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 Wire to Hunt podcast. I'm your host, Mark Kenyan, and this is episode number three eight one, and today we're back for another one of our Fresh Radio episodes in which we are hearing from hunters all across the country about the latest deer activity, behavior, current conditions, and the tactics that are working right now. All right, welcome to the Wired Hunt Podcast, brought to you by on X. We are back with I think this is our Is this our last rout fresh Radio for October? Next episode will be October UM and that will be the last episode of October. All right, Well, I'm getting ahead of myself. I'm wishing away October all the way to November. But I shouldn't do that because good things are still to come in in October. Uh. For those that haven't heard these episodes, we are basically going to hear from a series of deer hunters here in a minute. They're gonna tell us all about what kind of deer activity they've been seeing, what kind of dear activity they are predicting, and all of the conditions and behavior and changing. I don't know, moon, weather, temperature, anything that might influence deer movement. That's the kind of stuff that we're in hearing from from these in the field reporters. Spencer, of course you know this. I know this, Um, But that's the game plan. And it is almost the end of October. It's Uh, it's getting to be a particularly exciting time of year because we're we're basically in the doorstep of the pre rut and the super Bowl is is going to break open any day now. Yeah, These last ten days of October, which when this episode drops, there would be ten days of the month left, um, are really exciting because sign is going to peek here pretty soon. We're gonna start seeing some of that pre road stuff like seeking and chasing, like you said, Um. And for a lot of serious white tailors, this is like their favorite time of year to kill a homebody buck that they're familiar with, and it's something that a lot of haunters look forward to each year, even more so than the rut, because with the rut comes this chaos, it comes the loss of deer, it comes with gaining deer, and it's like sort of hard to plan for. But for folks UM that like data and like scouting and like trail camera images and are really familiar with an area and no historical patterns, this last ten days of October are really important. Thinking back to the biggest buck that I ever hunted in twenty I think it was seen. It was probably a one class deyear um. I I had kind of you know, been getting pictures of him since July UM, and the two opportunities that I had at him seeing him in daylight did not come like during the peak of the rut. They were like October. In October, I believe. And so these next seven days are super important for white tailors that have some nocturnal buck um that they might finally get a chance at. Yeah, that's that is the truth. I feel a dent the same way. I've been looking at this week on the calendar as as one of my very best chances um. For example, for my target buck, my number one target buck tran of course that big eight partner in Michigan. Um, this was the week I circled is probably when I could really get it done because just like you mentioned, he's not going to be roaming all over the place yet, but hopefully he's getting spicy enough that he'll be moving a little bit in daylight and I can get a crack um. So yeah, it's it's a time that especially if you get that very nicely time to cold front, it can set things off to you can get that rut at least a flash of the rut a little bit earlier than you might otherwise if you happen to get that weather too, and at least in my neck of the woods, we do have that weather hitting over the coming weekend. We're gonna get a twenty degree temperature drop that lines up with that last week of October and those late October cold fronts hitting it already a very good time. Seemed to be like a firecracker thrown into a gunpowder shed. It just it bodes very well. So I'm excited. Um. I'm actually out in Ohio hunting some public land right now, but I've made sure to plan on making it back to Michigan in time for this cold front that's hitting around time period, because I want to take advantage of this last week of October magic with that cold front all hitting at the same time. So um um, I'm certainly hoping it turns out the way we're hyping it up because I'm counting on it. Yeah, and sort of like the textbook example is if ten days ago you had a buck showing up in the middle of the night at like one am, um, then maybe right now he's showing up like an hour after daylight, and then ten days from now, you know, maybe it's at last thirty minutes of shooting light right at sunset um. But then you get the ten days beyond that, and you might not ever see that buck again because he wanders off somewhere during the rut um. So for those hunters that you don't have some buck that they're really easier or in on, this is probably gonna be your chance, you know, now through October thirty one or so um to sort of put that dada together and kill him on some fresh sign or some some field edge that he slowly is showing up closer and closer to daylight in. Yeah, you know, It's it's funny. We've had a lot of these cold fronts that have lined up with weekends and lining We've had almost had one hitting every week or every other week, and so I found us saying now is the time to swing for the fences. Often almost every episode I've done these, But we had one that was leading into the beginning of