Today, we are doing a THROWBACK to one of our favorite scouting episodes! Nathan Killen & Rusty Johnson are both top-notch hunters when it comes to targeting mature bucks on public land, and on this episode, we had them both on to discuss their post-season scouting strategies.

Rusty Johnson and Nathan Killen have several things in common, things like consistently tagging some of the biggest bucks in their area, and a love for post-season scouting & shed hunting. Both Rusty and Nathan attribute a lot of their success to the work they are putting in right now to learn their woods, sharpen their wordsmanship skills, locate surviving bucks and find sheds. We got Nathan and Rusty on at the same time to dive into this subject and share their knowledge, as well as bounce things off one another. As Nathan says in this episode, iron sharpens iron and the guys get into a lot of great information here. Make sure you share this podcast with a buddy and leave us a 5 star review on itunes!

- Managing different land types: Get specific tips for managing hardwood, pine, and hill country terrain for maximum deer activity.

- Postseason scouting and preparation: Learn how to analyze last season's hunts and prepare your property for the upcoming deer season.

- Advanced tactics for holding mature bucks: Find out how to compete with neighboring properties and keep that mature buck on your land during daylight hours.
