Late October Hunting Strategy w/ Jeff Sturgis & Jen Buchner | HUNTR Podcast

In this episode of HUNTR Podcast, we bring on our good friends Jeff Sturgis and Jen Buchner to talk October whitetails. Jeff has such a passion for whitetail deer hunting and specializes in habitat design. All the work we do in the spring and summer, whether that be planting food plots, creating cover, or creating buck bedding areas, is all for this time of year. The habitat we've created is now finally being used, trying to understand how these mature animals survive day-to-day. Enjoy this episode of HUNTR Podcast as we sit down with Jeff & Jen and talk late October hunting strategies!

Jeff Sturgis, just watching & learning from his KZbin channel will result in more big bucks killed than EHD! Seriously, authentic guy & his food plot seed is better than anything out there.

Day 478 of asking for Roger Raglin and Dr. Grant Woods

[@HUNTRPOD]

We see you. We'll work on em!

[@MattJ25]

Grant Woods relates to nothing north of like Kentucky, never seen a guy love burning so much to have a field of natural browse and wildflowers come up just to watch them die off by October and leave you nothing

[@kalmond1]

@@MattJ25 you have apparently not watched enough of his content to come to such a conclusion. I can't relate to most of the people on this show like Ben Rising or the Drury brothers to where I hunt in NC but I still enjoy their perspective and camaraderie we still share.

[@johndyer9232]

@@MattJ25. Funny they did a video this year on no-till food plots they consulted on in New England. You might watch more GrowingDeer videos before you make such unfounded comments. The purpose of the controlled burns is to restore the native browse in its appropriate season. The native growth may never be hunted over. It’s for the overall health of the land and the wildlife.

[@FarmallFanatic]

Roger Raglin...nice guy, but tells guys it's ok to hunt the wrong wind

[@SilverTreasures]

I’m hunting public land in Roscommon Michigan, saw a bull elk on my trail camera. Never seen an elk before been hunting there 15 years.

[@Atinirrr]

Gonna watch tomorrow but commenting today gonna make a great listen while at work

[@JimBowSlice]

There has been alot of people that say that Milo Hansen's world record typical 214 was only 3 years old. I d k how accurate that is but I will say the Hanson buck has no mass for a Canadian buck

[@mitchellbiggs5803]

After watching almost all of these guys' podcasts, it seems like these two guys are split down the middle. One guy is genuine, truthful, and actually cares about quality public land hunting and increasing access while decreasing hunter numbers from certain areas. The other... is basically two-faced for the sake of the podcast fame. He cares more about buying private land, baiting, and public land doesn't show up in his interests at all. Everyone knows who is who 👌

[@rubenroyer9488]

You guys absolutely must make it to your Illinois property next week with this major cold front rolling in through the week. As for you being discouraged about not seeing giants on camera, I certainly wouldn’t let that bother me. If you have does on your property I can assure you local giants WILL visit your property. Good luck!

[@HUNTRPOD]

We'll be there!

[@jimmysingleton9417]

New drinking game. Everytime Jeremy says mmhmm while listening to someone talk take a drink. I bet you'll end up hammered. Great podcast as always! Try and get Don Higgins. He just killed another giant and has some apposing view points to Jeff. They are both great and show that you can kill bucks many ways

[@HUNTRPOD]

Hahah probably

[@noaht215]

22:00 podcast actually starts. Unless you’d like to cringe for nearly 20 mins straight.

[@rorynelson7548]

I love when you guys read my comments. Even when I'm angry about non residents coming to south dakota

[@HUNTRPOD]

Haha

[@mattkingsley3556]

You guys should have Jeff, Higgins, Dr. Woods, and Bowmar do a property design and have each of them on at different times to talk about what and why. That would be awesome because they all look at it so differently but also the same.

[@HUNTRPOD]

That would be very cool

[@stevie9361]

My dad had a pods shaped walk in cooler for craycrawfish. We put it together in like 2 hours

[@toddkasubowski8490]

Great People!!!!

Jeff not only robs his followers ,he robbed the cradle as well.😂🤣😂

It looks like he knocked this young chick up about a month after his wife's last IG post with him. What a great dude.

