Summary

Alan Summerford easily has one of the most impressive trophy rooms we have ever seen! He has had consistent success over the years on some absolute top-tier Alabama bucks and today we break down his tactics. Subjects include: How Alan positions trail cams to learn exactly WHEN and WHERE to hunt a buck Having absolute discipline with your access routes, and how that is where most people go wrong Setting up a spot where you can just "peek in" to a buck's bedroom Alan's multiple DROPTINE Alabama bucks Looking for the same things on public vs private, but with different applications Not hunting spots until the time is exactly right, & how to know when the time is right Building a hunt plan for areas to eliminate guessing, hunting the wrong conditions, and over scouting and TONS more.
