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 is episode number one sixty eight, and today on the show, we're kicking off our two thousand seventeen RUT Radio miniseries, in which we're getting real time from the field updates from across the country about how dear behaving, current conditions affecting deer, and the tactics that are working right now. All right, guys, welcome to the Wired to Hunt podcast, brought to you by Sitka Gear, and today we've got a special episode for you. This is the first episode of the two thousand seventeen edition of the RUT Radio miniseries that we launched last fall. I'm not sure if you guys, if you're new, you may not know what I'm talking about. But if you were listening in the fall of two thousand and sixteen, you're probably familiar with RUT radio. But with me today. The guy who's helping make all this happen is one of our producers and the host of RUT Radio, Spencer new Hearth Spencer, thanks for coming back to help us do this again this year. Well, thanks for having me. Um. Just as much as I hope people enjoy listening to them, I enjoy making them because this is all great information that I can use to So I'm I'm happy to be doing this, and I'm happy that we started them a little bit earlier this year. Yeah. Yeah, so so that's that's something I think a lot of people will notice different. So last year we started RUT Radio is a mini series within while You're to hunt to give people up to date information during the run. I'll let you explain in more detail, but at a super high level. That was our our high our high level thought and plan. This year, we're still going to call it the radio miniseries, but I thought, let's share what's going on throughout the entire deer season. So so I guess before I go any further, Spencer, can you walk us through what the RUT Radio series is going to be about? What are what are we going to cover on these special episodes? So each week for like the next three months or so, I will talk to a number of different contacts in the white tailed world and see what the deer activity looks like where they're at. And so for example, this week, uh, you know, we've got four states that kind of cover the US, and and next week we'll try to have like four different states they do the same thing and just kind of hear what these guys are seeing in their region, and hopefully the information that you get from that can just be another piece of the puzzle that you use for your hunts. And you know, for this first episode, I'm in the same boat, Uh, is that what I've heard from these guys has been really relevant to me because as someone who's Deer season doesn't open until this weekend, I have not been in the woods hardly at all, and so talking to some of these people gives me a really good idea of what I should be looking for in these early haunts as far as bachelor groups and field edges and and being turning colors and stuff like that. And hopefully, uh, you know, as we get deeper into this, that you can use that same bit of information in October and November and December. Yeah, I love it. I love it because I think, you know, so often we want to know what's coming our way or what we should expect if we haven't been in the woods in a little while, or or different things like that. So, so what I thought about last year's you know episodes when we talked to a whole bunch of different people from different parts of the country every year, and you were you were asking them, Okay, what kind of dear activity is seeing? Um, how are you seeing these dear react to the current weather? Um? What types of related behavior? All those different things. You're getting this intel from somebody maybe in Iowa or South Dakota or Kansas or New Hampshire or whatever it might be. And then depending on where I was hunting or where you know, a friend was, honey, I can say, Okay, you know so and so was hunting in Iowa. I'm heading. You know I'm gonna be heading the Iowa next week. Sounds like they're seeing a BC that's gonna help me plan what I do when I go there, or in particular, like right, you get these weather systems ahead to go from the west towards the east. So when I hear about what's going on in Missouri or Iowa or Illinois a couple of days before I'm gonna be hunting here in Michigan, I know what to expect come my way. UM. So my hope is with this this year, you know, not just runt related things, but even early season related things, late season related things, We're gonna get a really good pulse of what's happening in the white tailed world across the country, what kind of conditions we're seeing, what kind of deer behavior we're seeing. And also what I liked about last year was that you did a good job of of talking to people about not only what they're seeing, but also what they're trying. So what types of tactics are trying, what types of stand sets are trying, and then how are those working so you can see Okay, yeah, it sounds like rattlings really starting to work for people right now. Or it's interesting. Three of the five guys said that a doin Estrus blip worked for them, and it's the first week in November. Maybe yeah, I should be trying that. Um, I found that really helpful. I don't know if if if you found that helpful for yourself as you did, that is that the case at all? Spencer, Yeah, definitely, And like this time of year with the guys we talked to, UM, you'll kind of notice it's a lot of like very vanilla setups that it's field edges, it's evening