Hunting Whitetails in Nebraska's Sandhills - DDH TV Flashback

www.deeranddeerhunting.com What matters the most to bucks: food, does, cover or safety? While each factor is important in their own ways, all are equally critical to bucks. Once a buck finds all four, you can bet he’s going to stick to that area. The key for your hunt is to locate where those four factors overlap. Your odds of spotting Mr. Big go way up after that. Learn more in this full episode of Deer & Deer Hunting TV.
How to find big bucks is the first question on many hunters’ minds, but that process needs to start with those four factors first. It’s not about walking into the woods, throwing up some trail cameras and hoping to catch a glimpse of the bucks in the area. Focus on identifying where the food, does, cover and safety are located instead. That means not getting discouraged when a few does come through on your trail cam instead of Mr. Big. That’s evidence that you can match to a bigger picture.
This approach works even in public land hunts, where scouting opportunities ahead of time can be limited. Go to where the deer feel safe, such as protected pockets away from other hunters or areas difficult to reach. When everyone looks left, go right, so to speak.
Keep watching for more about these imperative deer hunting strategies in this episode of Deer & Deer Hunting TV.

Was really looking forward to watching this because of the title. Figured I could learn something to help with my public land hunting..... Had nothing to do with the title other than the hype at the beginning.......

[@chuckdillard8112]

been watching this program for years.l think it it THE best program out there. l would love to hunt or work with these guys

[@DDHONLINE]

Thanks for watching and for the kind words, Chuck!

I lucked out last week during archery. I have a small 3 acre spread where my back yard goes into a bowl with 2 natural spring fed creeks one in each side of the bowl. They use this bowl as a transition area from feeding and does like to bed there. I’ve also had several small bucks bedding there with lots of scrapes but the other night a half hour before sundown I went out with the crossbow . I jumped three does in the way in and they ran into the bowl. I decided to turn and walk around the base of the bowl and come up to my stand from the bottom side. The wind was in my face coming from the bottom of the bowl so I decided to get on my stand. I also ran to the stand about 50 yards to make some noise to see if any curious deer would come investigate. Sure enough within ten minutes I heard noise on the trail below me. Thought it was squirrels but I heard a stick break which no squirrel could have done then I heard some heavy stomps. I watched intently and finally during last visible light a six pointer broke out and I heard another behind him lingering. The six started coming my way but looked nervous and stopped. He ended up walking 20 yards back the trail and broke out up the hill behind me. I heard the other one coming and knew it had to be a bigger one because usually the little one is working point. My patience paid off and a big 8 point broke out and followed the six up the hill. I had to get on the edge of my seat and turn my whole body around the tree and make sure my crossbow limbs would clear the tree trunk when I shot. I let out a grunt and the big boy stopped. I nailed a perfect heart shot and he ran down hill 30 yards and leaped the path which was on a small ravine. I think he was dead before he hit the ground because I watched him jump then crash.....nothing. I found him laying right where he landed piled up. What an awesome 15 minute archery hunt . He weighed over 200 lbs and was very tough to drag out of that ravine and up a 150 yard steep hill but I was able to get him to the processor before they closed up shop. I took a small six point two weeks prior ....same scenario. The little guy out front but I shot that six because the one behind him I couldn’t see and he never came out of the thicket. I should have waited him out but I saw him stop when I raised my crossbow slowly so I got the six with an epic heart shot through a small 12” window through trees and vines. Gotta love an accurate excalibur.

[@doubled3983]

I appreciate the videos and the advice, but DAMN! can you tone down the obnoxious "music" noise in front of what you are trying to say. I used to hunt the sandhills and the platte river area. Always good hunts.

[@scottyshabitat6009]

Great video lots of good info here

[@philivey1123]

45 hours and your tired already? My god some of these guys on these shows really have no clue what it's truly liking for the average hunter on 5-40 acres

[@aaronbelden8894]

chris martin lol I know right...I do that in one weekend...from a brush pile on the ground

[@ShootStraight84]

At 6:28 the deer jumps the fence right under someone tree stand lol

[@whill7828]

Good Eye!

