5 Early Bow Season Hunting Strategies

[@longtonailtrdwtr8715]

The Hunting Public is the real deal. Appreciate how much effort, work, and emphasis they place on the importance of hunting public game lands. They're skilled. Much respect for them as hunters since they don't bait or own acres of land where they manage and raise deer. Very glad to see you joining up with them for a public land hunt. It's important for all hunters to get into the public lands. Hopefully you get something hunting the public lands.

[@seregill13]

The Hunting Public is the best hunting show/channel I've ever seen.

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

I agree...huge fan! Very entertaining 👍

[@kevinfowler6065]

Jeff I use all your tips and theories in one way or another, but the one you closed with in this video "hunt the weather" has been the best of all for me. It keeps me out of the woods, let's me keep up on my chores, and I can plan everything around those ultra special 10 out of 10 weather days. I killed my two biggest bucks in my life (152" & 154") in the last two years using your advice on the weather and when to hunt. Keep it coming, thanks for helping me become a more productive hunter!

Jeff you’ve helped me out so damn much being a 1st generation hunter….much appreciated man!

[@Miguel_Travels]

I used to hunt all nilly willy like and I would see a deer or two and nothing for several sits. Last year, after reading your books and watching your videos, something really clicked with me. Last year I hunted only the best weather days and only the correct stands and I started to actually see deer doing the deer stuff that people used to tell me about LOL. I am getting a lot of interesting activity on my cameras, when a couple of years ago, I would only get a glimpse of a deer moving through. Low-pressure hunting and good habitat management has changed everything. Thank you Jeff.

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

That is awesome Miguel!! Really appreciate the feedback as always from you, but this is the kind of stuff that keeps my fire kit. Thanks MAN! Can't wait for you season to begin ☺️

[@allentodd5436]

I know I like to joke in my comments alot but Jeff it is great to know that you and some of the other big name hunters are getting together for a good time of hunting, comradary, and fellowship. To me that is what drew me to hunting along with the challenge of the hunt. It is a great thing to put egos aside and see that everyone there probably has something to add to the mix or an experience to share. I think men are missing that type of thing this day and age and I hope you guys have a blessed time! 👍

[@rfb7117]

Eldon, Jeff is correct. I was hunting way too much and putting too much pressure on the deer. We are following Jeff strategies and have improved our hunting property significantly.

@@elonwanders7167 less is more when it comes to hunting mature bucks. The more folks hunt, the less successful they will be. There is a balance. The vast majority of hunters over hunt their lands an have no realistic chance of consistently shooting the best bucks in the neighborhood every single season. This information is for the hunters that want to hunt at the highest level possible and the more you are in the woods, the likely you will be to shoot the best bucks on the woods. Less is always more when hunting big bucks.

[@scottysloyer5685]

Thanks again for the advice Jeff and hope your hunt goes safe and well. I have some public land with lots of bedding around a small marsh also some timber and lots of ag. I found a trail that comes out of the marsh across a road into some CRP and straight to a long tree line to another bedding area and ag on the other side of the bedding. A good south wind and sitting in the tree line I'm hoping will produce a mature buck. Thanks again Scott

[@randlerichardson5826]

I’m praying it’s cooler this year the 1st of season. It was so hot here last year I was sweating so bad by the time I get to my stand on my lease. I let 3 small bucks walk last year and killed the good one during muzzle load season. I kill a good buck there bout every year. Year before last I let a good 8 walk but I’d limited out on bucks by the time I was hunting a friend a doe. Low and behold all I seen was bucks the last week of season lollllll. That’s the way it goes though.

[@andrewe7165]

My season in Minnesota starts September 14th and so excited to get out in the woods. Question is I was scouting a few weeks ago and noticed little-to-no oak trees producing acorns. I'm hunting a river valley surrounded by Ag Fields. Mostly corn some soybeans some wheat. Any idea what the number one food source for mature bucks would be this time of year? I noticed tons of browse on stinging nettle tops in the low-lying areas. Hunting central Minnesota. Thanks!

[@paulwakefield5255]

Awesome video Jeff. So to clarify, you’re not necessarily hunting opening day cause it’s opening day. My opening day is Oct 1. If the temps are seasonal averages, you’re still for waiting until a temp drop?

[@ben3690]

Hey Jeff, watching your channel religiously! I hunt on a lease in the Piney Woods of east Texas. Roughly have about 100 acres to myself. I've set up a few .25 acre food plots. Pigs are a huge problem here. They will rut up anything i plant. Any tips? Most of our area is pines or hardwoods. Very limited open fields. Id love to get some dominate buck activity. I catch a few 140-160" on cam each year but they elude me during my day hunts. Would love to hear some pointers.

