This week on the Michigan Wild Podcast, Marcus is riding solo to recap his early season whitetail hunts. He talks about the property that he is hunting, how long he's been hunting it and what his first two sits have yielded. Marcus gives a brief history on his success on the property in previous years along with some moves he's made this year that he doesn't typically condone. The early season can be some of the best times to hunt during the year if you're lucky enough to still catch deer in some summer patterns, or it can just be the early stages of a long drawn out season. Either way, getting back into the woods is always a good thing and continuing to increase your knowledge of whitetail and their movements helps. There's a lot of season ahead, so keep grinding wherever you're at!
