In this episode of the DEER IQ podcast we’re starting a new series called “public land - beating the odds” where we dig back into the strategies, mindsets, and approaches to be successful on public land despite the many challenges that come with it.  I’m joined this week for part 1 with Jared Scheffler of Whitetail Adrenaline, who is very well known for his aggressive approach to public land hunting, and his raw documentation of it in his DVD series. It’s a great conversation aimed at beginners, but will really benefit anyone listening who hunts public land, or is thinking about it.  And yes we have our free journal you can download below, that will really help you get the most out of this podcast. Here are the top things to look for during this episode.

• What did Jared struggle with initially when starting public land hunting, and what would he tell other hunters just starting out?
• What does he mean by “playing defense” and “playing offense” when hunting, and how does this specifically relate to the right approach for public land?
• What is the antidote to territorial hunters when you run into them?
• What does Jared mean and refer to as “bear holes” vs. “rabbit holes” and why is this concept so important? 
• What was his 2 big “aha” moments in public land hunting that helped propel him to where he is today?
