FOB Eric Barnes gives me a ton of tips on scouting and hunting state gamelands! I really appreciate his time and input on this topic as Bunjie and I spend 2020 trying to figure out how to kill a deer on public ground.

Here we discuss his hunting background, the topography of his hunting area in Williamsport, his recent successes on public ground, preconceived notions about public land, and areas he likes to hunt during different times of year. We discuss the rut and its effect on deer activity. Scouting strategies is a welcome topic for me. We discuss scent control briefly, but I expect we'll be back on this topic with another podcast before the season starts. Finally, we discuss Sunday hunting in Pennsylvania.
