    So I know this is an old video but down in Florida we got these things called alligators so you tell me if that deer will spend much time in that marsh…

  2. @daviddavis7141 on July 5, 2025 at 12:03 pm

    I think you’re show’s are great ,they remind me how hunting was for me when I was young. I still think bow hunting is the best way to take a deer. I live in Michigan and always a challenge to take a decent buck. This year I’ve passed a couple of nice bucks because I’ve seen better on the trail cameras. I would like to meet you guys if you’re still in Michigan . I know great public land spots. Love your shoe.

    yep totally

  4. @passionfruiter3184 on July 5, 2025 at 12:04 pm

    Thanks for this helps a lot

  5. @joshuabarndt5063 on July 5, 2025 at 12:05 pm

    How would you do this for a bear hunt?

  6. @TomTava-y8l on July 5, 2025 at 12:06 pm

    Great video!!

  7. @outdoorlife9410 on July 5, 2025 at 12:07 pm

    Awesome video. I’m hunting here in VA so most of this really pertains to my hunting strategy. Thanks πŸ‘

  8. @jamesweidner5013 on July 5, 2025 at 12:08 pm

    What mapping software are you using?

  9. @pointeroverflow on July 5, 2025 at 12:09 pm

    I learned so much from this video, such as deer having access to GIS software and knowing where property lines are.

  10. @Joedeaton on July 5, 2025 at 12:13 pm

    So with the first instance with a buck bedding on a ridge where should I be placed down in the bottom or off to either side of the ridge on a passing trail on either side of the bed?

  11. @averageoutdoorsman9342 on July 5, 2025 at 12:13 pm

    "There’s a white tail animal!!" He cracks me up 🀣🀣🀣

  12. @perrymindo9393 on July 5, 2025 at 12:16 pm

    Hey guys i hear you refer to "CRP" pretty often. What does that stand for?

  13. @JourneyOfSkeptiks on July 5, 2025 at 12:17 pm

    Do you guys ever take a look at someone’s map for them to critique what they’ve done? I would love it if i could send you my scouting map and you could verify if I’m understanding correctly

  14. @doncook3584 on July 5, 2025 at 12:18 pm

    Question on the topi view how many feet elevation between lines? Realize this not a real recent video. Thanks

  15. @Shiloh3498 on July 5, 2025 at 12:18 pm

    great content!

  16. @ChilcoteForestryServices on July 5, 2025 at 12:19 pm

    in between the two branches of the stream, I see a high spot indicated by some trees where I assume there is marsh land tall thick stuff. there is a break in the water there in direct line with the hay fields. What is your opinion of looking for buck sign leading out of that low land headed toward the night time feed?

    HoΜ£w do u change to fall view

  19. @Homesteadyshow on July 5, 2025 at 12:22 pm

    This series has been phenomenal! Love your work guys. I moved to a new state this year and want to use these principles to help me find new spots in my new home state of PA. Nice work.

  20. @cvongall66 on July 5, 2025 at 12:23 pm

    Informative and realistic. I don’t know for sure of this location. But I think you just shot a nice buck there at the end of October (9 months) after the release of this video.

  21. @joshmccallie4537 on July 5, 2025 at 12:23 pm

    How does the map in work when you’re in like swampy areas the area I’m wanting to hunt is a river bottom / sunken land really want to know how you do raid the mapping in the swiper areas y’all are talking a lot about ridges on the flat land

  22. @enjoytheoutdoors101 on July 5, 2025 at 12:23 pm

    Great videoΒ and awesome work. Thanks for all the info you guys share with us, it means a lot.

  23. @darbdoppleganger on July 5, 2025 at 12:25 pm

    So I’m having a hard time doing this. If I sent you the topo of a 67acher parasol I hunt could you help me learn how to read my area

  24. @earlmartin9921 on July 5, 2025 at 12:25 pm

    This is south of the state I live in Iowa I believe

  25. @loganhockenberry5026 on July 5, 2025 at 12:26 pm

    That first area of buck bedding you found instead of finding the bucks bed wouldn’t the easiest and best way not to bump him out of his bed would be just to find the trail he uses to get up that ridge to his bed and set up on that

  26. @asdfkhieee on July 5, 2025 at 12:26 pm

    Here in southern Louisiana when you turn on the topography nothing happens, we just live in a flat swamp. Not sure how to scout what looks like nothing but thick tree cover with no hills or valleys.

  27. @martinlohrmann8250 on July 5, 2025 at 12:27 pm

    Awesome video

  28. @joelizer3519 on July 5, 2025 at 12:29 pm

    You guys are mentioning using a kayak to get in. If you get a deer how do you load It onto the kayak?

