell me a little bit about that. You have the most mature, the biggest book I've seen so far. He was at one o'clock and he was already has about well I think it was November two. He was already on the move, just cruising looking for those. You can tell he was on mission. There's been some smaller bucks moving mid day too, but it's just starting to heat up that it's an exciting time of the year we all look forward to. You're talking about signmaking a little bit before. What are you seeing for robs and scrapes or those still active or do you think maybe those have gone cold? I think they're still active. The scrapes that I've sat here seems to like the little bucks and yearlings are getting them and freshening them up, and the two and three year olds that have been walking through. They seem to just walk right past the scrapes. I don't think they're so concerned with that right now, they're looking for the dough and eat. I think, will you do any calling this time of year? I know you haunted public lands, so maybe that has you hesitant to do any calling. But is that something that you use. Yeah, just tonight I debated that same thing, like, well, I'm sure they've heard every grunt and rattle rattle packing on the market today, so I decided not to call the night. But I always keep the grunt too handy for rock calling. Scenario that you've got nothing to lose, then I'll whip it out, but I don't rely too heavily on it. You're in eastern South Dakota running some trail cameras on public land. Does that give you any really valuable intel for this time of year? Or regardless of what your trail camps tell you, you're gonna be hunting the same areas you'd be hunting even if they were lit up with giant bucks. Yeah, that's that's a tough one because my true chemists haven't been too good this year. But yeah, though, if you've got them up in all summer. They'll tell you what's in the area, and things definitely change on public land, but you can key in on a few good bucks in the area, then if you likely to figure out travel corridors, you might just intercept them. Definitely a good tool even for the public land hunter. But you're gonna lose wonder for once in a while, just part of the game. This week in South Dakota, we've been dealing with a lot of rain, sometimes snow, sometimes freezing rain. Have you noticed any deer movement being affected by that? Yeah? I was. I was pleasantly surprised two days of rain that I said in this week, they're they're moving. Didn't even I didn't even phase them. I was kind of hoping the movement below so I could go home and get drying. But it wasn't the case going forward in a sixt week or so, what do you think that bucket activity is going to be on a scale of one to ten in South Dakota? Solid ten. I mean, this is this is the time of year we all wait for. I think the I think everyone talks about the Bell curve. I think the rut and all the activities heating up up until I don't know, maybe the tenth so I think the best is yet to come. Still, our Dylan, good luck in South Dakota. I hope you're sending me a big buck down text very soon. Thanks for joining me, I hope so thanks alright and joining us on the line. Next is Andrew Maxwell and Alabama from the Southern Outdoorsman. Now, Andrew in Alabama, what would you say the bucket activity is bent Lateley on a scale of one to ten, um, I would have to probably give it a solid five for these last few days. Um. We had some pretty decent cold temperatures last week and a lot of deer hit the ground, but as of last few days, it's been pretty warm, and the activity that I've been seeing from myself as well as my buddies and our trail cameras, we're definitely seeing more nighttime movement, um, especially on the scrapes and everything. We put a lot of trail cameras on scrapes this time of year, and pretty much everything has been at night in the last few days now. While the rest of the country is talking about seeking and chasing and peak road and lockdown, that kind of thing. You guys are well behind the schedule. When it comes to that, what stage is what would you say that you're part of Alabama is in. I would definitely say that we're kind of in the later part of our early season. For the vast majority of Alabamians. We're probably roughly two months out from the rut. You're gonna have pockets here and there that run a little bit earlier than that, but yeah, I mean, we're we're still a long ways out for the rut. So everything that we're kind of focusing on right now is definitely still that like almost like a bed of food pattern. And we're even still seeing bucks batcheled up in some places. A little bit earlier, you talked about some scrapes. Are you seeing a lot of signmaking it or is it too early for that. It's still pretty early for it, but I am starting to see rubs here and there, and once you get in on some good betting, you'll find some community scrapes opened up. But the vast majority of of sign making that that we're looking for right now is definitely just feed sign buck sign. I would say it's pretty sporadic and not something to necessarily focusing on right now for us, at least, if I can find a nice community scrape which I have too located right now, that is, you know, in very close proximity to a betting area, like within one yards, I'll definitely be hunting that. Even though we're way out from the rut. I run cameras on those kind of scrapes from basically September until whenever I take it out, which is usually December, so and they have daylight movement on them pretty much all season, even though we're still, you know, well over two months away from the rut. Throughout most of the state, they're still using those scrapes and communicating. So I'm actually gonna sit on one tomorrow and hopefully catch a buck you know, poking out of that bedding area a little bit before dark check out that scrape before he goes to feed. You referenced on focusing on bed to food. What are those food sources that you're checking out right now? So right now, it's definitely heavily white oaks and red oaks um as usual, And as far as greens go, we're we've been seeing a lot of deer feeding on clover, particularly um. I don't know if asked to do the warmer temperatures or what, but it seems like clover is doing good right now. So if you've got clover on your property, that's probably something good key in on. And other than