In this episode, Talon sits down with Clay Harper to break down how he consistently finds the right kind of bucks when he travels out of state — the ones that set up easy, make mistakes, and can be patterned fast on limited time.

Clay lays out his process for identifying killable deer in new terrain, what he looks for on maps before he ever leaves home, and how he adjusts when boots hit the ground. We dive into how rut behavior changes his strategy, how to avoid wasting time on “dead” areas, and the specific sign he keys in on when he knows a buck is huntable.

Clay also shares a really cool part of his hunting life — how he includes his son, what he’s teaching him, and the hunts they’ve shared together.
