Mountain Bucks and Rut Funnels with Ryan Glitsky (Public Land) - Latitude In Session

On this weeks Episode, we’re traveling to the mountains of central Pennsylvania to rut scout with Ryan Glitsky. Ryan is an accomplished mountain hunter that specializes in boots on the ground scouting to dissect sign, travel corridors, hunter pressure, and ultimately find the kill tree to put him in position on mature mountain bucks.

Thanks for watching! Any suggestions or thoughts we would love to hear from you.

[@mountainwhitetail]

Can’t believe I’m just now watching this. Love it fellas

[@emgraham21]

Great video! Thank you. Always try to listen to Ryan anywhere I can, dude knows his stuff.

[@dorcasave]

These videos are so helpful. Great info. Ty...

[@EW-gv5ov]

This stuff is Gold Jake . 👍🏻

[@whitewood2000]

Finally some big woods Pennsylvania terrain

[@sidogg4113]

Excellent series

[@josephspicer7555]

Glitsky has me ready to run through a brick wall, motivator.

[@KOAOutdoors]

One of the most intense guys I've ever seen ! I'm gonna have watch the 10 times to pick up everything he said ! 😂 Great insight ! Thanks for the time and effort to put this together

[@JimmyGammons]

Glitsky always gets me fired up. The map overlays are essential (even if its not the exact spot.) Really helps. Thanks for the great content!

[@charlesleblanc6638]

Good stuff .. You can apply this kind of spoke wheel concept in all sorts of habitat.

[@kylerutherford4141]

This is great content. I'm enjoying this channel a lot, it's great to finally see someone doing exactly this. Actual boots on the ground scouting, sharing ideas & observations. So glad to see someone addressing steep terrain with big timber & laurel thickets instead of rolling scrub, ag & swamps. Thanks Jake, keep up the good work 👍

[@richnaples2852]

I’m with ya on that!

[@michaelatkinson3033]

Moose is great! He’s got a ton of knowledge.

[@StealthOutdoors]

Well Done gents. Travel hub, not thermal hub sure has me thinking now.

[@brushcreekoutdoors101]

I worked with Ryan 20 years ago, in my foam cutting days haha. Helped him track a public land buck once. I didn't know he was still around. Awesome video man.

[@ronaldols8975]

Nicely done!!

[@SEEKN_SOLITUDE]

Been waiting for this!!! 😮

[@gagebrock17]

Just found your channel, absolutely excited about the flow of information. One thing about it I really enjoy is you take someone who has a knack for a certain method, and they talk about the why's. As a new/beginner Whitetail hunter this is what I'm looking for.

[@blessedvetoutdoors]

Thank you for sharing this, I'm loving the content!

[@leonlawrence6318]

Great content. Not often you hear from someone talking about multiple terrain features coming together, paying attention to the aggressive sign and hunting the consent ration of that sign verses hunting over the scrape. The game changes when you hunt terrain. Keep the content coming!

[@OklahomaLoneWolf]

Never heard him before but love this dude! Much more realistic advice.

[@howiemiller8731]

I really liked the flow of the video, nothing seemed staged. Almost felt like I was right there with yas!

[@branndonbowman]

“Something about a buck in the back of a truck” ain’t that right 👊

[@justinconrad5283]

I hunt central pa also and see very few big rubs. I also focus a lot of attention to scrapes. But never thought of the more aggressive/bigger bucks shearing off smaller trees. Have a real good spot where I get a lot of good bucks on camera and if I didn't have that camera there I'd never guess that those bucks were there

[@richnaples2852]

I think a day in the woods with Dan the beast would be cool to see, I’m enjoying seeing the videos good information.

[@woodsdog7849]

Your stuff is next level and exactly what I look for. I grew up hunting the foothills of the Appalachians way up in WNY close to the PA Border. Everything is opposite from the classic bed high feed low mid west "hill" country scenarios you read about. Here, the deer may bed high and feed high relying on a ridge for bedding and moving "back" along the flat to ag. Getting to these setups can be tough at anytime so wonky terrain features are what I find is the best long term hunting strategy.

[@brob-zy8zi]

Can't tell you how many times I've found small laurel bushes, pines and hemlocks destroyed by bucks here in PA. Those 3 seem to be the favored target when they're looking to destroy a smaller bush. Beech Seem to be the favored target of most scrapes but if they are absent oaks and laurel fill the gap usually. Also, you can't always rely on the bucks using top 1/3 for bedding. If there's a steep drop lower on the ridge with thick cover they'll gladly bed there. Especially if the pressure comes from the top down.

[@nathanworthington7260]

I love your stuff. Amazingly detailed. Would love a video explaining how you all are bowhunting in the valleys in the morning. How are the thermals not pulling up the hills to the deer and blowing out. Obviously works for you all. Would love to know how.

[@richnaples2852]

Maybe do a video on summertime scouting this season on a new property never took foot on it and do a break down how to scout , a suggestion!

[@devinprue7505]

man i love all these in session videos. just came upon them and love em cause you can learn alot! please keep these coming and different terrains and how to setup ect.... how deer would use a hill side trail 3/4 up ect... why a deer would bed with log to its back but also have wind to its face instead of back? how are you guys hunting thick creek bottoms early season where they bed for cooler temps, near water and probably oxbows ect...

[@elmbrookhandyman1526]

How does he identify those historical rubs that are broken off? Any hints or tricks?

[@elmbrookhandyman1526]

When he is talking about setting up based on sign, how much sign does that help push or pull him from making that decision?

[@travisrankin4387]

Hes right. Theres something about a buck in the back of a truck..

[@Im.hurtnLinda]

Anybody know what backpack he is wearing?