October, and we're saying, man, if it's the beginning of your season and we have this cold front, it could be really special swinging for the fences maybe. And then we had like a mid October cold front that hit recently, and we were saying, man, with this front hit and this could be a chance to push in there and get after something. Um. Each one of those I would say is we're excited about cold fronts, right, We're always talking about those are going to give you a little bit better chance. Um. But that opening day cold front, you know, I look at that as like a like a seven out of ten kind of excitement level. And then when you get that mid October cold front, maybe on like a six point five out ten kind of excitement level. But when you get the late October cold front, the hits if it hits at the right time and you get this big temperatureure, that gets me to like the eight and a half or nine out of ten excitement level. Because you have these two very powerful drivers converging. You've got the the ven diagram of pre rut craziness happening when those two things intersect in the last few days of the month. Um So, even though we told you to swing for the fences the fences several times leading up to this, now I really want you to do it because, as you just said, Spencer, Um, you know, the deer you want to kill might not be around on November four or something, but there's a damn good chance he still is right now. Um So, so at least keep that in mind when you're weighing your risks and rewards and when you want to go in there. Um, this is something to think about. Agree with you there? Um, The hunters we talked to you this week, we have Dan Moultrie from Moultrie in Georgia, Scott Spitzley in Michigan from six Packs and Max Podcast, Taylor Chamberlain in Virginia, the Urban Bowman, and then Get Hikes from Chasing the Dream TV in Nebraska. And we had two of our haunters we talked to you this week that just killed deer yesterday. So I think you're gonna find their reports, um extra helpful on this episode. Any other than what we just said, is there anything we should be thinking about is there any particular um I don't know common theme or or should we just let these folks speak for themselves? And then we get to the episode of These interviews are exciting, It's the exciting time of year, and I'm gonna let you get back to hunting. Mark all right, it works for Ray Spencer. All interviews this week are presented by Trophy Ridge. Make sure to check out their full lineup of sites featuring their React technology. After only two pin adjustments, React technology delivers dead certain accuracy at any distance. I own a React Trio Pro site into my favorite site that I've ever owned. It's perfect for when I'm out west trying to kill an elk or in traditional white tail coun tree and trying to kill a deer from a tree stand. Check out their sites and other accessories at trophy Ridge dot com. Alright and joining us on the line next is Garrett Hikers from Chasing the Dream TV in Nebraska. Now Garrett in Nebraska. What would you say the bucket activity has been lately on a scale of one to ten um. I think in the past week m from my hunts have been out quite a bit, but I'd say it's probably five or six probably closer to a six m. With the colder whether we've had, and I've noticed food sources have been pretty important, especially green food sources like alfalfa and Nebraska plots. The cold weather has definitely helped in my opinion. UM. Sometimes you don't see as much buck activity right now, UM fits warmer UM. A lot of guys talking about the October low. But from this week, I've seen quite a bit of activity on scrapes and stuff like that. I've got all my cameras switched over to them. The last two nights especially, they've been coming out to super early. We've had cold, misty weather the last couple of days, and I've been sitting on food sources and in my main plot where I actually killed last night. But plenty of plenty of deer activity in the evenings pretty early. It seems like they've been bedding up pretty early in the morning. Though. Tell us about that set up from last night when you arawed that awesome white tail. Two years ago, we started pretty good sized food prought about three and a half acres along a creek line with Betting on the northwest corner and on the east side and this year I kind of completely redesigned it to try to help my chances, um after learning how the deer moved in there a little better last year, so I put pretty tall Egyptian wheat strip from the very west end all the way down the south border to the east end, and that helped my access in and out, and then south of me across the lane, uh, there's a big main field the south alfa, so I've kind of got the plot set up to be a good transition plot between betting in the main twood and uh. The last few weeks, I've been the chase in this book that I can't see too and he had been coming out quite a bit in the east side of the plot, and I have a platform line over there that's set up for northwest wind, but the wind broke a couple of the supports in it, so I didn't have that set up. And I've got a hay Bell blind on the west end, so I've been sitting that and it seems like every time I sid that hay Bell blind, he comes out on the east side by the platform. So yesterday I went in I ended up finding a kind of a crappy ground blind in the barn and I got that popped up on the platform and sat it last night and I put it on my Instagram story. Um kind of making a joke. I kind of knew it was going to happen though, now that I