In this episode, we dive head first into patterning public land bucks. As most hunters know, when it comes to hunting public land, you get what you get and make the best of it. Join Nikko Robison and I as he breaks down different buck patterns and habits so that you can get the most out of your scouting and hunting in the public deer woods.

During the episode, you’ll notice that I ask some pretty basic questions that many hunters may already know the answer to. I do this for a couple of reasons. One, I want Nikko to get deeper into the subject and 2, I want the content explained for listeners at all experience levels.

In this episode:

• Nikko’s bowhunting tradition

• Scouting public land for food, bedding & sign

• Trail camera and stand placement

• Nikko’s most memorable hunting experience

Because I think it’s important to gain these insights and perspectives of new hunters, I wanted to share this conversation that Alan and I had about his recent Texas hog hunt.