haunts, um, it's looking for water, stuff like that. And I think you'll really start to notice the difference in those kind of haunts once we get to October. And I remember one episode last year for example, where um, I kind of hit everyone with the same question the beginning and say, on the one scale of one to ten, what do you think that do your activities band? And I remember it was like mid October, and we got everything from a two to a nine. And so you know, right now, it might seem like, um, things kind of are the same from North Carolina to North Dakota, But as we get a little deeper into the season, especially right before the Rod kicks off, there's a lot to take in as far as local deer activity. Yeah. Well, I'm hoping this is gonna be helpful for people to get, you know, real time updates and perspectives from different people across the country. So I'm excited about it. I know I know you are, And I guess we should probably just stop beating around the bush and get right into stuff today, Spencer, because I know you've got a good slate of um of contexts for us to hear from. So, so what do we have in store for this episode? So we opened an up talking to Cole Stevens from Hawk Hunting and he was on in North Carolina where he actually tagged out on an awesome buck. And then we then we go to Mike hunt Sucker from Hartland bow Hunter and Missouri do we have a j goal in Wisconsin with legendary white Tails? And then we ended in North Dakota with Alex comp Stack from white Tail d n A awesome. Well, it sounds like we've got some interesting stuff in store, so I will leave it to you, Spencer, take us from here, all right, talk to you next week. Mark. Before we get to our first update, though, let's pause for a word from our sponsors. Let's sit Year, And for this week's Sitka story, we're joined by Sitka photographer Sam Sold who tells us about a recent elkom that started with an unexpected snowstorm but ended with a bowl on the ground. So, on Friday September, my buddy Andrew Whitney and I and his girlfriend Katie, probably against better judgment, hiked into about four miles in a snowstorm, and I got there just before dark and set up camp and had a very cold, sleepless night because there was trees falling all around us. And the next morning we woke up and it had cleared a little bit, but the storm had pretty much shut down any elk uh like any elk talking, so it was just a long cold day. We started a fire and stayed warm and heard a couple of bogles that night, but just nothing um nothing coming into the calls and nothing nothing excited enough to approach. So we went back to camp and um crashed for the night and got up the next morning it was like totally clear, crisp, and we hiked over to this ridge and as we crested the ridge, I'm pretty sure a bowl heard us our footprints in the snow because the snow had frozen, it was really crunchy, And as we crested the ridge, it's bull fired off a google, so Andrew bogle back and he h cut him off again and bugled, and then another bull fired off, and so we started moving in and all of a sudden we saw this six point running down the hill and he was actually running towards the other bowl that had fired off, and about thirty seconds later we heard him start to fight, and we just sprinted towards the noise and we got down the hill about four yards and they literally let us walk to within twenty yards at one point, and they were just fighting back and forth in the trees. We had both come to full draw. We thought they were gonna stop, and we thought we were both gonna loose and narrow and ended up fighting back down into the trees. And then when they finally fought back up, the winner of the fight pushed the other bowl off and then was just standing there watching him, watching the other bowl walk away, and I grabbed the camera to make sure I was filming the bowl, and Andrew came to full draw and sent a narrow and it was done so from the moment we heard the bugle to an elk being on the ground, it was like seven minutes in sixteen seconds according to the time log on my camera on Samsung. He was wearing Sitka's jet Stream jacket and mountain pants.

Alright, So joining us on the phone first is Cole Stevens, the digital coordinator for haw Hunting. Cole has been hunting in North Carolina for the last week, where he actually just punched a tag on an awesome buck nicole. During your time there, what would you say the bucket activity was on a scale of one to ten while I was there, I would say anything about six. The deer movement had slowed down just every day. It seems like um some long the time he got there to turn it last. I think that was due to the transitioning as there's summer patterns to fall patterns. A lot of the deer and a lot of the stands that we're hunting or summer patterns stands, and it seemed like every night they were they were coming out a little bit later. So it was starting to decrease. Are are hunting the activity while we're in the stand And so with all the Hurricane UM talk that was affecting that area, did you guys feel that in that part of North Carolina? And do you think that affected the deer hunting at all? I do, Uh, the gentleman that was supposed to um the hurricane actually didn't hit there. But he said that the days that it was supposed to hit there, with the cold front that had hit and the rain that they had gotten, that the deer were just acting a lot different than normal. Well, they weren't hitting the cameras that they were normally