0:00.0	What is going on? Welcome to the Exodus podcast this week. We have none other than John Ivor.
0:05.2	If you don't know John, he is easily one of the founding fathers of DIY hunting. He's been saddle hunting exclusively since 1981.
0:13.0	He is notoriously known for his beliefs in scentlock in the technologies of activated carbon.
0:19.3	But this episode, we're discussing a variety of things, including his 10-day strategy on out-of-state
0:26.0	hunts.
0:26.7	What dates are, is he going to, how is he going, what are the dates, everything.
0:32.4	So if you're looking to schedule a really strong out-of-state hunting trip. This would be a great podcast for that as well.
0:39.1	We're also discussing how he does spot and stocks and standing corn,
0:42.7	big bucks bedded and standing corn.
0:45.5	We talk about how to identify areas with a certain percentage of timber-to-tillable ratio
0:50.8	or open to cover ratio and how to use that to shoot bigger bucks. So really great
0:59.2	conversation real quick before we get into it. Just want to say this Friday we are sending
1:04.0	out the year seven anniversary sale email to anyone that signs up. So this is one of the biggest sales we will do the entire year.
1:14.5	If you're looking to stock up on cell cameras, this is the time to do. If you want to save your
1:19.0	money, stretch your dollar the furthest it can go, that is the time. And also we have some
1:24.2	other really major announcements that we're going to be releasing. So you want to go sign up, be in the loop for that. And aside from that, I don't think we have anything else. I hope you guys have a great week. Let's get right into this conversation with John Eberhardt. Lights. Camera! Follow the trailer. Red and shoot. If you know where a deer's betting and you know where he's eating, that deer should be dead. If you're passive on a deer, what you're doing is you're teaching.
1:47.0	I've got 30 bucks in the Michigan record book.
1:49.3	Everyone but one has had at least one previous wound on his body.
1:53.5	Some had as many as four.
1:56.3	Trail can radio.
1:57.9	From the guys at Exodus.
