Summary

On today's episode of The Exodus Podcast, we are back in the studio talking with repeat guest and fellow podcast host Cody Jenkins. Cody hosts the Whitetail Legacy Podcast and has shot multiple bucks in every part of every month that you can hunt. We discuss:

  • Strategies for hunting both public and private ground
  • The pressure and competition on public land make it harder to find and kill bucks
  • The drawbacks of chasing one big deer
  • Private land hunting allows for more control
  • The location of buck beds related to the topography of the area
  • October can be a great time to hunt bucks, contrary to popular belief
  • Farmers harvesting crops in October can push deer into new areas
  • Building credibility in the hunting industry is easier when hunting and killing big bucks on public land
  • Enjoying personal hunting experiences with his son rather than growing his name in the industry
  • Involving his son in the hunting experience by letting him hang cameras fosters learning and a sense of participation

And so much more!
