Those big mature bucks are going to make a daylight appearance on a scrape somewhere.

In this episode of the White Tail podcast presented by Moultrie, we're diving deep into late October hunting strategies with JJ and Brian from the Deer Society.

0:19.4

If you're not running truck cameras over scrapes in October, should start running trail cameras over scrapes in October. That is the most fun time to see bucks hitting scrapes, showing off the rack. I mean, they're just bulked up the best footage you'll get all year. I mean, it's just incredible. This next window of opportunity is synonymous of being one of the best times to shoot a target buck, and this episode breaks down some of the tactics on how you potentially can do that this year, this week, here we go. When I think of a lot of the success I've had in the past, 10 years we'll call it, success Brian's had in the past, 10 years we'll call it. I would say majority of that is in October

I know a lot of people have it at their house. That's the way tow cribs you typically film. But coming into work every day, seeing the big bucks, seeing the legacy deer, and, you know, all those memories, it just makes it really comfortable. And you're excited to come into work. So that's,

1:44.8
