HOW TO FIND the ACTION During the RUT!

[@BoostedYote]

I’m just as excited for the deer tour as I am for my opening day.

[@johnbrewer1768]

Hey Hollywood, how bright is it in there?

[@kingpingpongpow]

Hahaha looks like he’s enjoyed a little bit of electric lettuce

[@PBAdventures146]

Lol!!

[@montanascotts4706]

[@soltcolt4506]

What are they talking about? If you cannot get a kill durring rutting then you should choose a different hobby! Killing those damn stupid worthless animals is so easy when they only think about mating

[@jaredeberly9724]

@@kingpingpongpow never heard that one but I like it 😂 most definitely took one too many puffs

[@josiahandrachelshoemaker3904]

I’m enjoying these sit down discussions. You guys should do a Rut Game Plan conversation before Nov hits. You could include some Do Nots and Must Do for those of us who don’t have the luxury to professionally hunt. Keep putting out great videos. THP rocks.

[@brentthebloodhound]

You guys should do a hunt in public land in Michigan in UP

[@FISHUNTREECOUNTRY]

THP needs to track bucks in snow. That is the only avenue left that needs a walk on.

[@chasetinroden4215]

Glad the videos have picked back up. This is one of my favorite shows to watch

[@winxr1285]

Can't wait for turkey season .good luck in the deer woods THP !!

[@Jonnydeerhunter]

Along with deer sign, and probably even more important, other Hunter sign. Alot of other Hunter sign, tree stands, etc... If I see that, I'm going somewhere else.

[@danielduroy3517]

What I’ve noticed is it all on the doe’s, you can’t tell when the bucks got it on there mind but when the doe’s give off the slightest sent the bucks get territorial then you choose your set wisely and be hunting cause it’s fixin to pop off

[@joshblackburn8471]

Lets wrap er up.... Its wrapped up

[@moosejcthunter5686]

It's almost September!

[@amjorgy1]

The hard part for me with hunting scrapes is having bucks come work um during daylight. Seems like most mature bucks in my area (Wisconsin) are working scrapes at night because the hunting pressure is so high around these parts.

[@WillsGoneWalkabout]

Hopefully that all changes for you this year mate and you get one of those big fellas.

[@Kurtdog63]

Hunt active scrapes close to doe bedding areas and travel routes between bedding areas late October and early November. Once the doe's go into heat, mating parties will form and groups of bucks, small and large will be moving around with a hot doe. Hunting right in the doe bedding areas may be more productive, because once the breeding starts, scrapes can go dormant, and bucks will be cruising and chasing as more and more doe come into heat. Once the peak passes, scrapes will start opening back up. Scrapes by fields are mostly checked nocturnally, so scrapes further back in the woods tend to be more productive for daytime activity.

[@Vinzbmpnd]

You guys are awesome I mean you break down I believe key subjects so anyone can understand.. Just continuous quality from you guys 💪🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@craig5649]

To me the terrain and cover in Iowa that I see ya'll hunt is very similar and should be somewhat predictable. Wide river bottoms, ridges with oaks and ag fields are predominant features. There are plenty of edges to scout for sign and watch vast open areas for big bucks. Not everyone is so lucky. I've learned a lot of things from watching your hunts but I can't apply much to my big woods hunting environment. I'm also too old to cover the miles of ground you all do. If you're looking for me I'll be in the funnels or on the edges of known bedding areas waiting and hopefully not dozing off. Can't wait for the tour to get started and seeing some dead trophies. Good luck!

[@WillsGoneWalkabout]

Living around Raleigh NC I can relate to this Craig. It's either thick pines, big woods or lake edges. I have been able to take a fair bit of info from this channel and apply it to those areas, but man would I love some ag fields and wide river bottoms.

[@mattbrewer32023]

Ted rockin those shades inside like a straight killa!

[@kennethhowington5657]

Teds future is so bright. He’s got to wear shades!!

[@marshallhaslett8717]

There’s a scam happening in the reply’s to comments guys. Impersonating you saying to text etc.

[@corbinreynolds5400]

do yall have a podcast

[@mddoane11]

Really liking the round table discussion style videos. Keep them coming. Hey Aaron, your wallet is hurting my back just looking at it.

[@WillsGoneWalkabout]

Some interesting stuff in here. I like that you get into the nuance of different months. I have struggled with reading rubs over the years and like you Aaron have more recently focused on scrapes. Easier to tell how old they are in my eyes. Still yet to catch a big boy in one though. Hopefully this is the year.

