How To Hunt Deer In September

[@jeffreydlugokinski9038]

Love shooting does.

[@shisuiuchiha399]

I already miss the HuntWise before this last update. Really liked the triangle with the orange shaded section pointing where I’m walking

[@drewharman1690]

Good morning Jeff remembering 9/11 21 years later! Keep up the great videos God Bless

[@Frenchbroadcatman.]

I've got the patience and the weather. But I don't have the access lol. It's a two mile walk just to my best stand and I always bump deer no matter when I go in. Hardest place I've ever hunted I've even got pics of big bucks but no way to get in without spooking everything in the woods

[@graynotescartridgebox]

Good morning, Jeff! Thanks for the post!

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Good morning gray, happy Sunday!

[@spencerlofkvist4001]

Fresh Coffee and WHS. Thank you Sirs

[@paulsell2438]

Been following your advice for a few years now...the bigger bucks are just now starting to show up, looking forward to a great season.

[@philipkellerman9826]

I was too patient and conservative last season. Trail cam revealed my "target buck" several times in my food plot just in front of my blind. Neighbor guy 1/2mile away got him in rifle season.

[@andrewbrake586]

Wish I could attach pics. I spent today after church doing last minute shooting before October 1, but me my dad and lil bro cut up an old bed frame so I can do hang stands!

[@alexpinnow6509]

I've found success hunting less than 100yds into the farm during September. Get to scratch the itch of being out in the woods but have little impact at all on the farm, and have a solid opportunity to bag a few early season does.!

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Sounds like a great strategy Alex!

Good Morning Jeff from Central Illinois. Thanks for another great video. Our Opening Day is Oct 1st.

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Thank YOU Jerry! Good luck on Oct 1st 😊

[@weekendfarmer9375]

I've always had great luck early in the season on the cool weather fronts before they change their patterns

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Such a great tactic over food!

[@tannersteinborn7487]

Great video. Staying out of the woods my opening weekend in missouri. Upper 80's with no temp drop. Pluss I have tons of work to get done at home

[@Sparrowhawk187]

What impact does later Sept rye planting do to deer movement. Have no choice to be there whenever rain might come.

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

I don't worry a out it? Kind of one of those is what it is times. I'm actually seeding on opening day 😊 Will push some deer around d but I keep the machines running and keep any human voiced to a minimum

Great information Jeff, weather is definitely the key.

And what do you think of decoys when do use them or where do use them

[@slugoo6474]

He doesn’t I don’t think.

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

I'm not a fan at all...but there is a case for them in some if the more low pressure states. I do not use them...maybe some day in a big open river bottom flat in Iowa some day?

[@micahwilson7691]

love it thanks! hard wood videos coming? how to hunt it maybe?

[@gregruotsala6266]

Thanks Jeff! Muskies in the morning, transition to food in the evening is the best September early October strategy.

[@evancross8174]

Took me several years but I've found a couple public land spots in WNY that are not hunted. Either harder terrain(swamps/steep hills) or long walks. Lots of people hunting close to parking or marked trails

[@ncbackwoods6859]

Really appreciate the video jeff. What do you think about wearing a ghillie suit in a deer stand

[@RS-ms1bz]

One overlooked strategy is the opposite of what many hunters will say. And that saying is you can’t kill them sitting in the couch. Nothing could be farthest from the truth. Sitting on the couch, watching the weather forecast and expected wind direction is exactly how you kill them. Quality over quantity will bring success. Still have to hunt smart, but doing your couch work really pays off.

[@MikeFree22]

I realize this is an old post…and I agree with you to a point….but of course we watch these things…and of course we hunt the good days…but I’ve killed a pile of deer including bucks when the weather, wind, pressure, and my attitude were wrong. When nothing is going well according to the science…I slip around. Also, not everyone has enough hunt days throughout the year to skip a hunt over less than ideal conditions. Especially when they’re hunting public.

[@marvinhobbs9248]

Was going to order some of your northern switch blend to seed this late fall but it doesn't say anything about %hard seed or percent weed seed. What are those numbers and why not say what it is from the start?? It seems it's something you have stressed in your videos but don't provide it?? Thanks for all the info .

[@billcook9200]

I’m gonna sit in the stand and stare at does and fawns on my doe factory parcel. Habitat improvements over the winter/spring coming!

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Dang...you can turn it around FAST tho Bill!

[@billcook9200]

@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 I’m getting all the aspen select cut on my 80 and 7 acres of clear cuts for plots. I do have one acre of winter rye currently, but they’re not acknowledging it yet.

[@stephenkendall6108]

We pulled 15 does one year on nuisance tags there were 8-9 people hunting. The difference didn’t hit that year but every year since man oh man did we see an increase in bucks and have they grown. BUT we have to pull a doe or so for every buck every other year.

[@kalebmcdaniel9147]

Someone help!!! I missed a doe last night and my arrows went underneath her by a couple of inches I think my rangefinder was off it gave me 12 different readings but she was around 25 to 30 yards the first shot the second she was 30 to 35. How far can my arrow go so I know how far to look it is a perfectly flat field I was level with the deer.

[@patternpaper4940]

There’s no telling really. Tons of variables but probably not more than 30 yards past the deer. I’d recommend using lighted knocks in the future.

