[@mattoliver9068]

Doc Woods- you said it near perfect "the shot is seconds, but the management is year round." The sweat and blood we put into our property seems endless sometimes, but those mere seconds (the actual harvest) make it worth every ounce of energy spend throughout the year. Great video, as always and thanks for sharing with your fellow hunters!

[@GrowingDeerTV]

+Matt Oliver You are so right! It all comes full circle at the moment of each harvest. Thanks for sharing! -Matt

Since you guys hit 400 videos y'all should do a video in your house of your deer mounts and the planning and strategies that led up too the kill

[@neilouellette3004]

Butterbean had a broken back leg. Great deer to harvest. As it wouldn't last too long with that leg. Maybe a week tops. Great job!!

[@GrowingDeerTV]

+Neil Ouellette Butterbean's back leg had a very large swelled up joint, we suspected it was caused from fighting. He had lost at least 50 lbs within a month from the rutting activity. Deer are amazingly resilient. Thanks for watching! -Matt

[@johnpayne9381]

I haft to say i like watching the videos this group puts out and i hope one day i will be able to travle and hunt with the guys here but i know it wont be for a while because i am a first time hunter this year for bow season still working on my gun perment so please keep up the great work and great videos......

[@michael8780]

Thank you for not being afraid to share the Gospel message. Have you made a video that covers the basics of hunting deer with a rifle? Here in central Mississippi it seems most shots are under 150 yards so I built an ar in 300 blackout around a Wilson Combat 18" barrel because of injuries (vet) and reduced recoil. Any opinion on it or suggested strategies for a newbie hunter? Thanks

[@justinmikulec7773]

thanks.

[@lukepeppers6193]

i have a farm in middle tennessee. it has 35 acres of row crop, 45 acres of cutover and 30 acres of selecet cut with some oaks standing. it has a 7 acre lake and a few small ponds. the cutover has power lines going through it that i can plant a food plot in. What do i need to do to help the deer herd and kill a good buck? thanks!

[@GrowingDeerTV]

Sounds like a great piece of land. The best thing to do is limit you disturbance of the property and hunt only when conditions are favorable for you to approach, hunt, and exit your stands undetected! -Matt

[@jakehunter8265]

I am curious as to what tips you might be able to give about deer hunting on heavily pressured public land where I haven't seen a deer while hunting and do not have the time to scout before I go hunting and hunting on private land where I am not able to improve the property at all or implement food plots

[@GrowingDeerTV]

Hunt the wind. Really focus on entering, hunting, and exiting without alerting deer. As for public land finding travel corridors and pinch points is key. Also the further in you can go into the public land it is often better. -Daniel

[@KountryCuz1]

Poor Old Butter Bean 😬💀😬

[@GrowingDeerTV]

I was very happy!

[@TheHoundsman]

Hey Mr grant what caliber rifle did you shoot that first buck with?

[@GrowingDeerTV]

+Dog Life Outdoors Grant was shooting his Winchester in .308 -Matt www.winchesterguns.com/products/catalog/detail.asp?family=001C&mid=535211

[@JuBlaine]

Hey guys great video! I'm in northwest Georgia and I have planted two food plots which are growing tall without any grazing happening. Any idea why the deer haven't been in the new growth? I've seen deer on the property but not in huge numbers, they just aren't eating the food plots. They are both blends but primarily oats, wheat, and clover.

[@GrowingDeerTV]

+JuBlaine If this is the first year you have planted food plots in your area, their maybe a learning curve. A new food source must be learned, then it will be taken advantage of. -Matt

[@GrowingDeerTV]

+JuBlaine Wheat is not our first choice for a summer food plot because deer prefer it most when it is in the early stages of growth when it is young and tender. Check out the questions Dr. Woods has answered on wheat in food plots at this link: www.growingdeer.tv/view/?s=wheat&post_type=ask

[@southeasternsportsmen4977]

The gun rests used in yalls videos look pretty awesome. I have been looking for something like that for a while. I read through most of the comments but there are so many I didn't see anything asked about the rest. What kind of rests do you use in your lock on stands for your guns? Thanks for the videos and sharing your love of Christ every week. It's awesome to see people pronounce their faith and enjoy the creation God provided for us.

[@GrowingDeerTV]

+Southeastern Sportsmen We use the Caldwell Deadshot tripod. (www.btibrands.com/brands/caldwell/?archive=hunting-restsmonopods-bipods-tripods) Works great for taking long shots! Thanks for watching -Matt

[@steele829]

On the fist buck grant took where was the shot placement

[@kirksamson9762]

What can i do for a food plot on a organt fram i cant use no weed killer

[@GrowingDeerTV]

Kirk - Most organic farmers use tillage or regenerative ag techniques!

