    My goodness the amount of spraying you guys do is insane. Without bias can you guys please look into toxicity reports of your soil and wildlife please. I’ve been watching studies about this and the chemicals are traveling to soil, then plants, then animals and into us. If it’s safe would you drink a teaspoon of it? I feel we take the word of these billion dollar companies just for convenience without really looking into consequences. I love you guys but I’m concerned that we don’t look at long term effects because something is easier.

    So i question your opinion on saying there isn't a Second rut. So are you saying that if a doe is not bred during a certain window in fall, they dont re-cycle and enter into a second estrous until she is bred? To me not only have i seen second and third ruts, but i have a hard time believing that all does are bred when they first come into estrus. You would have way too many does without fawns every spring. Sorry guys. I guess we all can have our own opinions but this has been proven and vetted that there is indeed more than one rut.

      @@chasinggiantswithhigginsou6147 so it's a technicality? You yourself stated that a doe can cycle 30 days later in this video. Ok so there is a rut but a doe can re cycle and be bred. That I believe is what would be called a second rut( 30 days later) . And you also answered your own question about fawns. If they reach the proper weight they can go into estrus. What happens if that is in January?? Welp. Guess what she will be bred. Third rut. Having one enclosure in an isolated area no matter how long you studied doesn't prove a thing. Sorry man, got to go against you on this one. Support alot of what you preach but not this. I may not shoot 200" deer like you but I certainly am not blind to he fact of what I see in the woods and what vetted science says over a broad spectrum and not just one little enclosure .

    I use to hunt the wind to extreme till i shot cpl 140-150 class bucks that circled downwind when i was calling and ended up getting them anyways. If you’re serious about your scent and use cover scent and luring scent in a triangle position then u can get away with it (especially if your high up in a tree), if not yeah you’ll get busted every time if your not serious about your scent and set up where deer are coming downwind. I hunt off the ground most days in archery, have had 120 class bucks on many occasions walk within cpl yds from me that came from downwind. I do like hunting wind if i have the chance and when there’s an obstacle downwind….just an example a pond behind me or thicket of downed trees where buck or people can’t get threw. People are amazed with the buck i get off the ground using no blinds besides maybe natural blinds like tall grass an others. Have gotten couple big toms off the ground with my bow too. Make sure your hunting clothes don’t have any UV in it also.

    My experience with organized religion is polar opposite. Multiple denominations. One of my family are Catholics and the other side is a potpourri of others so I have had a taste of many. They were all snake pits. I have never experienced more drama and jealousy and bitterness anywhere else in life. The majority often festered from the top down. When I hear others discussing church and organized religion I can’t help but feel like either my eyes are lying or many others are blind…

      one of the biggest problems with Christianity is "organized religion". Man has to throw in his own opinions and ideas while ignoring scripture. I would have a real issue myself going to any denominational church today; too many rules that are not supported by scripture (just my opinion). Men will always disappoint but Jesus never does.
