After 40 years of hunting i truly believe in the solunar good bad and great times to hunt and i think yall should do a podcast in regards to hunting solunar calendar times and dates ect.

[@jeremygregory7178]

This is a good listen and a change up of all the regurgitated infalt stuff. I run a lot of trail cams and it is unbelievable how bucks just show back up at a spot. I think they just know when that doe group is cycling.

[@christophertowsley8563]

Iv been a date hunter the past two years and will never go back! Changed my entire life. Grandpa sat on a certain tree and certain time of the year ever year and crack a big one and I never could figure it out till now lol

[@Crayz919]

Here in central north Carolina in the flat lands , Alot mature bucks make these loops under cover of darkness and they will bed up just off doe bedding in daylight and want move until after dark 30 while visiting these doe groups farms and properties along his loop journey and if u can pin point where u think he is , u will have to influence the buck to move in daylight like by pretending to be another buck making scrapes ,grunting & sound realistic as possible and i like to use code blue because its drawn out several nocturnal bucks to a mock vine scrape for me several times and has got several bucks loopy in the head and running around trying to locate this mysterious doe in heat ! Try code blue in mock scrape and thank me later !

[@jasonweatherford5710]

First off, you guys are the best on the tube. Sometimes i think some of your guest over complicate deer hunting in general. I play wind & weather, thats it. I hunt the same stand all season, every year. I take the oldest deer every year.

[@gheft762]

This is awesome, iv listened to this podcast 4 or 5 times and certain parts of it more than that, iv seen the same thing he has for a few years now, and he opened my eyes to some things but there are more that wernt mentioned

[@BrookerJr]

I was able to do something similar to this in '22. I threw out a camera over a tight creek crossing tore up with scrapes and rubs in the mountains. It was nearly unhuntable, so I backed up a ridge where I guessed he was coming from based on the trail cam video and found another scrape and some older rubs. Last year, '23, I sat a trail paralleling the ridge top just under that scrape and passed on three bucks in two hours, same dates as the year before, but he didn't show. The next time I hunted that area was a month later and I took a younger cat out there to get his first buck and I figured he would shoot something I passed on and he almost got run over by the big boy at 10:30am. He shot him and the buck ran over the ridge top passed where I was sitting and I got to watch him take his last breathes. It was a really cool ordeal, and I keyed in on that area based on dates and it did not disappoint.

[@thesouthernoutdoorsmen]

Hopefully you can do it again this season!

[@BrookerJr]

@thesouthernoutdoorsmen we'll see, I'm not actually a big fan of cameras. I like them if I find really big or unique sign and I want to see who the culprit is but I choose MRS as my go-to. If I feel I'm late on a spot I just try and pay attention to that area the next season but get in there earlier. It seems to pay off more when you are hunting places year after year. Prior to that I've lived in some different places and every hunt was my first hunt at any particular spot so I was playing a lot of cat and mouse and showing up late to sign that was being laid down.

[@optimuscrime608]

[@stokeandspoke1177]

2nd year hunting, archery. I got some cameras out at an area with several long draws with clear trails running on the spines of the ridges and on the bottoms of the draws. put some cameras out and I got 1 buck that frequents the area, but got a trail that through one week I had 6 or 7 Giants walk through but haven't seen em back since. Trying to figure these guys out! I spooked one at 7ish am in the area of a scrape and it's a big meeting point of trails. 14:19 sounds like what this guy has been saying

[@stokeandspoke1177]

But all of my buck pictures are at sunset or in the middle of the night random hours...

[@austinbishop489]

I watch him on KZbin a lot. He’s the first person I’ve heard have the same results as me I’ve kept track of dates for 6 years now once I realized based on cams that the bucks was showin up on certain days. An the following year have the same buck in the same spot on the same day within a few hours of each other.

That is awesome to hear!