[@StormWidgeon]

You guys need to do better, I couldn't stomach all the ads and the jumping around and only made it half way through, get on with the blasted story and stop embellishing every aspect of it. Your with a guide for petes sake, you have nothing to whine about!

[@robertcasagrande9661]

Wish there were some videos like this focused on the South, Alabama for specific. Hunting in the South is NOTHING like the Midwest farmlands.

[@glensurprenant7408]

lol try upstate ny. No "pro" ever talks about that either

[@jabberwookie1404]

please God no. Keep the 'pros' out in the sparsely-populated-by-deer Midwest.

[@trentonlampkin531]

What is the best buck bedding tactic that I could use for the past couple years the deer have been bedding on our neighbors property so what could I do to get them on my property

[@BubbaGump777]

Hey, good for them! These people have put themselves in position over the years to be professional hunters. They started out like everyone else, but got a lot better and now are in a different place. Stop being so critical...I know that is what most people seem to want to do, but it's unnecessary. If you don't like the video, don't watch and don't subscribe. Just say'in...

[@Abs0lut3Cyner]

What cameras do you use?

[@MeraxesElyseriss]

Where did you film this? I live in Saskatchewan and its my first time hunting. Any tips?

[@zzz7zzz9]

go for a drive in the afternoons and glass. and check to see who might own properties and ask for permission. it doesn't get any easier than hunting in Saskatchewan, you are in deer heaven. what area are you in?

[@douglaswoosley5136]

I MONITOR THE DEER WITH MY SPOTTING SCOPE TO KNOW WHERE THEIR AT

[@Danzchannel1]

C'mon Bartylla, lets see some public land hunts? I wanna see some "big woods" hunts. No corn and soy bean fields, I dont want to see fields at all, just woods and swamps. None of this "I'm in a wood lot, with a corn field 300yds behind me" crap. You so called pros have big talk, I guarantee I could put you pros in some public land spots that would have you crying, and not harvesting a 3 1/2 yr old bucks. I enjoy D&DH, but there is a lot of big talking, and not any walking, its okay to fail, lets see it.

[@rafon.]

Danzchannel, what's your point? That deer in the areas described by you is less likely to show and you would have to wait years and years for a good one? The grass is also green, cap!

[@Danzchannel1]

My point is all the big talk Steve Bartylla was saying about killing 3 1/2 yr olds on public land. I'm saying lets see some hunts, lets see the conditions, the surroundings, all the factors that went in to these public land harvested 3 1/2 yr old bucks. The majority of the tags sold in many states are to people who hunt public/state grounds. These working class tag holders are the "meat and potatos" behind most states game control/population. They are giving mainly false hope to most hunters, and at the same time injecting sales ads into the populous. I want to see results, not talk. I like watching real people on youtube, going on real hunts, shooting what they want, and is legal, or failing for that matter. At least I know it wasnt just big boasted talk. Thats all...

[@Mr99dm]

What Steve is giving you is good info and for you to apply it to where you hunt, and he isn't wrong!

[@davekamalas2537]

Danzchannel I agree with you they hunt low pressure hunting land and try and tell you how to hunt I hunt State land and the deer are far more hard to hunt period.

[@Danzchannel1]

dave Kamala's indeed! I must say, it does take hard work, to consistently harvest mature bucks, no doubt. It helps to live close to the hunting area, for scouting and stuff. It takes dedication and time and $$$ LOL

[@RedPill556]

so pretty much figure it out on your own

[@jordanwilson5555]

The brush at minute 8:00... what is it called? Thanks!

[@johnortmann3098]

It would help to know where this was filmed, but my best guess is some species of wild plum.

[@_SLAVEONE_]

That's hunting in Nebraska? Park on a hill where you can see for miles over open fields. Sit in the truck with binoculars?

[@J.E.Taylor]

Yeah, drive and spot, I mean spot and stalk... Ha!

Depends were you are. Nebraska has a diverse landscape.

