    150 In Velvet
    Sep 13 2024
    In this episode of the Nine Finger Chronicles podcast, host Dan Johnson is joined by Tom Waters to discuss Tom's recent Kentucky Velvet Buck hunt. They start by reminiscing about the music they listened to growing up, including classic rock, country, and rap. Then, they dive into the details of Tom's hunt, including how he discovered the buck and his baiting strategy. Tom explains that he had been scouting the area for years but only saw the buck for the first time this summer. He also shares his feeder schedule and how he uses it to slow down the deer movement. The conversation concludes with a discussion about the buck's movement patterns and Tom's setup distance from the feeder. Tom Waters shares his experience of harvesting a velvet buck on his property. He explains that he was hunting from a blind near a feeder when the buck showed up. Tom discusses how the deer behavior changes when they shed their velvet and become more aware. He also talks about the deer population in his area, the influence of agriculture on deer movement, and the low hunting pressure on his property. Tom shares his shot placement and tracking experience, as well as his choice of broadheads. He mentions his plans to hunt on public land and donate deer to Kentucky Hunters for the Hungry. Takeaways: Music preferences can change over time and be influenced by personal experiences and exposure to different genres. Baiting can be an effective strategy for attracting deer, but its effectiveness may vary depending on the availability of natural food sources. Feeder schedules can be adjusted based on hunting regulations and the deer's feeding patterns. Understanding deer movement patterns and setting up at an appropriate distance from the feeder can increase the chances of a successful hunt. Deer behavior changes when they shed their velvet and become more aware. Agriculture, such as beans and corn, influences deer movement more than acorns or bait. Low hunting pressure on Tom's property allows for successful hunting. Tracking deer in tall grass or CRP can be challenging. Tom prefers using Rage Hypodermic broadheads. Tom plans to hunt on public land and donate deer to Kentucky Hunters for the Hungry. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    In this conversation, Andy May discusses his hunting strategies and experiences, as well as his approach to balancing hunting with other responsibilities. He emphasizes the importance of analyzing the wind, thermals, and terrain when scouting for deer and setting up tree stands. Andy also shares his perspective on parenting and motivating children in sports. He recounts a story of hunting a buck that frequently crossed onto a neighboring property and how he used a decoy to try to lure the buck within range.

The main themes include the struggle of balancing sports and family, the importance of finding a passion, and the approach to scouting and hunting on unfamiliar properties. The conversation also touches on the significance of fresh sign and the tactics for hunting a bumped deer. Takeaways: Analyzing wind, thermals, and terrain is crucial when scouting for deer and setting up tree stands. Balancing hunting with other responsibilities can be challenging, but it's important to prioritize family and make time for other activities. Motivating children in sports requires finding a balance between pushing them to work hard and allowing them to find their own path. Using decoys can be an effective strategy for luring deer within range, especially when hunting on properties with limited access. Balancing sports and family can be challenging, and it's important to support children in finding their own passions. Having a passion or hobby can provide direction and motivation in life. When scouting on unfamiliar properties, look for areas that could be food sources or good bedding opportunities. Pay attention to fresh sign, such as tracks, droppings, and rubs, when deciding where to hunt. If you bump a deer, analyze the lay of the land and set up in a strategic location to potentially intercept the deer when it returns. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    In this episode of the Nine Finger Chronicles podcast, Dan Johnson interviews Eric Barber from Vortex Optics. They discuss hunting strategies for September and out-of-state trips. Eric shares his approach to hunting in September, focusing on the shift in deer behavior and the importance of speed scouting and being mobile. They also discuss Eric's upcoming out-of-state trips to South Dakota and Wisconsin, and how he plans to locate deer and set up in new areas. They cover topics such as finding water sources, identifying deer concentrations, and using decoys. They also discuss the challenges of hunting public land and dealing with limited access and time constraints. Eric emphasizes the importance of being aggressive and making informed decisions based on available intel. They also touch on the mental pressure and time crunch that hunters often feel towards the end of a hunt. Takeaways: September is a critical time for deer hunting, as the shift in deer behavior occurs with the change in food sources and the end of velvet shedding. Speed scouting and being mobile are key strategies for hunting in September, as deer patterns change rapidly during this time. Identifying water sources and deer concentrations can help hunters locate deer in new areas. Using decoys can be effective in attracting deer, especially during cold fronts or when deer are feeling on edge. Hunting public land can present challenges, but being aggressive and making informed decisions based on available intel can lead to success. The mental pressure and time crunch towards the end of a hunt can be managed by focusing on the enjoyment of the experience and appreciating the details of the hunt. Learn more about your ad choices.