[@doubledroptinehunter]

The second half of October I really to start to watch and set up on the doe bedding areas downwind for cruising bucks. Usually a lot of young bucks, but once in a while you'll get a goodern. Especially the later into October you get.

[@razorslick7447]

Good info as usual guys. We have a three day velvet hunt this coming weekend. Of course it won’t be hot only 90 everyday 😂😂

[@ljb3429]

Maybe you guys should make a video about FINDING THE ACTION during the early season. Seems like that might be a little more relevant.

[@gordonhenderson6799]

I love this show. I look forward to it always lol. great work THP keep it up.

[@codydeering3310]

Really love their hunting videos and these are still great to watch, learn just as much listening to them talk about last experiences as I do watching them hunt. Really like hunting near HOT scrapes my self when I find them super fresh. Keep ‘em coming season just around the corner in KY

[@tyzemke4381]

What's the schedule this year??

[@robgrubb420]

jake had a really good perspective a couple times in this one. you guys rock GL on antelope!

[@anthonyjahn559]

Rockin' those "Macho Man Randy Savage" glasses. 🍻. Great video. Keep em coming

[@JamesJones-mb7pb]

Y’all should come up and hunt my private land in Maryland and then I have two really good pieces of public in Pennsylvania that have bucks everywhere!

[@tyronedavis2812]

Got me one of those big bucks 2 months ago. I be comin home from the salty mine early and there be a big old buck makin a scrape on my nightstand. I be guessing my queen was in heat. Took dat buck out wit my camo bow I be gettin from da walmart. Dem bucks be ruttin all up and down my street. I be living on 8 mile in da big Motor city Detroit. Good show but it not help me. I dont see bucks rubbin trees here.

[@DLRinc]

In my neck of the woods, if you ain’t hunting a rub line during the rut, you ain’t seeing the big boy.

[@underdogoutdoors]

Go to the thickest out of the way place with the least amount of hunting pressure & sit there all day, go early, stay late, take no short cuts.

[@markgrenier6787]

I have heard that there are occasions when bucks won't make us great or don't have to make a scrape or a rub is that true

[@jeffliles8150]

Awesome guys. Thanks for sharing. I'm not new to deer hunting but I'm trying to be new to being successful at deer hunting. Would you do anything different in a late rut. South Mississippi it's not till January.

[@curtpeachey]

very end of video. wrap it up guys, I gotta poop!! OK let's wrap it up... enjoyed the video guys, but I could have kept listening twice as long, yall have great knowledge and experience.

[@robertmyers7542]

I live in Oklahoma and that mid October is very unique and I believe a sleeper time to kill a buck you see only two times a year on camera, one you’ve never seen before or one that comes and goes on the property but never stays longer than 36 hours. After watching timing on cameras Over the last 9 years, I believe around the 14th bucks break loose and start covering a tremendous amount of ground over about 3 days. Some know right where the plan to go while others I believe are checking to see where they might be able to stand ground and claim their 75 acres. I personally will be hunting evening sits extra hard on the 14-18 of October. Something special happens around those dates in buck movement.

[@joshuahenn6189]

Awesome stuff. It’s kinda obvious but I’ll state it anyway. If you’re hunting a smaller private parcel, you can’t really hunt this way. But still some great info. When your property gets hot, or a certain section of your property gets hot, better be hunting it!

[@brandonballinger9714]

I know y’all have evolved to the mobile type hunting, and don’t get me wrong it creates great content. But myself who doesn’t hunt much public land or bigger acreage, I miss the relatability of seeing y’all hunt out of a tree. JS

[@theoldgobbler2461]

Aron is right about sign telling a story. Rubs and scrapes can tell there own story or share a story. The trick is to reasonably assess it. Buck or bucks are leaving information for does and other deer. Bucks or a buck are trying to find and atrack the attention of does. A rub may turn into a concentration of rubs in a doe bedding area. Then the scrapes start showing up. The scrape or scrapes act as a poster board, and deer start leaving sign. Does, bucks and other deer may or may not leave sign other than their smell. Thru out the rut the sign may or may not change depending on the deer. Movement, how many, predators and what ever.

[@FISHUNTREECOUNTRY]

Use rubs to find scrapes; Use scrapes to find fresh scrapes; Use fresh scrapes to find travel routes downwind of doe travel. Hunt those downwind sites. Set up where it pinches, intersects and/or has food and water incentive, and antipate any use of the more secure cover in that section. Also, if there ain't feces or hoofprints...... find where there is feces and/or hoofprints.