I found a good looking place way back off the “path” during Turkey season. I wasn’t too excited when I found there is a hiking trail right through it but I was second guessing giving up on it and now I am gonna go back and look a little harder.

[@PrairieThunder]

Those hiking trails don’t mess with the deer as much as you think… spend some time in there

[@thehuntingcamp2363]

Looking forward to trying this out. I'd definitely like to see this with historical data for sure. I might be getting a lease to some private where I can run cameras this year. So would be worth a try. Just hunt over food this year and leave everything else with cams.

[@natemorgan9272]

This is exactly what I do every year. From November 4th thru November 12th I have a ton of different bucks on the North side of my farm. Then from the 13th to the 18th I hunt the South side, because it's like the migrate to that area. Then anything after that they are in the 40 acre thicket that is a bear to navigate through and hunt. Every year same dates the same general buck activity. Good luck to everyone this year.

[@thummgti]

All this is great information. I hunt western washington blacktail, and it's way different than what you're describing

[@FishingLifeTV225]

100% agree with this guy. Have a 1 mile stretch on Mississippi that is exactly what he is describing. We don’t always kill a booner but we always see solid 130 inch bucks on public

[@TheCurtMarshall]

Sounds exactly like where we hunt as well. It’d be wild if it was the same piece.

[@aaronkrumenacker3241]

As I’m watching this, I’m looking back at one of my biggest bucks and the time he daylighted two years ago. it is two days after he daylighted two years ago .Pretty sure he is still alive and I am going to go sit this weekend and hope that he might still be in the area. I will keep you posted.

[@thesouthernoutdoorsmen]

[@jordanfournier1719]

Really enjoyed this podcast. I think this happens better with more deer per square mile. Here in NH I’ve seen big deer on the same 3-4 day period, but it doesn’t happen in the same spots year after year. I’ve had cameras on a post rub and got two huge deer. The next few years nothing. We have 1-4 deer per square mile where I live. I’m sure you can probably find some spots. Just pretty hard to find here I believe.

[@shin11700]

Awesome interview! Why does Daniel wait for a full buck loop to put out cameras. Also, once you have the loop, can you put a camera anywhere on the loop? How does he select where the camera will go?

[@deerhuntingwithrickthepeas7870]

No rhyme of reason to any of my data or kills. But now I will go back to the bucks recorded to trailcam and mark the dates.

[@matthewdefee171]

I completely agree with this tactic and have been doing this in my primary public state for the last three years. The only issue I have with his approach is 'never putting cameras back in the same spot no matter how many big deer show up'. From a data perspective that just doesn't make any sense. One year is the smallest sample size possible - 1. Why not put cameras back in the same spots you found bucks in 3-4 years in a row? You'll have a much better idea on time frame and validate the consistency. That's just a no-brainer from a scientific approach. More data = more reliable intell. Tighten up your activity windows by removing the outliers 🍻

[@ronnieharper514]

What's with the bleep at 19:20? It didn't sound like he named a location.

[@DivotsLawnCareKinsman]

Hunting over “$&$$&@“ my guess is bait aka corn for some reason they wanted that out

[@ericjenkins441]

So would this work on food plots as well our is this only a good strategy for rubs and scaps

[@thesouthernoutdoorsmen]

You could use annual data of bucks using food plots during the rut to check for doe’s.

[@marc-antoineallard9317]

Beginner bowhunter here. You have no idea how that podcast helped me seeing the big picture of the way deers use my parcel. Went scouting today and found that loop you're talking about here. Or a part of it at least. Before i was seeing the signs but could understand why it was there. That loop makes so much sense and wind start to make less sense haha

[@thesouthernoutdoorsmen]

Glad you are getting out there scouting and learning too!

