I'm A Doe Magnet - Vlog 2 Hunting Season

[@merlynnkoehn3971]

Heidi, thanks for the video, the farmhouse update, and I always enjoy seeing the beautiful countryside! Take heart, sweetheart, your day is coming when that nice buck shows his face. I did see one fantastic 'trophy', the lady in the blind! 👍💖💖🙏🙏

[@sonnypate6808]

Find a large ground scrape on your place. Go several miles away and find the biggest freshest scrape and using rubber gloves and a plastic container that has been cleaned out with boiling water. Take the top four inches of dirt from the scrape and spread it over the scrape near where you're going to hunt at your place. Works like a charm try rattling and estrus calls while hunting over that scrape. It's one of the tricks that has helped me harvest over 20 bucks over 150 inches net. All with a bow. 👍☮️

[@Kevinheaven7]

I really enjoy your hunting videos and your way of thinking about hunting. It’s so refreshing , work hard, once’s you shoot. Then enjoy your hard work. Don’t give up 👍🏻

[@thickwristmcfist3399]

I LOVE your videos.... Im so glad that you're back and posting frequently... I noticed no sidearm today... NEVER get complacent, girl! Keep up the great work!.... Did i mention you always have the best music in your videos? Fabulous!

[@markstine781]

Stay safe Miss Heidi and good luck with your hunt and your family farm build. You are strong! You are Appalachian strong! You ancestors settled that land and you are preserving their heritage!! This is America, this is you!!!

[@earlebarnette2884]

I am happy that you are going on with your life, I enjoy watching you in nature or building things from around your property. I'm from Indianapolis Indiana , keeping you in prayer. I like the way u be fishing now that it's hunting season just have fun.

[@antoniomontana9430]

Even war paint camo looks awesome on Heidi Keep doing what you're doing...we love your content and the gardening videos especially. I've started home gardening too in my backyard of my Florida home. Cut down all the old and rotting trees and instead planted citrus, Avocado, mango, berries, vegetables, and herbs. Also started making my own compost from kitchen scraps and saw dust from all the trees I've been cutting down. It's fun and very relaxing, most of all very rewarding.

[@johncampesino3083]

Keep your powder dry! Time is near. Heart was racing with those 4 doe around your elevated blind. Kept waiting for a big boy to walk out from the woods. Best wishes for the season. Looking forward to your venison recipes this Christmas !

[@matthewwilliams7735]

Oh how I miss the ups and downs of deer hunting, once I got my English Setter for upland bird it all but diminished my bow hunting. I'm so glad you decided to carry on with the channel I can tag along on your deer hunts, good luck and God Bless!

Great blind and killer camo makeup. Those big bucks WILL be there yours soon. Farm house is looking great. As you are also. Happy holidays sweetie

[@DavidMartinez-oc6tv]

Awesome hunting videos Heidi. It takes allot of hard work to plan and sit out in the blind just waiting for the buck you been waiting for and when it happens it was all well worth waiting for. Love you Heidi and Elo and your beautiful parents. God bless you always

[@barrybrowning9682]

Appreciate you taking us along on the hunt Heidi. It was nice to chill and enjoy the footage of the does and the surroundings.Deer are beautiful animals. Rabbits and squirrels are all I've ever hunted but oh do I like venison, especially jerky if seasoned just right. My dad has property he let's a chosen few hunt deer on. Uhh, I believe there was a doe in your shower !! Thanks Lil' Red.

[@KenBlackRifleAmerica]

Your choices and experience will provide the winning formula for success! You're doin' it the right way girl! Take your time...that nice 'skyscraper' buck is out there waiting for YOU! Good luck Heidi!

[@OLDMAN-se3yg]

Little tip, when you're hunting on the ground get those scent bombs at least15 yards from you in a triangle, so when the buck comes in he's looking toward them and not you. Good luck. Got a 4 point Thanksgiving evening. Still chasing the big 8 I've seen.

