Shoot your shot, man. You got to go in and get them or somebody else is going to mess it up or some patterns are going to change. And so I've gotten a lot more aggressive in the past five years.

Hey, what is going on on this week's episode of the White Tail podcast? We're joined by Javan Mollett from Whitetail Edge.

I would rather mess it up knowing that I gave it my best shot rather than sitting on the fence and then the neighbor kills him or

whatever something else happens. In this episode, we break down how even consistently finds

mature bucks on permission properties, why most hunters are way too passive, summer trail camera

strategy, and why aggressive hunting tactics have led to more success for him. If you think you where he's bedded even after you boogered him, I'm not scared to go into an hanging hunt right on top of his bed. I'll go in super early and just wait him out. If you're trying to track down mature bucks without owning hundreds of acres, this episode is for you. Here we go. Let's get into it. Dave, and welcome to the White Tailed podcast. How you doing? Thanks for having me. I appreciate it. I'm doing well. How are you? Good, man. We were just talking. When this goes live, it'll be June. And so I can tell the excitement for deer season, it's starting to build up. There was probably a lull in April and May when it was kind of like,

you know, yeah, kind of excited, but people are starting to get excited. How excited are you as of

June for this upcoming season? I am super excited. Obviously, you know, like you said, there's typically

there kind of a little bit of a lull there with with turkey season and spring and everything. And honestly, for me, this turkey season wasn't as eventful as, as I hoped or as I typically would be. Um, we had our, our fourth child here in April. So, uh, thank you. Um, that's, that was exciting. But I was really just kind of sitting back and like, you know, if it happens, it happens. I got out a couple times, took my, took my son Riley a few times, but we didn't get into anything. So I've been excited already for deer season for a couple, you know, for two months already. But June, man, we're seeing antler growth and everything else

that's happening and just food plots and everything else going on. I'm pumped. Yeah. So let me ask you

this. So for people who are maybe familiar with White Till Edge and kind of have a general idea,

but I want to hear from you. How would you describe your personal

hunting style or strategy? Because I feel like that'll give a baseline for this conversation.

Yep, for sure. So I grew up hunting lots of different permission properties, never had my own

really, you know, really slice of heaven to build up or do anything like that.

So I really never did hunt much public ground, but it was all permission properties that other

guys also have, have permission to hunt. So I really grew up bouncing around and avoiding other

hunters as well. And so that's still now my style, just super mobile.

I don't like the deer to know where my setups are,

where I'm not going to go in and hunt same spots over and over.

I don't have just my 80 acres that I call my little piece.

So I guess it's twofold. It is that mobile bouncing around. And then I also