was in the right blind, he was going to show up in front of the other one, and probably forty five minutes before dark, I looked over to my left, which is over by the bailed blind, and he was standing broadside at twenty five yards from that one. And it took him quite a while to get down towards me, but finally worked his way down at bean row across the fence at thirty five and then took a couple of steps quartered away. I don't remember if I ranged him at thirty seven or thirty nine, but shot him and last second he ducked and lunched forward pretty hard and I hit him in front of the back right hip um on the spine dropped him and it also hit the artery, knocking another arrow and shot him in the heart and then he went down pretty quick after that. But there I've been seeing. The food source has been pretty good. They're pounding the soybeans and not that they're dried out and it's getting colder. And then I've also got half the plot planted in wildlife perfect basket of glen, so they've been tearing those up. But I think good green food source near the bedding has been pretty important from what I've seen the past week. You mentioned that a lot of your trail cameras right now are on sign. Are you seeing a lot of fresh rubs and scrapes showing up in the woods right now? Yep, especially the past week. Um. The week before it was pretty warm, but this last week it's cooled down quite a bit. And I think between between the time of the month that it is and the weather cooling down, my scrape activity has picked up big time on all my cams. I think I have all my all my cameras set up on mock scrape licking branches right now. And yeah, definitely the last week, especially the last five days, the bucks have really been hitting them pretty hard. What is a decoying or a calling set up look like for you in Nebraska at the end of October. End of October, um, I like to be in good pinch points, like typical rut funnels between dope betting areas, and usually I'll sit for a couple hours in the morning, left the deer filter into the beds, and then I'll try UM a grunning sequence with my UM Dear Society Extinguisher grunt tube, and then I'll wait probably ten fifteen minutes and then do a not a not too heavy and aggressive of rattling sequence, but UM do a short, short, kind of heavier sparring sound for that, and then probably wait an hour hour and a half before I try it again. Going forward. Then, in the next week or so, what do you think that buck activity is going to be on a scale of one to ten in Nebraska? Looking at the forecast and the moon phases, I think it's really gonna skyrocket. UM. Our attempts are gonna drop, the highs are going to be low to mid thirties UM and northwest winds, which I think is ideal for end of October especially and based off the moon. UM got another full moon coming, so I think it's really gonna really, really gonna pick up scrape activity in the next week. UM, I think you might might see a little bit of chasing bucks pushing dose around, even though we're still a few weeks out. From the true rut, but I think the activity will definitely pick up in the next week. Alright, Garey, we'll congrats on the great book. Good luck with the rest of your sides. Thanks for joining me. Yeah, thanks for having me on alright and joining us on the line. Next is Taylor Chamberlain, the Urban Bell them in in Virginia. Now, Taylor in Virginia, what would you say the buck activity has been lately on a scale of one to ten. On a scale of one to ten, it's been a three point seven five. Yeah, really not a lot of buck activity, uh, in the daylight hours that we're seeing here. Um, Yet you know, we're right at the the point of October where I call it kind of like the sign explosions, so, um, the deer are are kind of getting ready to just pop here. And you know, every day from now through the next ten days or so, I think you're just going to continue seeing a ton more sign get laid out in the woods. And that's really important sign based on what you're hunting and where you're hunting and kind of you know, obviously you don't want to go blowing into your areas scouting them fully right now, but it's really important to pay attention um and and kind of lightly scout and see what's going on, because if you're not keeping your head on a swivel right now, you could be missing out on some really great hunting and great spots to be hunting in. As an urban bow hunter, what sort of food sources are you focused on during pre rout? So right now where I am in northern Virginia, I am really focused on the white oaks. Uh. This year we have a really really poor white oak crop, which is really good as a hunter. People don't really think about that, but when there are a ton of acorns around, the deer don't have to to choose where they're going. They can literally just you know, go at random and find some makecorns to eat. However, when you have a year like this where you have a really poor acorn crop, you know where the deer are going to be. So when you find some white oaks that are dropping, the deer are really going to hammer them hard. So what I do this time of year is I'm looking for for any and all white oaks that are dropping. I will pretty much bet the farm and guarantee that if you find a way that's it's dropping. This time of year, you will find sign everywhere around it, communal scrapes, and a lot of deer activity around it as well. When do you expect to start seeing some seeking and chasing in Virginia? This week is one of my favorite weeks the hunt of all time because the deer, the bucks