Public Land Hunting has changed in the recent years, with pressure skyrocketing 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. In this episode our guest is very successful public land hunter Jeff Kelly who has harvested big bucks consistently all over the country for the past 20 years. We hit some very important approaches, and ways to stop doing things to separate you from the crowd, including: the "going deep" fallacy, and what you really should be looking for, how you must e-scout differently now to avoid other hunters (and find the deer), access secrets to get you to where others just won't go, 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!

In "The Wrapup," host Adam Lewis attempts to clarify the hazy stuff, and share what he's learned or thought was of exceptional note - like highlight and put in bold or all caps, from these past few series or episodes (6 Barriers great hunters overcome, and to be in a deer’s head). He addresses 2 controversies and gives his solutions (Are 3.5 year olds shooters, should we habituate bucks or be ultra stealthy?), gives a easy method to age bucks, and gives three suggestions to prod us on our journey to become greater deer hunters.
