This video covers the awesome late October timeframe hunting public land. The first buck that came by was the one I set my goal to try and hunt. The season is long and there is still plenty of time to get after it.

Good video again Mr. 40 years ago I used to rifle hunt big timber in Arkansas back when the big timber companies didn't mind hunters there at all. Before I really got back into archery. Taking all the legal game was a no-brainer with the rifle. Used iron sights because the shots were close and fast usually. 99% of my hunting is with a bow for many years now. I enjoy your style and the videos. You're helping a lot of newbies get some good basic information. 👍👍🏹🐗🦌

I have used a number of things. I have used the limb legs from mathews. I've used a normal hys strap or bow hook if I've got a tree or sapling in front of me. If on a stool, I often will just lay the bow on my lap. Ideally, it can be positioned in front of your face to where you can raise your hand up, and draw back with as minimal movement or your body and the bow as possible, so holding the bow vertical does tend to make more sense.

Yea it's a good option to try. Different people will have different preferences once they try and compare with pins. For hunting, I haven't had any issues and have made nothing but great shots on deer. All have been under 30 yards though. At the longer ranges, I still prefer to range and use the tick marks. And from that perspective pins would be better and less clutter. Garmin I've been pretty fond of as well and have strictly been more precise with. But its also not legal in all the states I hunt and has the possibility of more issues and is heavy.

Such a solid video! I'm sure there was a TON of work that went into picking those few prime locations. Any chance you're willing to say what date you had the buck parade on? Did you have a camera in that location and if so was that just the magic day or was it a consistent spot? The scrape and licking branch looked somewhat unassuming, and something most guys wouldn't take a second look at.
@DIYSportsman
@DIYSportsman 2 жыл бұрын
Oct 31 was one of the better days I believe. Some of that footage was across multiple sits in the same tree. I had a camera in thar area and it's good sort of throughout that time period but sporadic in terms of individual bucks. I find a lot of those scrape areas just by finding a licking branch in a good area even if the ground isn't pawed up and they can be really good.

I practice some pretty extreme scent control. Always looking to exchange new ideas. I see you wearing the scentlok. Given how you approach everything else I’m sure there’s more behind your process?
@DIYSportsman
@DIYSportsman 2 жыл бұрын
This is the first year I've even sort of attempted any kind of scent control. So I've been keeping detailed notes on deer reactions and what I had done that day. For instance, was I wearing scentlok dropdown facemask, non-air permeable and/or scentlok outer layers? Rubber boots? Did I wipe down my camera gear, bow, and sticks with a scent free wipe? Did I rinse my mouth and gargle with closys? Was I wearing scentlok for any vegetation I brushed up against or touched on the access? And then I also took notes like when Sam and I were sitting together, since she did nothing except for the rubber boots. And I have the years' worth of prior experiences to compare against too. So far of well over a dozen individually separate deer that have walked on or over my scent trail, I've observed zero reaction. When they get downwind of me in a tree or on the ground, they still usually react. If they're inside of 15 yards, they usually trot back to where they cake from. If they're further, I've seen them flick their tail and keep walking and feeding. In all of the cases where I've gotten busted, there's usually at least one thing where I can say "well I could have done this too..." so I've yet to confirm if going full bore all-in would give me enough confidence to set up where I know a deer will be downwind before I'll get a shot opportunity.
