Ep. 363: What Would Steve Bartylla Do?

Today on the show I'm joined by outdoor writer and whitetail consultant Steve Bartylla for his take on a series of hypothetical deer hunting scenarios varying from private land habitat improvements to public land hunting tactics. Topics discussed:

What would Steve to a new lease if he only had two weekends in August to improve it?

What to do if you have to share a great, but small, hunting property with a family member who hunts poorly

What would you do if your target buck is daylight active leading up to opening day, but the first few days of the season have horrible conditions and wind?

How to get good trailcam intel if baiting is banned in your state?

A mid-October cold front hits and you can only hunt the next morning or the evening several day later - which do you pick?

What to do after missing a buck

What to do when spotting a cruising buck out of range during the rut

How to entice a buck onto your property if he beds on the neighbors

What would you do if you could no longer hunt in November?

Where would you hunt on Oct 1 VS Nov 25 VS Dec 7?
