90% of whitetail deer are taken on private land according to a new NDA survey. But are you really maximizing your opportunities in this area? Our series on private land whitetail deer hunting - when you're the boss, how you can manage your land for max success and NOT be part of the problem (which can be a huge problem many are not aware of)? Whether a land owner, hunt by permission, or you lease private land, this series is for you.

Our Guest in this  episode is Ty Easley of Heartland Bowhunter TV - someone you may be familiar with due to the show and his ability to film and shoot big bucks consistently (6-8 year old bucks which is very uncommon and difficult). We talk about a bunch of keys to his success, which I will say, you can do every single one of these if you have any access to private land, even if you share it with other hunters by permission. There's some really good stuff here you'll want to pay close attention to mine all the nuggets out, including:

• What Ty specifically looks for in private land when he's trying to gain access (which is usually by asking permission).
• His initial scouting strategy for new land before he even hunts, makes plots, or sets his hunting plan. 
• His method for making Kill Plots for killing specific bucks, and how this is very different than how most food plots are made. 
• How he keeps spots fresh and remain undetected to ALL deer all year.
• How to look for "tells" in bucks that you can take advantage of.
• The behind the scenes story of a buck named "Chunk"  and how he used a  specific "tell" to kill him.
• How he wrapped these tactics together to chase a HUGE buck named Dreamer, and sealed the deal after several years  - a masterclass in itself. 
... and much more!

In this episode we’re going to look at Buck Profiles - a data driven tactic that is quite possibly your best bet to kill a buck. What are they, how do you make and utilize them to push the odds in your favor? That’s what we’ll look at in this episode, and I will say this is a novel tactic that isn’t talked about much, and the system shared here was developed by me, so you won’t find it elsewhere ~ Adam
