On this episode, we talk to Nic De Castro from Landtrust.com. Nic is the founding owner of Land Trust. If you haven't heard of them, they are like Airbnb for hunting and recreational property. It's a really interesting model that connects outdoor enthusiasts with private land owners. We got into all of that and much more on this week's episode.

On this episode of Full Draw Friday, Canyon talks about the second rut. He discusses what it is, why it happens, and how to hunt it. While most does have been bred by now, there are still some that will be in estrous throughout the rest of the season. If you're lucky and play your cards right, you just might catch a mature buck chasing one by your stand.

On this Full Draw Friday, Canyon talks late November strategy for finding bucks. It can be a weird time, because the bucks still want to rut, while the does are ready to go back to food. That can play to your advantage though if you know where to go. That's what this episode is all about! Hopefully these strategies will help you tag a late November buck this season.

On this episode of Full Draw Friday, Canyon talks strategies for the rut lockdown. The lockdown can be a tough time to hunt. Bucks can be all but impossible to see, does are also in hiding, and overall movement can be very subdued. However, there are still plenty of mature bucks taken every year during this phase. A lot of them are taken using the tactics discussed in this episode. Implement them this year and see if they work for you too!

On this episode of Full Draw Friday, Canyon talks early rut strategies. There are plenty of strategies that work for the entire rut, but if you break it into phases, you can be successful even more consistently. Good luck to everyone and enjoy the best month of the year!
