Public LandsWhitetail 48 Hour SCOUT & HUNT

I'm spending 48 hours in the woods to scout and hunt some public lands whitetail deer with an archery tag. Taking the camper, and some saddle hunting gear, I'm hiking the woods looking for sign and coming back to cook and refuel at my mobile hunting base.

Pro tip to help with your back in the saddle. Get the MVP from tetherd. Also when you set up your sticks set them up about 15 degrees off of your platform. It will prevent the sketchy part of coming down. Much more natural

[@josemonge6622]

That's amazing you could hike out six miles and then be prepared to hike back six miles with a deer on your back.

[@mattphillips6578]

Finally a little real hunting that most of us do every year. Not a lease w a bunch of feeders, corn and stands set up for years. U have actually started really hunting!!

[@neal8199]

Don’t crap on the way other people hunt.

[@jerryf581]

I've never used a saddle, but I've used sticks and lock-on's for years. I never put the stand directly over the sticks. I'd put it off to one side or the other. Gravity still works, no need to test it!

[@ksoutdoorsports]

We do that solo scout/hunt new ground very similarly. Exploring new ground is an absolute ball!

[@yojimbo9]

fully agree, hunting and fishing is relaxing and if you get to fill the freezer its a bonus

[@a.perkins89]

I still would love to see you and Mike hunt together again! You both make the best hunting videos!

[@tylersuchy672]

when you transfer to and from the platform, set your tether at belly button height and use that to pull on to get down and up. I do that all the time as well as loosening my lineman for easier movement. it ensures also that if you fall youre tied into that tether when the lineman isnt secure. I learned this trick from an oldtime saddle hunter. Be safe out there and goodluck.

[@FishingwithDavo]

I’ve been thinking about making some public land hunting videos as well. It’s definitely a challenge, but so much fun scouting out new locations and exploring. Great video as usual! 👍🏻

[@lifeoutdoors2day357]

Hunting the why I've been doing for 30 years, all public land. It's different, very challenging. It cool to watch you accept this new challenge.

[@jeffscaparra6985]

If you put the platform off center from the sticks it is a little easier to get up and down. Good video I want to try Texas public land as well. My friends think I am crazy.

[@tylersuchy672]

Raised on public land hunting started saddle hunting 5 years ago now. perfect for getting in close to them. Just got my first deer with a longbow on public because of the saddle.

[@Bryan-vz4sz]

The acorns look like white oak. If there are still leaves on the trees look for rounded lobes vs sharp/pointy lobes. Rounded are white oak

[@Michael_P23]

Always put your stand/platform slightly to the left or right of your climbing sticks so its easier to step up or step down! I recently learned this the hard way over the last year or so lmao. 28:42

[@davidlaunderville4416]

White oak leafs have rounded tips like white man bullets and red oak have pointy tips like Indian arrows.

[@EoffZooStaff]

I really enjoy all your videos! Very glad to see you take the camper. I am not sure how safe public land camping with just your hammock set up would be. besides after a 12 mile walk you deserve a mattress to sleep on. Keep up the videos!!

[@Veemack21]

Public land hunting of any sort is so hard! Competition against other hunter or pressed deer. But your right it feels so good being out trying . Hope you get one next time!

[@brucegreen6719]

Lets go gotta love bow season yes sir

[@Sawdustjones]

Check out “one stick(ing)” with the tree saddle, you’ll cut a lot of weight from multiple sticks and platform! I use a hawk helium stick and a platform attachment for the hawk stick (super tight budget), I also find it’s alittle safer repealing from the tree instead of climbing down! Let me know if you look into it!!

[@chasebarrett3801]

Really your not by yourself when your filming. You so good at it. It's like we're there with ya. Thanks for all of your work. Seen your picture on the backgroud wall in the fishing pole isle at Academy. Pretty cool.

[@madtownangler]

I have only gotten my deer on public land except for the two first years I deer hunted when I was in high school on land that we rented from a farmer and he let us hunt there the second weekend of the season...only because we went to church with him.

[@chriswgates7000]

LFG, love your channel. Set the platform off to the side of the sticks, much easier in and out.

[@LawtonOutdoors]

So glad to see you out hunting 🦌 your hunting videos are super relaxing and entertaining.

[@extincthunts]

Need to Collaborate with The Hunting Public ! Would be an awesome video

[@Jmbeckwith48]

this is awesome i want to go and do this so bad

[@jacobhess4547]

Definitely want to see more of this! One tip I have is try moving slower, the pressured deer are more skittish and pick that stuff up quick

[@robertcarter3094]

get you a repel rope and mad rock it is a game changer getting down or put platform to the side of your steps will help

[@williamwhite1997]

That was pretty successful hunt for your first dive into a public land, congratulations. It's a bit more challenging than waiting for the lesser bucks to step out of the way of the target buck inside the feeder corral, ain't it.

