Ep. 11: Hunting Hot Deer Sign, An 8-Point Buck, and Going Off Grid (w/Andy Musser)

37 minutes

Dan has an incredible encounter with an 8-Point on Public Land, I have multiple deer come into me, and Andy Musser joins us again as Dan and I commence the first annual deer tour between Andy's Private Land and off the grid cabin and then we shift to our cabin in the mountains of central Pennsylvania. We've got all this and a bunch of bow hunting beginner lessons learned that will definitely help you when you get into the situations we got into this past week.

In this episode, we get into the nitty-gritty of scouting and hunting on Andy's off-the-grid cabin on his 64-acre property in south central PA. We share firsthand experiences from a couple recent hunts, breaking down the challenges and opportunities that come with understanding deer behavior and navigating different terrains and obstacles. We then go into how we travel to our camp in central PA and go hunting in the state forest there and how those hunts go.
