Guest: Tyler Wilbur

In this episode, Tyler Wilbur joins the show to talk about what it takes to consistently chase mature bucks, starting with the work that gets done in the off-season.

They discuss “safe havens”—those thick, overlooked areas where bucks feel secure and spend most of their time. He shares how identifying and accessing these spots can be the difference maker, especially when targeting older deer. The conversation also dives into the challenges of hunting public land, from dealing with pressure to constantly adapting to other hunters. Tyler emphasizes staying mobile, thinking differently, and being willing to go where others won’t. Thank you for listening, and hope you enjoy!