[@brianduran3391]

Great footage enjoyed it

[@wolfpack7598]

Your definitely a Huntress Heidi Hood! You'll get a Big Buck eventually that u can be proud of & with many memories. The Beautiful Outdoor Natures & Adventure of it is all part of it. Beautiful & Great Vid. Once again. All takes patience & time. "Hope your "Holidays were Good, Blessed & Well. West Wis.Wolf Pack!🐺

[@boogerdog5247]

So, if the bucks are still grouped, you're in pre-rut. Rut soon changes the strategies. In the doe herd, some will enter the estrus stage, others in the family group won't, but they will remain in their herd, until they pair off with a dominant buck and sequester, once they enter their estrus cycle. I never harvested the old gray lady, the dominant doe that teaches all the survival skills, nor a lactating doe. Those are absolutely beautiful woods, and I see abundant food browse. Pre-rut dominant bucks can still be found in their core area, where they bed. It's where they feel safe. They will leave there for food and to check their adjacent rub lines and scrapes. If you can find the doe's licking stick, you have found the holy grail of the deer herd's habitat.

[@comfortablynumb9342]

I don't even hunt and that was both interesting and good to know. I enjoy watching the deer in my yard in NC. There have been lots of does around but no bucks that I've seen yet. Does that mean bucks will show up for the does? I live in the city limits but I have 2.5 acres of woods and 1 acre of yard and there is lots of space around. There are deer around the tree line most nights. They know my dogs can't hurt them I guess because they come close, 20 or 30 yards from my back door. Anyway I'm curious why I haven't seen many bucks before and none this year in the yard. I've seen some on the way to work in other similar yards, but not mine.

[@duanehenicke6602]

@@comfortablynumb9342 Long as you have doe the bucks will show up. Everyone wants horns. Therefore you have overpopulation of doe. I harvest doe every year. Keeps the population in check. Can't eat those horns. Just doing my part to keep the doe to buck numbers somewhat close.

[@comfortablynumb9342]

@@duanehenicke6602 I understand and respect thinning the herd to keep them from getting overpopulated and because people eat them. But meat makes me sick so I don't hunt mammals. Plus I'm in the city limits, so no hunting. The deer in my yard are safe. I just enjoy seeing them, mostly at night. They get hit by cars here a lot on the bigger roads. I only ever see does it seems like, so I wonder where the bucks are. Maybe they stay in the woods more or under the power lines out back.

[@johngonzales4516]

I love your attitude Heidi. Thank you for sharing the latest and looking forward to the next vlog. God bless you and your family always.

[@russchandler388]

Farm house looking good. Glad to see you didn’t let anybody dictate what you do, my luck with doe estrus hanging is to walk into the wind and drop them about 25 yards on the tree limbs before you get to stand. Scent control is key so make sure your not scented up with anything other than natural surroundings. If you have cedars they make a great place to set up. Gonna make you a one off grunt call so get in touch with me. Good luck in the beautiful outdoors God has created.

[@charliehos3936]

White tails are fascinating creatures. When they stomp their front feet and throw that nose up you know you’ve been made. Won’t be long until ole buckie comes checking around. Best time to hunt is all day long because he’s not on a clock. Hope you have a very successful season. Good luck.

[@johnbubbajohnson5630]

Those doe's i dont believe was in heat yet there fur was were laying to smooth. But as long those Doe' s are there once they do go in heat you have your buck. Thank you for sharing this with us today and God bless you ....🙏❤🙏❤🙏🙂😊🙂

[@terrykline1358]

Awww. Seeing you setting up your blind/tent was priceless. Good luck and stay safe and please keep these videos coming

[@markramrattan7206]

That blind is cool! I didn't expect it to be that transparent on the inside.

[@leejohnson7293]

Nothing like being covered up in Does during hunting season! That same thing paid dividends for me last year. They drew a nice buck right in. Albeit a couple hours later. My patience paid off, as I was rewarded handsomely.

[@ebhsports6251]

You need to find a fresh scrape line that a buck is working and keeping the scrspes cleaned off and his territory marked up. Hang your doe scents over an active scrape and hunt that. The buck should have a line of scrapes on a trail that he'll check daily. Mostly he'll check them from a distance traveling downwind and parallel to his scrape line.

