I don’t think water is going to help you when you’re hunting In a Mississippi swamp surrounded by nothing but water dawg

100% agree. I was just at tractor supply and bought a waterhole for a spot im gonna hunt this year and came home 5 min ago and sat down on lazy boy and this is first video I watched

Where the hell y’all hunting at lol?

Water should be used on a case-by-case basis, in my opinion. Our 220 acre sits low, so during the hunting season, every little low spot in the woods is wet, making an installed water hole not value-add.

Use water as bait. I thought you guys were Against baiting. 😆

All the so called big buck hunters. The fact that you use the cams is exactly why it’s not hunting anymore, instead of hunting , start stalking deer from the comfort of your bedroom.

Hunt like we used to have to, do your work scouting the timbers and know where your scrapes , rubs, and bedding areas are. Quit crying. Listen if you can’t hunt cause of no camera, then can you screw , without your mommy?

If your hunting hardwoods your good either way, but when you have brush trees like buckthorn and gotta be creative in setups, not gonna happen with a saddle, I’m a bed hunter I can’t hunt for trees I gotta be in THE tree or brush tree, a tree stand won’t let me down. A saddle is gonna force me to hunt back from that bed when I gotta be in the spot I gotta be in.

Lets bring back the flannel and blue jeans hunting era back. Many of today today shop for camo like women shop for shoes but of course we need to look pretty for the woods. What are we doing?

This definitely stirred the pot! Lol

This dudes logic on poaching is so idiotic, people really follow other people with ideologies like this?

Regardless of it being poached or whatever that deer existed in the wild and is truly remarkable animal and you never know what is lurking in the woods and is why we hunt at a chance to see such a deer of this magnitude

Saddle for sure man. Me vs you treestand vs saddle.........

I'm like Jeff went to 300 Gallon tanks ,have several 110 gallon tanks less than $100 at TSC and I don't sink them in the ground, has worked great the last 5 years.

You need an acronym (The triple C's) with the frequency of them in your conversations.

I would still like to watch the outdoor channel on tv if it wasn’t so expensive to have

Ha ha ha what a joke

Saddles you keep the tree between you and the deer, that’s the upside I’ve seen with them, you are much more hidden

saddle hunting potentially costed me a good buck once .i knew better though. i knew i should had took a loc on .he was suppose to come from ovet here but guess what he did he came from over there were i rarely had deer come from but he did

Ole Michael Carmichael….IYKYK😂😂

To be fair I’m a climbing arborist for work and I can get into any tree and have all the tools. In a way I’ll saddle hunt but my set up is like 3k but I’ve always filled all my deer tags this way for the past 15 years depending on the year 35 deer harvested this way and it works great

That was unexpectedly great.

Although resident landowners are not required to purchase a hunting license and deer tag on property they own, they often purchase licenses & tags to hunt other property they don’t own. Additionally, they are often surveyed as the landowner due the the fact that they are in the business of farm production. And lastly, deer bag limits exist for both landowners and others required to purchase tags alike. Ohio has perhaps a simplistic system, but the deer herd itself is the best proof of its success. Anyone (exemp landowner or required licensee), if they choose to break the law, can and unfortunately do take deer beyond their bag limits. To suggest that this is only a landowner issue is irresponsible.

They’re tools. One is better is some situations and the others good in all situations.

They definitely don’t come back and smell where you’ve been

You could definitely get in more spots with a tree stand....

1: 21: 50 seconds in I can hear Jeff Sturgis now losing his shit that you put a water trough and a food source together that equals a number 16 on scale. You're fired

I make crazy monkey noises 😂

I never heard of that but I like it!!...Good to know

The point is you fucked upped fishing.... selfish...

I bet you Pat sold some earth ponds after that pod cast. That was helpful because I was thinking about adding some small water holes to my property and that sealed the deal. Going to pick up 50 gallon rubbermaid tub at tractor supply tomorrow on my way to OHIO!

I'm split... no more fish sonar!! I agree!! Hunt and fish... as God has created!!

Does HUNTR have an X (twitter) account I can follow?

