    In this episode, John and Zach discuss hunting during the late season on heavily pressured public land. Public land can feel over-pressured during the late season but there are usually still some really good opportunities during the end of the season. Due to John's occupation, over the years he has had a lot of time to target mature bucks on public land during the second half of the season. Zach and John discuss the challenges and benefits of late season hunting, how they find un-pressured areas, and their  focus on food sources and bedding areas to pattern deer. They also discuss how a variety of weather conditions changes their strategy for that given day and how those weather conditions impact deer movement. They also discuss the challenges of finding fresh sign in lower deer density areas and what buck sign they expect to see in different habitats and terrain. Finally, they explain how they both value learning from hunting experiences in different areas and the importance of making informed theories based on observations and how that helps them stay persistent and confident.  Topics Include:  -overcoming the frustration of hunting public land after it has already been hit hard all season -what buck sign to look for during late season hunts and how that may change based off of deer density -how far mature bucks move in daylight during the late season -how to adjust to different weather conditions (other than cold and snow) to anticipate buck movement  -wind shift bedding and how to capitalize on it NEW THP VIDEO PODCAST CHANNEL! - https://www.youtube.com/@thehuntingpublicpodcast/videos THP MERCH:  https://bit.ly/30ZC1rm - Get 10% off THP Merch w/Code ZACH GoWild - https://bit.ly/3QFDWdj OPTICS - 10% off Vortex Optics w/code THP10 - https://bit.ly/3AOdKDQ TURKEY CALLS - Get 10% off Woodhaven Calls w/coupon code - THP2022 - http://bit.ly/2IagiSe MAPPING - Get 20% Off OnX Hunt!

    #286 - Studying BUCK MOVEMENT w/Luke Resop from the MSU DEER LAB

    Play Episode Listen Later Dec 27, 2023 69:34


    Luke Resop is studying to get his PHD at Mississippi State University which is the home of the MSU Deer Lab. In this conversation, Luke and Zach discuss various topics related to deer hunting and deer management. Luke shares his personal background and how he got into studying deer. They also discuss the individuality of deer and how each buck has its own personality and movement patterns. They touch on the difference between facts found through research and hunting lore, as well as the impact moon phase, weather, and hunting pressure have on deer movement. Finally, they explore the timing and duration of the rut and how it can vary depending on location. Luke and Zach also discuss the importance of spending time in the field throughout the whole season and how you may always have a chance to find crazy rut action not matter what month of the season you are hunting. Finally, the idea of bucks being related based on similar antler characteristics is debunked. TOPICS INCLUDE: -Deer are individuals and each buck has its own personality and movement patterns. -The difference between the peak of rutting activity and the peak of breeding. -Moon phase and it's impact on deer movement. -When is the rut over? -Antler characteristics are not a reliable indicator of bucks being related.
