Been focusing on evening food. Saw 9 bucks and 17 does/fawns last evening. I hunted this food source 1 time during the rut. That unpressured food is key!

I don’t know what we have done to deserve the knowledge you offer, but you are doing a great service and I consider myself in your debt sir. I hang on your every word. Thank you.

Another excellent Video . I as a Hunter thank you and I Hope that all Hunters thank you for your Brilliant Knowledge.

Great Video Jeff! We have 5 yearling bucks living on our place this late season. Building that buck herd through following your advice. Hope you and the family have a great Christmas.

Thank you! I appreciated your advice on this topic. My first time hunting deer this year. The rut was pretty easy I thought on private land, but I'm struggling a little with public late season. The weather just turned cold here, and I was able to locate a food plot near to public land with deer as I was leaving today...so hopefully tomorrow I can find some tracks in the area I'm going!

Great video Jeff. Having the most effective late season yet, still hope to fill my buck tag with a 3.5+ yr old now. Got to watch 3 bucks bed down all day and then move at sunset, putting a plan together

Just came to say Merry Christmas 🎅 And will continue to practice your methods, Thanks for a solid year of content.

Another Excellent video. I'm new to hunting and went through rifle season without getting my first buck. Saw lots of does but held out. Want my first deer to be a byck. Been practicing my bow for about 20-30 mins a day for 2 months and going for my first bow hunt tomorrow. Need to thank you for your content on yt. It's what helped guide me the most through figuring out hunting. Right down to the broadheads I'll be using tomorrow. For real, I truly appreciate the effort you put into these and giving information that took years to accumulate.

It's a great time to travel to the deep south to hunt.

Merry Christmas to you and your family. Thanks for the info

Keep the great videos coming...got laid up with COVID for a month and missed the last three weeks of the Maine season...these videos let me enjoy the outdoors even when down and out.

Happy Holidays to you and your family Jeff!!!

Got plenty of water and plenty of late season food hoping for a good close to fill my last tag! I shot a 130 inch 3.5 yr old Dec 13 my biggest to date!! Thanks Jeff for all the great info!!

Great video!! Thank you for sharing .

Thank you for the informative videos. I have learned so much from you. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Be careful. God bless .

Great information.i just love hunting late season.no orange army lol.lot less pressure and big bucks.Merry Christmas to you and your family!! Be safe.thanks as always.

Happy Solstice! Here's to a little more daylight.

Thanks Jeff.

Merry Christmas to the WHS crew!

U are filling my brain with knowledge thanks sir

Happy Holidays to you and your family Jeff.. learned so much from your channel.. we didn't have the time and priority to plant all out food plots this year, only 40% got planted. Add that to the fact that our area is mostly mature hardwoods. It's a desert here.. literally 75% less deer here compared to last season.. I don't consider it a total failure because I learned from it. Next year we will have at least an acre of food and these trees are coming down to make cover and regeneration. The plot will be up front so we can maximize depth of cover. Thanks for another great season of videos, you are very appreciated.

PA flintlock season is some of the most fun hunting all year. First weekday after Christmas through mid-January and your "buck only" tag becomes an any sex tag. Win. Win.

def see action toward evening times of them on the move to the fields to eat north east not much snow hasn't really stuck to being cold but they have been on the feed especially in ny Connecticut similar but I want to get better at finding them on the feed in the inner wood line

Flintlock next week in Pa. My favorite time to hunt deer.

In most states you can use a lesser weapon any how...like in MD..during gun season you can use bow or black powder....I always bow hunt the early black powder season.....helps not stir up deer before the rut comes

I just make a food plot for them with corn piles and apple corn in my shooting lane in my box blind high up and sit quietly no calling and they ran out for sure just got to wait til they not being chased my bucks it’s the second rut here now but I got one so freezer full from the biggie I shot last year so just needed a small deer.

