On this episode of the Michigan Wild, Nate and Drew Hassler are LOCKED IN for the upcoming deer season! Drew has been going hard planting plots and executing a multi year plan on his property. Creating better access and establishing a hidden plot has been on the top of his list. A few unique strategies have aided in this new plot, including summer burning and creating a creek crossing. Nate finds himself in a different position with his plots this year as the property's crop rotation has been a limiting factor in 2024. However Drew and Nate discuss doing some micro plots within corn fields and standing bean fields. All with the intentions of capitalizing on shooting a buck in October.

Gear is the next topic of conversation for the guys, and they both are excited for the new things they plan on using this fall including broadheads, arrows, saddles, platforms, and backpacks Each summer Nate and Drew both like to fine tune their setups to help aid in becoming more proficient in mobile hunting on their instate and out of state hunts. Talking about gear got the guys fired up for the fall as October 1st is fast approaching along with their November Kansas hunt. Nate dives into the logistics of the Kansas hunt as he intends to make more than 1 trip, to help scout and get an idea of the terrain. Something he hopes helps him and the group get on deer quicker than past years.

Overall the guys have been preparing all summer for this fall and are locked in and ready to go, plans are being executed and the final steps are taking place. In the next few months Nate and Drew will be ready to capitalize on the salmon run and rutting bucks.
