Considering it a win just to have an encounter with a big buck. I’m probably hunting some of the same areas as Carl, and he’s right.

It was great having you on the show!

I don’t get why I keep seeing ppl say cameras are banned in MO.. They are banned on specific conservation areas and it’s usually posted with a sign stating that they are banned on that piece but I don’t believe they are banned throughout the entire state..

nice!

[@southernhood5145]

good morning guys. is it as hot up there as Mississippi

[@Pacotheburbanhunter]

Same here in north Florida

[@Pacotheburbanhunter]

Love this!! Learning a ton. Goin out to my spots tomorrow in my club

[@thesouthernoutdoorsmen]

Oh yea! Saturday went from a normal scouting day, to a creek scouting day by about 8am lol. Been brutal here lately

[@SwampDonkey07]

Hot on the eastern shore of Maryland

Crazy how different hunters say vastly different things on how they hunt. I hear a guy saying if you go into an area you probably won’t kill there if you go in again.. Then a guy like Justin Wright says go in and jump him from his bed then hunt him the next day.. Hard to know whom to follow..

[@reddawng43x91]

It’s all about where you hunt , high deer numbers let’s you get away with dumb shit! I pressured property let’s you get away with dumb shit! Ag country type areas let’s you get away with dumb shit!

What was the scrape product that last guy was using?

[@thesouthernoutdoorsmen]

It’s called Branch Boss. We are about to test it as well this season.

[@Eastky23wildlife]

I have 40 acres in eastern ky if someone is interested in hunting it. It’s been all hacked and squirted in the big woods of Appalachia. All Oaks , persimmon apple trees and a lot of diversity..

When can I come and check out property & hunt ! From central NC outside of Raleigh wake county! I’ve hunted Kentucky when I was younger with a friend that had a mountain 🏔️ and it was most fun hunting I’ve ever experienced compared to the flat lands I live on and the gaps , gullies , hollers , draws , ridges saddles etc. it is a whole different kind of hunt and the deer are twice as big in weight and horns !

​@cray-z7404 I'm western NC, I'll roll with you.

@@greglovelace246 I’m hunting right now , just had 4 point walk by

[@greglovelace246]

@cray-z7404 nice, let that thing grow, haha. I wish I could be out there right now. I've got a mature buck I'm itching to hunt. Big heavy track, im excited. Here in NC, the hunting and buck size is a little different than west hunting👍 goodluck

[@AudieCarman]

I would like like to purchase a back pack

[@SwampDonkey07]

I just don’t see the benefit of one sticking besides carrying 2 or 3 less sticks lol.

[@thesouthernoutdoorsmen]

I thought the same thing, but it ended up being a big advantage being able to go as high as I want in a tree. In gun season we will get 30-40' high to be able to see down into pine thickets and grown up cutovers.

[@SwampDonkey07]

@@thesouthernoutdoorsmen maybe I’ll have to give it a try! Worried I’m not in good enough shape to do it lol
