The Big Buck Hunter’s Secret: Sniffing Out RUT Honey Holes!

First

4th

These guy's hustle!!

Good info

Awesome y’all are in my hometown basically just 20minutes from the house . I been watching yall a lot lately and just killed a buck yesterday after hunting tactics Mr. Bobby talks about

This guy is the real deal. He’s knows how to hunt those mountains!🦌

Ya'll just interviewed one of the biggest dogs in Georgia. Ironically he has the simplest, most practical way of doing things. The way some of these guys make it out to be almost takes the fun out of hunting. This definitely makes you want to get back down to the basics and rely on your woodsmanship

i bet this dude hunts with his shoes on...IYKYK...great episode

Everything he said makes sense except for hunting in blue jeans. Everything I’ve ever learned about deer vision totally contradicts his statement. I’m sure he’s killed some great deer but I’m also sure those blue jeans aren’t doing him any favors. Good topo perspective though 👍🏼

Oh, that’s a “cool” lookin buck behind jacob 😂😂😂

Great tips for mountain hunting. Alright Alright

Mountains ok, id like to see you guys in West Virginia and the tactics and strategy you have for a Hunter to be successful, by the way just found you guys not long ago enjoy your videos stay after em 🦌 God bless y'all 🙏

We have had nothing but a bad experience with bear for a couple of years now and I mean to the point one can't set up blinds they tare them up almost immediately not to mention running the bucks off 😔

This guy knows his stuff I relate to all his terminology, benches, knobs, etc and most importantly not but three rubs in hundred miles 😁✌️ best video yet as far as I relate, WV 🦌🤝

Same may not see a doe ever but look out for the bucks 🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌

The point he made about intersecting trails hit home with me.
I don’t hunt the mountains, but during the rut, trail intersections make a whole lot of sense.

Dang boy, 44 years old? Really?

Another great video filled with years of knowledge!

Harlan Ky is all mountains and I mean steep and thick! Hard to determine food source and bedding. Zero agriculture and the only way to get on bucks is boots on the ground. Lots of all year walking.

Crazy yall are in my home town an been watching yall for a while now killed my biggest buck last year using information from y’all’s videos

Love hunting. Do it how you love it. That is some great advice. If you pick a style or method that you really enjoy sooner or later you’ll get good at it🦌

Love listening to all these different guests and their various perspectives and approaches to getting on mature bucks,you can learn something worthwhile from all of them,good stuff !!

right on with chestnut oak i killed several deer on them late season here in north west georgia but thats when other food sources are very limited !! also very early season before any other acorns drop

Absolutely loved this one. Love Mr. Joeys approach to hunting and think we could all benefit from getting back to the basics a little more. One thing I’d really love to see is pretty much every guest references different deer around the room and they’re typically out of view of the camera. I’d love if you guys could cut in that deer when they reference it

Great interview! It’s much simpler than we can imagine once we learn all the details. Time to watch more Southern Outdoorsman interviews and spend more time in the woods

Laurel thicket hell... preach

Oooweee…man he just brought a lot of people up a bunch of levels lol fixin to get tougher on public boys ..fountain of knowledge

Great episode. I hunt bears up in NY and what this gentleman said definitely applies there as well. Bears will walk the logging roads on ridgelines filled with white oaks. Bucks will travel on paths just below and paralleling the ridge.

Bears are efficient predators on deer fawns. Pigs will also kill a fawn when they can but pigs are very efficiant at eating just about anything deer eat. Any mast or fruit that hits the ground will be hit by pigs. They are noisy, disruptive and will eat mushrooms and will graze and root in young, green grassy growth especially in the winter. Im not in bear country but im in pig country but i figure deer avoid bear when they can just like they do pigs.

Any deer advice focusing on "Appalachian" buck hunting. Should be wrote down on the inside if your bible haha

Public land hunting in Appalachia is tough tough work. I can’t say what its like north of the mason dixon but where I grew up in western Virginia, hunting on public was hard. I don’t mean having to hoof it, thats a given but in those days and those rural counties everyone you knew hunted. Opening day of rifle was as big as the 4th of july, in 7th grade there was a mandatory hunter safety course for every child. People talk about pressure today but the hunter numbers have declined, some have no idea what it was like to pull through that white gate 20 years ago and see a truck at every pull off.

I know this is my second comment but I have to clarify something for the people who are thinking of hunting the mtns but dont live there. In Appalachia there are massive valleys, 9/10 times thats where the bigger towns are. In these valleys there are big ridges, and these ridges get larger as you head towards the mountains on either side. The hunting in these valleys is usually very different than hunting the literal mountains. You’re technically still in the mountains but the hunting is much different and the deer behavior reflects that. Even at the base of mountains where the ridges start to roll more softly, these areas hunt differently than if you were up on the mountain. In my opinion the deer in these locations act much more like ‘outdoor channel deer’ I used to call them. The behavior is much more typical to the rest of the nation , but true mountain deer are a different breed. Some of the deer ive killed in the high country have a different shape and condition to their hooves and they are the most savvy animals I’ve ever seen…besides a mountain turkey.
