So I spent most of the weekend watching your videos and decided to go see if I had learned anything. I pulled up on-x and studied a map of the park across from my house. (Its 444acres and has some walking trails through it.) I marked a spot i decided looked like it would be a good buck bedding area. I went out and walked exactly to my waypoint location. No joke, about 20 feet from my waypoint were two massive bucks bedded down. I spooked them out but I didn't care i was blown away by the things I learned just from watching and listening to your videos of success and failure. I now have big buck fever worse than ever before and its all thanks to you!

Don't know about you guys, but public land where I hunt (North Mississippi) experienced a MASSIVE increase in hunters this past season! I heard all the rumors about new hunters and first-time gun buyers due to COVID, but I was not prepared for what occurred. New hunters don't join clubs. They hunt public land. And they are BAD hunters who don't know how to find deer and don't have any freakin' etiquette for their fellow hunters. The rules of the past simply didn't apply this time, and I don't know what to do for '21 other than work even harder and go even farther from the beaten trail. Anyone else see this?

Very educational information Dan and Rick so I might as well grab my boots and Turkey mouth calls and hit the woods again and find the beds these big bucks are using. The property I'm hunting for years now is just full of does and I've been noticing that by the cameras info is that most of the giant bucks you will see maybe once or twice during the prerut and then they move on unless there's numerous does in heat then they stick around for no more than one week and that's when I try to be in the main doe bedding areas to cover cruising bucks, not very often will the giant bucks I call them will camp out for the whole season just during that magical time of year. Iv went completely mobile this past year and I love the feeling of just seeing different views of the farm and the feeling of being able to push the limits on those perfect days and sneak in within eye sight of the bedding. Thanks for sharing all of this knowledge with us and I'm hopeful it will pay off again this year. As always be safe and stay healthy my friend.

BIG rub hunter here. Some of my findings. Bucks will choose (prefer) to rub a certain species of tree and stick to those making the wide scale patterning job much easier. Tip. Look for unique scars from burrs or antler knobs in the actual rub that can be matched up with other rubs to pinpoint a certain buck. Bucks who prefer rubbing hardwoods tend to carry white antlers. Those who prefer softwoods will carry dark antlers. If you find bushes destroyed but no big rubs, your looking for a buck with beams too close to together to wrap his antlers around the base of a rubbing tree. The side of the tree rubbed gives you a better idea of where he’s coming from and going to. That one’s pretty obvious. In big woods, old rubs close to new rubs on the same species of tree that are located in the same area indicates a same travel route used throughout the years by the same buck. Clusters of rubs indicate core or staging areas, lone or individual rubs indicate travel routes. My absolute #1 ways to locate and pattern older bucks.

Hey Dan quick question got a big buck on our property l think he's on the decline l seen him earlier in November he has very heavy main beams and kinda short tines about 3" to 4"s and very wide rack pushing 20" he's hitting 3" to 4" cedar trees if rubs looks low on this trees not going very high due to short tines?
@thehuntingbeast

GO BY THE HIGHT OF THE RUB CENTER. Tines just leave scratches above the rub. the heavy rubbed area thru the bark is done with his bases at or near his fore head, all rubs are like this cause they have a gland on there forhead they are putting scent on that portion of the tree. so hight to center of rubbed clean portion. Not highest point.

Great video Dan! I find a lot of variation in rub sign here between different public pieces in lower Michigan. I am fairly intermediate when it comes to public land but I try to figure it out the best I can with help from mentors like you! Dan my question for you is: if you put good boot time on a property and you do not find the rub sign you are looking for what does that say to you? Are you looking elsewhere on that specific property even if you believe that was the only suitable area for mature bucks to hold? Or would you just move onto the next property and invest time there assuming the low rub property is just inferior? I find it hard here on Michigan public to find deer sign that would indicate a deer is 3-4 or over. I had one buck on cam that was what I would age at 3-4. He was a monster for me, but everything else was clearly 2 and under this year. Do I need to adjust expectations of rub sign and age class, or is it simply a matter of hitting many properties and scouting the prominent transitions to make sure the quality of deer you want is in there? I feel like this year I got really married to a couple of properties, when in reality since I hunt from a stool I should just be making deep dives on more properties throughout the season. Thanks again for the video, I appreciate all your stuff! Hope you and Rick had a blast scoutin! -Mike

When deer bed out on these points, how are they not trapped, so to speak? Maybe I'm not understanding the landscape correctly, but I envision these points as ground with some type of tree or bush covering, that project out into marsh like a peninsula. As such, how do deer escape if a predator travels out into the point/peninsula? Are they able to detect the predator's approach and sneak along the side and skirt around? Are there escape trails that lead out through the marsh?
@thehuntingbeast
Жыл бұрын
Actually its the perfect set up for escape. The terrain leads 99% of the danger right down the point to them and they only have to monitor danger from one direction with either wind, sight, or sound (usually a combination) and they have great escape into the marsh and heavy cover.

