Coyote update – deer are pretty much spread out and not concentrated. Team member Stephen Schanz shares his deer season after he finished guiding clients. Stephen shares a good example of how deer habits change as food and cuts change. Deer dig for food near planted red pines but not sure what they feed on. Got to sound like a deer when hunting in crunchy conditions. Bucks with white antlers primarily are rubbing on maple and poplar. Shooting through whips at 70 + yards with a muzzle loader is difficult. The hunts when you don't get the buck seem to be the best lessons to learn from. I beat the buck but didn't kill him???

Deer have been everywhere it is just a good winter for them with the lack of snow. Found only 1 coyote track in a 50 mile snowmachine ride. Mostly crust can't run dogs.

Boys discuss their experiences with tracking bucks in Mass. Bucks are starting to show up in bachelor groups. Clumps of hair indicate sparring. A saddle between mountain tops is a good spot for deer to travel. Freezers are full. Tail flicker indicates deer are calm. Jeff Paradis shares his experience with a tracking dog. Dogs are amazing but trailing wounded deer on your own can build your instincts as well. Boys talk about their longest drag.

The Stomach Flu Excuse. Too Many Details!!! It is all about getting on the right one at the right time. Step on high spots around water and when in the woods but DON'T step on high spots when you're in the high ground. Mark describes his method of 3rd gear, 2nd gear 1st gear, death creep. Joe said: " if I could have teleported myself, I would have killed him 5 times because I was familiar with the area." A story develops from daylight. Hal says: " you cannot control when the 2 points connect." The buck didn't care about me but cared more about the does. Coyote patrol had helped last few years.

Lots of droppings and beds indicates a healthy deer herd. Things just getting going some scrapes but halfhearted. Snorting back at a deer you jump just might hold him long enough. Most guys in camp saw deer today. "Stove up with buck sign" Good Lee Lingo. Even though cut hard deer like them but hard to kill one in there. Hal gets injured again!!! Does his own chiropractic work. What to do when you get leg cramps form walking too much. In the north winters are a major controlling factor of deer herd health. Big groves of maple could be beneficial to health of deer herd. When mornings are cool work your way up high. Repeat process and the law of averages will catch up to you.

2nd season Maine Moose Hunt results. When leaves come down it is time to scout. Most leaves come down in the mountains sooner than anywhere. Scout a little later because leaves cover up sign. You should wait to scout till bucks move into fall range in October. Last week of October generally signposts start to get hit. Daylight controls everything. Been seeing lot of fawns which is good sign deer herd is healthy. Lots of people look in the wrong areas for signpost. Hal steers you in the right direction. Bedding and feeding areas in the big woods? Do they exist? Your favorite buck spot might not be good this year. Why? What to do?  Sitting in hardwoods where you can see the farthest is probably not best place. Why? Spend 90% of your time in the 10%. How do you find 10% area?

We are proud to announce our new partnership with Minus33. Our guest is Lawson Glidden, President of Minus33, who shares the long history of his company and their extensive product line. Layering is key to dealing with weather changes while hunting so Lawson shares his wealth of knowledge on Merino Wool and why his products stand out from competitors.  Trying to battle the elements of Mother Nature we deal with as outdoor people can be life or death if you are not prepared. This conversation fits right into the BWB System we have created. Vital information for any outdoor person. Moose hunt - 2nd season a lot different than 1st season. Don't scout to early if you have 2nd season tag. Trail cam pics can be a curse – good indication of the moose in the area but moose might not be there when you hunt. They go on a mission just like deer do during the rut. Alder rubs with broken stubs from years past much better indicator then random rubs. Hal is a fan of running and gunning even at first light. Some old bulls just like old turkey's don't talk too much. Guide Mike says get into their living room during 2nd season before you rack or call. 2nd season seems to be better to rack brush then call in some cases.

Many asked to hear more of Garnett's stories, so we invited him back. Bad Lee has some kind of KRUD ???? says Hal Many times, deer hear or see something and just want to get out of the way. There are 1000 things to be negative about, but you have to know you will see one! Every day you are in the woods and hunt big woods style you will be within an eye shot of a big buck Your job is to see him first. Many want to get in the woods in the "Twilighties" but if you can't see in the shadows, you can't see the deer When you cut off a deer yard you are just bunching more deer into a smaller area. Tipping Firs??? Pay attention to the woods around you and take note of your surroundings. Don't forget to use the discount code for your onX membership.
