This week, Greg and Eric chat with Buddy Piland from Ozonics about how to read and mitigate the wind. We take a few caller questions, too. One from how to set up stands on private land over food plots when considering predominant wind directions and another from a hunter in VA who primarily hunts the public land of the appellation mountains and how the wind, thermals, and other variables make it extremely challenging to get an opportunity on a shooter buck.

Is the October lull really a thing? Who knows!? Derek shares some of his un-lull-like hunting activity. Eric has a general lull from hunting, and Greg has a lull of success when attempting putting down some does. Everyone's version of the October lull might be different. We took this opportunity in the so-called lull to chat with the folks from Code of Silence and learn about how their unique camouflage can enable bow hunters, and more specifically Okayest Hunters like ourselves, to capitalize on opportunities when our time is valued at a high level, especially during lulls.