Gonna take a few does this week we'll try to gonna practice spot and stalk on them

I'm from the thumb areas and as you know it seems like the late season deer herd up in all these private fields and makes me envoys because I'm confined to state or hap land

I only buy 2 to 4 tags per year in Michigan. I buy the combo and two antlerless tags and that's it. I don't always fill them either. My hunt is over now though I spoked the buck I have been hunting for a couple weeks now. Highly pressured 100 acre state plot. Only access I have to him is through a creek I dump into it and move SLOW. Well invisible ice I broke on accident and he hoped up right in front of me about 30 or 40 yards and ran no flag so I sat down and grunted once and hoped he would turn around but he never came back I sat for awhile knowing the hunt is gone now. So I followed his prints and he never stopped once he b lined and ran miles away

Morning Jeff hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas! Neighbor has 5 acres of corn and I swear he is pulling all our deer over there! Kinda frustrating considering we have unpressured food plots!

Jeff...I absolutely would love to come and hunt w you meet you shake your hand and personally thank you for all you do...I have followed many of your videos I love watching you n listening to your advice and tips...Im dead serious id love to meet you come hunt w you and spend some quality time w you heck...id even love to be able to invite you to my camp for next season .

Great video and I thought you made some great points about knowing when to hunt does or not. My question was how do we find that information out?

Thanks again for all the great videos... huge help ! Have you ever planted pumpkins ?

Nice

Thanks Jeff! I havent had a lot of sign lately, haven't seen a deer hunting for a while, could be Tresspassers or something else like that, hoping the cameras will give me a clue.

Still no snow here in eastern Iowa, gunna get out and bow hunt the end of the season

Merry Early Christmas to you and your family Jeff. I am beginning to turn old overgrown pasture into food plots, security cover, and regeneration (6 acres). I plan to cut the Junk-trees flush with the ground and remove the trees. Do you think that I can simply drive over these "flush to ground" stumps while working the food plot, i.e. drive over them with the ranger or atv while pulling the culit-packer? ... The junk trees are 6 -12 inches in diameter... I want to use your strategy of planting Buckwheat in late spring and then culti-packing it after I have over-seeded early to mid-August. (Ideally it's probably best to "grub out" those stumps with a dozer, but that is a big expense for me). Many thanks!

Hey Jeff. Can you drill Switchgrass in spring if you have done no prep the fall before?

I see you wear Merino Wool gear...I will not leave the house unless i have layers of Merino.Light,warm and just perfect.Take care

I've been watching your channel religiously every since I found it I hunt central Indiana I've had a lease on this property for 17 years they raise cattle and it's great property I'm blessed to have but over the years they've let cattle take fences down so now they don't plant the same way I'm having trouble holding deer I've seen maybe 20 does entire season lots of bucks but I can't hold them because the cattle eat anything I try to plant for the deer and the farmer isn't into me fencing off a plot in his cattle ground which I totally understand just wondering if there could be any tips I could get thrown my way

Jeff, Do you or your clients continue using water troughs into the late season months? Located in northern WI (Hayward area) and am wondering if there is a solution for deicing water troughs in these later months? Solar powered water heaters? Any products you would recommend for this? Thank you for your time and happy holidays, Billy

Jeff, you’ve mentioned that corn shouldn’t be planted for food plot screen, so how would you incorporate corn in food plots?

Did you make it out to Pennsylvania this year Jeff?

What do u recommend for food plots in eastern Virginia in the woods we have very low ag around the part I live very low cover and 263 acres and after u get out of the land u hit a road

Done Dec 15th here in NH. No late season hunts for us!

What’s the most bucks you have got in one deer season?

I live in Colrain Massachusetts,this year there wasn't much for acorns No rain, so I been hunting a on little over 130 acres my self.shoud I just stick to the fields?? I trying to find a way to send a picture of the property.

