Summary

Erik "Slingin' Rik" Barber puts a lot of time into hunting public land whitetails throughout the fall. In the past, Erik has had the best success using run and gun style tactics where he aggressively hunts an area once and then moves on to a different area. This season he tried some different tactics, using cell cameras for the first time ever. In this episode we discuss the pro's and the cons of cell cameras, knowing your limits on how far you should be shooting at an animal, and situational calling tactics on pressured whitetails. Topics Include: -stories that make you realize how Erik got the nickname "slingin' Rik" -the effects of cell cameras on hunting strategy -why effective range can be different for everyone GoWild - Save 10% on orders w/code THP - https://bit.ly/3i4c15r OPTICS - 10% off Vortex Optics w/code THP10 - https://bit.ly/3AOdKDQ THP MERCH - https://bit.ly/30ZC1rm - Get 10% off THP Merch w/Code THPPODCAST DEER CALLS - Get 10% off Woodhaven Calls w/coupon code - THP2018 - http://bit.ly/2IagiSe MAPPING - Get 20% Off OnX Hunt!

Hey everybody, thanks for tuning in.

0:02.5

On this episode we're going to be talking with our friend Eric Barber.

0:05.4

Eric, as you may know, has been our friend for a long time.

0:08.9

We met him while working at Midwest White Tail.

0:11.8

He now lives back up in Wisconsin, which is where he's from, and we don't get to see

0:16.6

each other as much as we used to, and we definitely don't get to hunt together as much as

0:20.3

we used to.

0:21.3

So, generally throughout the season, Eric and I are making multiple phone calls back and

0:25.4

forth kind of talking about what we've been doing, what we've been learning, maybe some

what's been going on.

0:48.6

So, on this podcast, we're going to touch on a lot of different subjects.

0:52.2

We'll use a bunch of different stories as examples to back our theories that we may be

0:57.0

coming up with throughout the season, and some things that we wish we had done differently

1:00.3

this past season, and it'll just kind of be an all-around catch up with our buddy, Eric.

1:05.3