are starting to really kind of put some sign down and they're starting to attend to that sign. It's a really, really really good time to get in to a communal scrape or a scrape line um early morning was deer gonna hit those right before they go back to bed. They're gonna be on their feet just a little bit longer in daylight hours. We've really kind of are crossing the threshold right now from deer being bedded up, but I'm talking about buck bucks being bedded up before sunrise. Now they're going to be moving around a little bit. That first hour to hours of daylight are really really good. This is my absolute favorite time of year to kill a buck in his core home range over a scrape in the morning before he starts venturing out. So everybody that's been out there doing their homework for you know, all year long, uh, finding deer, figuring out where their home ranges are. This is the time to finally move in on those stands, um over that that communal scrape or destination, spot tight on buck betting, and put an arrow in one of them. Absolute best week of the year as far as I've been scerning, for killing deer that you know about before they start chasing and going miles away where you don't have control of them. I know you're kind of getting new permissions on properties throughout the year. So if you get access to a new piece of land in late October, what are you looking for when you go in? You're doing some in season scouting. So in season scouting, I'm trying to tread as lightly as possible. So I'm going to go in, I'm gonna poke around, looking for food, looking for sign It's very easy to find the obviously, you know, white oaks are are easy to identify based on their bark um. But even if they don't have white oaks, you can find Deer really hit maple trees really hard this time of year. The leaves um. They really really like the maple leaves. If you find some some droppings on the ground, a lot of deer sign, that's obviously a great place to start. And then if you start seeing you know, rubs and scrapes, those are going to be around a lot of the predominant food sources right now, and that's a great place to set up. So when I'm going in scouting, I tread lightly. I'm looking for a sign. I always take a couple of cellular trail cameras with me. I'm gonna pop them out um or regular trail cameras, whatever you have, But I want to get as much intel as quickly as possible. And then for me, I'm looking for the best tree to hunt, has the the best access, that is the least intrusive, So I'm looking to be able to get in and out without bumping deer or without uh spooking deer. Getting intel that first sit on all of these properties is always one of the best to kill a deer. So wait until you have the intel that you know we're there, don't just wing it, and you will have a very successful hunt. I would imagine in an urban environment, is calling in decoying? Are those tactics that you'll use? Yeah? Absolutely, I mean you have to be careful with the decoying um sometimes because you don't want to draw a ton of attention to yourself as a hunter. And it looks a little odd if there's a dough or a buck standing in the corner of the yard for four or five hours. But um, you know, just like they work on on big rural areas, decoing calling especially works very well. Um. You just have to remember that it's all up to the buck, and the bucks have different personalities. Some of our fighters summer shy, um summer vocals, some are not so. Um. You know, being able to see those animals and call to them and kind of read their body language will really help you in in doing any type of calling for those animals. But also you know, just throwing a grunt out here or they're doing a little bit of light rattling. Uh. That's always been helpful for me and it's definitely something that I'm going to continue to use in my arsenal going forward. Then, in the sex week or so, what do you think that bucket activity is going to be on a scale of one to ten in Virginia. I think it's gonna be a solid ten. I mean, I'm looking really forward to every morning coming up here. You will not find me not in the woods. It's gonna be a really, really, really good week coming up, and I hope all you guys are getting out there. I mean, we have warm weather coming through this week. It's going to be in the mid to upper seventies with lowse kind of in the upper forties, lower fifties in the morning. That's really going to condense the dear activity down to those early morning hours that they are not going to be running around the middle of the day. They're not gonna be up on your feet until the very end of the day to feed, and it's just a great time to catch a lot of condensed activity in the morning. So find those big communal scrapes, find the food sources. Um the scrape areas that are removed from food sources that can get in on and hunt in the mornings are my absolute favorite spot and this is my favorite week to hit them. So I highly recommend people getting out in the woods and hopefully arrowing their their target animals. All right, Taylor, love following your content at Urban Bowman. Good luck with the rest of your season, and thanks for joining me. Thanks Spencer, you have a good luck out there. Alright and joining us on the line. Next is Scott spits Lee from six Packs and Racks podcast in Michigan. Now Scott in Michigan. What would you say the buck activity has been lately? On a scale of one to ten, I give it about a seven or eight. I've been noticing a lot of my cheerbuck movement during the day, um browsing around. I