[@scottellis8964]

@@mikechavezjr9533 yeah absolutely. He’s a crook and I wish people would research him before putting trust in him. He believes he’s the only and best whitetail manager in country !

[@MattJ25]

Yeah I don’t know what all went down there but I’ve read some comments on various platforms about that

[@gameofantlers8833]

His food plot had 5 does 7 bucks neighbors food plot had 35 does and 2 bucks dudes got magical powers I hope he charges people accordingly

[@normyoder2622]

Thanks for a great podcast. Jeff's such a wealth of knowledge . Heh guys he also would be a great guest on your i bought a farm segments

[@tylercagle1486]

Dr. Grant Woods!! For sure!

[@TWHunt]

Been listening to the podcast for a while now and finally watched a video. These dudes look nothing like I expected from their voices....lol. Also what's the history on how these guys make a living? They are definitely killing it financially buying up properties in this market! Nice work guys! How about a podcast on your financial strategy?

[@HUNTRPOD]

Lol I don’t know about killing it financially just investing in things we can control. We do try to generate multiple revenue streams

[@TWHunt]

@@HUNTRPOD dude you guys have multiple farms across the Midwest, you may be humble but you’re killing it financially…. Respect to you. Give us an episode on how you got to where you are financially, I’d learn more practical uses from that than I could from Higgins or Sturgis. Unless you have a secret trust fund haha.

[@MattJ25]

Had to watch this one late because I got a buck on Tuesday evening, way too warm, but this killer evening stand had the right wind and that was the last day for at least a week where the wind would be right and this was only the second time I sat there after a particular buck, patients and being vocal with a grunt tube twice in a 3 hours sit was key, too much detail to explain but I love anytime Jeff is on, after all he is Habitat Jesus

[@HUNTRPOD]

Love it dude! Congrats

[@ProDoc18]

any books that you guys recommend? All of y’all have so much knowledge, absolutely love it boys keep it coming

[@HUNTRPOD]

Depending on where you hunt I really love Mapping Trophy Bucks

[@ProDoc18]

@@HUNTRPOD I’m from Texas, and I’ve never hunted before, I’ve shot guns here and there throughout my life but I’ve never had the opportunity to go hunting. I’ve always been interested but it’s quite hard to hunt when you don’t have people around you growing up that don’t do it. And thank you for the response I’ll definitely check that one out!

[@jhoffman81]

"Somebodies poisoned the water hole" I just quarter everything and put it in a cooler, drop it all down in a garbage bag with ice on the bottom and then pour ice on top. Open the drain. You can keep meat cold for days.

Michigan had some ehd and spot in southern Illinois too.

[@HUNTRPOD]

Ugh hate to hear that

[@unstoppablefishing7181]

You guys would get more followers and likes if you guys stick to the point and not get so carried away from the main topic. All the other extra stuff isn't doing much good if it takes you awhile to come back and talk about the main topic.

[@gameofantlers8833]

Theres some pathalogical bs artists out there in zombie world learn to spot em

[@chrisgiller2050]

I like Jeff and I like a man from illions how dose the same job as Jeff I repect both guys I hate hearing one guy talking shit about the other .

[@perryrusso3764]

I’m from Michigan and Jeff is the real deal. Unfortunately there’s more jealousy than we need in our ranks. I could name some names here but the infighting about being the greatest Michigan deer hunter started during Rompolas days serving on Commemorative Bucks of Michigan.I will say Jeff has never been jealous of anyone, but those of you suing other hunters over strategy, and those who verbally jab at those who harvest mature bucks need to shut-up. During my tenor with QDMA I witnessed the jealousy factor x 10, I stopped publishing my harvests because of the jealousy factor within its ranks and those individuals in Michigan opposed to APR’s. The truth is Jeff is a great example to follow and represents the hunting community better than the vast majority of big name hunters. Hate to reiterate this point but Jeff’s a great example of sharing his knowledge and helping hunters become better deer hunters…again Jeff is the real deal…the rest not so much…🎯🦌🦌👍
