Another awesome episode, thank yall for all the hard work that you share with us!!

Such an interesting process.

What happens if you remove all feeders from an area, but keep the food plots, and visa versa? Is one of those more attractive to mature bucks during daylight hours?

I live in an area where logging is common and sometimes the DNR will spray herbicide on a clearcut when they're changing from deciduous stand to an evergreen stand. With food plotting being so common, it might be a good time to study deer health in areas of active herbicide/pesticide use vs areas of no herbicide/pesticide use. Might have to start out with weaned fawns to get accurate results on the control end.???

Oohh, so cute!

I appreciate the video. Geared in Southwest Washington will have red clover come in the beginning of March and will be gone by mid-may when are winter wheat is the only thing that's in front of it.

While the moon may not have an effect on the bedding data. I have solid data that the moon has an effect on when they show to eat. I would be glad to share. It's deep. You know, if we put our data together, we may really learn something.

Scott Wilson, here. I red flagged your video 3 different ways and times. And while I can't hear well enough because of the type of hearing disability that I have, and that you were deliberately attacking me feloniously via, to tell what - all - your comments and mind games related to me were, I do know that you're a major level one of the Maranconi's people and a-holes -- and that you're also in need of arrest and prosecution. And while I don't know if the majority of the student body, faculty and staff of Mississippi State University are goodhearted people or typical a-hole Maranconi's people like you, but either way, both FYI and relatedly, attached is my latest email thread and Affidavit draft, as follows: ''This 03:00 Resend Needed for Reiteration: Re. In Infuriation and Absolute Disgust'' drive.google.com/file/d/1-9z0HkJaeM4vwwt-jD75SF7K6aIXFjaA/view?usp=drivesdk Eagerly awaiting your, your KZbin channel followers', and Mississippi State University's administration's responses via courier or U.S. mail, I remain.

I know it doesn’t impact the south YET, but MSU needs to start providing research and education about wolves. Non-managed wolf populations have decimated the northern 1/3rd of what many consider the holy grail whitetail state of Wisconsin. The wolf is spreading rapidly into Central Wisconsin and even the southern portion of the state. Packs of 20 plus animals are destroying the deer population in my neighborhood of Waupaca County which historically is a top trophy buck area. Nothing is being done 😢

They look creepy shed...😬

98lbs/acre per year of forage with cowpeas? More like 3000-5000lbs per acre.

A cattleman can bring a pasture up 200 plus cows days on 45 day rotation. My oak silvo pasture is 300 goat day's on a 90 day rotation. Your productivity is pretty low with the amount of input. I also have about 40 deer that stay on the property eating where the goats was 30-40 days before.

Great video showing the before and after bloom

Wow, awesome information gave me alot of ideas. I've been watching alot of videos on improving my property and this one fits my current situation financially and goals for my property ! Keep up the awesome work !

What is the constant number for or mean?

Very good work ya’ll.. Thank You for sharing.

Nice work. Are there plans to monitor deer use in year 3 and 4?

Deer will see you from a mile away if there is no mid story. Doesn't work for a bowhunter

If I'm on timber company land that doesn't burn. Can I mow certain rows of thinned pines every year or every other year? This way I can get some new growth from it.

How about oak sprouts?

The spot where the antlers were just looks nasty

Lmao, scientist do tests to understand better the disease... Infects rats, rodents, pigs, primates... All showing conflicting conclusions... In order to learn more about it, we should let some humans have the choice to infect themselves for future study... What could go wrong

Someone ate an infected bat, what could go wrong with an infected deer haha... Ha...

What is the best time to plant vetch? Is it an annual where you need to plant it every year? What is a good companion crop for it?

CWD -> becom es Creuzfedt Jacob fatal disease for people. DON"T CONSIUME MEAT FROM CWD ANIMALS

Im in Ohio and i have so many natural crabapple trees that theyre almost invasive lol but my brother killed a nice buck last year November 10th and his stomach had at least 20 crab apples in it so im happy to let the trees grow lol

Thank you. I know nothing about deer and so it was interesting hearing you tell us about the growth cycle of antlers.

Love to see break outs by buck age to see how things change by age.

Neighbor is growing some of this. Is it harmful to pets?

Great episode! Every deer hunter should listen to this podcast. Keep up the good work.

Great work fellas!

Who does the illustrations? Y'all credited everyone but the who made this look so great.

Bullshit have the politicians eat it or the doctors that work for fish and wildlife for the state wouldn't touch it.

Thanks, I’m considering adding some clover to my yard this coming fall.

How does age of bucks related to all this

Just speculation but is there a chance that the people planting multiple acre food plots are planting better quality food plots. Given the cost associated with plant larger, one could assume the people planting them have access to better equipment and are more knowledgeable and using better methods. Comparing a guy spreading rye grass on a logging road to an experienced land manager planting corn and beans with a no till drill.

I would be interested to see a comparison with visit time and food plot size preference. Are the midday visits still showing preference to 4 acre plots? Or are the midday visits showing preference to smaller plots where cover is closer?

I would love to see an analysis of bucks over 2.5 yo, movement x wind direction on the ground, hypothesis being older bucks never move without the wind letting them know what's ahead of them

Maybe the 4 acre food plot preference is the sweet spot between proximity to cover and large enough for abundant forage with the opportunity for more does!

Yeah a better one. And it helps when you say you don't have all the data yet. That makes the world a difference. Thanks Luke. People want to jump to conclusions for whatever reasons. Appreciate it. Many of us do. Thanks😊

Does this information transfer equally to black tail deer ?

Absolutely NOT!! Why take the chance! Same for Mad Cow!! Don't eat it!! Cooking won't kill it! It's not some type of virus or bacteria. It's some kind of mutant protein molecule or molecule string!

These studies are so key. I'd love for my young kids to get involved in this when they mature.

At the 13 minute mark you mentioned you excluded sites in ag fields. I’m fine with that unless the ag is tall enough cover to provide bedding ie 5 feet high beans, standing corn , etc

I would suggest that 15 minutes of difference between day and night bedding bouts IS biologically significant in the context of risk exposure and the average amount of time a hunter is in the stand. Also, did y'all assess how many bedding areas vs bedding sites were utilized during day vs. night? I would expect time spent in a bedding area to be greater during day than night due to shorter NSD between daytime bedding sites.

??Y’all have talked about bucks not involving himself in the breeding cuddle for the year? I have photos of a 3.5 YO healthy loooking buck his glands are white!?!? And I’ve only had my camera out since January. FYI He is the largest most mature buck in the area.

I'd agree with that one mostly. I'm a scent freak. But I do have a bad habit of smoking and/or chewing. All the same, I have deer walk right by me and/or under me every freaking year. Bucs end does. I do sometimes crush apples with my boots before walking in. That can act as a cover scent, but can also work the other way sometimes. Obviously I try to pick my spots carefully, as far as when to have a smoke. Last year, had a bear try to climb my ladder blind. That was pretty cool, a little freaky also 😮😅 the bear got half way up, before I shoed him off, lol

You guys are correct about antler growth. 3 years maybe four. But the width / diameter increases after that time period. They might not grow as long but they will be thicker.

But it does show more activity during a Full Moon and The Rut together. Just saying😊

What's the possibility of playing all this, for all the tree huggers, vegetarian, anti hunter, people with low brain functionability, taking up space, mindless people. Like maybe in their sleep, for possibly 265 days, non-stop in their sleep, as thier sleeping? Maybe, maybe, some will get it? But......🤷