[@bricehale6593]

Love it man i was on some public last week and shot a nice buck but he got away was a bad shot then it poured rain 4 days straight afterwards was first hunt of the year first hour in a tree heavy pressure too

[@benlillis266]

I love your videos. I'm new to saddle hunting too I've found that a back band, knee pads, and the predator xl platform I can sit a lot longer in a tree. I've been able to kill a few out of a saddle and now it's the only way I like to hunt.

Nice ending

[@christopher-iy2yd]

I hear you! Just got back from a 3 day public hunting trip. Scouted and hunted hard but the movement just wasn’t there.

[@SuperDannyg2009]

You should try the Laguna Atascosa public bow hunt whitetail and nilgai

[@EatWhatYouCatch]

You gotta put your platform at almost the same height as your last stick and to the side so you can safely get to it.

[@amorton94]

LFG! I would love to see you go after some turkey! From what I hear, chasing Meriam's is very comparable to elk hunting!

[@truenaturestormers2525]

cool

Hey LFG, ypu did a lot better on the saddle this time.👊 That things tough

[@wbarney59]

Thanks rackley

[@mikelawler6100]

It's very refreshing others my age have the same thoughts going through their heads when climbing up and down with a saddle. Great content, can we vote for which rooster gets it? The kids can blame us then.

[@joshuasines6900]

I'm going to say they're probably White Oaks

[@mattwillard]

Come up to Maine for a whitetail hunt!

[@madtownangler]

Should get a cart to haul behind your bike. We use carts to haul all our deer now at least until we get to the wheeler and always on public land where they don't allow motorized vehiclesm

[@bricea9860]

Lets gooookp

[@queenveeshoney360]

Come to our public land in west Texas! Definitely different terrain. Around San Angelo Texas!

[@wulfthornoutdoors]

Im sorry you didn't get to harvest anything this time. Im sure you agree, because you said something very similar, its not always about the harvest just getting out and seeing the country.

[@joshjohnson3352]

Is this east or central Tx public? I've lived in TX for long periods of time and finding public land you can hunt deer on is almost like finding a unicorn. Plenty of wing shooting opportunities but not much public for deer.

[@zpwagler1826]

Next time you’re using your saddle try hanging your platform at a 90 degree angle to you last stick so it’s easier to step down onto

[@usernamehere6061]

Can't get as high if you do that maybe he wanted to get higher since he had no cover in that black oak.

[@TRX691]

Always been told don't touch the scrape or the licking branch you don't want to get ur scent on it now idk how true that is is seems legit tho

[@usernamehere6061]

Its not true at all. People make mock scrapes every year and mature bucks hit them within 24 hrs.

[@JohnJones-nk7yq]

6 miles in & 6 miles out with a deer own your back if true that's impressive.

[@ronaldbryant8457]

Most of that you are in looks like post oak, and they make clusters of acorns like you showed the camera.....live oaks are evergreens with little leaves, and red oaks normally don't have acorns in clusters...white oaks typically have gigantic acorns, like the size of a quarter.

[@wesshannah-hs3cm]

Yes I gave the suggestion for some public land LFG vids!!!

[@Pluto00791]

Where do you go hunting in public land in Texas

[@MAJJJJJJ]

Well

[@christopherwadsworth5435]

I highly suggest not putting your platform directly on top of your sticks. When you get to the top stick put the platform 90 degrees to your sticks if you can

[@usernamehere6061]

Your suggestion is stupid. He wanted to get higher since he had no cover.

[@joehorton01]

You have to plan your climb. Put your platform where your strong side shot is where you expect the deer to come from. After that decision you position your sticks where you climb and transition to your platform from the side. I was scared for your nutsack seeing you go straight down like that.

[@ronin617]

do you usually carry a handgun out there?

[@C.Adams82]

That looks to be white oak acorns.

Blackjack oak maybe, definitely not white oak. You won’t mistake a white oak when you see one! Crack one open and taste them.

[@Lethal1160]

When public land hunting I find you're more likely to be successful if you go to the lesser desirable places for hunters, because the deer have likely not been shot at in those areas vs the favorable trees for hunters. Especially with a saddle. Just like with bass fishing, get in where others won't and they're likely there

[@usernamehere6061]

You can't park a $100,000 tent in those overlooked spots though. This channel isn't about hunting success its about making money and spending it on yippie gadgets.

Offset your steps so they aren’t directly under your platform.

I believe in orange even on leased land while your boots are on the ground. Then when In the tree do what you want

Orange isn't required for archery season, but it does keep the hall monitors quiet.

Why do you post so many hunting\stalk videos when you don’t harvest them 1 or 2 is cool but after so many it gets boring not trying to hate but like to see actual harvesting not just waking and talking or 20 Second clips in a harness talking about I just jumped 2 or it’s a button buck not very entertaining, more harvest less vlog it more so a camping trip not a hunt