on. So I really do think that that hurricane had some sort of effect on them post and during that time frame that they were there. Well, for a Midwesterner, that is a scary and really foreign thought to have to worry about hurricanes affecting your deer hunting. But going forward, you talked about how you expect to see more of a transition from summer patterns to more of their fall pattern So cool. With that transition, what do you think that's gonna look like? Is there going to be more daylight activity or less daylight activity? Yeah, they were definitely getting away from those fields during daylight. Um, the stands that we were in, we're usually just those tringe points where they're on their way to those stands, and you could tell um that they weren't just crossing through those like they're average throw Um. I think right now the acorns are sitting in the stand you could hear and dropping NonStop. So that's really going to hurt h the hunter because they're they're not gonna move during the day. They're gonna hit those eight corns, they're gonna they're not gonna need to find the food sources out in the open fields. They could be more fields, and I think in the next couple of weeks here that they're gonna be really hard to During your time there, you killed that awesome book, and congrats on that, But why don't you tell us a little bit specifically about that setup that you had for for that hunt. That set up was a really exciting one actually. Um. Previous to me coming down there, Carson Corey had sent me a few pictures of that book and said that he had been coming into a regular spot and that he'd really like to get me on. Well, like we're talking about, with that hurricane, the buck disappeared, he quick calling to his normal spots, so we kind of had to adjust to that. And the first night that hunted it, it was dead. There wasn't a single deer walking through there. Um, but Carson kept telling me that that was his bedroom and that's where he was gonna work his way back to. So the following night, I'm not going the same stand. It was almost like clock where he he must have watched his way back into that bed, and I caught him right before dark, taking the exact steps that we thought he would. Um, I don't know where he was the previous day. He had just disappeared like a ghost, and then all of a sudden I had him at ten yards right underneath my stand, doing his his nightly walk. How about with bachelor groups? Are you still seeing deer that are grouped up at this point? Not not like they were? Um, this book he had been showing up almost regularly by himself. Um, but there was another book coming into the same area at similar times. But they were never really grouped up together. They were, they were definitely on different terms at that point when we were hunting there. Alright, cool, we're going forward in North Carolina in this next week or so. What do you think the deer activity is going to look like? On the scale of one to ten, there's still one of ten. I think it would be almost down to a five because of the the amount of acorns dropping and just the transitioning. I mean, the bucks were losing their velvet. They're kind of acting funky. So now they're going to start hitting that testosterone and and really just breaking apart. And now the I just the place you'd want to be is finding where they're moving, um, right before dark and writing in the early morning side of their beds, and they're not gonna be looking for food so much. Is starting to get on those doors and starting to get a little more aggressive. Alright, cool, It sounds like your timing played out well then to to get a deer on the ground. So thanks for your time and good luck the rest of your season. Yeah, thanks, Bencing you too, alright Enjoining us on the line. Next, it's Mike han Sucker, host of Heartland bow Hunter. Now, Mike, I know Missery just had their opener and you've been hunting thus far. What would you say the deer activity has been on a scale of one to ten? Man, I'd have to say it's been Actually depends on what you're talking about. No, I've I've so far, um in the past few days. If I'm two different properties, and um, one property I'm seeing a lot of movement, another property I'm not seeing much. So um it's it's always season, it hit a miss, that's typically how it goes. But this is absolutely one of my favorite times of the year to hunt antargeted specific buck, especially in Missouri. Uh, the last two weeks of September can be really really effective. And is there something that you can put your finger on as far as why you're seeing property one property with such great movement the other one without. Yeah, I mean there's a lot of variables. Um. You know, the deer have been obviously the key on the beans throughout the summer. Um. And as long as you still have beans that are still grinning, typically you know you're gonna see good deer movements. So. Um. On one of our properties that I'm hunting, Um, we we just have really really green beans. We've got them in late Um, a deer just absolutely annihilating them. Um. There's still definitely fruit preferred to a food source. And on that particular property there's not a lot of mature oaks, so we're not seeing much of an acorn crop um, which you know keeps him in the fields as opposed to you know, our other property that you know we still actually have green beans on as well. Um, but the deer have all vanished off of the bean field. It's it's unbelievable it's kind