[@robbertfulton7362]

We used eagle sees this offseason in our food plots and our deer number has increased double this hunting season

[@robbertfulton7362]

Seed*

[@GrowingDeerTV]

+Robbert Fulton Eagle Seed is a great product, those beans are high attractive during the vast majority of the year! Glad you gave them a try!-Matt

[@karenlemkemann4111]

Missouri is where I hunt like you so far I'm 13 and killed a giant 10 and on a 12 on one of my friends farms

[@GrowingDeerTV]

+Karen Lemkemann Nice work! Keep it up -Matt

[@Preston-le6gb]

Starting Monday after thanksgiving

[@pablothepenguin2956]

I love how these hunters do all this work and it pays off. I own 13,000 acres in arkansas and I have planted food plots and created bedding areas. But I am lucky to see a 4 year old doe or a yearling doe. We never get bucks like that and we never shoot bucks that are 3 years or younger. I am just so confused. What am I doing wrong

[@GrowingDeerTV]

Sounds like you've done a lot of great habitat work at your property! Do you see mature bucks on your trail cameras? There can be great habitat and mature deer but hunting strategy is key to tagging them. Being able to enter, hunt, and exit a hunting location is extremely important. Deer have very good memories and can "pattern" humans very quickly and learn to avoid areas they associate with danger (hunters etc). This may be a start. I look forward to hearing more about your property! -Daniel

[@Ihsaan1422]

What kind of rifle stand was that you were using in the opening scene (in the stand)?

[@TheGamerofLifeHere]

I believe I like watching the deters more than shooting them but if a big one was to step out don't think I wouldn't shoot it...

[@GrowingDeerTV]

Have you ever seen the Deer from north western Ontario? They get real big!

[@GrowingDeerTV]

What caliber rifle do you use?

[@GrowingDeerTV]

I use a Winchester XPR in Creedmoor 6.5 caliber.

[@baseball_is_life457]

Nice buck! Good luck in 2018!

[@nathancottrill725]

I can't decide if I want to get a .308 or a .270. any suggestions ?

[@GrowingDeerTV]

Nathan- both calibers are great for deer hunting! They are capable of taking down deer very cleanly. We prefer a .308, but because it has a slightly larger diameter bullet, but nontheless the .270 would be our next candidate! -Matt

[@nathancottrill725]

+GrowingDeer.tv thank you !

[@keithsage7258]

# Western Ontario...We got some little Bucks,,it is all gossip about them 300 lb 20 pt big Deer, it's all fake news.. Don't believe it.. Oh! Great show great shots, It never gets old and never to cold.

[@GrowingDeerTV]

Thanks Keith! -Daniel

[@austinssegbers8483]

i wish i could hunt like you guys i get really nervous with my bow and my rifle i always try to calm down but it is hard for me and i think about it so much if you respond can you give me some tips and other people please

[@GrowingDeerTV]

+Austins segbers Buck fever is a powerful thing! My best advice while in the moment, is to focus solely on where you plan to shoot that animal. Focusing on where your shot placement will be allows you to keep calm and take deep breathes up until the shot is taken! -Matt

[@LogiBear59]

I've been looking to get into hunting but I don't know what caliber I should use. Suggestions? Btw, I love watching your videos! Keep doing God's will as well as you do!

[@GrowingDeerTV]

It depends. Will youth be using the rifle? Are you planning to hunt other critters beside deer? If youth will be using it or you wish to varmint hunt, you may wan to look into a .243. You can see Grant's daughter shoot a buck with a .243 in this episode:www.growingdeer.tv/archive/#/deer-hunting-foggy-morning-buck . If you are strictly hunting whitetails and no youth will be using the rifle, a .308 (like Grant sot Butterbean with) is a great caliber. Let us know if you have any other questions as you start hunting! -Daniel

[@LogiBear59]

GrowingDeer.tv it will likely just be me using it and yes, I do plan on hunting other creatures.

[@GrowingDeerTV]

If you're going to hunt other critters like coyotes, then a .243 maybe the way to go. -Daniel

[@LogiBear59]

GrowingDeer.tv great. Thanks!

[@BareGrizz]

Not to state the obvious but don't forget to read your state or providence's handbook of hunting laws. Some states ban rifles for hunting. Here in Ohio they just opened up straight wall cartridge rifles for hunting deer within the last two years. Always read up on the most current handbook. I grab one every year. Even if I don't know if I'll be able to get out to the woods.

[@coreyj2878]

could I ask you for any advice on how to hunt this time of year?

[@GrowingDeerTV]

Deer tend to focus on food sources during the late season. They especially concentrate around food sources that they don't associate with danger. Deer tend to be very alert after months of hunting season so be sure to avoid alerting deer while approaching your stand/blind!

[@coreyj2878]

thank you for always responding ur great

[@zachdriggers3222]

I shot a doe last night and the blood started out as light red but started to get bright red as the trail went on. What type of shot might this have been? I also decided to back out because she hadn't gone down and we spooked her farther back into the wood. Was this the right decision to back out?

It's look like butterbean got hung in wire or was already shot once the way he walked when you skined him did you find a infection or something

[@GrowingDeerTV]

+TheGamerofLife Butterbean sustained an injury to his back left leg. This was most likely done during fighting this fall. -Matt