[@bowman8316]

60 yds or so from where you shot... borrow a metal detector 👍🏼

[@kalebmcdaniel9147]

Yeah the ground is very muddy where I shot and I can’t see it and the grass is super short also it’s a bright arrows and when I shot I didn’t see the arrow bounce so I think the whole thing is in the ground cause I can push my whole pointer finger in the ground with no effort

[@olibadger9016]

Out of venison so hoping to get out for the opener next weekend for at minimum some venison for the freezer prior to the shift. Top dressed the plots yesterday with WR prior to all this rain. Ready for my favorite time of the year. Good luck to all and thanks Jeff for your help on techniques to improve my hunting property. Its all up to patience and hunting the right stands when conditions are right.

[@gregallman3715]

Hey Jeff, finally getting rain here in Mid Michigan but is it too late to seed with the WHS Green blend?

[@jacobjones221]

I've listened to your tips on hunting small 4 to 8 acre land, I've scouted it all completely. Acorns, persimmons, creek, etc. They have plenty of food. Last year I Hunted by the Moon but most importantly the WEATHER and had a lot of success last season hunting. I also got to encounter the biggest buck of my life but couldn't get a shot on him, I wanted to give up hunting after that in all honesty but I've done some adjustments for this season and have a good feeling I'll put a big one on the ground this season.

Jeff got a question: should you use 2 different sprayers 1 for poison and 1 for liquid fertilizer on your ATV? Even if you flush the sprayer out every time after use? Thanks. Enjoyed the video.

[@bradbrockhaus633]

I wait for cool fronts/weather change...

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

For sure Brad! Your seasons don't last very long 😊

[@hunterbushnell13]

Hey Jeff, quick question. If I'm following the lime recommendations of the soil sample on a new plot with a decent starting pH of 6.0, would using PlotStart really have any impact and be worth it? It's a new, small plot with minimal sun, in an area with very little ag close by, so I want to maximize performance. Thanks!

[@SF-ku2hp]

Jeff I doubt you will read this but if you do could you do a video about multi use land. I will hopefully get some land in the next few years and would love to manage some of the land for dove hunting. Hoping to get 20-60 acres. Curious how dove hunting in September would affect the deer hunting in October through December.

[@johnlindsay8630]

How is Jeff been

[@murjac13]

Hey Jeff, would you do a video on your believes around the youth season for private land, principles you think are appropriate with regards do you let the youth shoot anything, does only, bucks only, when you would say they don’t use the youth season on private and graduate them to adults, etc all that fun stuff

[@grdelawter4266]

I gotta say that patience was never my strong suit but as I’ve aged, patience is now a part of my strategy! Weather patterns are critical to me. I hunt my own land and even though archery begins Oct 1, I’ll wait and stay out of the woods until late October after a cold front. A secondary reason I wait until later is that I butcher my own deer and don’t have a walk in cooler. So if it’s not going to be very cool, I wait. You might say that I’m just a meat hunter, maybe, but I’ve also got many hanging on the wall of honor! Eating a left over tag has never been as good as eating backstrap

[@bowman8316]

Good comment man 👍🏼 When its warm, i bone out and bag meat then age in fridge a few days before freezing it. Works great ! No tag samiches lol

[@johnpinter2671]

Anyone who judges you for hunting to eat is stupid. Humans have been doing that since the beginning of time.

[@johnlindsay8630]

Hey Jeff I have a question for you I live in Ontario Canada I’ve always seen this HuntStand stuff on the Internet whatever is that stuff only good for the US because I haven’t gotten it just because I think it’s a scam myself but is it good for Ontario or is it just a thing that points you or gives you I don’t know information it’s almost like that moon moon phase sang my bought that and that was a scam I think that’s OK and I the US but I don’t know about Ontario the moon in Ontario is totally different than the moon and Wyomi

[@timhatfield6367]

Forget the moon...?

[@terrydewayne7690]

Ahhhhhh....yawn...stretch....scratch.....been raining for a week down here in the blackbelt....turnips and daikons going crazy...young bucks and does filling the new bedding....i love it when a plan comes together ! I expect the deer to wipe out the brassicas...someone forgot to tell our deer not to eat the turnips til it frost on them here....so im hoping they expose some dirt for me to overseed some rye late in october for a little more food choice/diversity..hoping for nice rye plots they kept mowed last year with some leftover brassicas scatterd thru it..otherwise we gonna be eating alot of turnips this year !

[@ec9697]

Private..I’m holding off unless it’s a small parcel and I know there are neighbors that are hardcore hunters..then I’m still only sitting the pm.. Public..got to go ahead and hit ‘em hard but still prefer evenings I learned a lesson from my biggest harvest..I saw him one evening by chance as I drove to my evening spot..I hunted him 13 out of 14 days.there were multiple hunters in there every day so I had to push hard.I’d be climbing down and see other flashlights across the way..Serious pressure.Anyways..I saw him 2 more times,one evening out of bow range and one evening out of muzz range..another hunter went to his truck early and spooked the buck with his headlights..he ran a couple hundred yards and spun around watching him.That buck disappeared for 5 days all together and when he came back he switched to mornings.i finally got him that second morning he came Back.on day 14.. So..great advice as always..think of the situation

[@frankspataro9714]

We can't hunt till Oct here but when weather sucks and I want to go out I go to a spot I don't normally ever hunt and hunt from the ground kill a doe or two I love to hunt and would hunt ever day if I could just save the good spots till prime time and by prime time I mean weather not the rut be so much easier to kill a good buck here if we could hunt in sep I would stalk em in beans right at dark here a beans are dead by Oct soon as they yellow they are worthless here

[@timhatfield6367]

Soon as beans yellow...throw out some winter rye..it will get started and farmers can pick beans right over the rye. Don't take long for it to grow through bean stubble. Worth a try...worked for me last year.
