Big Woods Thermal Masterclass! How Deer Use Thermals to Survive!

[@chomp4111]

Thermals and Wind are by far the most important thing getting close to whitetails and you explain that very well in this video. Thanks again y'all!!

[@philliplee9043]

I like this topic but very curious to hear yalls intake on thermals on flat land and or swamp wetlands

[@mikehardaway11]

What’s Shane channel?

[@jake-hofer]

Learned a lot from Shane!

[@attaboyhoss]

Great explanation makes sense how they use the terrain knowing what your area is doing through thermals throughout the year major pieces for successful hunt 🔥 info/vid

I'd like to hunt with him. Got a few good spots on public in some hills

[@bobamerican755]

What no one ever explains is which is greater, thermals or wind. Obviously on a calm day this is all relevant but what about days with winds from 10-15mph (which is everyday on the Great Lakes) I’m pretty sure wind counteracts thermals after like 10mph at that point thermals don’t matter because the force of wind is greater

[@mikemehevic5292]

Ya but the wind dies at some point typically. There's not always 10-15 mph winds. And I literally live in a town on lake Michigan so don't tell me there is

[@Heavy_Arrow312]

Even if their is no wind, your thermals will always drop and follow a path like water. The path of least resistance

[@bobamerican755]

You should reread my comment. We all know when there’s no wind that’s what happens. The question was when there IS strong wind does it counteract the thermals

[@Matt-de7eg]

Yes. That’s when swirling happens. Deer know/feel/smell this and will bed accordingly.

@@bobamerican755 even if its "Strong winds" during the day, they will settle at sunset, unless your in the middle of major storm

Y’all never talk about hunting in steep Appalachia mountains. Steep as a goats face lol. South eastern ky. Already seeing big rubs.

[@AceBase5]

Yea hard to find many people that talk about eastern states besides Pennsylvania

[@kylehahn3775]

This guys from north Georgia I believe

[@MilkManBobby]

@@kylehahn3775he’s from Alabama and mainly hunts the steep mountains around Chocolocco

[@JayN4GO]

Most of south eastern Ky is the Hardest area I’ve ever hunted due to say a strong south wind in a holler will be west. So many cross thermals and cross winds. That’s why the bucks get huge there. They usually live most of their life in a bowl with bench escapes.

@@JayN4GO I’ve never hunted it but I have family in Floyd county and wanted to try some early season bow hunting and late muzzleloader in the area