How long does it take for a buck to come back once its been spook from its location??

[@joeellis2692]

Kou Vang . In my case never. Lol

[@zzz7zzz9]

some will circle right around and come back. some, will come back to that area later, but you'll likely never catch sight of them again.

[@bushcraftnorway]

Sooo.. where are the tips???

[@BlackAnvil47]

I've seen Deer walk out on an open gun range here in Virginia, Montgomery County. And I've seen what many hunters do to deer. They may kill the deer for it's backstrap or hind quarters and discard the rest to the side of the road. Each year I see 👀more and more carcasses discarded this way.

[@douglaswoosley5136]

IM THINGING OF WEARING A BLACK NINJA SUIT.FOR DEER AND TURKEY HUNTING AND I ALWAYS SPRAY DEER URINE ON MY BOOTS.TO GET THE BUCKS COMING TO ME.WHAT DO YOU THINK.

[@dl3g3nd45]

wearing black is not a good idea.. someone might mistake you for a bear.

[@douglaswoosley5136]

THANKS IM FOREVER GREATFUL ASAP OUTWEAR FOR ME.ITS CAMO.

[@simondelaney5694]

So they want food, water, shelter and a root, sounds like me 🙂

[@collinsforpresident9523]

The best way to hunt a deer is to put some corn or a salt lick on your property and wait for the deer to show up. This will happen even if you live in the inner city. I have seen deer cross a main street. Mostly at night. The same with racoons,rabbits,squirrels. Hunting is right outside your front door. No matter where you live. Believe it or not,

[@BlackAnvil47]

Yes you can buy what if a family member hit this crossing animal and severely injured......not really worth it is it?

[@collinsforpresident9523]

@@BlackAnvil47 That is a possibility of happening but i would venture to say that the odds of it is no more than normally of hitting a deer.

[@BlackAnvil47]

No I think the odds goes up a little

[@b2wtkagm]

Why don't these guys ever ACTUALLY explain HOW TO anticipate their behaviors, movements and/or patterns? We get it. We need to be smarter than the deer. So, how do we do that?!

[@lasergames1798]

This was a super weak video. Summary Let me tell you how to get the big boys no matter what! By "no matter what" I mean let me show you how to fly to my favorite hunting location and go with a guide to shoot deer that's trying not to freeze to death by hiding on the one spit of land with trees on it for miles.

[@deerking42]

Hahaha!!! Rookie hunters, also, not interested in your ads

[@maineoutdoorsman677]

If there’s no hunting pressure anything can get big an don’t have to be smart .game preserve right no coyotes no hunting pressure he still get big allon his own .just like one ina zoo

[@drackxman]

They didn't look dressed very well in Nebraska. No wonder he complained about the cold. A baseball cap and it was -4 with 20 mile an hour winds. Ask your sponsor for some clothes.

[@jakesmith6337]

Spot and "stalk" 🙄

[@joecarter2213]

OMG cheesiest intro I have ever seen.

[@dadnova1]

OK I'm lost. How is it you start to talk about how to find a Buck in the forest, then wamo, your in no mans land where you can see a rabbit standing up at 500 yrds, then back to the forest, then the flat lands. Pick a place and work with it.

[@MattN8tvYT]

Either a hype video if you ain't got no actual hype man, or a video on how men suffering PTSD or Alcoholism found hunting a therapy or treatment.

[@nkel6111]

i had venison n eggs yesterday n I can tell you sex, size makes no great contribution to flavor; It's flavor regardless. therefore this fascination some have with huge bucks proves nothing. Around here these peasants respect no limits plus its obvious 2,3 deer are just as tasty as a rough tissued grandpa.

[@hhwippedcream]

Is this a total joke?

[@rickdacus1818]

blah, blah, blah, Deer hunters wants techniques in wind, food plots, where to place your stand, and what time of day to hunt in your stand.

[@Raevenswood]

Loved the robo-buck intro. NOT

How about focusing on the title and not rambling on about some stupid hunts I could give a shit less about! Give us the information and expand on that not some hunts you went on.
