Buckman.....Early Season Strategies

[@jimlund4283]

It was great talking to you yesterday Dale. Always love to watch your videos and show people how to scout. You are a dying breed but show that it is necessary to find seasonal food sources to be successful.

[@Buckman-101]

Thank you Jim, Always a pleasure conversing with you. I enjoy listening to your fishing expertise.

[@RyanFerreri]

Your videos are great. Just bringing us along for some scouting and imparting your wisdom. Keep it up!

[@Buckman-101]

Thanks buddy.😊

Thank you for all the great content. I hunt just south of Pembine and I’m going to try setting up some licking branches this year.

[@Buckman-101]

Thank you for the comment. Try to get those licking branches out as soon as possible because if deer start hitting it,sometimes a licking branch may turn into a major breeding scrape. Good luck to you,and I do know that area quite well from in the past.

[@michaelhuff4129]

Fantastic videos. Why do you only hunt from the ground? Swirling winds in PA make it a tough prospect.

[@Buckman-101]

Thanks for the comment Michael. Personally,I was bored hunting in trees.A buck would walk by,and I would shoot it.No interaction,and no intensity for me.Also I was raised hunting from the ground and the challenge has been wonderfully through these years. You might find this strange but I remember being in trees and hear deer snorting in the distance. I find less of that on the ground.Believe it or not.

Great info, I always look forward to hearing about your experiences. I usually stay out of the deer woods until late October. This year I’m going to try the ground blinds. I appreciate your wisdom 👍🏼

[@Buckman-101]

Well thank you for the comment. Good luck and have a good time.

[@Buckman-101]

[@boondocksadventures2328]

Just found your channel!! Love it! Your strategy is similar to how I hunt ANF in Pa. Thanks for a great show and I look forward to seeing more!

[@Buckman-101]

Hey thanks for tuning in. Good luck to you,and let me know how your season is progressing as we reach the magical time in the woods.

[@MrArcher51]

Hey Dale new sub here. Keep those vids coming some great lessons you have. I'm a northern mi big woods hunter. Thinking about heading over to northern WI for the early opener you all have. Any advise on any general areas to focus on? Not looking for specific spots LOL just some general areas to focus on thanks for all the great advice and good luck with your season.

[@Buckman-101]

Welcome, thanks for the comment. I suggest you e- mail me,then we can discuss matters easier. [e-mail].

[@nightingaleofsorrow9349]

We always saw a lot of deer across the border just south of the Land o lakes area. Check the swamps , thickets, anywhere the landscape changes . Good luck to ya hunting the Northwoods. 🦌

[@Buckman-101]

Thanks for the comment. Well good luck to you too. Feel free to let me know how your season is progressing.

[@Buckman-101]

Appreciate it.

[@PrestonV3X]

Thanks for another great video Dale. You've got me keyed in on looking into hazelnuts (if i can find them up here) something that wasn't even on my radar!

[@Buckman-101]

Thanks for the comment Preston. You bet,,the deer and grouse love them. One year I smacked a nice 10 pointer coming to them.

[@PrestonV3X]

@@Buckman-101 hopefully this year you'll do the same!

[@Buckman-101]

You bet buddy.

[@whitetailwarriorsdeercamp88]

My plan in the early part of the season is I hunt any water source. We don’t have hardly any oaks there’s a few but not many. So even doing the gun season if it’s warm I will hunt a water source. Nice video with great tips 👍

[@Buckman-101]

Thanks for the comment Dan. I want to say that probably 80 percent of my stands are near water also. Good luck buddy.

[@pensnut08]

So much great info!! Thank you Dale! The two states I hunt in start Sept 7 and Sept 14... Breakout the Thermacell!!!!!!!!

[@Buckman-101]

Thanks for the comment. You know, you're right about that.I remember some years with pesky mosquitoes.Good luck to you

[@mkemm50]

Hey Dale another great video with lots of questions answered! Not to change the subject,but is see some red paint on some of the trees,is there certain colors the loggers or forestry service uses for marking trees 🎄? Like for cutting or borders or property lines ? See it alot on federal and state land ,but can't always tell what they're up to? Thanks?

[@Buckman-101]

Thanks for the comment.years back when it was logged they will spray the border for cutting.And at times will spray trees to keep. If it was near private land the border of private would be blue,and the red would designate how far close to the border to cut.

[@mkemm50]

@@Buckman-101 Thanks Dale!

[@Buckman-101]

​Got it

[@johnbaenen5386]

N/W wind. You can almost smell it. And feel the chills.

[@Buckman-101]

hey John,there's nothing better.I have to agree with you.

[@michaelbutterworth6556]

Bush blinds r all u need in the big woods most of the time

[@Buckman-101]

you bet Michael.As long as you don't move around.

[@michaelbutterworth6556]

Yes sir my grandpa and dad taught me that years ago in my grandpa day they were call stump sitters

[@Buckman-101]

Well,I'll tell you,when I was young,just starting,my Dad would put me on a stump or under a tree,and I was told not to move,until he came back.Always wondered where he went.

[@michaelbutterworth6556]

@@Buckman-101 yes sir wouldn’t come back till lunch time or he heard me shoot or dark

[@michaelbutterworth6556]

It’s pretty cool I still hunt some of them same spots dad and grandpa have long since passed away

[@gman77gas]

Hay Dale, saw a 6 pt in velvet crossing 47 today. Thought of you. I have a few acorns dropping by me.

[@Buckman-101]

hi Gary.Sometimes the tree may be stressed a little,and will drop a few green ones. that's what I look for.At least you know there's some around. A couple weeks,the boys will shed their velvet.