[@jesseblackburn8437]

Good luck and your hard work will pay off! Thanks for setting a good example and God bless!

[@bobs1648]

Heidi I'd be happy with does right about now. Heck, I spent 6 hours in a tree stand the other day with a family of skunks camped out at the bottom of my ladder... Be safe and BIG HUGS as always! 👍

[@Q_The_Rabbit]

Our greatest successes have been just sitting in the truck. The Mule Deer are used to seeing the truck diddy-boppin' about. When it is snowing or a hard rain at 35F, makes for getting back to the house easier. The sheer distance from one side of the ranch to the other, bears, puma, Brandon's undocumented guests, & jaguars make hiking to or from a hunting spot in the dark problematic. That, and you can hear a pin drop 5 miles away when the air is calm. Often, deer are located by hearing a rock trickle down a hill. So, we drive the truck around a bit, park, & roll the down wind windows down. Have had enough pop-up blinds lift into the heavens when a front blasts through to not even bother with them anymore. Try a feeder or food plot outside your privy. My granny keeps a shotgun in her bathroom and consistently does better than everybody else. Mow the trails you use. Fresh cut grass brings out hesitant deer.

[@newffee]

Well you tried and went hunting for the thrill of it so I would say that is a win. Outdoors in nature nothing better than that game or no game. I hunted all day yesterday. saw 8 Black Tail does, 19 Elk. I hunted all day today. Saw 3 Black Tail does, 9 Elk and a Grouse. Almost ran over the Grouse. Thought it was a Piece of wood on the road lOl . No Bucks. Only one weekend left for me then the season is done. Better luck Next time Heidi !

[@johnpaul2285]

That was cool Good luck and thank you Heidi Keep Faith and stay safe

[@liberty5565]

Trying to get footage and hunt by yourself adds extra difficulty. Don't worry about the camera. Tip from experience, get your ground blind up before season, deer notice that new thing, also dress the blind in branches, get a comfy seat and wear black. Absolutely love your property. Miss Franky, first beach cat I've ever seen. Good luck. 🍺

[@arkietreasurehawgs]

Blood, sweat & tears makes it all worthwhile when it comes to fruition with a harvest, whenever it may be. Thanks for sharing; really enjoying the beautiful footage you're capturing!

[@RJBehrens1]

That was great! Hey... not sure if it's the same but, I have a portable ice fishing pop up like that and it's easiest to set up if you lay it out, stand on a corner and pop the top part out first and then do the sides. Good luck!!!!

[@bubbagail7450]

Great vid girl. That was cool watching that doe stomp her front hooves sending out a little warning of danger. Her sensing you or something was near but not knowing where trying to get some kind of response of movement. With that many does around old mr. buck ain't to far away. Take care.

[@findingthetrackway4875]

I've been bow hunting long before bow hunting was ever cool. The single greatest piece of advice I can give is to discover the Drury Brothers and really take in what they have to say. After the October Lull, sleeping in and hunting the mid-day can be magical. Good luck & great video.

[@bobgiles2971]

Awesome video definitely some great footage 👍. The bucks will definitely be there with the doe's in the area. Be safe good luck hunting. Will be waiting for your next video.

[@fredsalay720]

Love your hat first off!! I used those same scent bombs over 20 years ago. Use rubber gloves when setting them out. That way when you scratch your nose you won't rub scent on yourself!! Saw you fumble with your gloves on trying to pull out the wick,/ loop hook. And yes put your bombs out around you 15 yards in all directions. Then your covered. I honestly don't use anything anymore . Just hope wide is good,!! Nice video, really enjoyed it!! Don't be afraid to brush in your blind.

[@duanehenicke6602]

Don't know what your laws and regulations are there. But taking a doe is good practice before taking a big buck. Meat for the freezer and a good way to keep the herd in check. As for the pop up. Keep the windows closed as much as possible. Just need enough to shoot through. Wear black and sit far back from the window. Good little bow blind. If rifle hunting, make sure the barrel is outside the window before pulling trigger.

