Just from a majority of other hunting videos everyone says they don’t move with the wind, and I started changing my tactics thinking deer won’t come down with the wind on their back
I hunt Eastern KY and man finding deer is a challenge. Where I hunt deer population is high but density is very low due to all the vast terrain and it will put hair on your chest hiking these hills
I really enjoy your videos, keep it up!!! Question for you, have you figured out a way to format your SD card on the Wildview cameras that your using? The manual doesnt say how.
Jake you should be running a school on this stuff. Take people willing to pay out and do exactly this. Appreciate the free videos though… will we be able to watch videos of you guys hunting these exact spots this fall?
@jake-bush hey I hunt some really steep terrain in lawrence county Kentucky. The drain i hunt has 5 or 6 big fingers running off the side of it, like micro ridges with small drainages between, that drain down into grass bottoms that deer feed all night!! Would you rather hunt the points, or would you hunt where all the points meet down in the creek bed at the head of the drainage?? They are tracks, rubs, scrapes, beds, all over the sides of the points and fingers!!
Can you explain your two different maps of the hub area at the 9:00 to 9:40 mark? I was following along and then I got confused. The first map Jake is at 1100-1200 feet elevation and the 2nd he's at 700-800 feet elevation. Did you guys drive to another area? Jake is making it sound like that's all the same hub system but based on the map its different.
On the kill sit on the first hun example, since y’all are accessing up the drainage below him, are you going in late evening to keep thermals from pulling up the hill to the bed? Great job on the videos
I agree, I can appreciate it , but hate seeing so many of these type of videos out there. Everyone’s a whitetail professor these days. I’m already seeing more and more hunters in areas on public land that I’ve never seen as much as a boot track in for years. Every time I run into someone they’re all talking like “ you see that community scrape in that thermal hub “ probably bedding in the “ high stem count bedding cover “, access on a “ northwesternly south East wind with rising thermals “ got to get “ boots on the ground “😂. I am just nodding my head like yea you literally learned how to hunt from watching 2 months of CZcams. Good luck out there.
It looks like you need a wind from the east to get thru that hub, particularly on an evening hunt when thermals are rising. Maybe I missed it, but do you plan to hunt the western-most beds first or are you basing it off your trail cam pictures of the buck activity when you get in there to hunt? From my experience in KY hunting rolling hills that maybe aren't quite as steep, buck tend to bounce around beds making it real hard to predict which they'll be using.
You guys really think mature deer use the same beds all the time??? You’re acting like you find one bed and you are confident he will be in it the one day you go hunt him.. that’s ridiculous with a wild animal and all the variables. But hey good luck!
It’s definitely far from a guarantee as it is a wild animal. But verifying wind based bedding in relation to a specific food source and a hub scrape in early season is about the best chance I can give myself. There are a ton of external factors that can change on the fly. And at the end of the day it is a wild animal. But it gives me enough confidence to take a shot at that bed if those scrapes are hot and the food source is hot when we go in there. At the end of the day find confidence in what you believe in and trust it. Good luck this fall!
Hey man! I’m far from an expert. But what I will say is I’ve hunted Ohio public land for 4 years since moving here. Of those 4 years I’ve killed Two Boone and crocket deer in the first 2 days of season in hubs that set up a lot like this. The 3rd year I killed a 140 class buck mid November, and last year I never found a good one to chase. So as of right now I guess I’m at 50% success killing a public land Boone and crocket deer in the first two days of season. The only reason we are even putting this information out there is to help people that have asked questions in the past. It’s far from the end all be all answer. But hopefully it’s something that someone can add to their bag of tricks. If it helps one hunter be successful this fall this show is a success in my eyes. Good luck this season.
Awesome man. Iv killed 1 public land boone and crocket in ohio. Iv hunted 10 days a year there for about 7 years. Last 2 years have been duds in ohio for me so this coming year im going to new area in ohio that i scouted in feb. Good luck this year. I found your channel and subcribed. Nice kansas hunt . Im. Going kansas next year. Hunted there 2 years. Back in mid 90s. Hoping i can find an area that isn't hammered by nonresidents
Thank you for watching!
Part 1 - czcams.com/video/caxDJMDcXTk/video.html
Test Pic..great idea!!
Would love to see part 3 when you pull the cameras and verify what you guys are saying! Awesome stuff!
Good Stuff! Scouting and formulating a plan before season even starts is the greatest move a hunter can do!
good stuff guys!

I live here In eastern kentucky. This helped me alot
Live here too, but this is just a rehash of what a hundred other people have said - just fundamental skills of observation and common sense.
I’ve never thought about using my phone camera to check trail camera picture angles. Smart! Thanks for that!!
Good stuff keep ‘em coming!
No worries of messing it up by going in there during August ?
Great stuff guys …. Coming in to set ups from difficult and less traveled terrain can be money .
Loving these videos
Love it!!
Great series of videos. Looking forward to picking apart some Ohio public for this year!
So you will hunt that knowing he will have the wind at his back ? You don’t think he would walk into the wind
Can you explain your two different maps of the hub area at the 9:00 to 9:40 mark? I was following along and then I got confused.

Nice job on the vid
I heard y’all mention “predominant wind for this area”. Do you have a source that shows you what the predominant wind is for an area?
My favorite two apps are windy and wunderground for analyzing weather and wind patterns.
@@jake-bush thanks man!
On the kill sit on the first hun example, since y’all are accessing up the drainage below him, are you going in late evening to keep thermals from pulling up the hill to the bed? Great job on the videos
This stuffs good enough you wanna know it but don’t want everybody else to see it.
Exactly what I was thinking

I watch all this stuff..so I can see what the competition will
Be doing.
@@ec9697 Good call, people are more predictable than the deer.