of a uh surprise to me actually. You know, typically as long as the beans stay green, we're gonna see deer in there. But man, I cannot believe the difference past couple of weeks is made. The acorns must just be dropping like crazy, and we've seen them h to a certain extent, but I mean the deer have literally vanished. In these deals. Where we were seeing thirty forty deer at night, we're not seeing hardly any So it's a pretty pretty crazy difference. Now with that property that you are seeing good movement, um, the pattern that those de are on. How long of a pattern has that been that that you've observed just like days or weeks that these two yeah, I mean all all summer basically. I mean they've been, um, you know, sticking to the same patterns um, you know, for for at least the past couple of months. Know that the beans really kind of established and they haven't really really got off the beans. Um. So it just pends, you know, on property and on the food available to cover available, and when the deer are at I mean every property is unique and different, but one thing is that's pretty much remained constant. Um. You know that if you have beans that are greening, I mean they're gonna be they're gonna be eating them, and um, you know they may for prefer acorns, you know, when when they can feed and be in the being the secluded timber where they're not being you know, exposed and stuff, but until at least till until dark. But um, it definitely makes a difference. The acorn crop is definitely makes a difference on the amount of activity between in the field. And so what does a setup look like for you this time of year? Is it almost strictly all field edgies that you're hunting, Yeah, you know, it kind of depends. Um, I like to kind of lightly this time of year. I mean, you know, you got deer that have been undisturbed all summer long and they haven't been messed with, and um, they're they're pretty regular for them. Start and the last thing you want to do is just you know, dive in and blow blow the deer out and ruin your opportunity. And if you're haunting a big mature deer, you know, you just don't get that many opportunities. So, um, my favorite thing is to kind of start start from the outside start from some vantage points and and kind of get the overview of what's going on before you actually move and dive in. UM. You know, we're primarily focusing on evening hunts this year. Morning hunts UM are really tough. Depending on the situation. If you have a certain property that sets up good form, it might be might be acceptable. But for the most part, work working on evening hunts and just playing that safe, waiting for the right the right wind and the right conditions. UM. That makes a huge difference to obviously the weather patterns. And anytime you can get a cold front UM this time of year with a high pressure system, you know, it seems like it's just the deer just on their feet, moving like crazy and feet and has moisture played any kind of role there for you, um early in the year like this, Yeah, absolutely so. UM. These two particular properties, one of them we've gotten pretty pretty ample and not the rain. UM. You know, the beans are things are doing well, the food plots are doing well. UM. And our other property. You know, it's a little further north and we've missed a lot of the rain that we've gotten down down further south, and UM, it just makes a huge difference. I think that has a lot to do with the acorn and dropping a little bit early because it's so dry. Um, they're dropping a little sooner than they they would and so um, you know, obviously the beans aren't doing as well there. Uh, food plots are struggling. We had to actually replan a couple of them this week that just didn't hardly even germanate because there wasn't anymore sturn the down so um. You know, you get up the north of the very southern isle of border that area, we've just we've had a lot of a lot of drought this summer. We're going forward here, Mike, at the end of September, what do you think that your activity level is going to be like on a scale of one to ten, you know, it typically decreases as you get later and later in the month September. Um, you know, I kind of experienced the first you know, five to seven days of them, as they tend to be the best, and a lot of that, like I said, get relates to beans turning, acorns dropping, um, and that type of stuff. But um, you know, as it we get later in the month September, I mean, I think the movement's gonna be down a little lower um, depending on your area. But um, you know, I think that the wanted to get into those times where where the weather, the weather is so much more a factor um and and has them on the you know, the cold front that comes through gonna really have them on the feet moving um, when otherwise they may not be moving until till after dark. You know, I would say, dear movement, you know this time of year is up there, you know, eight or nine um as far as you know, moving in daylight consistency, and you know later in the year you're probably gonna get you know six five. I mean it's not not the best, you know, late late September, early October, you know, into the middle October gets to be gets to be tough, but really rely on what other systems. Alright, Mike, well, great insight there on Missouri and good luck the best of the fall. All right, thank you very much. How we go on before we get to our next update, let's pause here from our friends at white Tail