Listen Later

In this episode of the Nine Finger Chronicles podcast, host Dan Johnson is joined by Tom Waters to discuss Tom's recent Kentucky Velvet Buck hunt. They start by reminiscing about the music they listened to growing up, including classic rock, country, and rap. Then, they dive into the details of Tom's hunt, including how he discovered the buck and his baiting strategy. Tom explains that he had been scouting the area for years but only saw the buck for the first time this summer. He also shares his feeder schedule and how he uses it to slow down the deer movement. The conversation concludes with a discussion about the buck's movement patterns and Tom's setup distance from the feeder. Tom Waters shares his experience of harvesting a velvet buck on his property. He explains that he was hunting from a blind near a feeder when the buck showed up. Tom discusses how the deer behavior changes when they shed their velvet and become more aware. He also talks about the deer population in his area, the influence of agriculture on deer movement, and the low hunting pressure on his property. Tom shares his shot placement and tracking experience, as well as his choice of broadheads. He mentions his plans to hunt on public land and donate deer to Kentucky Hunters for the Hungry.
