This is one of THP's best instructional videos. I like the round table discussion where everyone shares and discusses what they see. Having the videos to demonstrate puts it over the top. Keep these coming! Some of us need all the info we can get!
A good round table discussion. But here is some more food for thought. All my deer hunting life, I'm 62 now, I have heard people argue over when is the rut, regardless as to the time within the deer season. As one man will say "Man, the rut is surely on. I have had bucks chasing after doe for the past 3 days all over me!". While another hunter, a half mile to a mile away is like "Are you kidding. I haven't seen anything all week". So here's the deal. Bucks are ready to breed by the time the velvet falls from their horns to, according to eye witness accounts as early as September to as late as January, even February in many cases. In most cases, multiple doe herds exist throughout any particular block of land, and each doe herd, like a close nit group of ladies, their menstrual cycles will become closely intertwined. When one comes into heat, the others doe will as well. Whereas the ladies in another room of the house may peak at another time of the month. This would be a good time to note that a doe herd on your selected hunting property is like your house. There exist a doe herd in your livingroom and a doe herd living in every other bedroom of your house. For this reason, the rut is always on. Not just the first or last two weeks of November, as I have heard many hunters state. So the trick is in finding out which doe group are in heat now and which ones will be soon. Remember that each estrus cycles is typically on a 28 day rotation. Typically, if you are monitoring a particular rub "intersection" and suddenly that intersection blows up with rubs, mark that date! As it typically denotes the beginning of that herds' estrus cycle. Time to hunt! The place to hunt! Good luck to all this coming season. I'll be watching.
You sir as respectably as I can say it, are as far wrong as you could possibly be.
I'm almost half your age but I have seen a lot of evidence that supports your comment. I'd say that is some good observing.
Respectfully I have been around deer my whole life raising them watching an learnin from over 100 does in a pen an the earliest I’ve seen one come into heat was October 17th an through the end of January they come in at different times but the older does 3 maybe 4 times an the yearling does once later maybe a second time in January
@@matthewfisher9352 lol, it's opinion. An opinion based on experience, so can't be far wrong lol. So you probably should take a chill be before your head explodes and gave a heart attack.
@@blind-dateoutdoorssportsma547 🤣🤣🤣 Your "experience" is either exaggerated or someone is feeding you a serious line of crap.
This is my first year saddle hunting, and my first year im public land hunting. Thanks to yall, ive opened up my hunting opportunities. Love the content yall. Been here a while, and I'll be here as long as I can hunt.
This is not THP don’t respond. Was questioning it but they are far too professional to just throw phone numbers in a comment section. Report them
Stay at it, keep working. Don't get discouraged, keep learning. When it comes together it will be sweet!
I’ll be hunting in 24 days on an Urban Hunt. It’s awesome every year we get to start a month before every else in our state. Plus it gives us 6 extra tags😂🔥
YES!! More of this right here. More info thrown down in 20 minuets than you can shake a stick at.
Grew up around a deer farm my whole life although they’re pen raised deer the bucks no matter the age always rub smaller trees early to get the velvet off because of the flexibility to get in the pockets an creases of their antlers an usually ones with small limbs on them that I have noticed over the past 15 years of really payin attention to them
Awesome video! Thanks providing examples on film to illustrate what y'all are talking about!
Always valuable information from THP..can't wait till part 2...
I’ve learn so much from listening to y’all’s podcast!
Diggin' the content. I think that the sign I find is very likely NOT the only sign around...it is just what I am finding, especially in thick brush.
When you hunt a lot of places over many years you notice and experience deer and sign . I call this hunting historically. Another big tool in your hunting chest for upcoming hunts. Also keep a log or journal.
You guys have great points. Because sometimes what might seem to be a bust cause there isn't an abundance of sign could end up being a good hunt. Or it could even end up the other way around. Cause I was always told from a little kid if it was easy to do everyone would do it. Also if you didn't get them let down days it wouldn't be called hunting it would be called killing.
Two days ago I lost both the properties I have hunted for the past 5 years. I went and found a place today that the gentleman said I can hunt plus they have crop damage permits available! Really excited to start this season with dove starting September 1st
I’m really going to hit early season hard this year. Going to set some cameras out and try to find some buck core areas. Our region is in a major drought so I’m going to have to find secluded water sources as well.
Great information. Looking forward to the rut sign video!
