On this episode of Michigan Wild, Nate and Robert McIntyre sit down and have a conversation focused on Locating a Target Buck. The process of finding a target buck can differ between hunters, however depending on circumstances and the amount of time spent in the woods can increase your odds of finding a buck to hunt. Robert spends a lot of time each year lacing up his boots and getting to work searching and learning to increase his success each fall. 

Throughout the episode the guys break down different scenarios and their strategies for finding target bucks. Be that seasonal scouting, early season, rut, late season, public, private, instate or out of state hunting. Locating a Target Buck consistently isn't something that falls into any hunters laps. Every year is a new year and sometimes it takes years of hunting/scouting to understand the system that works for you.
