Summary

For the last 2 years Shane Parker has ran around 170 trail cameras on around 800 acres of public land he hunts in Alabama. Using his massive amount of scouting data from these cameras he began to identify, & target "buck hubs". Paul Putera has noticed a similar phenomenon in the Northeast. Today we have them both on the show for part 1 of a series on buck hubs! Subjects in this episode include: Shane's giant web of 170 cameras and weather stations across a relatively small area Defining a buck hub, and how they are different from other hubs How bedding directly relates to buck hubs How Shane & Paul are catching mature bucks who routinely avoid trail cams with a purpose Why mature bucks rarely use major deer trails & how to find their faint trails And TONS more!

or what you can expect going into a certain area based on when it was cut.

0:08.5

Well, I got just the tool for you to figure that out.

0:10.7

Onex actually has a timber cuts layer and it'll show you on a national forest

the exact area that was cut and what year it was cut.

0:17.6

Now you're going to be able to use that to kind of start building patterns and stuff.

0:37.6

It's a really awesome tool.

0:38.8

It's under the tree crops and cover layer where you're going to also find stuff like