[@codyBennett-p4r]

I feel ya on the wind the wind at one of my spots can be blowing straight where the deer come from and they still come out

[@chasingadrenalineoutdoors]

Also I don’t know if anyone else has noticed this but the bucks will know when the doe is there and still alive because he will sent check bedding areas and fields before he does his fall shift I don’t think it’s necessary for the does but there is social interaction that happens. he does a fall range loop and the buck I hunted for 5 years would go over his entire fall habitat and cut threw bedding areas and walk the fields right before he shed velvet usually mid August we would get pictures of him on one end where occasionally we would see him with a doe and then 4 or 5 hours later he would be on the complete other side where we would get the most rut photos of him. And then 3-4 hours later he would be all the way on the far edge of his fall range or what we thought was his fall range and he would cover that and do a great big loop over the course of 2-3 days almost like he was pre scouting his fall range I wonder if they see what the habitat is like in the fall range before they transition. I’ve seen this with several mature bucks now. But it was most noticeable with the buck I hunted. I nicknamed him trashy because he had 3 antlers and always had branches and stuff wedged inbetween the 2

[@thesouthernoutdoorsmen]

That's super interesting! We appreciate you sharing this information and insight!

[@Rick850angler]

Yes Sir!! Been waiting on this one!

[@thesouthernoutdoorsmen]

[@chasingadrenalineoutdoors]

I’ll elaborate on my findings 32:32 I hunted an absolute giant on public for 5 years the first 2 years it never clicked why he was doing what he was doing. Late October every season he showed up between the 24th-29th in daylight mid day 11am-2pm. The scrapes in the area didn’t open up until he opened them and then buck after buck after buck would work those scrapes and he would hit them once a month later he would make another round in the same spot and open the same scrape again but it would be close to end of legal shooting light or right after legal light. The 5th year I had a game plan to kill him (last year) he must have passed away. He never showed up not one time (I run 24 cameras on 2300 acres 9 of those are cell cams the rest are sd card on video and those are in areas I don’t touch until I know specifically when bucks show up) like stated in the video. He showed up on camera every year within a 3-4 day window October 24-27th and about 150 yards away he would show up October 28th-30th about a mile as the crow flies. He would show up October 27-30th in daylight 11am-2pm every year I had him patterned to the point I knew exactly when to go in. 2 years ago I was sitting on stand and November 8th and 11th he showed up mid day following a hot doe in the spot I knew was around his core. Ever since then I’ve been following several specific deer and the definitely give themselves up usually another thing to pay attention to he might be traveling the creek bottom 20 or 30 yards off your camera and you might not be getting photos of him but he’s in there. I’ve also found depending on the time of day if it’s a big ravine. They will travel the upper 1/3 and scent check the scrape and area and walk right past it on specific date ranges to they definitely know time frames on does I watched a giant get on a doe every year for 3 years and it never dawned on me until I’ve put all these pieces together. This podcast had good info!! It seems like once they hit 3.5-4.5 that’s when they become pattern able and shrink the circle but once they are 4.5-5.5 you can almost always count on it if you’ve seen them for a year or 2 on specific areas

[@FrankDog-d5r]

The time frame is the rut. I watch my hunting ground year around, cause it's in my home property. It's nice ideas, but doesn't work exactly like Daniel is thinking. Deer are not that simple, they are very aware of their 'family' and what's around them. They change patterns all the time, and if they find that camera, forget it.

[@sethmatherne7012]

Lol, you better have some snake boots on for those rattlers and cotton mouths if you are scouting in August

[@charliebailey1369]

What kind of cameras do you guys run to keep out and last all season?

[@shakyleg5929]

I think part of it is not using feed. If you use feed you'll attract a bunch of deer, mainly does, and they'll eat up that pile and still come by often after the pile is gone. That is what eats up the battery life because the camera is taking so many pictures

I believe in this theory timing and use of cameras and does coming into estrus same days every year… what if does are hunted and killed in the area? Do more then one doe come into estrus in same area?? We shoot does later in the season but what if you end up killing the doe that your particular buck comes in the area to look for the following year? Seems to me ya probably can’t shoot the does at all to utilize this tactic.
