Summary

On today's episode of The Exodus Podcast, we are back in the studio talking with Kevin Boulder. Kevin hunts the big woods of wisconsin and has learned a thing or two about chasing mature bucks in the never ending tracks of timber. We discuss:

Transitioning from fixed stands to mobile hunting for bigger bucks
Focusing on edge areas and transitions where different types of vegetation meet
Observing rub lines and the height of rubs helps determine the caliber of deer in the area
Trappers learn the value of creativity and problem-solving when faced with intelligent prey
Encountering a black wolf while grouse hunting
The diverse terrains in Wisconsin's big woods
Having conviction in your process and being meticulous in your approach
How the rise of popular hunting podcasts and exposure to experienced hunters influenced Kevin's hunting style
Strategically approaching a buck's bedding area with the wind in your favor
It's better to push in close and risk bumping the deer than to hang back and waste time
Factors like food availability and weather can influence how far deer move from their bedding areas

And so much more!
