A lot of the guests that we feature on this show like to target feed trees to hunt white-tailed deer.

Whether it's hunting white oaks, red oaks, water oaks, not all oaks, whatever the case may be, they all do things a little bit different. But there is one common theme between all of them. And that is, when you're hunting feed trees, you just need to check as many trees as you can, find that fresh hot sign, and set up. That is what's going to give you the best chance at seeing deer or seeing a buck.

Well, there's two different tools you can use that fresh hot sign and set up that is what's going to give you the best chance at seeing deer or seeing a buck well there's two different tools you can use that are seriously helpful for that the first one you've heard us talk about it is the acre and producing oak layer from on x hunt you turn it on it'll show you where the white oaks are at where the red oaks are at where it's mixed red and white oaks now there's's another one that I've used here lately, and it's

the coniferous versus deciduous layer. So it shows you what's pine trees, what's deciduous trees like oaks, and then what's a mix of both. So my new hunting club is mostly pine trees, which if you're hunting in the deep south, a lot of you guys can probably relate to that. But I turn that layer on on my Onex Hunt app, and it showed some areas of mixed pines and hardwoods that I completely missed just by looking at the satellite image. So I went and popped in, checked those areas out and sure enough found a bunch of white oaks that were kind of interspersed with these pines that are just loaded. So not only do those two layers help me find oaks faster, but it also helps me find the oaks that I'm

overlooking. So go check them out on the Onex Hunt app. And hey, if you want to try out in an elite

One of the most common questions we get is from people who are looking to get into mobile white tail hunting. They're looking at saddles, but they don't know which one to get. They don't know how to get comfortable in a saddle. And I always recommend the Lone Star Saddle from Latitude Outdoors. One thing you'll hear from a lot of people when they first get into saddle hunting is they deal with a little bit of hip pinch. That's just basically where you don't have your saddle adjusted right. And so it's kind of pinching your hips when you're sitting in the tree. It's really uncomfortable. It can take some fine-tuning to get a lot of saddles right where they're comfortable to sit in. But with that Lone Star saddle, it has a hip-pinch reduction system built into the saddle. Basically what that means is that right out of the box, this thing's going to be very, very comfortable, whether you're doing a quick early season bow hunt or if you're planning on sitting in that joker all day long in the rut. That Lone Star saddle is personally my favorite saddle, and especially if you're newer getting into saddle hunting and you're looking for something easy and comfortable, check out that Lone Star from Latitude. So to go look at the L loan star and a whole bunch of other mobile white tail gear, check out latitude outdoors.com. So y'all have heard of the hunt regs app, which as the name implies makes it very, very easy to know whether or not you're legal, get your limits, your seasons, and everything like that, whatever you might be hunting. But there's another feature in the app I want to tell you all about. It's called the Strike Smart Journal. So basically this is a journal that lives within the app. You can journal your hunt data from trail camera pictures to on-stand sightings. So if you're like me and you're a little bit of a data nerd when it comes to deer hunting, this should fire you up. When you journal your trail camera data and you're on-the-stand sightings, the app will automatically save

historical weather data for the specified time and location where you're making that journal entry.

Then over time, you can filter different variables like date ranges, time of day, weather

conditions, stand locations, target animals, and then you can display your journal entries

on graphs and tables, which just helps make those patterns very obvious.

So when you're going throughout your season, especially during the rut, you can record what your cameras are seeing as well as what you're seeing in the field. And then after you do that for a couple weeks, you're going to be able to look back and you're going to go like, hey, I notice that when we get this weather condition, that stand over here really seems to light up. So it's just a really good way of predicting

deer movement based on your property, your deer that you are hunting, because you're recording

data points for the actual deer that you are hunting. It's not based off a model of other deer

in another location. These are based off of your deer. So check it out today on the Hunt Regs app. It's