[@FISHUNTREECOUNTRY]

Scrapes for pre-rut Scrapes leading to doe travel for rut

[@bownut6115]

I would like your opinion on hunting Does early season, I hunt urban properties and the Deer are over running communities. Do I Risk taking too many Doe and send Bucks looking elsewhere for Love???

[@kevinrapp8003]

These sit downs are great. Its like putting together a puzzle. All the things I've been doing for years, then hearing how y'alls experiences confirm the same. Just constantly looking to find that one piece, that will complete, in this case, your hunt!! And to all the new hunters out there, listen and learn!!! All this info is invaluable, and will take years to figure out on your own!

[@wildfire365]

I'm thinking about hunting Walmart parking lot. The deer been eating the Kudzu next to the parking lot. I saw a huge eight or ten point and another one that was almost as big. Looked like a great place. 👍 👍

[@donwaldroopoutdoors3665]

Hypotheses, woooh slow down professor

[@dougwalton4831]

Love this I'm in ohio private only 60 acres ground but far from where zach goes I've got stands close to sign post rubs & scraps that seem to happen every year . I have to drive 2.5 or 3 hours to get to some good public ground

[@tannerlamb6501]

It’s hard to find that smoking hot sign in big woods in PA it might just be a scrape of two on a bench. Mobile hunting for me is sitting those funnels and moving on what I see, consistently see deer coming off a certain ridge I’m gonna go over there. Easy to say find the smoking hot sign and set up on it

[@thatpker]

Enjoying these discussions! I hunt blacktails but i feel like there is still some take aways here.

[@johnmcmorris1170]

Being in the right place in the right time is the key. You can't always predict what the right place is but you can control the right time. The right time is " as much time as you can spend in the stand" in the right conditions. These guys have it right. Read the sign and get in the woods if you can. The rest is luck. Good luck to everyone in 2022. Be safe and get a big one!

[@roymcdavid1015]

Aaron, I believe you stepbrother told you a fib!!! Haha. I’ve done it to try throw a buddy off a hot spot!!! ( they would done it to me )

[@bowhuntingleprechaun5268]

I would be really interested to see y'all come to a deep southern state (Alabama Florida Mississippi ECT)

[@jamesgoshorn461]

I'm sorry, but I can't take Ted seriously with those glasses on inside the house! Lol

[@C.smith8137]

Ted making that table look like its moving mach 1

[@jaredeberly9724]

Jake is absolutely right. Ole buck knows when the fawns are going into heat and they’ll move into the area

[@bikerbrandon1]

When you go into new areas and you bump a big buck do they run to bedding? Have you guys tracked them and found where they run to when scared or spooked

[@ryanmurray570]

19 more sleeps and I’m after em!!!! And Thanks guys for the content, keep it up 👍

[@coreybissonette3662]

If I find a scape and it is fresh I will sit on it an call with a doe bleat and a grunt call. But I also look to see how hight the licking branch is off the ground.

[@ryanwittman3975]

Ted looks like the kinda guy who wears his sunglasses at night.. cause the sun never sets on a badass.

[@dannyb6968]

Just curious, Will y'all be bringing the Fred Bear decor to the new hunting cabin? Thanks for the good info.

[@colestupar8074]

What is your guys go to calls for the rut? Can you make a video about your guys opinions and tactics?

[@zekeoutdoors]

Great bunch of guys. I love the hanging out talking videos, it's like deer camp talks.

[@nevrslo1556]

Step one - find deer tracks. step two - follow tracks . step three - shoot deer easy peasy done . if only

[@robgrubb420]

scapes in the thick bedding area that is savagely thrashes super fresh!

[@nuke_em_007]

I listened to this on podcast and I wish there was video of it on there I love watching you guys interact with each other lol

[@joeyphillips3153]

Whats up with Tedrick?? 😎

[@richnaples2852]

The conclusion of it all as looking at Aaron’s two kills in Missouri and what Dan says, timing is everything!

[@Gumshara]

Cool STUFF THANKS FOR SHARING ✌OUT LATER

[@johnbrewer1768]

Watch out THP. I've just gotten scammed by someone trying g to give me a bow. All I had to do is pay Shipping. Now I know you all wouldn't give away an R X 7 and charge the winner shipping., You should look into it.
