Hey everyone, welcome to episode 163 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode I was joined by two friends of mine Aaron Hepler and Dan Johnson. The three of us had a great discussion about what we as hunters can be doing now to not suck come fall! This ended up being a little different chat about scouting than normal. When you dive into the episode you will know what I mean!

To start this episode off we chat about how Dan doesn’t necessarily use an all year approach to hunting but rather a property approach. After listening back to this episode I found myself relating more to what Dan was saying because of the certain private pieces that I end up hunting in the fall. Dan talks about putting his stake in the intel that he has gained from previous hunting seasons, rather than post-season scouting to put himself into better positions. One topic that comes out of this is how Dan has developed to scout better while hunting, but when he does get out now to walk a property it allows him to micro manage stand locations for specific spots!

We get into other hunting strategies,from terrain features focused when e-scouting & hunting, using cameras to help get a better understanding of deer movement, kick-off points and Dan’s golden rule when it comes to whitetail hunting. It was a great pleasure having Dan on the podcast! Enjoy this fun episode!  

Thanks again for all the support and best of luck out there and Antler Up!