So I was working on my bow,arrows and other stuff in the basement last night. Listening to the pod.....awesome just awesome

Thanks guys I caught an earlier episode and I want to quote, “The hunting industry's own actions demonstrate that hunting television and hunting social media reduces access causing an increase in cost of access”. Draw results are so low that what was once fun isn’t anymore. It’s become a money driven sport for the rich. So sad we live in this me first selfish society. Social media has absolutely badly hurt why we do this in the first place. Thoughts?

Matt thank you and I quote, “The hunting industry's own actions demonstrate that hunting television and hunting social media reduces access causing an increase in cost of access”.

Social media has absolutely badly hurt why we do this in the first place. Thanks for the truth Matt.

I still call bullshit on your claim of nonresidents footing 70% of license revenue in Ohio. Even when nonresidents paid stupid tax on either sex tags to harvest early season anterless deer, the revenue wasn't near 70%.

The barking like a dog is definitely a killer tip don’t know why I didn’t think of that myself with them being able to run dogs here in VA. One time after dark I got caught on my stick halfway down the tree, a bunch of deer came in right under me, after awhile I tried to play coyotes howling on my phone because I didn’t trust myself to make it and they didn’t give 2 shits and eventually picked me out and it was the loudest I have ever heard deer running away in my life…😂

Great deer I just don’t like B/C scoring I hate the inside measurement because it’s air, I think the Jordan buck would still be the WR if you throw out the inside spread

"How do you deal with dogs Pat?" Pat - "shoot'em, trapp'em, snare'em, whatever it takes." I freakin love his honesty. Been a fan of Pat since the prime time bucks days.

Saddle hunting sucks,. Hive me a stand every time.

small game hunters hammer timber blow whole sections out in Iowa and Nebraska its wild the dedication

Pat was buzzed up pretty good for this one

1:05:32 im hunting from the ground without a blind, treating it like spring gobbler and finding good natural cover to setup in. Allows for the most mobility, and deer absolutely get within feet of you. Im using a crossbow though which makes it a touch easier to get the shot off

50:53 I know ive killed a lot more of my deer in archery during afternoon/evening sits, than i have morning sits.

41:46 at least with regular modern trail cameras (not cell cameras) you have to go check the camera in the woods. You have to learn how to not disturb deer while doing it, and no matter how good you are at not disturbing them, unless youre using historical data, or at least letting them soak until you hunt the spot in the fall, youre informing mature animals to avoid the area during shooting light most likely. Cell cameras take all of the out. Set it and enjoy it straight to your phone up until, and even while, youre in the tree.

35:23 between baiting, crossbows, and cell cameras. The biggest beyond a doubt advantage thats changed hunting is cell cameras. Want to be a better hunter with minimal effort? Youd think baiting and crossbows. But the least effort and money required is cell cameras. Take the $2000 youd spend on one good pile of corn. Buy a bucket load of cell cameras, toss them out one weekend in the spring while gobbler hunting, dont touch them again till the season has gotten going and you know precisely where to be. Sit on the couch the whole rest of the time and just watch pictures come in. In combination with baiting, its game over you literally beed 1-2 weekends before the season to know precisely which buck youre going to kill and know precisely where youre going to do it. Get you a cheap bow, with a 30 pack of knock off rages. Practice a couple weekends over the summer, snag a blind, call yourself the greatest come rifle camp cause you’re tagged out each year.

28:45 i dont own enough ground to hunt on, and since i hunt Pennsylvania, i cant bait or feed on public ground. That being said however, because the state forest land i hunt is reliably barely hunted in archery season, and its well over 100k of absolutely premium big woods mountain habitat. I know exactly what you mean by the switch that flips come late august early September. All spring and summer its just running non cell cameras and scouting more land, which requires a lot of work but seems to come with less stress less focus on just one animal. But once the summer is dwindling its suddenly who cares about the abundance of nice bucks, heres the two or three glimpses of big bucks ive had here and here and there all summer, time to dial in as much as possible and the stress about not getting the desired intel immediately just skyrockets!

What’s funny is if you ask don higgins he’d say hunting over water is a waste of time and deer get 70% of their hydration through food. I remember someone asked him this specific question at a seminar a few years ago

My favorite podcast. I had a fawn born in my field this year only stayed one day, gone that night. Cool opportunity to show the kids how it happens
