    Hey what is that app you are using?

  2. @davidshackelford4550 on December 10, 2024 at 9:23 pm

    What program were you using on your phone?

  3. @apoc8265 on December 10, 2024 at 9:24 pm

    Great video alot of good knowledge, my only dislikes is corn, you’re surrounded by AG and your not gonna be able to compete, save money time… i get your trying to get as much info on new property with camera’s etc but just not worth doing especially when food is literally 100 yards any direction! the other is touching the rubs, now you’re scent is all over the rubs, the key is to slip in and out without them knowing your there as much as possible. those two things are the only thing i disagreed but you covered alot of great stuff, good work đź‘Ť

  4. @jwilli671 on December 10, 2024 at 9:24 pm

    Just got 260 acres in Alabama of all hardwoods and this helped me

  5. @jackodonnell3463 on December 10, 2024 at 9:25 pm

    Exactly the information I’m looking for, thank you.

  6. @brycecopeland3706 on December 10, 2024 at 9:26 pm

    Would love to learn more from you , keep the vids coming , I could never get a grasp on scouting but this is a huge start . Thx man!

  7. @rylandrummonds on December 10, 2024 at 9:27 pm

    Agree with the others, really enjoy these kinds of videos. Keep up the good work!
    Did OnX sponsor you? Just curious!

  8. @richardtrowell8812 on December 10, 2024 at 9:28 pm

    Good information on how to scout an area. Would have liked more information on how you intended to access the area undetected. As well as how the wind affected how you hunted it. Stand placement how you determined that other than by sign. Hunting a small patch of woods is difficult. Good luck.

  9. @professorsteel4074 on December 10, 2024 at 9:30 pm

    Any luck on this ohio property?

  10. @dirtlegchaser2424 on December 10, 2024 at 9:30 pm

    what the heck is a deer?

  11. @melvinsacromentoe on December 10, 2024 at 9:32 pm

    Nice video glad I found your channel

  12. @DonutVIP on December 10, 2024 at 9:34 pm

    If only I can get permission to hunt on private land, hate going to state and public land, gonna try early this year, really wanna get something bigger then my 10 pointer

  13. @patrickwilson619 on December 10, 2024 at 9:37 pm

    I can tell you for sure those rubs aren’t his bedding area. It’s in the wide open & I’ve never seen a mature buck bed in wide open woods where you can see 100 yards or more like that.

  14. @coreyhall3692 on December 10, 2024 at 9:39 pm

    As someone new into the bow hunt scene and trying to learn the ropes of scouting, have ever used a drone to spot deer bedding? Or know of anyone that uses a drown? Or what your thoughts are of using drown all together?

    Also, what’s your typical approach on getting in contact with private land owners without coming off as intrusive?

    Would love to learn more!

  15. @petelincoln7980 on December 10, 2024 at 9:39 pm

    I would like to see more videos like this in the future!

  16. @MountainMan7.62x39 on December 10, 2024 at 9:41 pm

    I’m brand new to deer hunting and I appreciate your video. It gave me some thing to think about.

  17. @thirdtooth4069 on December 10, 2024 at 9:41 pm

    All the "hunting for beginners" videos i watch talk about gear and licensing. THIS is the type of stuff I actually can’t just figure out on my own. THANK YOU

  18. @gregsmith9862 on December 10, 2024 at 9:41 pm

    Great content, hope you got some nice bucks. The video was jerky and a little disorienting to watch. Slowing down your movements and holding steadier will improve the presentation and enhance the experience. Keep up the good work.

  19. @brookwilliamson9719 on December 10, 2024 at 9:42 pm

    new to scouting as a young hunter, what would u recommend doing in a small private area with a crop field, and a small patch of woods. does scent matter when scouting in late summer? would love to hear from you, love the vids man.

  20. @jakeirwin7579 on December 10, 2024 at 9:43 pm

    Favorite video yet, Love listening to the scouting tactics. share more of your knowledge with us.

  21. @KamrinsCutsandCleanups on December 10, 2024 at 9:44 pm

    Part 2?

  22. @dacomy on December 10, 2024 at 9:45 pm

    Definitely picked up some good information on this video. Liked and subscribed!

