Brenton Powers is 21 years old and already killing two public land bucks in a single season — using thermals, mobile setups, and a scouting approach most hunters never even consider.
In this episode, Brenton breaks down exactly how he tagged an archery buck AND a muzzleloader buck on mountainous public land in Virginia — including a bear encounter during recovery that you won't see coming. He also gets into his postseason shed hunting system and how he finds bucks in thick cover that everyone else walks past.
What we cover:
How Brenton killed 2 public land bucks at 21 years old
Reading thermals on mountain terrain (the strategy most hunters ignore)
Mobile stand setups for pressured whitetails
Running a primary AND secondary setup — why it matters
Shed hunting in thick cover to find overlooked public land spots
Hunting around a busy schedule without sacrificing success
A bear encounter mid-recovery 🐻
Whether you're chasing whitetails on public land or trying to level up your deer hunting strategy, Brenton's approach is a masterclass in doing more with less.
🎙️ Hunt The Season Podcast — Real hunting. Public land. Earned the hard way.
