So in this wrapup podcast I interview 5 of our guests and specifically ask them their top public land setup or tactic. Guests include John Eberhart who is a well-known public land expert and saddle hunting "godfather" and whom was on a previous public land series episode (#16), Dr. Clint McCoy who is a writer for North American Whitetail and consistent big buck slayer in Illinois - he will be on future episodes about private land advanced tactics, Doug Roberts of Conquest Scents (also deer farmer of 32 years) who was on episode #'s 7 & 10 "to be in a deer's head" and whom will discuss the controversial topic of CWD later this year, Dr. Jimmy Sites who is producer of Spiritual Outdoors Adventures TV show - on a future episode about conservation and stewardship, and Dr. Jeff Kelly who was on episode #'s 13 & 14 about hunting out of state & how to seal the deal in limited time. Plus I ask DNR Biologist Chad Stewart about the solution to pressured public lands... These are quick-hitting tips without a lot of fluff, so enjoy this concise episode of Deer IQ!

We are looking at the much debated topic of "scent control" or being "scent-free," and if that's even possible. Many don't think so, but I'll outline my exact regimen, and what it takes to actually fool a deer's nose enough to get shots instead of getting busted. From my years of experience I see a stark difference between using a scent-free regimen, and not. If you have an open mind on the topic, listen on - there are a lot of practical things you can do to help in this area and really up your game and IQ. Be Warned - it is a lot of work and not for the faint of heart. And, I talk a little fast because there's soo much good content to absorb - so get that journal and try to keep up!

Public Land Hunting has changed in the recent years, with pressure rising due to several factors, including less access to private and popularity due to social media. But do you have the tools needed to get on and consistently take mature deer on ultra-pressured public lands? In this series, we'll look at what it takes and new approaches from top experts to help get you in the game. This is part 2 with our very successful public land hunting guest Jeff Kelly, who has harvested big bucks consistently all over the country for the past 20 years. We dive into specific failures and successes Jeff has had, and discuss the adapt or persist paradox (do you change or persist for success?), how to make the last part of your hunt the best part instead of it being over-pressured by you, and how to know when to stop scouting and start hunting (for best success). All critical things for public land hunters, and much more! Also, be aware this was our very first episode recorded and there were some audio/video issues we had to work around (solved in subsequent episodes), so there are still some pops & clicks in here that couldn't be removed. Still, its a great episode and definitely worth the listen!
