My 2020 Deer

Rut week this year was definitely different, but no surprise right, it's 2020! It was one of the hottest hunt weeks ever with temperatures steady in the mid 80's all day and low's only hitting mid 60's! Regardless, doe's went into hiding but we were able to pick off three nice bucks that were on the move looking for the girls. Time to start preparing for next year!
God Bless!

Man alive. Congrats on that Toad! What a deer. Finally got some cold weather down here in Texas headed out to my stand in a few.

[@TheHandyHunter]

Good luck brother! Sounds like everyone has been dealing with a warm hunting season! Let us know if you put one down! Keep in touch!

What's going on HH? I hope all is well with you and the family, this is just a friendly reminder that we are having withdrawals not seeing any of your DIY's and like to see that update on that lithium battery pack. Also your vehicle warranty might be ending soon also 🤪🤣 be safe and hope to hear from you soon.

[@TheHandyHunter]

Hey brother! Thanks for the message. The family is great and we’ve all been crazy busy with life. I haven’t been back to the farm in a while and my “to do” list is piling up on things I need to build. Hope to get back to some action real soon. Take care and thanks for checking in!

[@shin11700]

Awesome deer! Also, loved the video on the battery upgrade. Hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas.

[@TheHandyHunter]

You too brother! God bless and thanks for checking in! Merry Christmas!

Hey Steve, this is your neighbor from trinity, Yes sir, the weather has been warm!! We shot a couple of small 6 pts last Monday when that front came thru, but for the most part it was pretty slow. I am thinking about huntin this week, looks like some cold weather is coming!! Happy holidays!! BGM

[@TheHandyHunter]

Hey brother! Where ya been? Glad you got a couple! Weird season for sure. Hope you get a monster...you still got time. Good luck and keep in touch!

Congrats on a great buck!! 👍

Thank you!!

[@jeremysilcox9362]

Congrats man on a great season so far. I have not gotten to hunt as much as I would like to this year.

[@TheHandyHunter]

Thank you! It was a very different year as the weather pattern was much warmer than usual and the deer weren’t moving as much. We were still able to get 3 decent bucks but that is all we really saw. Good luck and keep in touch!

[@F.H.H.B]

1st comment. It has not been a normal rut for us here in western Oklahoma either. Congrats man!

[@TheHandyHunter]

Thank you brother! We had a hot year about 3 years ago too. I definitely like the colder years as it seems to get things moving. Good luck!

[@hmooblomlomzemchannel3531]

Nice your video brother 😁👍💯

[@mitchellguthrie1156]

Man I'm jealous. Buddy and I went to the ranch Thanksgiving week for our annual hunt and one of us brought a special 2020 gift of corona ... and sadly not the liquid kind. So hunt got canceled. Going to have to try again in December.

[@TheHandyHunter]

Awh man, so sorry to hear that! Corona has messed up a lot of good things this year. I wish you much success on your next try!!! Keep me updated!

Hard work and a little luck!!! Thanks for watching!!

Awesome ,congrats.What is the different seeds in that beautiful plot.

[@TheHandyHunter]

It’s a mix of Tractor Supply Oats, Arrowleaf Clover, Durana Clover, Patriot Clover, a few cowpeas and trophy radish. We got good rain after planting this year so everything popped.

[@ronmacdougall9612]

@@TheHandyHunter awesome buck and awesome plot

[@kalonjohnson28]

Awesome. Can you do a review on your stand?

[@TheHandyHunter]

I’ll try to pull something together next time Im at the farm. I have a couple videos on building a new cab for my other tower if you want to look those up. That cab allows for bow hunting and better weather protection. Hope that helps.

[@jacksprat7087]

I’m putting this here so you might see it. But, linear voltage regulators are very inefficient. With 12v in and 6v out they lose half the power. That’s cause amps in = amps out. V x amps = watts. Buy a few of these cheap Buck Converters on eBay. Like $1 each. They only lose about 10% of power. Get one with variable voltage input (say 4v to 24v). Set the output to desired voltage. These decrease the voltage and increase the amps. Get one rated at 2 amps. On linear regulators say the solar panel output is 17 volts and the output voltage is 6v. 6/17 = 35% efficiency. Your losing 65% of your power.

[@TheHandyHunter]

Great info Jack! Appreciate you taking time to explain. Keep up the good work.

@HH. How many acres you hunting in GA? Slow rut here in FL outside Tallahassee

[@abelmartinez4293]

Hey Mat, Do you think the size of the racks on you deer is contributed to the forge you provided them, and if so about how long do you think after you started planting food plot did you see a diferente on the quality of deer you had in your property? Thanks

[@TheHandyHunter]

A lot goes into the size of their racks. Quality forage plays a big part and also genetics. Our deer prefer quality plots over corn feeders etc, but we do both. We also plant summer and fall plots so they have food year round and keeps them in the area. A good quality deer management program will take a couple years to start seeing results. That is, if you can keep your neighbors from shooting them too early! Good luck!!

[@robertflanders7540]

[@TheHandyHunter]

Thank you! KZbin glady threw your comment in the spam file because you mentioned Rumble. Had I not looked I’d have never seen it. I’ve been seriously considering Rumble but just not sure many hunters are over there yet? I hate these communists at KZbin. I deleted Twitter, Fox and all cable. Are you finding outdoor stuff on Rumble?
