Man I love catching Matt’s videos. The knowledge and content he shares is super helpful

Yes, I seek lower hunter pressure over anything else. Furthermore, as for Rut funnels over Doe areas...I prefer rut routes; fewer noses and eyes to bust you. I try to find a "quick, quieter access" as well. Quick in. Fewer eyes & noses. Limit your visits...That's my over-simplified technique! Love your site. It's the BEST!!

As a 76 year old hunter I’ve hunted every way possible and it’s all good. Now I just sit in my blind with bow, cross bow, muzzle loader or rifle. I only hunt for one mature buck a year to have an excuse to spend more time hunting

Good question. I have a spot on my farm that is both a pinch point and a doe bedding area beside a tiny food plot. Because of these key points I don’t want to hunt any other spot on my farm.

if you think hunting northern MN is bad try hunting the UP in the Superior snow belt lmao

I've bear hunted up in that area a couple times. Bear everywhere. Never saw a deer. Red Lake area l am guessing you are at.

Excellent video. I'm guessing you're a teacher?

I enjoy the hunt. I don't need to choot a 150 incher to impress my buddies or to feel more superior to another hunter with a smaller buckdeer. People need to stop listening to these so called "pros". According to the "pros" you'll choot more bucks sitting on your couch. Go back in time and tell your grandpa not to hunt this week because the wind is bad, or it's too warm, he'd backhand your ass. Get out there and hunt, east wind, rain, what have you. I do quite well, freezer always full, and I hunt any chance I can, as grandpa and so on did. I've never shot a deer from my couch, and I don't know anybody who has. I understand it's a saying about the weather, but still, dumb.

I see more deer near the does. But I'm not after DEER. I KILL mature bucks in the funnels but they are very boring to hunt a lot of times. <br><br>Bigger issue is I now hunt in the south mostly again. Not many "funnels" down here. Mostly one big arse thicket
