Awesome thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing all of that. All of this is very interesting on how things are different but also the same. I love to hunt ridges I have caught a couple big ones cruising both the top and bottom. We can also have some warm Octobers depending. Usually when we hit halloween the morning temps really drop. Evenings can still get warm. I agree in that rut time period they can move whenever. I also agree to be out there as much as you can! Ive tried and heard of people having success midday I will have to try that more. Good luck to you as well!

@Outdoord I've shot big bucks at sunrise, midday and sunset... lol I really like hunting late December and early January when it freezing and below. The deer are really active and I have shot bucks January 13th and 15th, last day of season. Both were following yearling does looking for love ❤️. So I don't think there's really a perfect time to hunt because you just never know when those crazy deer will move. I shot one of my biggest at 3 pm on a 68 degree day with high humidity. I was sweating just sitting there. The day before I watched 4 different bucks chasing does around in a small bottom. I knew I couldn't go in and hang a stand so I didn't even go in until 11 and sat on the ground in the middle of some cedar trees. At 2pm I could see legs on the Ridge above me and hear trees being rubbed. It took an hour for that buck to SLOWLY start working to the bottom. He stood on the edge for 20 minutes and slowly came down into the creek bottom. As he cleared some small trees I drew and he saw me and turned towards as I released the arrow. I was like crap ! He didn't go 25 yards . So you just never know when or where a buck will show up. All you can do is be out there sweating or freezing. Nice video.

@@SuperDave-pe1zw Me and my brother took a big old 8 pointer mid December. Im pretty sure he was doing the same his right eye was basically gone from fighting. I feel like that was fate that day. For all that to happen. That was around 3:45 pm. That's the biggest that I have taken. Ive also seen a huge 8 around 9:30am during the same time period. I am learning to be more aggressive than worrying about messing my spots up. Last rut we had super high temps and I seen multiple bucks and even got a shot at one around 70 degrees. It's awesome the anticipation of the older bucks and how cautious they are. You were probably nice and calm by the time the hour went by lol. That's an awesome story I could talk about this stuff all day long lol. Thanks!

@Outdoord right on man, hunt anytime you can in a spot where the wind is right, you just never know what you'll see.

That's correct I usually stop the first or second week of September. It depends on your area though, so give it a try and see what happens.

@@Outdoord so you quit baiting before your season even starts? Ohio season doesn't start till Sept 28th

@@craigwagner327 our season usually starts around the first week of September. My goal is to get one down on opening day of bow. I put enough down to last about a week in the season. After the first couple of days of bow season in my area the hunting pressure, acorns and fall transition play a major role in very limited opportunities.

That's a great idea thanks for sharing!

I have some Shimano JDM reels. Thanks for the info I haven't tried any Daiwa JDM reels yet. I know they make them a little bit better in Japan.

If you are referring to the Dark Ops Pro vs the Nano. The Pro is cheaper. The Dark Ops Pro DCL NANO has dual lens technology and has 26 mp vs 24. The DCL NANO also offers 4k video. You can go to browningtrailcameras.com to check the differences.

Nice, I know the bass appreciate them lol.

Nice thanks for sharing!

Thanks! I'm you found it helpful.

No problem at all!

Very good tips! Thanks for sharing the mixture. I haven't tried scents much but it's interesting to know that it has worked for you and for so long. To also calm them is fascinating as well. Any information to help is always appreciated. Especially stuff that has consistently had results.

Thanks for sharing all of that. Ive always wondered about putting alfalfa bales out to see if the bucks would come. I also recommend putting some minerals down. Food & water the ultimate combo. The late season has always been tricky where I hunt. For some reason it's not as easy to get the buck in like early season. I think that's mostly due to hunting pressure and lack of cover.

