Sportsmen's Empire - Whitetail Hunting

The rut is right around the corner! And with it comes perhaps the best opportunity of tagging a buck you will have all season. But some terrain can be more difficult to tackle than others. The big woods is one of those settings. How should you go about hunting the big woods during the rut?

This week on the How to Hunt Deer Podcast, Josh talks with Jeremy and Dimitri from the Antler Up Podcast about hunting big woods bucks during the rut. Jeremy and Dimitri cohost the Antler Up Podcast and hunt the big woods of Pennsylvania. The guys discuss their favorite setups, when to stay and when to leave a spot, and how buck sign factors into their hunting plans.

You can find more from Antler Up Outdoors on their website or by tuning in to their podcast.

In today's episode of the DIY Sportsman podcast, Garrett breaks down clothing for the rut. The rut entails two major considerations - wild ranges of potential temperature and weather along with sitting all day. In just the last couple of years in the upper midwest, temperatures have ranged from as warm as 70 degrees to below zero. True all day sits don't give much of an opportunity to recharge your metabolism throughout the day, meaning that it's easy to feel like your clothing warmth is underperforming if you don't plan correctly. 

Garrett covers keeping your feet dry and warm, choosing appropriate base layers, layers worn into the woods, and layers packed in along with accessories to keep hands and head warm and dry. For the purposes of the rut, Garrett's general plan and recommendation has shifted somewhat over the years from being more efficient while packing to being more functional while in the tree while making minimal compromises.

On this episode fo the Nine Finger Chronicles, Dan talks with Kevin Fleury about shooting two archery bucks on opening day in Michigan. Kevin breaks down how he identified deer movement from previous years experience. He talks about how he used waterways to access stand locations past the pressure of hunters but before the bedding areas where deer were coming from. As you will hear, access routes and having the proper wind direction played a huge role in pulling off this hunt. If you are a public land hunter, this episode will be totally relatable. Enjoy!

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 143 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode I was joined by none other than Troy Pottenger. This could be a great week for deer hunting no matter where you are in the country and some more great times in the woods are ahead. Troy explains the importance of a scrape and how hunting scrapes have molded his hunting style to figure out mature whitetail bucks. This episode has a ton of information with specific stories that go along with each strategy that Troy shares. Early on in the podcast Troy talks about a pattern to specific months when it comes to killing whitetails. How he prioritizes hunting community scrapes in October, correlation with cold fronts and bucks hitting scrapes, the importance of terrain features to create a mock scrape on or where to locate these primetime scrapes.  

This is a great podcast to get out a pen and paper for and write down what Troy is spitting out. You hear it in his voice just how passionate Troy is about this stuff and I am thankful that he took the time to share all this information with me and the listeners! Hope you enjoy this episode and look forward to next week! Antler Up!
