Summary
On today's episode of The Exodus Podcast, we are back in the studio talking with Jesse Hines. Jeese works a regular job and has limited vacation time, but has seen plenty of big bucks hit the ground from the tree and on the ground both on big and small parcels. We discuss:
- Using historical data from trail cameras
- Don't stress or panic if you haven't seen your target buck yet; patience and knowledge of historical data are key
- Adjust your plan if necessary, but don't let the lack of success discourage you
- Stick to your game plan and adjust if needed, but remember that hunting is about the journey, not just the end result
- The Importance of being able to make movements while hunting on the ground with a bow
- The success and effectiveness of ground hunting in low deer density areas
- The importance of hunting correctly with the right wind and finding successful funnels for ground hunting
- Balancing getting things done with not pressuring the farm
- Hunting small farms requires a different approach
- Understanding the characteristics of the farm, such as early season, rut, or late season, helps plan hunting approaches effectively
And so much more!