think if you've got them patterned right now, I think it's a pretty decent time to get on them before they start running around chasing. Does I know you just aired a big Michigan buck yesterday October nineteen. Tell us a little bit about that setup. So on this setup, I set up on a river bottom, and it's a set that we actually just put up the day prior. We have been noticing bucks cruising through here kind of late morning midday ish, so I knew to get in there and try to get in there early and get set up quietly and uh catch one running by later morning midday. So I ended up sitting, or planned on sitting until about eleven o'clock, and uh, sure enough, one of my target bucks had been brushing and making a scrape about thirty yards from me. And you worked my way or worked his way, um, basically not right under me, but about twenty yards away, and uh presented me with a beautiful shot. Unfortunately, Um, I'm still tracking that deer and I was shot that deer yesterday. What were those bucks doing moving through their midmorning? And is that something that you notice every year? Is that a historical pattern for late October in that area? Yeah, usually around this time of year. Um, the little bucks are kind of chasing. Does I've noticed a lot and usually about a week prior's um when that happens, and then a week later you'll start seeing the bigger bucks chasing. But I think they're just kind of patterned right now. I think they're just comfortable. Um, there hasn't been too much pressure on this property that I'm hunting right now, and I just pick the best weather date and uh, best possible spot that I had thought that give me an opportunity, and um, I had that opportunity. So are you seeing any signmaking it in Michigan? Lots of sign um, lots of fresh robs and scrapes. Um, they're getting hitten often to what food sources are relevant for hunters in that part of the country right now. Um, I'd say around me, it's spend fresh cut corn, um, fresh cut beans. They just cut corn across the road um from our property here. And I've noticed a lot of deer feeding out there throughout the night. Um. Obviously acorns are still getting eight right now. Um. And I've noticed a lot of browsing. I mean there don't just eat good food sources. They eat anything green I've noticed. So UM. Definitely don't just focus on food sources this time of year in a pressured neighborhood like what you're hunting in Michigan. Do you try tactics like calling and decoy, Um, only when I see them. And I actually had this happened to me about four sets ago. I had another one of my target bucks, uh, about sixty yards and he was just browsing about twenty minutes too dark, and I ended up calling and he didn't hear me. So I called a little louder. And you probably should just like call behind you to make it so they don't know exactly what direction or you know about the spot you called from, because I made that mistake and he picked me off right after I called, And I was just trying to call it to get his attention, and uh, he ended up getting spooked and ran away after that. So I technically I would call if I see the deer or buck. I won't blind call. I don't do a lot of blind calling. Maybe during the rut when it's hot, but usually not this time of year. Going forward, then in he thinks week or so, what do you think that buck activity is going to be on a scale of one to ten in Michigan? But the next week, week and a half, I would give it about a nine. It's um, full moon's coming. Uh, you know it's pre rut. It is just around the corner. You're gonna start seeing those mature bucks on their feet through day on in daylight chasing. Does um, I think your best bet is to start hunting down when the dough betting around that time. So yeah, within the next week, I think it's gonna be pretty good out here. All right, scout, Well, good luck with your tracking. I hope this story has a happy ending. Thanks for joining me. I appreciate it. Sponsor alright and joining us on the line. Next is Dan Moultrie in Georgia. From Moultrie, now, Dan in Georgia, what would you say, the buck activities ben lately on a scale of one to ten. You know, we're hunting middle Georgia and George is pretty much the same all the way throughout the state. But we're right in the middle, so it's pretty representative. But the the buck activity has been like a four on a ten point scale. They have been, uh, you see the young deer chasing a little bit. The young bucks are chasing. They have no idea why they're chasing, but they're chasing. You see the increase in scrapes and rubbed activity going on, and they're heading towards that. Usually around November eight is the Georgia You know, you can't count on it exactly every year, but sometimes around November eight the peak of the rug. Now, I know, you haunt all over the South. How does the timing of George's rout differ from other states in that region? You know what's great about that is is we've got a ranch in Texas and Alabama and Georgia, and we've we last week or so, we had bow Jackson out there and and who's a great bow hunter, and they're just not you know, they're just barely coming out of a summer activity in Texas right now, but Georgia you can sort of always count on November eight. You can count on Texas always about November or December tenth, and you can count on Alabama about January tenth. And so it's really good, especially slee if guys are hunting only rut activity and having the chance to kill the biggest deer possible, which usually that brings. That's great because you get to go