I hunt ND and labor day weekend is typically the last weekend you will find vulvate. My first Buck bow hunting was full velvet. and other deer have shed by labor day.
How about making a video of the teams favorite hunts. Turkey deer elk it doesn't matter just each guy and their favorite hunt so far.
Love the podcast style videos fellas!
Here early for once. Hello to THP guys. Ready for some cooler weather and a long deer season.
Season opens here in SC on 8/15 and I've had pics of bucks shedding velvet for the past week or so. Found several rubs on the edge of a peanut field I'll be hunting. I'll be there opening day with the rifle 😉
Aging a rub can be a tricky thing. Something to consider is, where the rub is located. If it is in open woods with some sunshine reaching that rub, it will dry up and age much more quickly than a rub located in a heavily shaded area which can "preserve" the rub and make it look fresher than it actually is. Before trail cams, scouting for rubs, especially larger rubs, was a definite consideration. Little rubs don't mean much, could be small buck or large, but large rubs definitely mean more mature buck., Having said that, I have killed good bucks where there were zero rubs. I am much more keyed in on large tracks, feeding sources, bedding areas, and active scrapes.
All those things are good to consider!
I have found 2 spots that have all the magic, food, cover, and water year round. Take one buck out another moves right in.
You are so right about staying in the killing deer mindset!
I hunt Michigan public land and I don’t really find a ton of sign early season, not nearly like in Iowa so when i do find fresh sign I set up on because it’s rare to even fresh buck sign early October.
Man, I can’t wait for bow season. I’m shooting an old Hoyt Katera, so it aint a laser beam, but hopefully I’ll be able to knock a bruiser down.
Here in Texas there’s no early bow season. Generally October 1st. I can’t ever remember seeing a velvet buck here in season. But, I will hunt the rub lines which are generally along the same route year after year. Very seldom are there true scraps until at least mid October and they are nearly always along the same path area as the rubs. Favorite ancient travel routes the deer have established before I started hunting this place 16 years ago.
In north central Texas they start scraping end of September and we see rubs starting mid October
So what do you guys consider when dealing with a lot of ATV traffic and trails? I hunt state land that is chalk filled with atv trails that get used all summer long and into the season. There are plenty of deer and we have pulled some decent bucks out, and they seem to be used to all the traffic. I'm wondering if I can somehow use these trails to my advantage. Awesome content, guys...keep it up! Good luck this year.
It might not be as exciting but I’d love to see the guys try their luck in the northeast. Anywhere in New England
So excited for September opener. Good luck everyone
What state you hunt I’m in North Dakota
Sept 3 opener
Let’s go
@@davidtisch5237 MO opens Nov 15th
@@mMillz sounds like you rifle hunting down there I haven’t shot my rifle since 2013 North Dakota has that draw system 3-5 yr wait time to shot one Buck with a rifle no thanks so we killem with the bow or go ice fishing around Thanksgiving
I been looking in Wisconsin for ground to buy so when we tag out here we can rifle hunt there during the rut
This is my first year trying cellular cameras and I put one out but my signal is weak just one bar. Will that be a problem relying photos? Like there is pretty much no signal in the area.
You guys find that cameras in the woods with beans up in the ags the bucks aren’t on your cameras till velvet peel? Are the beans a manor pull outta the woods?
Thanks for the great video!
I have a good buck on camera at 10 am 2 pm on the back of corn fields here in September..idk if he'll disappear but I think he'll stay. I will hunt him first 3 days
What head phone/microphone combos are you guys using in these podcasts? Thanks!
Thanks guy's for another great video
I sure wish yall would come hunt in louisiana
Should I focus on beans or corn around southern Illinois in early October?
“Are you rolling?”
“Pshhhh… “
🤣🤣
I’m here in central Michigan and I’ve found rubs in the past weeks and I’m curious bc I’ve never seen it this early before
If you all was to choose a single bevel and a double bevel broadheads under 100 bucks which would it be?
Holler!
Bad ass videos keep ‘em coming
Put illinois on the deer tour got a good spot for yall to try.
Very valuable vid!!! A+++!!!
Can't wait for fall weather
You got that right! I’m about done with this heat.
Hope you all have a good week, cant wait for bow season in oklahoma
Same man. Near Bartersville, hbu?
Ayee, Okie bowhunters! Tahlequah here.
