Summer Scouting - 23
Recently, I spent a few vacation days bass fishing on Kentucky and Barkley Lakes. The topwater action just after daylight and right at dark was very explosive to say the least. My family and I were able to catch a boatload of bass, but it was hard to concentrate on the fishing with all of the velvet bucks running around. The Land Between the Lakes region has just the right combination of hardwoods, thickets, woodlots and agricultural fields to produce some top-heavy bruisers. About a week of seeing bachelor groups of bucks in full velvet was more than enough to get me fired-up for the upcoming season. In fact, lately I’ve been spending all of my free time in the field scouting for the upcoming early archery season. The summer months are the perfect time to glass field edges and cool watering holes for giant pre-season bucks. Here are some hot-summer scouting tips that can help you pinpoint and pattern some shooter bucks right now.
1.Ignore the Heat Without question, 100 degree weather can keep a lot of us indoors with the air-condition running full blast. However, ignoring the heat and spending a little time scouting can payoff with a monster buck on opening day. The trick is to scout smarter not harder during the summer months. For example, throw a good pair of optics into your truck and cruise potential hunting areas during the late evening hours. Focus on summer food sources like apple trees or agricultural fields when the temperatures start cooling down. After locating a bachelor group of bucks, try sneaking into the food source during the midday hours and hang a trail camera near possible buck entry trails. Secluded watering holes and mineral-lick sites can also be hotspots to setup trail-cam surveillance.
2.Create Some Options With deer hunting, you should never place all of your eggs in one basket! Concentrating on one hunting location or a single buck can potentially be a painful and costly mistake. Hunting leases can be broken, buck patterns can change on private or public-land, and it’s possible your buck can fall victim to another hunter’s arrow. This is exactly why you need to have several different hunting locations and shooter bucks located during the summer months. Scouting right now to create multiple hunting options and choices can be the best move you make all season. Keep us posted on the BBZ about how your summer scouting is going so far.

I was helping a friend unload some things at his house. Anyways on the back road there was a nice buck what is not uncommon in this area we see hundreds of deer just driving the back roads but this buck was allready about 170's 5x5 I know he will grow more but I think he is smart enuff not to show his self at certin times of the year. From now on I'm packing a camera evrey where! The bucks go to steath mode soon as any pressure gets put on them . Untill the rut then we start seeing them run all over the place you see so many in peoples yards beding along side barns gathering around under basketball hoops if you where from a diffrent country and didnt know any better you would think that we have deer as pets. But that dont stop me from looking for the monster buck during the summer months like you said pays to beable to get the drop on them earley in the hunting season because they like to change patterns when the lead starts flying. When I'm fishing in these summer months I like to keep my eyes in the binos scanning close ares for a glimps of a animal I like walking the water line reading all the sign of local wildlife. From the looks of things the deer #'s grew again this year looks like alot of does close to home had twins again this year.
Travis,
The bucks down hear are just starting to go into velvet,seen two the other evening feeding together.Both appeared to be mature bucks and both had about six to eight inches of growth.Did see two pieballs running together this past week,both appeared to be does,but I only got a quick look at them going away from me.A bud of mine seen two pieballs last deer season about six miles south of us,believe they might be the same ones.Pieballs are a very rare sight for these parts,only have heard of three sightings in this area ever.

There are so many deer here scouting is almost unneccesary. lol We have had earn a buck requirements for several years now. The benefit has been an increase in buck age and size many 3-5 year olds. Some of the velvet racks make the hunters blood race. It is going to be another banner year.
Even on public land the herd is in really good shape. Most does have at least twins with triplets not uncommon.
I am taking a 14 and 15 year old out this fall on their first bow hunts. They will see lots of deer.
Charilie Elk,
What part of the country do you chase bucks in during the fall? I hunt the mountains of eastern KY and we've been seeing the same thing this summer. This area is covered up with deer right now and I can't wait until opening day. I will be checking my trail-cam this weekend and I am hoping to see a velvet giant! Keep us posted on the BBZ about what you are seeing in your home state this summer.

Dropjhook,
Keep your camera handy this summer and send me any pics your able to shoot. Just seeing big bucks in velvet keeps all of us on the BBZ fired-up and ready to rock! My email is ttfaulkner@msn.com and your more than welcome to contact me with any interesting stories or pics. I already have one trail-cam out and I am planning on setting up some more this week. I am like a little kid on Christmas morning when checking these cameras. You just never know what you're going to find. Keep us posted on the BBZ about what you're seeing in your area this summer.

