  • Once bucks know they're being followed a fairly common tactic they will use is to walk down a stream a good distance to shake their pursuer - they won't just walk across the stream. This buck tried to give me the slip by doing this exact thing. In this video, I show you how I picked the track back up again quickly.
    If you're looking to start tracking I've left some more resources for you below:

    Now this is real hunting! None of this shooting over a corn pile nonsense. Although it appeared unsuccessful, you went about it the proper way.Respect from South Africa. I will subscribe.

    In Fall of 1977, when I was 17, I followed a nice track in big north MN woods in 6” fresh snow. Going north After about 3 hours the trail ended. The deer had walked backwards on its own trail for about 15 yards, then made a big jump, landing a good 15 feet off his trail, then headed northwest. I was amazed how smart he was to use that tactic to lose me. I followed the new trail for 2 more hours, never did see it

    I would think the buck wouldn’t care about what direction the water was flowing, but rather what direction the wind was blowing. They know how to use her nose and they want to stay down wind.

    For yourself and some of the guys you know who track deer in Maine, what is the average shot distance in yards and what is longest shot you've had?

    Nice video, good explanation.

    Well played man. That some unreal thick country he ended up in after the first jump. What would you estimate the distance between beds too be?

    I wonder if there is any circumstantial consensus on if bucks always walk with the stream flow when doing this

      They will go both ways, I just read the situation and take an educated guess on which way I think they’re most likely going to go

    I’ve seen them go against it as many time as they go with flow.

    Typical J hook. I track mostly cougars in the snow , after jumping them they usually pull a J hook. If you can get a little further off their track and it’s not so thick, you can catch them staring at their back track .Lights out! Good job!
