Day 4 of 7: Rut Hunting Struggles | S1E04 | One Week In November

[@koorbloh]

This format of buddy's all hunting together, but separate, and the texting and ish-talking is exactly what my seasons are like these days. It's so perfect.

[@jonboyent1277]

Most people don’t even get how much patience dedication and preparation goes into hunting . They think we run out in the woods an shoot shit an call it a day. If you do it right and eat and share the wild meat you kill it’s a beautiful process.

[@wildfoodpursued]

Love that you guys are putting out these themed series’s! Keep ‘em coming!!

[@timothycaiello1873]

I’ve watched every video/episode/special/etc. that Meateater has ever put out, and this is by far the best series yet. Keep up the great work.

[@chrisyuill2139]

Clay is the best! He should get his own show

[@robertbrezinka9184]

The Phantom saddle wrapped in spectre 👌🔥!

[@mrsockeye]

I have really enjoyed this series. This has been one of the best Meat Eater spin off series.

[@KeoVore99]

I love this series!!! I hope this happens again next deer season!

[@michaelduncan2759]

Gentlemen, I have not had one person I know say that this has not been a strange season for everyone.

[@jacobanderson7967]

AMEN. Ky here. Western part. Open weekend had 2 yearlings and doe walk out. Took doe. Next morning seen a small doe but even if I wanted a shot it was almost to dark. Decided to let her walk and not risk also hoping buck would walk through. After that weekend I haven't seen shit. Still love it! Even through all the frustration and waiting it's the adventure of it all

[@twillison8824]

Yep, here in SE Illinois I had a group of methheads cut a 4wheeler trail right through my best spot two weeks before season opener. They were passing through all hours of the night and blew out the whole damn area. I went from getting nearly 100 trail cam pics a day of deer down to about 10 a week. The dope house they were traveling to and from was busted by the sheriff's department, but they'd already ran the deer out.

[@williamsmith304]

absolutely, the weirdest deer season ever in NC.

[@williamsmith304]

I will go on to report, in over two weeks of transmitted trail came photos, had one" lone" doe during daylight hours, a few spikes and forks at night. These warm temperatures suck!

Adding clay newcomb and Joe C to meateater was a great addition

They shat the bed letting Joe C go! Their fishing department is nonexistent and they’re really missing out

Dont be putting videogames down! :D I just took down a 8-pointer here in Finland in freezing weather, had to gut and skin it outside while it was freezing solid. After that amazing hunting it was pretty nice to go inside and play videogames ;)

Love that intro clay. You guys keep putting out the awesome content

[@CapitalTO]

Imagine having your nose so high in the air that you don’t realize how much the world is evolving. Everything can be monetized, air, time, hunting, video games. Take the time and look up how much the video game industry is BOOMING (compare it to hunting if you really want to piss yourself off). Look up people who stream and play video games daily who have become millionaires. But yea he’s right it didn’t do them any good.😂

LOVE THIS SERIES! Keep it up boys!

[@downriverfishing3639]

This has become my favorite hunting series! Keep em coming!

[@brandomorphin6358]

I enjoy both hunting and video games actually.

[@grantharland4740]

Confused and frustrated is exactly how you would describe most golfers.

[@Orange_pickles]

It’s different though. Hunting, it’s not always clear why it’s not coming together. Golf, it’s usually pretty clear. The confusion about gold comes when someone realizes they are spending a ton of time to walk around a manicured patch of grass to chase a little white ball.

[@markmissildine8345]

Yeah, i don’t know. I do know of a professional golfer that has an enormous plantation with big deer! Nice enough guy to let some lucky non-golfers to occasionally hunt there. So there is that.

[@CanadianCarFails]

Anxiously waiting for every episode to drop.

[@TobersOutdoorAdventures]

I love everything about this series! Wired to hunt-- Awesome! Rut fresh---- Awesome! Bear Grease---- Awesome! It's all made me a better hunter and outdoorsman. I've listen to many of the podcast, that I feel like I know you guys. Steve Rinella, please demand that Mark remove that mustache, or wear a full face mask!

I hunt Arkansas Zone 14 and the best off the family farm is 155 and some change. Our avg deer the last 10 years has been 142.45 (we avg up all the bucks killed the past 10yrs other day actually)

Ha, Jokes on you. I play golf and video games and still manage to find time to suck at deer hunting.

[@kylew7958]

Question for everyone. Normal sign normal spots by my stands but this year had a bear come through early rutt and steal garbage from my house and neighbors which is adjacent to where my stands are. Have seen no deer in normal activity. Any chance it's due to the bear being in the area?

[@levicameron934]

[@coats3727]

@@easttexasfishin2439 Congratulations…good deer can be hard to come by. Please don’t think I’m a disgruntled fella…I’m in ANY hunter and anglers corner (as long as they aren’t hurting the sport). But is singing, cell phone noises, racking a bullet in a gun, and other loud non-woodsy noises helping? Probably not, and that’s my point…and that’s all. The week of the rut is so special because big bucks let their guard down, big bucks who usually will stay bedded or turn and sneak away at the first sound that isn’t natural. This whole series is hunting THOSE deer and playing everything right to catch them with their guard down. I just don’t understand the need for unnecessary noise in the woods is all. They talk about scent control but neglect other forms of self-awareness, but perhaps I’m being nit-picky. Personally, I’m hyper aware of everything I do once I step out of the truck. That’s my point really. I screw up, we all do. And…I don’t have a camera filming me either, but I guarantee I’d be whispering the entire time, even after I kill, to help keep my spots as undisturbed as possible. Again, congratulations on your buck and may you and your buddies get many more.

I have a serious question... How does one tree-stand nap in a saddle? Because tree-stand naps are like the 1st best part of deer hunting...

[@ORoberge]

I haven't tried it, but you can look up the Dryad Drey saddle. It doubles as a hammock that easy gets out of the way when you're ready to shoot.

Head on bridge, arms crossed underneath...snooze away. Easy.

Dude just want to say that your opinion of Gold Shaw Farm is way off. I do support hunting I follow you long time, and was really disappointed when I heard your opinion, why??? AS you did not watch, about the farmer and the bear hunter interaction, you did not looked why Shaw was against hunting with dogs in his land, and most of all , you talked like he has no right , even if Shaw is the owner. Would be nice you do a podcast with him by phone .

Man, I had stop watching… dudes have cell phone cams and complain about dogs. As an amateur western houndsmen I’ll say you have it easy.

[@easttexasfishin2439]

I think its all about where youve been brought up hunting. Our family farm in Arkansas is 856 acres and so we’ve rarely had to deal with dogs that wernt ours and so it is frustrating when it happens and cells cams are just apart of the time changing in the world we have 5 cells cams and im blessed to be able to afford them but im bot blessed to be able to drive the 47miles from my house to the farm regularly and check cams yes ik people hate on cams but we have honestly seen a increase on the health and size of our bucks from being able to shoot the older ones and let the younger ones grow and live rather if we were unsure of whats out there we wouldn’t be able to pass a 140inch deer cause wed think its the only big one there however theres bigger and older that we want to get out the way. Everyone on the farm is allowed 1 buck only and it has to be 4.5-5.5 yr old and very mature and we process and eat everything we kill so dont think we are trophy hunting.

[@mporter012]

I'll probably get ostracized for this, but I think it would have been a better show if everyone is on public land. I like the show, but I'm such a public land junkie that I'd much rather see a guy shoot a 110 on public, then see Spencer gun down a 140 walking out of corn.