Bullridingbamaboy,
Two years ago an albino 8-point showed up not far from my house. It was seen by several people and hunted hard by several hunters. As far as I know, this buck has not tagged by anyone. I would love to have a full body mount with a deer like that! Keep me up to date on these two deer this summer. Also, let me know if you get any pics.

So far so good here in IN. Looks like a healthy deer herd and some of the bucks are really packing on the head gear. My kids and I usually hit the back roads at least two to three times a week. With it staying light until around 9:30 the kids fall asleep for the night and Dad gets to dream about what might happen in just a few months.
Travis,
Going to set up two trail cams this week and also carry one of my wifes cameras with me when we are out riding.Hope to get a picture of those two pieballs if we ever see them again.That was a rare treat seeing them,even if it was for only a few seconds.Hope to have some pictures soon.

Travis the area I refer to is in Wisconsin. Except for northern parts of the state and some other isolated areas deer basically over run this state. We can buy as many tags for anterless as we want at $2 each. So the freezer is full each season. There are actually trophies killing trophies here. Found the remains of a 20" spread 16 pointer last fall who was the loser in a fight! Got pictures of the 10pt who is the suspected murderer. Needless to say my buck standards have been pretty high. That's ok as I have killed many very nice bucks with cedar arrows out of my long bow. I look forward to the kids getting some nice ones.
Most of my summer is spent in the woods and fields. Camera is out 365. In WI have permission on 4000 acres of private land and 30,000 acres public almost no one else ever seriously hunts during bow season. In MN own an island bunkhouse in the middle of 7 miles of hard to access NPS land that is open for hunting. Only about 6 guys take the time deerhunt any of that.
Surprising to most - my big bucks have all been public land. Perhaps it is because I am more likely to drop the string there than on private land figuring the bucks will be bigger next year. Besides I give the landowners some good hints they occasionally take the buck of their lifetimes - and they make sure I hunt on their land forever after that. 2 additional farmers who heard about my hunting addiction have called me requesting I hunt their farms (about 500 acres).
What they really want are some of my venison brats and a report on their farm's deer herd. Specifically if there are any big deer and where they hide. Pretty sweet deal. Beats paying for a lease.
Charilie Elk,
Being covered up with trophy bucks is a good problem to have brother! Let me know if you need any help tracking down the bruiser that murdered the buck you found. By the way, I think it's awesome that you make your own cedar arrows and hunt with a traditional long bow. Good luck this season and I would love to see any pics you have of the bucks you're talking about. My email is ttfaulkner@msn.com. Thanks for the comments.

Sorry if that last post sounded bragadocious. I really didn't mean it to. Just got pumped up a little.
Hunting is not a pastime, sport or hobby - It is a way of Life.
Charlie Elk,
The truth is not bragging. I also hunt a lot of public-land every season. In fact, my best bucks have been taken from these hard-hit areas. I love the challenge of patterning and connecting with a super smart buck that has fooled all of the competition. The bucks that require hours of scouting and planning to tag are the ones you never forget. Building a relationship with an animal and paying your dues is what it's all about. Sounds like you've already got a great season planned.