In Oklahoma the wildlife department keeps pushing this thing they call "hunters in the know take a doe" now you have me questioning that lol

Well said:”Shooting does where needed “. Some people think they should be able to shoot bucks and does. There is places like here in northern Quebec where there’s lots of deer. Everyday you see dead deer on the side of the road that got hit by a car and this is where there should be more doe licenses issued. But they have to be careful on how many doe licenses are issued, bucks can’t give birth to fawns.

had a small 7 pointer at 20 yards today drinking water from a small crick after browsing the woods for forage for a while... 3 does come in after at 75 yards and drank water too..... never discount random water sources

What do you have in those buried water tanks

I live on the edge of a 5,000 acere bog in Maine, is there a crop I can plant in the wet areas that has good nutritional value for deer

I havent felt like a good hunter but thanks for still calling me a deer hunter even though I havent killed a buck with my bow this year!😂

Yup I’m grinding it out here in the he thumb of Michigan in vassar, I still haven’t killed a deer yet seem to me that the deer were so heavily pressured that I walked in along way to a lot of spots amd the people pushed these deer to the limit and thier ghost I haven’t seen a deer in a month and I’m talking everywhere I only seen 4 dead deer on the road from cars all season I hats not good they might have got that ehd around here becuase I’m hardcore at hunting amd I’m very upset that I never ever been so desperate to shoot one I’m at that stage where if it’s brown it’s down. Thanks for all you did for us the really shitty part is I hunted Casscity and nothing thier either. Thier nocturnal since bow season hundred million people were out this year sad part is that I he tags are you choose what to shoot with your first tag and everyone was allowed 12 tags two bucks 10 doe or all doe nd seems they did a number on the deer cuz thier all gone during daylight or dead pertty sad what these people did to our deer herds. They want them all dead cuz I talked to dnr this summer and thier fed up with the numbers out of whack so instead of drawing for doe tags it’s replaced with kill them all tags. Wtf people we need doe for baby bucks for the future. Politics will kill them all if they can.

How do you recommend knowing to shot does or Not ??

We're I hunt I can take 9 does per season. But I don't because it seems like there is more bucks then does.

I heard there was 2 deer found in Wisconsin with chronic waste disease.

If you asked me a year ago if i wanted to watch videos from someone that primarily targets bucks on groomed land, if have probably laughed. The reality is that your grooming has really given you the insight that a lot o people could never have. Completely changed my mind about things and have learned a bunch. Im still not clear on why shooting does reduces the population because 1 buck can sire many, many fawn. Do the deer have an offset birth ratio that favors male fawn?

Do you feel the plot start made a huge difference in your food plots? Thanks!

Jeff ,I want to wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year.I know this is off topic,but what brand of Ladder stands do you hunt out of and how high do you like to get in a tree to hunt?

Got a food plot question, if you have a bad brassica crop....is it OK to replant?

How can you tell when food is unpressured?

Every hunter in OK needs to watch first few minutes of this video regarding killing does. Too many people think it’s ok to shoot as many deer as they have tags for that year. It’s just terrible management and the tag limit in this state needs to be lessened. 2 doe and 2 buck per person limit is absurd.

In late season I shot a big doe and it turned out to be a buck that dropped his antlers. Shoot a deer that yearlings are following closely, this will increase your odds its a doe. The biggest "doe" your eyeing up might be a buck.

I've had a bad year. Small deer in the woods that's allll I've seen. Bedding in the morning and food in evenings. 80 acres about 35 of its woods. It's just not set up for big buck bedding.the neighbors property has a huge plot massive beeding areas but we have the woods what can I do to get these deer on our side?

Just shot a buck yesterday here in Ohio. Thought it was a doe because it had shed its antlers already. Hope it didn’t have a monster rack.

No offense Jeff, but talk about the shrinking hunters and you’re one of the biggest proponents to getting private land and posting it. It’s harder and harder to find land to hunt. I appreciate all your info, regardless

Wait a min u need to take your own advice u opened this video with asking about 2nd rut a video before u said that's a myth and u can't stand that wth 😂

Sure wish I had someone like you to make videos and stuff about Ga. The only thing more rare than snow here is seeing bucks after the rut. LoL