that, just natural brows. Um. If you can find some like poke salad or something that's still still nice and green, they're eating on that pretty hard as well as greenbrier. But acorns definitely trump everything right now for us. Will you hunt any mornings this early in the season, I've I've found it a few so far. Um, I don't necessarily like it that much, which is kind of something I've been changing this year. I've definitely seen a lot more productivity on my afternoon hunts for sure. Pretty much every afternoon I'm seeing deer, and mornings just haven't been very productive. And same thing with all the guys I know and keep in touch with around the state. Most everybody's been killing deer in the evenings, specifically bucks Going forward in the sex week or so, what do you think that bucket activity is going to be on a scale of one attend in Alabama? Honestly, I would say that this Saturday will probably be up they're around like a nine. We're getting a good rainstorm Friday across most of the state with a nice cold front pushing in, and conditions couldn't be any better, especially for those scrapes that I just mentioned. So I think this weekend will be really, really good. All right, Andrew, Well, I'm definitely jealous of the weather you guys have down there, but I'm happy my part of the country is running, so good luck in Alabama. Yeah, I appreciate it, Spencer, alright, and joining us on the line next is Byron Horton from the White Tail Experience in Ohio. Now, Byron in Ohio, what would you say the bucket activity has been lely on a scale of one to ten. I would go with what we've seen over the last couple of days of solid seven so one. I almost hit a basket rack driving home from work today, um so so so that was interesting. And then on on Saturday, we we had a four point come in, grunning and kind of pushing around a dough and had two bucks then show up, oh roughly an hour later. And I don't know if we witnessed maybe the one of the early days coming in, so so it was kind of the train of bucks effect, and we ended up harvesting um one of the bucks that came in later that day. UM. And then obviously tonight we we did have a spike bumping some dose um around. So so definitely the younger bucks, and then then some of the older class are starting to make themselves visible and showing their running behavior in a place like Ohio and hunting public land. Like you guys do, what is your ideal set up for the rut oh Um, Sometimes we'll tap into a historically really good spots that we've got a little more experience with. Obviously, we got to look at the pressure situation heavily. Um. If we're seeing how the state guys um coming in, which is pretty popular to this time of year, we know that that's a little bit higher caliber of hunter and we tend to avoid those areas and and maybe either revisit those real late in November or just write them off completely. So yeah, pressure is the name of the game right now for us. We are there any food sources that you're focusing on specifically or does that kind of go out the window this time of year. You know, I'm not too concerned with with food sources this time of year. I'm I'm keying in a lot more on doe betting, UM, and and maybe situations where there's still some private land food and public land bettings. How about with signmaking, are you still find finding rubs and scrapes that look fresh? Yeah? I was bouncing around um this weekend and came across scrapes that were still opened up within the last twenty four hours easily. UM. I think that's something to watch. But I wouldn't. I wouldn't be hitting that near as hard as I would have five to six days ago. UM. I think you're you're better off to concentrate on those and terrain type features that funnel them in. Do you guys use any trail cameras on public land? You know? Yeah, we currently have some long term soakers. UM. We're also some pulling a couple of different trail cams that will set out in midsummer knowing we're gonna hunt an area and then pull that card and depending on neither number of shooters or if one good shooters in there, um, we may bounce around a few of the dough betting areas we know about in that area. How aggressive are you with calling obviously hunting public land, that's something that you have to put a little more consideration into. So is that a tactic that you'll use. I actually don't even carry a grunt tube anymore. I I'll snort weed's occasionally, but I want to be in a particular situation that I don't need to call it here. I want to be in a situation where buck's already going to be be passing through. Um, I just don't see. Definitely no rattling antlers. Um. But yeah, if I want to make a grunting noise, I may do it with just a verbal but nothing nothing crazy. And are there any outside factors that get you really excited for a specific day in early November? For example, if we had a cold front, or if it was really windy or raining, or if there was a certain moon phase. Is there anything, uh that gets you more ramped up this time of year or because it's early November, none of that other stuff you know? Has you paying any attention to it? Yeah? No, it's a it's realistically if if you've got time to hunt right now, Um, it's just a matter of time and tree at this time of year and weekdays tend to be a little better on the public lane. I kind of like weekdays just because you have less people to compete with going forward. Then this next week or so, what do you think that bucket activity is going to be on a scale of one to ten in Ohio? Oh it's here, man. I think somebody who's gonna put a couple of sits in this week, they're gonna catch it. And I'm gonna go ahead and predict, you know, nine, ten out of ten, because this is what you live for, man. Alright, Byron Will, congrats on that great buck from late October, and I'm as excited as you are for this week. Thanks for joining me. Yeah, thanks a lot of Spenser appreciative.

I hope as you're listening to this that you are either on your way to a tree stand or coming home from a tree stand. Because it is that time of year that we all wait for. The rut is here. There is no better time to kill a mature buck than right now. I hope next time that I talked to you guys, I have a report that includes me killing one of those big bucks. So send some good thoughts my way as well, and until then, stay wired to hunt.
