First Buck on the New Farm, Planting Acorns | Bowhunting Whitetails w/ Bill Winke

We had a really fun hunt on Halloween when I shot what I believe to be the biggest buck on the new farm. He was out early and put on a real show. Then Jordan has another hunt and finally we wrap up with a segment on how we planted oak trees from acorns on the marginal pasture land on this farm. Also, a quick recipe for bacon wrapped venison loin. Good luck this week, the colder weather should help to get them moving during daylight.

As a dad i will say this: seeing you with your daughter makes my heart sing. The work. The hunting. The moments. Keep it up. I really like they way you are taking this channel.

[@bill-winke]

Thanks Brian. You are right. Building memories every day. Best to you and yours.

Watched the whole episode with a smile on my face like a kid at Christmas!

[@bill-winke]

Thanks Drew. I really appreciate the support and the comment. I hope you have a great season and great Thanksgiving.

[@markbatzel]

I am loving this more "raw" footage feel. The way most of us would film if we were just starting off. There is just something pure about it. Having a polished product is always amazing but this style hits home with so many and we are all excited to see that BBD Winke smile.

[@Masonjar94]

I just finished the episode of whitetail cribs with Bills crib. He opens a door and says something along the lines of “the big deer are in here” and he pops that smile. Bill is cooler than the other side of the pillow

[@bill-winke]

I appreciate both of you. Thanks for the support and the kind words. I hope you have/had a great season. Happy Thanksgiving.

[@ryanriegle2675]

Seeing Bill's face light up after shooting that buck has to put a smile on your face! No greater feeling! Congratulations sir, we truly enjoy your content. Now it's Jordan's turn!

[@bill-winke]

Thanks Ryan. Jordan's turn for sure. Have a great week.

Congrats Bill! Great to see another Bill Winke harvest on video. I always enjoy your dad jokes about blind eye deer. Now it’s time for Jordan to get one!

Thanks Dirty330. I really appreciate the support and the comment. I hope you are doing well and have a great Thanksgiving.

[@moorevideo77]

Good to know you didn't "Blindside" him Bill! Awesome! Excellent shot... Your preparation and work results in what looks like an easy kill, but I appreciate that you show the whole body of work! Well Done

[@bill-winke]

This one was pretty easy, but I did put in the time to have a good idea where he was living. Some bucks are just a lot easier to kill than others. I like those! Thanks for the support and comment.

[@tylerjones1814]

There’s something about this show. I love it. There’s so many KZbin hunting shows now, but this one might get me more excited about hunting and doing habitat work and scouting our family land as much as any show out there. I believe this is as genuine as any other hunting content out there.

[@bill-winke]

Thanks Tyler. I appreciate your support and your comment. We will try to keep the episodes coming. Happy Thanksgiving.

[@coreyfrasnelly7364]

Wow!, what a rewarding hunt….as busy as you have been bill this is just awesome!

[@bill-winke]

Corey, it has been pretty crazy trying to get all this in place. It was a gift from God for that deer to do what he did on only my second sit. Before I owned land and wasn't producing a show, I could just hunt every day. Now, it seems the projects and editing/filming and business cut way into it. I guess it is true that if you love something, don't do it for a business! But, I knew what I was getting into. Good to share with our daughter, that is the main thing now.

I expected thus to be a great series but had no idea the speed with which you would lay one down Bill. A final congrats and also very interesting to see you manage the habitat work in season, I feel like people are sometimes afraid to do anything but hunt when fall can be a critical time for different habitat manipulation

[@Susky62]

I've never seen this style planting of acorns before. Really has my gears turning about my future projects. I can't wait to see how this project comes along!

[@bill-winke]

Jahred, I have done it this way four other times. As long as the seeds are good (these were) and the planting conditions were good (again, we had perfect conditions) the seeds produced a ton of oak trees. I really like planting oaks this way. Much cheaper, faster and more natural than planting bare root stock trees. I have had very little success planting bare root stock, but direct seeding has worked well for me three out of four times. I hoping for four out of five. We will know for sure in April. Good luck.

[@accountburner4714]

@@bill-winke did you have a ton of deer browse on them? I think for my area if I don’t cage them the deer will prevent them from getting any size

[@finderofmorels]

I don’t know if you can tell me but I’d like to get a seed supplier. I’ve not had. Much luck finding one. Great show. Thanks

[@bsh724]

I truly enjoy your videos! I am really looking forward to seeing Jordan harvest her first deer with her Hoyt bow. I became a 'bowhunter only' at the age of 22 when I got my first buck with a bow (I'm 67 now). The excitement of getting that first buck with a bow will stay with me for the rest of my life, from that point on I couldn't enjoy hunting with a firearm. A few hundred deer, caribou, moose, hogs, turkeys, etc. later, I still get that thrill from all my work coming together. Keep up the good WORK with family and friends, it takes a lot of WORK to be LUCKY! Congrats on the nice buck, can't wait to see Jordan's, be safe and GOD bless.

[@bill-winke]

Thanks Steve. I agree 100% The close range required for bowhunting is addictive. I think my timeline was very similar. I started bowhunting when I was 14 but it took me 10 years to kill my first deer. There weren't many back then and no one knew much about it. But once I killed him I was hooked for life.

[@JayN4GO]

Congratulations on all of this Bill. The farm looks very different than I’d imagined when I heard you speak last. When looking for the right farm. Pulling for Jordan on her first bow harvest.

[@bill-winke]

Jay, in this market you take what you can find, but I really do like this farm. It is really pretty and has tons of potential. The more I learn about this area, the more I realize that the hunters here shoot pretty much anything that looks tempting and don't let any good looking younger bucks go. That will slowly change, but in the end, that is the key to the reaching this potential. I guessed at this since I knew several people in the area, but I bought it anyway. I am sure we can find at least one good mature buck to hunt each year. Good luck.

[@JayN4GO]

@@bill-winke yeah sounds like the place I hunt. For a few years I had everyone on the same page. All that flew out the window last year. I like the looks of your farm. You can cut access from top and bottom. In 2 years that place will be amazing looking. I’m glad you get to share that with the kids.