@@casanovafrankenstein8875 bro I'm in stilwell
@@oklahomastate125 lol, I'm from Stilwell originally. Well, Lyon Switch actually.
@@casanovafrankenstein8875 I know where that is, technically I'm in Marryetta
When are you all coming back to PA to hunt?
Arron knows everything , count the acorns in the tree . Come on man
Anything on Scraps during September? Thanks guys! 👊🏻🏹
I had a dream I was playing hockey with them and then we went pheasant hunting 😂
Lmao!
You guys elk hunting this year?
I've seen 6 and 8 inch diameter cedar rubs, does that necessarily mean a big buck? I always thought so
Dan enfalt says that the width isn't as important as height of the rub itself. A rub noticeably higher up a tree than others is a good chance of being a mature buck
Cool STUFF THANKS FOR SHARING ✌OUT LATER
So what’s the best acorns to hunt???
White oak!
My question when it comes to scouting is when to do it - if I scout in August, is the sign I'm finding made by deer that are going to relocate to their fall range? Should I wait until the season starts and scout as I am hunting? Crazy how complicated it can be - especially on public land.
Two part answer
If you find a summer time buck nest they will move out eventually depending on the size of the piece of property.. but if not pressured and depending on when your opener is they maybe still using that area
Last year we found a spot like this but they moved Aug 27th and the opener was Sept but they only moved 1/2 mile down the river to a bigger spot and more food
Once Oct 15th hits in my area of North Dakota mature bucks are looking for those first does to breed
Last week in October best time to arrow a big buck before the main rut
Scout x3 then hunt with your stand on your back early season don’t make the mistake of passing fresh sign
Warb has a great video of this in early season when the deer were feeding close to a parking lot
They don’t travel far in early season
Food water cover
Watch a lot of early season videos
My state doesn’t have a big acorns crop farmers cut most of all the trees down so if I can find one burr oak tree on the river I’m setting up there down wind of the feed tree
I always scout post season or in season for fall areas and summer for early season bucks and acorns
@@scottbryant6349 Do you run trail cameras
Past few years I started running summer cameras from Aug 17-25 just to see if a target buck is in the area
I run the camera over a mock scrape with a licking vine no scent applied to the vine but I will pee in the mock scrape to get it started not sure why but every buck in that area between Aug 17-25 will hit the scrape before moving to a different area in September
Sept 3 is our opener this year
Velvet bucks shed out the 1st week by the 7th the mature bucks aren’t carrying any velvet on past trail camera card pulls
@@davidtisch5237 In Minnesota we can't leave anything on public overnight so not worth going in to bump deer to get no pictures and then go back in the evening to remove the camera. I just do some mock scrapes and stay mobile when hunting and have really keyed into behavior and food sources to have success.
How do I know it’s you guys
Are you doing a bow giveaway I received a text saying I made a shortlist for a giveaway.
I received one earlier today as well. Someone posted on majority of the comments stating people had won. I'm assuming it's a scam and hopefully nobody has issues from it
@@SmokeJensen
Their still trying to get shipping charges out of me for a bow.
Don't fall for it
Drinkin coffee and spittin straight science!!
SCAM!!!
Early gun in cwd county's in tenn gives you a chance to kill velvet buck good job on the pod 🦃🦃🇱🇷
The Hunting public should just have a tv show already!
Nick done took a dump in the woods and used the wrong leaves lol....
Do you guys have some scammers working on the comments. Telling people they are shortlisted for prize's???

That new guy ain’t much of a man, after that clip of him trying to pull a nail out, done it for me. If you can’t pull a nail, get him out of here.
That one guy in the group always making not so humorous voice impressions
Cringe 😬
Not sure 🤔 why he started this about a year ago but it’s getting real hard to watch these videos when I’m trying to take something away from the videos
Bro it was kind of funny at 1st last year but man it’s getting old already
I’m sure it’s hard to listen to for other THP fans as well
Thanks Mindy for filling my merch order this month my son loved the olive green hoodie with the guys paddling out a buck 👍
Y’all either need a studio or get some small mics and a deck of cards and some beer and act like you’re at deer camp when you’re telling these stories.
Wearing those over all’s and camo and that stashe and ole dude don’t even know how to pull a nail. My 6 year old sister can pull a nail.

Great video ! Getting close in ohio !
