Summary

On this episode of the Exodus Podcast, Chad and Jake are back in the studio to discuss summer hunting strategies. We talk about using trail cameras to gather inventory, elk vs whitetail, and stress the importance of preparation and enjoying the process. We discuss:

Ohio black bear sighting
Summer Trail Camera checklist
Check batteries, clear memory cards, and practice scent control
Summer is a great time to set up trail cameras, especially in bedding areas and scrapes
Be cautious of putting cameras on dead trees in swampy areas as they may attract more insects
Fawn recruitment: obtaining early photos of fawns to predict peak breeding dates and plan for stand placement, with the option of hanging multiple sets for different winds.
Ants can wreck havoc on trail cameras, but using ant repellent and placing cameras away from high-traffic areas can reduce the likelihood of damage.
Avoid putting cameras on dead trees
Summer scouting can include marking down agricultural fields and bedding areas.
Take inventory of the deer in bachelor groups during the summer
Green soybeans are the best food source for deer
Access routes and wind directions are essential factors to consider when picking tree's for stands
Elk or Deer this fall?
A new Exodus arrow launch is imminent

And So Much More!