  29. @MartinRosendahl on July 5, 2025 at 12:32 pm

    Here’s what might be a dumb question. Let’s say you kayak across to that spot at the end of the video and shoot a booner. How do you get him out of there? Do you strap him to your kayak and hope to not tip over while paddling back? Or is the plan to drag him over the hilltop back to that access road?

  30. @markgrenier6787 on July 5, 2025 at 12:33 pm

    Thank you so much for these teachings.I’m sure you hear this all the time but it’s really changed the way that I hunt now I’ve been hunting for a long time and I long to be successful and now I feel I have a chance again I’m 63 years old and I’m out into the woods as often as I can ; 3 or 4 times a week. There was a moment in your hunting history where it all came together, where it crystallized, can you please tell me what did for you to put it all together,that one moment where you said" I got this"

  31. @Bow-Fiend on July 5, 2025 at 12:39 pm

    Someone buy these guys a beer.

  32. @PublicLandWhitetails on July 5, 2025 at 12:40 pm

    When your watching a 4 year old scouting video and you start to realize your 4 years behind THP on stand Locations & all your summer scouting was just checking in for them. Lol πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈπŸ˜‚

  33. @mattleahy1548 on July 5, 2025 at 12:42 pm

    Thank you for doing what you do. I’m a public land hunter and I’ve learned so much from you guys. Keep up the good work.

  34. @GRockBlues on July 5, 2025 at 12:42 pm

    Definitely a young man’s game…canoes kayaks etc…better be a booner at the end of this effort!…hats off to you guys!

  35. @Gokywildcats11 on July 5, 2025 at 12:43 pm

    I’m going on a 5 day crossbow hunt next week. Will you give some advice. Gonna be at dale hallow state park in ky, I don’t have on x and don’t know how to read a topo map

  36. @OURICO45 on July 5, 2025 at 12:44 pm

    What is CRP?

  37. @TrialsProgression on July 5, 2025 at 12:45 pm

    Tremendous information, presentation with sharing screen and overall helpful video. You guys rock at putting this together.

  38. @richstafford1245 on July 5, 2025 at 12:46 pm

    Great videos. Quick question. If bucks normally are bedding on a side hill bench facing a east creek bottom on a westerly wind. Would they still bed there with a north or south wind? Thanks again.

  39. @chrismatthews228 on July 5, 2025 at 12:46 pm

    Hey. I just attempted to use THP discount code and onx said it was invalid. Did it expire already?!?

  40. @jonah1821 on July 5, 2025 at 12:49 pm

    How did you determine those "Area with likely hunting pressure"?

  41. @KyleDonaldson-StatePolice- on July 5, 2025 at 12:50 pm

    This is a great video. I struggle to determine which bends are high and which are low. I spend more time trying to figure that out than anything

  42. @stevenadavis8 on July 5, 2025 at 12:51 pm

    Great info.. But still feels overwhelming for a newbie… have you guys ever considered accessing requested public land and giving a couple of suggested areas to really look at. I purchased onX with your discount code. Thanks btw. I’m sure you guys kill it now your podcast and youtube have taken off but I would pay $ for your experience and suggestions just giving me 4 or 5 key places to hone in on in my general area and possible suggestions on accessing those points.

  43. @nate_stanton on July 5, 2025 at 12:52 pm

    These videos have completely changed the way I hunt and scout.

  44. @sethvann5751 on July 5, 2025 at 12:54 pm

    You guys in Alabama?

  45. @matthewsims359 on July 5, 2025 at 12:56 pm

    I love yalls hunting videos but these videos like this are much needed. As i can see from the comments, yall are helping a lot of people, including me. Its also helping me to use the onx map and more understand what im looking at. Great info. Stay safe everybody

  46. @VelcroCross on July 5, 2025 at 12:56 pm

    I love you guys and this channel so much. You don’t happen to have a discord or IG where you help people evaluate land do you? I’d love to watch you go through a piece of property I hunt on onx with me so I can learn for myself.

  47. @lp7064 on July 5, 2025 at 12:57 pm

    Do you guys have any tips for escouting eastern turkeys?

  48. @tomwoods8678 on July 5, 2025 at 12:58 pm

    You seriously just marked my tree at 6:15. Im not joking!!!! It’s a good walk in and out, lots of racoon at night on the way out, they like to follow close behind. You’re wrong on the wind also. If it’s blowing from the northwest it will blow out on the northwest because it blows over the ridges and comes back up the ravine your in. The thing is to get in around 3:30-4am and wait until they come back from their nightly feeding from the East. That way your scent will be dissipated by 6-ish. Been there done that.

  49. @aarondhermanson on July 5, 2025 at 12:59 pm

    Thank you for making all these awesome videos. I’m in Iowa and just starting to get into hunting. your videos have been helping me a lot.

  50. @mikevernacchio5384 on July 5, 2025 at 12:59 pm

    Why not the oxbow a little north of your spots?