  23. @OhStepMechanic on December 10, 2024 at 9:47 pm

    I hope you keep us updated with your hunt, this was super informative!

  24. @tim7325 on December 10, 2024 at 9:47 pm

    Nice video, informative.

  25. @ODFD_ on December 10, 2024 at 9:48 pm

    Ive wanted my own land for years and finally got a house on 15 acres.. watched this to get a idea on how to scout.. the previous home owner said the property is flooded with deer so im looking forward to a successful season.

  26. @Eastky23wildlife on December 10, 2024 at 9:49 pm

    I live in Appalachia myt should I hang my cam that high also?

  27. @trimmin420 on December 10, 2024 at 9:52 pm

    Does onX have a wind indicator?

  28. @adampark2310 on December 10, 2024 at 9:53 pm

    You had me until “sling a bag of corn over my shoulder.” That shit ain’t hunting. Embarrassing

  29. @ronaldwalters6027 on December 10, 2024 at 9:55 pm

    Good work man, a little work, them good things come to those that weight

  30. @dalanwanbdiska6542 on December 10, 2024 at 9:55 pm

    Corn gives deer the shits.

  31. @gavinnance6066 on December 10, 2024 at 9:57 pm

    Where at in Ohio I’m in Lorain country

  32. @504daron on December 10, 2024 at 9:59 pm

    Is there a follow up 2 this video?!? Any bucks on the cams u set up etc

  33. @seandorey3282 on December 10, 2024 at 10:02 pm

    These are the types of videos I’m trying to see more of. Really want to step it up scouting this year.

  34. @arthurmarshall8326 on December 10, 2024 at 10:05 pm

    U know what might be fun. U could hunt those deer instead of baiting them.

  35. @LD-qj2te on December 10, 2024 at 10:05 pm

    Hey I am in north central Ohio and going to look at a new property

  36. @stevegraves2968 on December 10, 2024 at 10:06 pm

    Blizzard out here.
    Well that told me enough.

  37. @joshross1775 on December 10, 2024 at 10:08 pm

    thanks for the video it’s what i was looking for

  38. @menumlor9432 on December 10, 2024 at 10:08 pm

    12:22

    Those are some of the best finds. A scrape. I found my scrape last season and bucks still visit it. Only me and buddy knows about it.

  39. @deathharpproductions3094 on December 10, 2024 at 10:10 pm

    Great Job!

  40. @johngarrie2633 on December 10, 2024 at 10:10 pm

    Just subscribed like your video this is the kind of videos that people learn from so happy you was able to get your own land keep us updated on your hunt . thank you buddy good luck

  41. @brianx2504 on December 10, 2024 at 10:11 pm

    Good video. Is it best to scout in winter after deer season? I think a lot of this could be less obvious when everything is green and tall in late summer

  42. @jacobpearce8940 on December 10, 2024 at 10:13 pm

    Iam new at this and this video really helped me understand what to look for when scouting an area look forward to more videos

  43. @504daron on December 10, 2024 at 10:15 pm

    Btw thx good stuff … we headin up in sept to do EXACTLY this!!! PUMPED

  44. @dcq5381 on December 10, 2024 at 10:15 pm

    I have access to a 40 acre parsel connected to 4500 acre state forest. This year I have not seen deer and not much sign. Got does on cam at night and just before and after hunting hours. I’m in a no bait state. Any suggestions if you’re not seeing a lot of great sign like you had in this video?

  45. @504daron on December 10, 2024 at 10:17 pm

    Like 2 see results?

  46. @franceso32 on December 10, 2024 at 10:17 pm

    how high did you put the cam ?

  47. @Jeff-vx3gl on December 10, 2024 at 10:18 pm

    Why put corn down after doing all the scouting? Find the spots you know deer are traveling, and “hunt” them….

  48. @DeadfallDave161 on December 10, 2024 at 10:19 pm

    Just started getting back in the deer woods
    after a decade.Scouting property is a good idea,hoping to do more of it this coming season.

  49. @ravi1singh on December 10, 2024 at 10:19 pm

    Thanks buds – nicely done – best of luck getting that trophy đź‘Ť this season

  50. @AintLifeGrandRV on December 10, 2024 at 10:20 pm

    Blizzard..