[@nathanmiller8355]

Hi Heidi your pizza you shown Looked really delicious.its always Joy seeing your videos no matter If you hadn't caught your 1st deer. We the 🐺 Pact always ❤️you Take care Heidi

[@bigdaddy4569]

Ahhhh the scent canisters were my favorite 👍🏻 always better odds in a stand but place the canisters where u plan to shoot and not near you. My son just took 2 nice bucks in the last few weeks. It's time for me to start hunting again , nothing like the peace of the woods. Best of luck in your adventures, Enjoy them 👍🏻

Nice video… You will definitely have bucks around with that nice herd of does moving threw…. That one doe new something was up when she was stomping but seemed to not figure it out but I think she caught your wind …….Glad your going to keep making videos…..

[@comiketiger]

Your doing fine. When bow hunting you have to stay consistent. Many days you may not see a thing or they wont be close enough. ☺ just be patient. If setting a scrape do it within range away from you so your not in the focus area. Not only the site of you but your scent as well. Great sign you have does coming by. Bucks are too I'm sure. But dont put pressure on yourself. Enjoy the education you get every day your out there. Not only about deer but other creatures as well. Oh, they pick up movement easily. Even small movements. Your doing a great job! God bless all here.

[@jusnuts1443]

I'm guessing that you can't shoot does in your area. Otherwise, you'd be filling the freezer with all that goodness. Keep the faith! God helps those who help themselves. I just got finished today processing a buck and a fat doe that I shot last week. Gave a backstrap and shoulder to my big brother. Gave a shoulder and ham to a coworker who asked me beforehand for some meat. I got a pint of homemade salsa and a pint of three berry jam in that deal! Can I hear an "AMEN"? The bulk of all those deer will got to my Mom & Dad-in law. I still have meat from last season and a few packs from 2019! With beef prices today, we all have sticker shock! Venison is a healthier and more delicious alternative.

You are awesome you are the most beautiful Hunter I ever I have seen be safe and careful thank you for the video

[@GritsnGravy61]

I’ve tried that bleet can it doesn’t work in my opinion but a good grunt call works. Hit once and wait 15-20 minutes if there’s a buck around he will investigate. Also with your tower blind you should burn the brush left and right of the mowed trail next spring, then cut in to more paths in at angle. More shooting lane and prescription burns are great for habitat. Finally if you want meat you shoot does too!

[@ryanfirst9761]

At least you saw does. I’ve been skunked so bad this season since I took my first of the season. I need 5 for the freezer overall, and I’ve got one with a month left.

[@jakelowry2003]

Get out before dark and don’t leave until daybreak. Set your doe estrus out about 25 to 35 yards from you against the wind.. warm it up with hand warmers. Start with that

[@chriskayakq-ster7264]

I just watched your video and enjoyed seeing you doing your thing! Outdoors is the way to go for sure! If i was a Buck i would definitely be around those does so you will definitely get your opportunities to shoot ! Nice Blind too btw very cool.

[@francisconti9085]

Moments like @ 8:18 family grooming, sweet to enjoy seeing their lives..then you got the stink eye & stomp! I'm lucky to walk ALONGSIDE wild whitetail in my area, so cool to be 3 feet from one of my buddies when other deer show up, or there is a percieved threat.. we all stop, look around & assess each other's responses, the fawns or ones unseen by the threat will actually be relaxed, not @ tense ready..so cool to be in the MIDDLE learning how they individually communicate, respond, "decoy", bolt & return to reassess.. I sat w/my deer Zoe & her twin fawns last nite, fell asleep, the little buck was curled up sleeping 5 feet away, swung an ear & cracked an eye open, such a moment of peace as Zoe was watching over us..bedded 10 feet away..when I got up to leave, little guy popped his head up for a moment, fluffy ears&cheeks in the cold.. 🥰 Getting to EXPERIENCE nature from the "other side" and from IT'S perspective ..such a valuable experience, makes hunting the "tourists" (harvest deer vs buddies) so much calmer, easier to "read along rather than react"😁👍 Hope you get a nice buck, in the rut they get everybody on 4 hooves riled up!