@Outdoord they like alfalfa best if you really break it up and spread it all around, I buy compacted alfalfa bales at tractor supply, it's really compressed so small but you cut it open it's a lot. I have bucks I've never seen or no pictures of come to the food late season, either because they're hungry or they'll follow a yearling doe to the corn. Bow season ends in Oklahoma January 15th. I shot a 157 10 pt on January 13th and another year a 140s 10 pt on January 15th. So never give up!!

@@SuperDave-pe1zw Im going to have to try that. Our bow season ends the end of January. Both solid bucks congrats! Ive never harvested one that late in the season. You never know for sure I usually put the beans and corn down like I do early season but don't have as much luck.

That's very interesting about the bees. Im always super cautious about my face and mouth while bow hunting. It's a huge confidence thing for me to have it, if not it just doesn't feel right. The ole face mask can get you out of some close calls lol.

@@Outdoord same here, and hiding your eyes from deer I believe is important also

@@krisalan5327 I feel like they look right into them sometimes lol.

​@Outdoord they are trying to steal your soul. Don't let them! Lol

@@krisalan5327 🤣🤣

It always been that one thing for me that I can be confident in!

I hear you and that's totally up to you. I appreciate your comment and also your style of hunting. Thanks for sharing!

@Outdoord I haven't been hunting long enough to call it my style yet. You just mentioned they smell our breathing, and it made me wonder if the vape flavors helped/hurt/didn't matter. I've heard from old timers to eat hard candy to give a sweet odor. Thanks for the reply.

@@handlesaredumb1 All good! I have heard that vanilla scent works. I have never tried it though. There are some things out on the market that have a calming effect on deer as well. I think they have some form of vanilla scent in them. Im pretty sure they have a sweet tooth as well lol. So yea all that is interesting whether the vape made a difference or not. I think if It covered your scent and was natural scent like vanilla I think it could have helped. I know they also like cherry scent & flavor, I have been using that for years in my feed.

@@Outdoord I'll try the cherry. Buddy of mine uses Lemon Honey Riccola.

I agree! Gotta play that wind!

I agree, but if you’re rattling, calling, putting out scent smart bucks are going to get down wind. So you still have to try all to beat that nose.

@@xforce708 true

We can only fish so many lures in a days time lol

@Outdoord I noe what you mean. I would change lures every five mins and actually not give anything a really good try lol.

11.5 oz

@@Outdoord thanks, but that's the whole reel, it's listed in the specs. I meant just the spool :)

Great point!

I scatter it for a month or so and start piling it up when they are used to that area. Then I pour some liquid rage apple shit in the corn twice a week. 15 days before the season I’ll dumb 3 bags in a pile and pour and entire gallon of that shit on the corn. By the time the season starts there ain’t no bait there whatsoever so I can legally hunt it

Not on these particular models but Browning offers cellular models that have that feature.

Agreed! If and when…a politician realizes that tax revenue will go up $$$$ they will allow it. If only insurance companies would think about telling states to let supplemental feeding happen away from roads. Hmmmm

Right, its hard keeping everything else off the food, but thats part of the game lol.

Vanquish + expride 😊

yes, crazy right.

Yea, they are like flies over here lol. Can't forget all the other wildlife that gets some too.

Did you reach out to customer service about the issues you are having? Please let me know. Sometimes a bad SD card can cause the batteries to drain. Also Browning has firmware updates listed on their website that fixes a lot of those issues you are referring to.

I had a Browning camera drain my lithium batteries in just a couple weeks. Ended up being a cheaper SD card causing the problem. Only use SanDisk cards now and no problems

@@bejayze Thanks for the info. I only use SanDisk as well.

Thanks for watching!

I have both The HP4 & the HP5 they are my favorite all around Brownings for everything! They are hard to beat but it all depends on what everyone's budget is. The Browning lineup has something for everyone.

No problem! I was also a fan of the advantage. My favorite currently is the Spec Ops Elite HP5.

Awesome thanks for sharing!

I would call into Brownings customer service and let them check things on their end. Sometimes they figure it out that way. They can run some tests and also get you to check some things as well. Let me know what you find out!
