If you read this title and think you’re going to find out the exact date, time, and location to harvest a buck opening week this year – you may be crazy!  Hunting strategy content has flooded social media, and while there is a lot of fantastic advice, it can become overwhelming to utilize in your hunting area.  It is also extremely easy to over-think your hunting strategy and let emotion overcome reason.  Should you hunt in the morning during early season?  Should you get close to bedding areas immediately?  When should I dive into my best stand?  There really is no one size fits all method.

Think in your mind who the two best whitetail hunters are in the country – while they may have some similarities, often their background in whitetails can lead to contradictory advice.  It does not mean that one is right and one is wrong – but it can surely be confusing!  This week, Mitch provides his mindset on when to be aggressive, and when to be patient.  You’ll find that first keeping it simple and assessing food, bedding, and surrounding hunting pressure, can put you in the ball game quickly before steam shoots out of your ears from overthinking.  But one major piece of missing context – how large is private or public parcel you are hunting?  Ponder this as we scratch the surface for hunting early season.
