| 0:02.0 | This week, we have a great episode with John Iberhard. We're talking about his past season, postseason scouting, and how to make the most of it to prepare for the following year. I found it really interesting that John typically has 40 locations that are prepared or at least scouted out, and he may only hunt 12 of them. That just goes to show the importance of having multiple options so you can make the most of your season. I hope you guys certainly enjoy this. |
