In today's episode, we have a familiar face back in the office, Steve Sherk from Sherk's Guide Service. Steve spends more time in the woods in one year than most hunters do in 10 years. Steve runs over 250 trail cameras in the Pennsylvania big woods every season has has learned a few things about summertime buck movement and how it coorelates to hunting season movement. We discuss:

• Late summer excursions by bucks provide insights into their fall range and food sources.
• Cutting tracks in conjunction with camera footage can help identify specific deer locations.
• Move around and shift camera positions to keep up with changing browse patterns.
• Stay updated on changes in habitat and browse sources, especially in public land areas that are constantly evolving.
• Lack of moisture can result in lower quality browse and affect the production of fall food sources.
• Be aware of the feeding patterns and the one-time opportunity to eat certain plants.
• Monitor antler growth and look for clues in weather patterns, such as increased moisture, which can spur growth.
• Factors like precipitation and weather conditions can influence antler growth in deer.
• Video mode on trail cameras offers more information than photo mode.
• Maintaining trail cameras during the summer is crucial to ensure they are not obscured by vegetation and remain functional.
• Monitoring food sources, like acorns and apple crops, can help predict deer movement during hunting season.
• Spend time glassing young clear cuts, as they can provide excellent food sources and attract deer.