The scouting we did in this video was done around February or march of last year. The bucks generally dont winter in those areas and we are looking at sign from hunting season. Some of the areas we scout hold bucks year round, but with that said there is no place where people have never been and a walk one day 6 months before season will have little impact on hunting season.

I only hunt public property. I think I see more big mature bucks than most with prime private land. My absolute go to with rubs are rub lines where woods and crp adjoin, especially if it's taller crp. When I find them and they are fresh, I know that unless he weather is extreme,they are in that crp. I walk in past the lazy hunter territory and beyond. When I believe there's one in there I will work the wind and set up tight in the crp. Always use tufts of Russian olive or honeysuckle as my backdrop. But I DO NOT, hunt that rub line. Shooting light will be gone by the time he makes it there. I hunt the areas 100-200 yards from the rubs. When I truly believe one is in that crp, I will use a grunt tube, not to call them in, but to get them to cock their head enough that I can see the rack move.

Hey there Dan, Michigan hunter here, my question is, does the rubs coming in/out of a bedding area tell you anything about direction of travel? And are bucks more likely to run coming in or out of bedding?
@thehuntingbeast
Жыл бұрын
A lot of the time where the bucks are rubbing they are kind of hanging out and from observation I have seen them rub the trees on the side easiest to rub or just where they end up and necessarily in the direction the rub would dictate. But there might be a slight tendency to rub more on the side your walking up to... I think they rub more coming out of bedding and the exit trails kind of show that, but they do rub going in to... I think they are to busy being cautious entering beds to worry to much about rubbing. They tend to come in from down wind and smell the area before approaching then spin around in the bed and watch there back trail wind to back. But in the evening after being there with no intrusions they tend to just get up and slowly make there way down the main trails coming out of bedding and thats when you see the hesitation and stopping to rub occasionally while waiting for sunset before getting to far.

Hi Luke, in flat marsh or swamp terrain terrain I refer to a "point" as a point of a type of habitat that is surrounded by another habitat. Usually the "point" is slightly elevated over the surrounding terrain... A point is usually along a transition where the 2 habitats meet... Like where timber turns to cattails, or timber turns to brush, etc. In some cases a point can be one type of timber that grows at one elevation, meeting another type of timber that grows at a different elevation... Again, that elevation change is often very subtle.

And on certain public farm lands thats would be like hitting the lottery here in MI. Maybe northern big hard woods ? Just the things you show us it really falls in place bedding. rubs , big tracks hiding places browse things I learn for you even made me a better shed hunter too at all my shed spots .

I know this area has held big bucks in the past, but hardly any rubs that I can find.

It has a lot to do with the amount of big bucks, when they use the beds, and how often they are in that area.

@@thehuntingbeast Thank you. I was thinking about that after listening to an old Q&A with Dan and Mario. Most likely early season bedding before rut/ and any freezing.

Great video Dan and Rick, excellent insight...You make it look easy, then most of the time when you mention “another hunter would be too far out”, or in the wrong spot I’m thinking, “Hey, he’s talking about me”! 😂😂

Way to crush it Dan... top tier video. So many little details, I love to soak it all in and watch it multiple times! Awesome. All about analyzing and knowing the right question to ask yourself! Keep crushing it!

I personally dont pay a ton of attention to rubs to me they are a lot like trail cameras as dan says they let you know what's in the area and they can let you know what direction the deer may be coming from for me that's about it. I see them I know bucks use the area then I'm working on where I should set up to try to see the bucks before dark.

I have found that rubs are directional. I look at big rubs and get down and will see more rubs on the same side of the trees.

Awesome video Dan. So do you pretty much usually find the best stand spots and bedding right in and around those thick transition spots. Also you've told me to not kinda hunt my way in cuz it's like slapping em and saying game on. So when do you like to use an observation post instead of going right in on em for a virgin sit. Thanks brotha

I use observation stands when I can see a long way, and cover multiple bedding areas... usually in more open terrains, such as farm country. In swamps and marshes, like the one in the video, a trail camera up on the ridge, or at the food source is a good way to know if a target buck is there, then fall back on hunting that transition.

How do you get your stand in that little tree. Great video. Looks like where I hunt in New Hampshire. My spot also is loaded with rubs.

Reminds me of an outdoor TV show Terry Bradshaw was in where the guide found sheep scat and squeezed them, smelled them then popped (a milk dud) in his mouth and commenced chewing then offered Bradshaw one to see what he thought...was hysterical