Properties. This week. With white Tail Properties, we are joined by Neil Hogger, a land specialist out of Wisconsin, and Neil is going to be telling us about what habitat. Improvements can be made to northern properties like that in Minnesota and Wisconsin. Well in northern Wisconsin in particular where I live, what you deal with is monoculture of force for the most part, especially in the upper third of the state, and as such the most important thing you do revolves around food. The deer are gonna go where the food is, and without monoculture you can have a biological desert in the in the timber. So if you can create food plot, that's fantastic, But if you really want to make it special, you want to recreate what I calls a trifecta. Try to create a food plot year a structure such as a creek or perhaps a ridge point that the deer must navigate around. And now you've created a pinch point. And uh, if you want to really spice it up, you can maybe put in a watering hole or um. You can maybe do a blocking hinge cut and then you've created maybe a trifecta or a quad factor. But the goal here is to give the deer a reason to be on the spot and make sure your tree stand is in that spot. If you'd like to learn more and to see the properties that Neil currently has listed for sale. Visit white Tail properties dot com. Backslash Hogger that's h A U G E R. And joining us on the line next is A J Goal, the content coordinator for Legendary white Tails Now a J in Wisconsin. What would you say the deer activity has been on the scale of one to ten, Hey, Spencer, I would say it's probably sitting right around the three right now. Three and so that's you know, obviously pretty poor. Do you think it has been better in the past or why do you think it's so low right now? Yeah, I think we just got struck with Well, now it's going to be a full week of continuous heat to hit the opener, which was coming out of a relatively cool August and beginning of September. So, um, we got a little unlucky heat wave here for opening weekend and now it looks like it's gonna be mid eighties again heading into the second week in a hunting and so with that heat wave, do you think it's just uncomfortable for the dear to be moving right now or do you think they're they're hitting other food sources and water sources. Yeah, I would say it's probably just a little bit later in the evening. UM. I did notice on Sunday night versus Saturday Sunday night, it dipped about ten degrees. There's a little bit of a cool front that came on through, and it seemed like there's pretty good deer activity during the evening. Um, and you know there's some sparring bucks. Um, does and fawns were out feeding. Most of most of what I saw was was out in either alfalfa or being fields. Yet, Um, you know, beings, they're just starting to change around here. So and so you mentioned, uh the sparring bucks. Does that mean that the bachelor groups are all broken up there in Wisconsin right now? Uh, there's you know, they're definitely not completely yet there's some traveling together based on trail cams and and what we what we saw. Um, I just had that one instance. Actually it wasn't me. I just got got a video from my cousin that was onstance Um Sunday night and he had he had the old UM text on the screen staying turn the volume up, and sure enough there's two bucks going at it pretty good. So, UM, you know it's right at that stage where their testasterone starts starts to rise in elevate and they'll be they'll be split en up here shortly. And you mentioned the beans a little bit earlier also to um, are the deer hitting the beans right now like they have been or are they changing colors for you there in Wisconsin? Yeah, they're definitely changing colors. Um. It's been highly variable, um, especially on the western side of the state where the we had a ton of rain and farmers got in there a little bit later than the normal. So I know on our one farm out in Burning County, there's gonna be green beans around there for quite some time because they didn't get planted until July, and then down around here in the southeastern part of the state, pretty much everything got planted on time, so it's just a matter of what variety being they used. And uh, but I would say a majority of the fields around here are starting to turn gold, so they'll be turning off here shortly. Yeah. That sounds like what what most people are experienced in the midi West right now. I know Wisconsin just had their opener. Have you been hunting any mornings at or are you strictly evenings this time of year? Uh, pretty much strictly evenings. I did said Saturday morning, um, just because it's the the typical thing to do on opening day. UM, but just saw a little five pointer and that was about it. UM. So yeah, mainly sticking to evenings, get ahead of them and beat them out to the field edges and just inside the wood lots and going forward. Uh. In Wisconsin for this next week or so, do you think your activity is gonna improve? And what would you think that's going to be on a scale of one to ten, Yeah, this weekend, Uh, I think it's gonna be pretty close to similar results in other uh. Rise and temperature, so I don't think it's gonna be too great. UM, pretty hot afternoons for anybody that's looking to do hanging hunt. So I I would say it's gonna be right about the same, So three or four I would get us. UM, just just makes it tough to try to get out there and want to shoot a go and or even a buck and and have the