[@haroldcallahan4887]

We have 160 acres (25 AG in the middle) surrounded by over 1000 acres of nature preserve and private land no hunting allowed. Many of the bucks don't come in until after sundown- very frustrating. I just try to set up by the entry points and hope they arrive early which does occasionally happen

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Great, diverse and unpressured food plots can change all of that in just 1 season Harold. Easy to get those bucks to hit before dark every single day, and to compact the overall movement greatly. Bucks do not want to move s 1/2 mile every day to their afternoon food source. The only bad thing is that the ag is bad for creating that high powered movement. Timber cuttings for layered bedding and daily deer movement would help too. It can be done in less than a year ☺️ Hope the tips on the channel help you put it all together.

[@markortolani1366]

So, I’m a bit confused. Bucks move 10x more in the mornings when compared to the evenings but evenings have a higher priority... Theoretically, let’s say the morning of October 5th experiences a 15* drop in temp with a 10mph drop in the wind; wouldn’t it be a good idea to sit that morning if I’m 80 yards from their bedroom with ag 300 yards behind me, or are those bucks still eating the shrub and briars in their bedroom?

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Bucks move a lot more in the morning, during the rut...that's it. So a huge priority on evening hunting outside of the rut or opening day of gun season, because you are likely to spook deer outside if that timeframe. So many feel they have to go hunt during the morning on opening day or during the early season...destroying the high value, many times higher evening sit. The key to hunting the morning during the early season is getting away with it.

[@markortolani1366]

Whitetail Habitat Solutions Whitetail Habitat Solutions thank you for the reply, seriously, it is amazing that you spend the time relying to so many people on your videos. I have some good deer on the small parcel I hunt and I’d rather not blow it out before I get a chance to hunt them... That being said, I should save those mornings for pre rut - rut here in southeast Michigan. Thank you again Jeff! I’ve made habitat improvements suggested by you and it looks like it’ll pay off this year. I can’t wait to be in a tree.

[@jeffsalsieder640]

Jeff, I live in Oklahoma where early season (Oct) temps are averaging about 75 degrees in evening whereas the morning are more like 50-55. Do you think I should use the same strategy of favoring evening hunts because the deer acclimate to the temps in their region or do you think I should take advantage of the cooler morning temps in early season. The thing I dislike about early season evening hunts is that it is often high 70s or low 80s the first 2 weeks of October for an evening sit. You don't have much time to find a downed deer and get it in the cooler!

[@d65-m1x]

Jeff, when you talk about a 20 degree temp drop i assume you are talking from day time temp to day time temp, not just the difference between day and night temps in the same day, correct?

Great video as usual jeff. What type of foodplot do you suggest jeff for a semi shaded timber where a decent amount of sun hits the ground due to there being a thin canopy of trees

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Tom...thank you very much! Boy that's a tough one. Depends on soil, planting resources, size of plot, region, soil, etc. BUT, for starters clover is semi shade tolerant but very low browse resistance...in particular in shaded areas. For many north 1/2 of the country states layering rye would be a best options often. 100#s late August depending on your location...and then another 100#s per acre broadcast right on top, 3 weeks and 6 weeks after the initial planting. Very browse resistant method where you are building a heavy sod base of forage and filling the growing space horizontally. Winter rye (rye grain) is about as shade tolerant, pH tolerant, low fertility and hardy seed variety that you can plant.

I hope somthing Really changes here in southern IA absolutely none of my big deer on camera , pretty depressing after watching them all last year and waiting for a little more growth and change in them, this EHD hit us hard.

My cousin has this fence row that I think they walk down and then cross road and use this small like 3 Acer piece just to pass through I think the time to hunt that would be early season just cuz of the crops are there for cover if need be I have deer on camera just don't put enough time in out there just cuz it doesn't look like its worth the time but you know deer are out there I don't know 🤔

[@bobbybell36]

What do you consider to windy and most likely not a productive day to hunt?

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Really it's all relative. I actually like high NW cold front winds because I hunt the Lee sides of ridges that are quiet and seem to hold a large % of the deer herd. Also, to me a 50mph drop to 30mph is just about as valuable as a 30mph to 10mph drop. So total wind to me isn't as valuable as wind speed change...also if you can get out of the wind you may find a pile of deer.

[@benkrause3321]

I checked out your huntcast app. Is it really 20 bucks a month? That can't be right? Or is it?