You got it Travis the animals are different on public land. I love going to a new piece cold never been on it, not knowing what is around the next bend or over the next rise. Kind of the same feeling as getting em at the buzzer. An extra challenge for sure.
Click on my name and go to my profile to see the picture of a 12 pointer arriving to camp. Used a Sky recurve - cheated on that one. lol
Haven't decided if I should upload pics of my trophy room yet. Never have entered an animal in the "book" just feels funny to me.
Later,
Charlie
relationship with the animal is a great feeling. I just have to tell a storie about a relationship between me and a whittail buck that made me respect there kind for life. I was 18 at the time in super shape life was moving to fast for me so I decided to not go straight school to contiue in sports & education I stayed home. So fall comes up quick I thought to myself gota hunt as much as I can soon I will be off into school far away from hunting. Ok so this storie takes place in where two creeks meet marshy thick cover area where plenty of deer they love to live there time on earth in that location. It was early in the year I was 18 thought I had life down sneaking down in a to these creek bottoms I look out in a open field about 1000 yards out I see whoaaa I mean whoa had to rub my eyes then refocus on the deer wow that cant be his antlers. So I pull up the binos oh my god that looks like goal posts on tope of his head.So I try to stalk on him but up jumps a herd of does laying between me and pipe racks"Pipe racks is the name he was givin" they spoiled it that time. i thought to myself he will be back in the morning hes on my home court I know this area just as good as the deer do so I tbougbt he was mine. So the next morning I'm there before dark waiting for the chance at pipe racks waiting in what i thought was the most likly place for him to pop out but no he pops out across both the creeks to far for a shot so i try to stalk again just to end up on the lossing end again & again & again this went on most of the fall. Pipe racks was out smarting me evreytime it was like he knew what I was thinking ahead of time he stayed out of shoting distance almost evreytime. So the locals where asking where is all the big bucks this year I only can reply with the truth I told them about pipe racks and I was passing on 160's daily just for another chance at him. I know it hard to belive someone without a photo but I finaly talked my father on coming down to see this monster buck that most people thought I was stretching the truth on the size of his antlers. So we hiked all day did drives for eachother in thick patchs for a glimps of pipe rack. We was dog tired to the point of giving up & calling it the day so we where about to take a break pack half way off thump,thump,thump a herd of about 30 does jump out about 15 yards away we both had are guns ready we looked at each other like dang still not him. Started to sit down thump,thump,thump again same place the sound coming from then out jumps pipe racks moving so fast hard to keep your eyes on him but harder to stay focused on him first time seen him so close. So any way he runs to where my dad was in the line of fire so no hope for a shot from me so my dad opens up with 7mm bar BOOM,BOOM,BOOM I was so used to seeing my dad drop things but no Pipe racks just as fast as he showed up he was gone. My dad was having his scope worked on so he was open sight with no rear sights. I remebering him telling me about it before we left then he said I wont shot unless its a super gager. So after he shots he turned his face told it all never seen my dad so fired up he says "that was a world record typical" "That was the bigest @*%!ing buck I have seen". So the buck lives on only to be seen once more after that I have never found one of his sheds it blows my mind how well they must be able to hide & beable to think of places where they got the uper hand. I used up my whole year up hunting pipe rack he out smarted me 100% of the time I tried evrey way I could to hunt him.That year I came home skunked for the first tine in my life thats when I relized Pipe Rack saved a good # of deer that year by out smarting me and putting me in something like a spell it got to the point to where I couldnt sleep that fall not only was he getting away he put a # on my ego or pride he taught me how too fail & how to accept failur. He was never shot or else we all would of herd about it & i would of seen the photos of him so i guess he only lives on in my mind his genetics are still here I'm waiting for pipe rack 2 to come out if he ever will sorry if it was offthe subject just the words animal relationship hit home with bringing up Pipe rack fresh to my mind again. Me & Pipe rack had a relationship like he was the "MASTA"& I was "grasshoper".
Travis, great article. Thanks for the tips. Scouting early and finding promising hunting locations definitely pay off in the fall!
Anthony,
I am glad you liked the article. We've currently got two basket-racked velvet bucks hanging out behind my house. My boy has been spending hours in the yard shooting his bow and getting ready for opening day. The "bow bug" has taken over and he is dying to tag a buck this year on his own with a bow. He has already tagged some giants with his gun and muzzle-loader. Last year he even let some pretty nice deer walk in hopes of tagging something bigger, but I am afraid these two might be in trouble when archery season opens.

Travis, this is a great article. The past couple of days have been cooler that others and my nephew and I spent a little time fixing up a place. Hope it pays off.
Bryan,
Doing a little homework right now can payoff big in the fall. Adding mineral licks, small food plots, or simply scouting can make all the difference in the world on opening day. Keep us posted on what you're seeing in the field.

hey travis, ihaven't posted in a while just finished making a move to greener pastures,now living with deer woods in back yard in a triangle 2miles from ft. knox reservation and a closed 5000,acre park above the ohio river.i've spotted some nice bucks along the roads early and late and some are quiet developed.early season hunting should include secluded water sites to ambush thirsty bucks.the lbl in western k.y is indeed a trophy paradise if you have the time to stay awhile. how to make a buck stop for a clean shot?I know how,tell you more if interested .
Hey Travis, great tips! I saw you on the outdoor channel last week! I cut it on just in time to see you shoot a very nice buck. I can't wait for bow season. It won't be long now!