chance of it going going wrong and not hitting it perfect and dealing with these temperatures. So our ag. Well, I hope some cooler weather comes through for you in Wisconsin. Thanks for your time and good luck and no problem, Yeah, it'll come. Joining us on the line. Last is Alex Comstock, the founder of White Tailed d n A now Alex in North Dakota, you guys have already been hunting for quite a while and in that area, what would you say the deer activity has been on a scale of one to ten, I'd say overall it's probably been at a bouttle four. It's been kind of hit and miss, some good nights, some bad nights, and so has it gotten a little bit worse as you guys have gotten further into September or is that four? Have been pretty consistent? Yeah, I'd say it's been pretty consistent. I mean we've had a couple of days where we had a you know, all cool front pushed through and we had some better deer movement. But lately the last week or so, it's been pretty warm, so not much has been moving. So with you guys have been hunting already now, you know, for almost three weeks. What kind of encounters have you had this season in North Dakota? Um? Pretty much all of our I mean seen a lot of you know, does one and a half two natural bucks? Um, you know, mostly all, I mean, all evening hunts. I've I've sat one morning and didn't see anything, and mornings usually don't produce much of this time of the year. But any we've had a few mature buck counters between me and a couple of my buddies, and they've all been in that last you know, ten twenty minutes of light, you know. But still I've been in a few until hunting a lot of public ground, like you do. Are you feeling any hunting pressure this time of year? You know, I really don't see a ton of pressure where I'm at. And that's like probably my favorite thing of being where I am in North Dakota is there's this there's a lot of people at bow hunt and it's mainly all on the private land, so it can be really tough to get permission. But on the public you just really don't see many people. And so what are some things on that public ground that you're keying in on right now? Water or food or betting? What is it? Kind of all the above, depending which property and hunting. I've got one property where I'm targeting a specific buck and with him, it's trying to get as close to his bed as possible because where he's betting on public is the most it's pretty thick um and there's crops all around on private, and then some other pieces of public you've got some bean fields, and then there's a place where I've got a pond trying to get on water. It's kind of just to get on anything where they're kind of keen in on the evenings. And what kind of role does what you played for you hunting this early in the season, this time of year, If you can get a you know, a good cold front to come through it, that's really key. Our best a few days of hunting was when we had temperature drops you know, degrees within a couple of days and we're able to get eyes on some good bucks and one of my buddy was able to he passed a pretty good deer um. So yeah, I mean weather, it's weather's everything. And then if it's not a cold front, it's you know, rain. I like hunting after right before heavy rain tonight we're getting thunderstorms all night and with hail and everything. And then so I'm gonna be out tomorrow trying to get out there after that. Now, are you seeing a lot of books that are still grouped up or they pretty much separated at this point. I think right now where I'm at there just starting to separate. I've got a few bachelor groups, um that you know, four bucks running together, and now only two of them aren't showing up every time. And I don't know if the other two of transitions, if they're moving to their fall range already. Um, so i'd say the next week or so they'll be splitting up. What bug going forward in North Dakota? What do you think that deer activity level is going to be on the scale of one to ten in this next week or so. I'm hoping it's gonna creep its way up to about a six or seven. We're supposed to get temperatures down in the fifties this weekend next week, so I'm hoping with those temperature drops and you know, being a lot cooler than average, look at those deer moving a lot earlier before we get here in uh in October. Alright, Alex, Well, very jealous that you've already had haunted North Dakota and good luck for the rest of the season. Yeah, I appreciate it, thanks so much. And that's gonna do it for this first episode of the two thousand seventeen RUT Radio mini series. We'll be back with a new episode like this every week from here on out through the rest of the year, so we're gonna get you those real time updates and conditions as we go throughout the hunting season. I'm pretty pumped about that and I hope you guys find it helpful. And then of course we will be back as well with our regular our episodes of the Wired Dunk podcast every week as well, so you're gonna get two episodes a week, one regular podcast with me and Dan, one of the RUT Radio episodes with Spencer, and the rest of these updates. So thanks for tuning in, and before we go, we want to give a big thank you to the rest of our partners at Sitka Gear Yeti Cooler's Matthews Archery may have an optics, White Tail, Institute of North America, Trophy Ridge and hunt Terra maps, And of course thank you guys all for listening. If you're out there hunting, I wish you good luck and until next time, stay Wired to Hunt.