to each different state and hunt the best of the best during that time, so that that affords a hunter a great opportunity. Specifically talking about Georgia, then when do you expect to start seeing some seeking and chasing from mature bucks? I would say that that's probably uh, with you would start seeing the age class go up on the seeking and chasing. Uh, We're we usually probably the end of next week. Rattling pre rattling will be very very effective, especially for people that have are hunting in a correct boat buck to doe ratio area. But ours within a week we'll be rattling. Uh November eight, you better strap on your belt and to stand because they're gonna be wide open. Are you seeing a lot of signmaker right now in Georgia, lots of increase in scrapes and rubs, and the difference than the velvet rubs that they've done, you know, a month ago. The lots of uh pre rut rubs getting ready for the rud, lots of scrapes. Every logging road through any of the woods with an overhanging branch has a scrape under it's It appears to be starting a textbook year for for the rudd in Georgia. What food sources are relevant for white tails in that part of the country right now? Uh, natural food sources besides manmade which everyone controls themselves, and food plots are putting out free choice supple months are feeding from the the musketines are just playing out right now. That's really our earliest really good food source. The if you're lucky enough to have some chestnut trees, which we do on the property, of course, that is tremendous food habitat one for the deer when they drop those. But the the muscadins are playing out. The white oaks appear to be full in the canopy, but they're a little bit late dropping. But you're just seeing some dropping uh right now is when you find that sweetheart tree that is really outproducing dropping a lot more acrons and the rest of on the white oaks, but within the next week they ought to be wide open. Now, obviously, as the founder of Multrie, you run a lot of trail cameras, So how do you utilize cell cameras in pre rut and during the rut? And how is that different than maybe a regular trail camera. You know, you can tell what one of the neatest tricks with cell cameras is. You can pattern deer so well before the RUDD activity and you've got the same buck coming in the same time, within minus the same day, same group of bucks comes in in the bachelor groups, same group of doose come in. You can monitor that. With the increase in RUD activity, though, you'll start seeing bucks fall out of the groups, You'll start seeing new bucks come in. You'll get pictures of the buck coming through, not eating, just pushing it deer. But one of the neatest tips that I've been given lately is with self can Self cameras are taking over the camera businesses. Everybody knows the but getting the signal seems to be the difficult part. It doesn't matter whose brand it is hopefully it's our brand, but we're really with anybody. It's it's the getting a signal. One of the neatest to everybody says, oh, I put the camera up and I can't quite get a signal. We had an area that, in fact is the area that I bow hunted. It's extremely hard to get a signal out. Move the camera up to your tree stand. You've already got to stand in a climbing deal where you're gonna be twenty ft up. Some people are my age, I'm gonna go and and you're twenty ft up. The signal comes in beautifully and it's a really I kind of like the perspective from a bug better because you can really see the rack and analyze the rack better. Where some time if you don't get it on the ground level. But if if the tip of the year for us is if you're having trouble getting a cell phone signal, move the camera up and point it down out of your out of your tree stand, and then you'll really be getting your signal better. So where are you running a lot of your trail cameras in late October and orly November, we keep them on all food sources on all protein feeders, on all spin feeders, and we would put you know, we don't really put one on scrapes and rugs. But for people that's never done it, it's it's a neat deal for them to see that, you know, what they may have heard about old fodder, about hay the buck, or revisit that scrape or ductin revisit or see the same crap. It's neat for them to see what dear activity really on it, which deer actually comes and they can differentiate between what they've been told its tailgate talk, and what's the real deal on it going forward. Then, in the next week or so, what do you think that buck activity is going to be on a scale of one to ten in Georgia in the in the next week or so, again, right now i'd rated a four. The next week or so, it'd be a six. Two weeks it will be a Tana's trap it home, all right, Dan Well, I like your optimism. Good luck with the Haunts the rest of your season. Thanks for joining me, Hey Spencer, thank you so much, Thanks for what you all do, thanks for informing all the others. And that concludes this week's episode of rout Fresh Radio. Thanks to Garrett, Taylor, Scott and Dan for joining me, and thank you guys for listening. These next seven days are one of my favorite stretches of the year, and I hope you'll be in the woods taking advantage of the increased dear movement. Look fresh sign, pay attention to what your trail cameras are telling you, and don't forget the rattling antlers and grunt tube at home. The next time I talked to you, we're gonna hear a lot about seeking and chasing, so get ready for the woods to light up. Until then, stay wired, Haunt
