You ever make a ton of noise setting stands and hang a cam and 2 hours after you leave deer come and check it out

[@travisshuttleworth630]

Killer episode! Keep up the good work fellas!

[@HUNTRPOD]

Thanks dude!

[@camerondell2012]

Appreciate y’all opening the community to more hunting content.

[@HUNTRPOD]

You bet dude, for sure some haters out there but we have to talk about this stuff

[@JC-qn3ws]

Hungarian Smokehouse in Carmichaels?! Great place indeed and they do an excellent job processing my deer. Big bucks down here in Greene County.

[@HUNTRPOD]

Thats the one

[@karlcole9539]

I been to that now zone in 93 or 94 Then hunted in cold lake area. I was with some old dude who had the bow zone bucks down cold...he was a driver and saw them all the time

[@austinl18]

Damn you guys didnt need to call me out like that at 1:05 😅🤣 Another great piece of content from you guys. Hunting smarter is a much better choice. Instead of me just saying "I need to be in the woods to kill a deer" Saw 2 deer in a total of 12 hours of hunting between two days - I would say I need to do more scouting.

[@HUNTRPOD]

Hahaha!

[@brandonmiller7372]

You guys need to get Nathan Killen or Andy May on here ! Great video!

[@HUNTRPOD]

Andy is laying low we tried, I’ll check Nathan!

[@CWhite-eu7bp]

“He was mature” and “maybe he keeps coming back” 😂 I’m crying

[@rasant8917]

Back in the day, we had “history” with a deer. Today, we have “data” on deer. Lots has changed but there’s something special about reading old journals about a hunt. Today, we’re getting cell cam videos of deer fighting and making scrapes.

[@HUNTRPOD]

I read my old hunting journals all the time, so cool to dive back into nostalgia

[@matthewhutchins7947]

I use a permanent loop of paracord and a s biner for my platform and sticks s biner is wrapped in hockey tape i run the paracord on the saddle loops and a paradord on plat form and s biner or carabiner to connect them together.... I also have the eberhart and 1 sys hauler.... tethrd gen 3 one sticks arrive in 2 days and aiders are on order

[@HUNTRPOD]

Freakin eh Hockey tape! The most important tool hunters forget!

[@easternoutdoorsman2521]

Allen deluxe automatic bow hoist.

[@larryhobbs8769]

Man y’all should see if you can get a copy of that spreadsheet. Kind of like a template of what he is looking for and keeping up with. That wood be awesome. Great podcast.

[@HUNTRPOD]

Haha I know I need that data

[@mikefromoh2925]

Hey awesome episode! One question, if you are hunting does, do you go hard in October, or would you wait for the end of the month/November - will there be more does moving then? It’s an area like big woods where you can’t dial in the food sources, not many deer, and the deer wander.a lot. Thanks!

[@HUNTRPOD]

Earlier is probably better but there are times/spots that later won't hurt anything either.

[@easternoutdoorsman2521]

Also use Amsteel for you sticks. Eastern woods outdoors has premade sets

[@HUNTRPOD]

Amsteel? Is that a brand

[@easternoutdoorsman2521]

@@HUNTRPOD no it's a rope material used in winches. It's a mod that's very popular with saddle hunting and mobile hunting.

[@HUNTRPOD]

Very cool man!

[@rinoformicuccia7206]

Love your content guys! I have a question for y’all. I have been tracking this 4.5 year old buck since Halloween and he only presents himself at nighttime. I did just get a picture of him right after dark where I believe he could be bedding. How would you guys approach this to try and key in on this buck

[@HUNTRPOD]

Hey Rino - what state are you in? That will determine the approach

[@rinoformicuccia7206]

@@HUNTRPOD thanks for the response! I currently am hunting in Michigan

[@charlesleblanc6638]

This fall I've found a few spots that were Buck bedding areas, but it was already to late to hunt there by mid October. If your not hunting for mature Bucks only, wouldn't it be a good idea to hunt when the bucks were in there in early October ? Close to bedding.

[@HUNTRPOD]

Man I still believe mid October cold front near bedding will be better than peak rut hunting

[@charlesleblanc6638]

@@HUNTRPOD Definitely agree, but I believe that being there when the Bucks were using the area, even before mid October was/is my only option, since they were in there early from the sign they left behind. I found the sign to late this fall.

I've hunted and hiked the Chestnut Ridges all my life. God's country. They're actually called that because before the blight that killed all the American Chestnuts these ridges were loaded with them.

[@EinsteinTeachedYou]

Good but alot of extra mumbo jumbo not needed stretching this 25 extra min

[@gametrailoutdoors]

Only a couple min in and theres already fucking nakedness lmao. I was curious what hoodie you got on, it's pretty awesome man.

[@HUNTRPOD]

Hahaha

[@Masonjar94]

I keep baby wipes on me at all times for this occasion

[@leeweber8889]

So you guys stole my spypoint??? !!!! 😡

[@HUNTRPOD]

Haha no

[@pennsylvaniaboys5489]

This has nothing to do with the video itself but I am so tired of all these political ads! Having no choice, not an option to skip, but hear this crap over and over!!

[@HUNTRPOD]

Duuude no doubt. Dr Oz or Fetterman stop texting me too
