.Locating bucks with Buckman of Northern Wisconsin. Cedar swamps transitional areas

[@robertreed868]

Keep the videos common. It’s so nice to see somebody breaking down the right way to hunt them northern swamp deer I’m from northern Michigan and I sure enjoy learning from your experiences. Thank you.

[@marillahills91]

I was going to say the exact same thing. Northern Michigan as well north west corner

[@Buckman-101]

I'm glad we can all enjoy these experiences together. Yesterday I was scouting an area with a substantial bog that might prove interesting.Ive had good luck around that type of habitat Stay tuned.Thank you for your comment Robert.

[@petecunnien5368]

Just tripped across your channel here and love it really appreciate tips and reminders. A lot of us forget or don’t know but really appreciate all you share with us. Can’t wait for the next one.

[@Buckman-101]

Thanks a lot Pete.Hopefully you will enjoy more of my walks in the woods. Make sure you watch the January 30 minute take,because I will be back there continuing where I left off.

Good stuff. Can't imagine a better place to chase deer than the northwoods and it looks like you're on the same page. Looking forward to your future videos.

[@Buckman-101]

Thank you.I appreciate the comment.Never ending hills to climb.Stay tuned.

I live in northern Michigan and find a fair amount of bedding activity around beaver dams. Especially beaver dams in ponds that are drying up. 🦌

[@Buckman-101]

You're very right about beaver dam habitat.One of my best spots were along a narrow cedar swamp that hugged a beaver pond.You have to check them every year.

[@JohnHavemeier]

Hunted northern wi for many years. Can’t believe the sign you’re seeing. My area seems pretty void of deer with the wolf population the way it is.

[@Buckman-101]

You're exactly right John.Many areas across the northern half of Wisconsin are getting hit pretty hard.Personally I have never changed my scouting habits or even altered them according to the effects of winters,or predators.It is very sad in regards to all the negativity towards the deer population up here.But on the flip side,guys like us are having a ball. You will see more sign in the next video,out in a leather leaf bog. Hey,take care,and thanks for the comment.

[@ericandersen9526]

John...the same thing in the UP of Michigan...The Wolves are killing most of the deer here.

[@jeffspeth2722]

When im scouting after season and find an area with alot of sign, i start looking for stands and illegal baiting. More times than not, thats the reason for all the activity. I try to find where theyre coming from to get to that site.

[@Buckman-101]

Hi Jeff.I would imagine in populated areas you would have to check for baiting . I like this area,mainly because he comes up from the swamp and runs this ridge.Im going back there pretty soon to locate a spot for hunting it.

[@nightingaleofsorrow9349]

Where did you get your wool bibs from? Those look super warm! 👍🦌

[@Buckman-101]

My gosh I had those bibs for years.i believe woolrich.i would have to check.Yes they do stop the wind.Good for ice fishing.

[@karostaro4779]

would you target these areas to find sheds? i’m in northeastern oneida co wisconsin, new to the area and having a hard time locating wintering bucks

[@Buckman-101]

Thank you for the comment.If you had snow to locate where the deer may be feeding may help you a lot.Many deer will move to a different area instinctively every winter,and typically you may find sheds in those areas.I have several areas that the deer do not migrate back until spring begins to kick in.l had an edge of a cedar swamp that was good for sheds.Especially during winters of large snow depths.It kept them congregated.

[@karostaro4779]

@@Buckman-101 not much of a snowpack this spring.. makes the swamps a lot easier to walk but makes locating deer slot more difficult. so far only shed and deadhead i found were in wooded areas closer to town but i think the bigger bucks are hiding in the swamps and bogs

[@Buckman-101]

Keep on it man.Its a great time to be out.

[@ericandersen9526]

Nice talk and video Dale...I keep see ing the same videos Dale

[@Buckman-101]

Sorry Eric about the 3 of the same.There should be the 30 minute and 12 minute,and some shorts. Stay tuned for another one rather soon.

[@ericandersen9526]

Dale .. no problem... super like your videos...I VE HUNTED WHITETAILS for 60 yrs..what you say.. is what I knowfrom yrs following the mature bucks..keep bringing more videos there guy..@@Buckman-101

[@ericandersen9526]

IM in northern Michigan...same territory you show in your videos.

[@ericandersen9526]

unreal easy winter up here Dale..

[@ericandersen9526]

Also nice to see a older deer hunter talking about deer hunting from our North woods.. at 72 .. Ive killed 85 bucks..the early days we hunted..it was all small bucks..it was easy shooting in those days

How much ammonia and wate?

[@Buckman-101]

I usually make up a half of a milk jug,so it is used up within reason. I simply use a cup of ammonia,and and several squirts of doe urine.Feel free to add anything else,if you wish.Then I fill the rest with water. I am always experimenting with the big bucks.I love getting in their heads. Thank you for commenting.
