0:00.0	What's going on everybody in this episode? We're going to be talking about the lockdown phase of the rut, which is always an interesting topic to me because it seems like a lot of hunters dread this time of the
0:13.0	h h h p it's something that we look forward to every year it seems like when the majority of bucks are locked down with those in heat
0:22.2	the bucks are the most vulnerable that they are the whole season.
0:27.0	Most of the year, mature bucks are kind of by themselves or in bachelor groups, but when they're
0:31.8	laying down with those during the day and are
0:34.6	considered locked down with those do's that are extremely defensive and they want to
0:40.1	do whatever it takes to keep that dough for themselves So that puts them in some pretty vulnerable
0:44.9	positions and allows for some pretty unique tactics during that time of the year
0:49.2	that may not work as well during earlier or later parts of the season. So in this episode

1:13.2	We got a bunch of new camo stuff in and one of the things that I'm really fired up about
1:18.8	is the fleece vest and the fleece long sleeve.
1:22.4	For years you've seen me wear a cabella's fleece
1:25.2	vest. I've always liked wearing a vest for bow hunting. It just allows you to
1:29.5	draw the bow a little bit easier but also keeps your core warm and now we have our own version of a fleece
1:36.2	vest. So we also have a long sleeve version. Both of those are full zip and they're pretty
1:41.2	warm and they're pretty awesome. So if you have any interest in adding
1:45.7	something to your layering system this fall, check out the hunting public.com. We also have a whole bunch
