Summary

In this episode, I talk with Chris Jenkins about hunting the southern Appalachians. This area has low deer densities and rugged terrain that makes finding mature bucks a unique challenge. Chris has an extremely mobile style that helps him find what he calls “buck pockets” where he focuses his time. Chris spends a ton of time exploring the mountains and uses his woodsman ship to be successful. I really enjoyed talking with Chris and I hope you will learn as much from him as I have!  Topics Include:  -where big bucks hide in the southern Appalachians -how scouting while bear hunting helps Chris find where mature bucks live -unconventional hunting tactics THP MERCH:  https://bit.ly/30ZC1rm - Get 10% off THP Merch w/Code ZACH GoWild - Save 10% on orders w/code THP - https://bit.ly/3i4c15r OPTICS - 10% off Vortex Optics w/code THP10 - https://bit.ly/3AOdKDQ TURKEY CALLS - Get 10% off Woodhaven Calls w/coupon code - THP2022 - http://bit.ly/2IagiSe MAPPING - Get 20% Off OnX Hunt!
