Summary
On today's episode of The Exodus Podcast, we are in the studio talking with Bobby Kendall. Bobby is the owner of The Whitetail Group and has made a career of developing farms to turn them into Giant Whitetail Heaven, all while putting 15 deer over 160" on the wall himself. We discuss:
- Why October is a prime time to hunt deer
- Understanding a deer's mindset and behavior
- Weather factors and their impact on deer movement
- "Magic X days" are the optimal days for deer hunting based on rising barometric pressure, declining temperature, rain, and cloud cover
- High pressure days in October are magical for deer hunting
- Big deer in October have a mindset focused on territory marking
- Understanding the boomerang phase when bucks expand their territory
- Using scrapes as a valuable tool for gathering intel on food sources and marking territory
- Use physical barriers like fences or tree limbs to create pinch points and further concentrate scent
- The combination of a long high-pressure front, date phase, mindset, and moon creates the perfect hunting conditions
- Hunting in the evenings is more productive in October due to deer being on food and actively marking their territory
- Find the dominant scrape near food sources to focus your hunting efforts
- Natural scrapes in concentrated scent areas attract deer naturally
And so much more!