Hey Jeff! Been watching your videos for a while now and love the constant content. Between you and the breaking point does Dylan ever get to hunt? haha jk. Dylan and Ryan come down and hunt a buddy and coworker of mine for turkey on "stumptown". So I got a lot of beast bucks on camera now. Soon to disappear. I don't know where they go in about 3 weeks all im going to get on my cameras is does and little bucks. How do I go about looking for their sign etc? I've always been scared to move around outside of to/from my stand locations come hunting season. Next, as to your point to the weather. That has always been my #1 rule. But watching When that temperature swing starts to take effect and wind speeds etc.. Normally it starts with a increase in North type wind and the temp will start to fall... Precip more of a east wind. How do you go about judging your sit as to when that swing starts to take affect? Middle of the day start you hit the stand that evening and what type of hill facing you hunting? How about an after dark start and the next day is really the temp swing for you and the deer woods... What is that afternoon chance day off right before its coming through and the next afternoon after it came through? I'm not a morning hunter with a compound in my hand. I hate walking in the dark and can't see them while they see me and run the other way.

[@RayEvangelista70]

Interesting commentary on the evening hunt, Jeff. I concentrate on evenings because I have yet to be able to figure out a morning hunt that doesn't feel too risky (on my farm, anyway). I got trail cam pics of 2 mature bucks last year. Pics were in the middle of the night and...7:30 a.m. Never in the evening. I am beginning to feel like I need to just take the chance. Thanks for another great video.

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Thanks a Eric and you are welcome! I find morning hunting is better anywhere during the rut...those are the most important stand locations. BUT....only during the rut...opening day of gun season. There are select other times for morning but you never want to burn out high value daylight evening movements for a morning hunt risk, outside of the rut. Some times I only hunt mornings during the rut. Morning stands are rarely good evening stands.

Hey Jeff. Great stuff, glad I found your channel this summer. You mentioned avoiding bedding areas with short travel routes from food in the morning. Could you give some distances for short vs long travel route? I have a public spot with a creek and grassy lowland I want to access by water early and set up on the tree line on the back side from where the ag field is ( ag on higher elevation). The woods in between the ag and the grassy creek bottom is between 100-200yds.

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Hi Joel thanks a lot for watching and finding the channel! 100-200 yards isn't too bad at all. The true test this, is that you can get into and out of a movement without spooking the movement...especially at the bedding area or food source. Not an exact distance...more can you get in and out without spooking deer.

And third it's me where I like to scout the area , Which I look for scrapes rubs tracks lanes broken branches vegetation wind direction and cover and I don't have any wise people around me but I have been reading a lot of the expert notes yet to get the opportunity to kill my first buck so I keep going out to public land hoping a praying that I get lucky this Season .

Dang I wish I could help you out...that is way out of my realm of experience. Completely not sure. I only hunt whitetail 😁 Extremely whitetail focused!

[@FaTalErrQr]

@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 I know. I would hope that it would all be the same principles because they are in the same family, however no matter how hard I try, I can't find a mule deer grunt call. Sad day.

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

@@FaTalErrQr ha, I would think they are all the same. Honestly, I wouldn't think there is anything different? I know they make some mule deer specific calls but I wonder how much that is just plain ole marketing!?

[@RickLarsonPermacultureDesigner]

You might be responsible for a major shortage of male deer!

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Ha, I hope so 😁 Hope the info helps a lot!

what weather app/website are you using??????

[@rickparshall]

He mostly uses weather underground..

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Thanks Rick...I also use AccuWeather a LOT for all of my hourly forecasts...wind speed, wind change, wind direction. For many, many years. I use Weather Underground for historical trends, graph forecasts for viewers and readers. But, I heavily rely on AccuWeather for the day to day forecasts that I base my personal hunting decisions on.

That buck at 9:57 is epic - is this Wisconsin ?

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Yes he is Harold...one of my small parcels. Been following him for a while and DEFINITELY one of two target bucks as of right now. G2 Buck...

What size sd cards do you ise for taking video?

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

I use 32GB cards in my trail cameras...rarely use more than a 1/4 of that. I believe that allows for about 900, 20 second video clips combined with 900 single 12mp pics.

[@markpetersen5059]

Awesome videos keep it up

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Thanks Mark, really appreciate it!

Not getting a lot of bucks on cam right now, I'm hoping the shift happens soon!

Hi Kendall...typically takes place between mid Sept to late October. Still loads of time ☺️ No worries. The more bucks you have right now...the more you need to worry 😉

There’s certain acorns deer will eat. They don’t eat under every oak that has acorns on them. Here in Tn anyways. There a long ridge it has a road goin down it is the bad thang but it’s full of big chestnut oaks. I’d say they’re dropping now up there. I’ve got a stand up there or had one anyways.
