Summary

This week we have our buddy Johnathan Holsomeback, also known as John Boy by those who know him, on the show to talk about building history with and targeting specific bucks! Subjects include: - How he religiously re-scouts areas he already has years of history with - Hunting through a timber rotation, hunting cutover vs young pines vs thinned pines - How big bursts of hunting pressure can displace bucks - Nailing down a bucks core area in thick pine country - How the BIGGEST BUCKS don't really use community scrapes, but have their own scrapes - Placing trail cams to get a buck on cam every 1-3 days - Hunting the "medusa buck" - Unorthodox scent tactics - Calling deer with a snort wheeze in the South and TONS more! This had to be one of our favorite episodes of 2023 and we know you will get a lot out of it. If you enjoy the show, please share it with a buddy or five! Got a question for the show?

0:13.2	There are two new features on on X hunt that you need to check out if you haven't seen them yet that is the recent imagery feature and the leaf off imagery feature now leaf off imagery. It's just a really really crisp high quality leaf off imagery. We're actually just using it on our hunt in Arkansas,
0:15.5	and it was unbelievable, some of the best imagery I've ever used on an app.
0:19.2	But also, the recent imagery layer is a true satellite image that updates every week or two and you can actually
0:25.2	go flip back through those.
0:26.4	So that is excellent for seeing where the new cutovers are at, what fields have been cut,
0:32.0	where the leaves are changing, what the water levels are in certain
0:34.8	lakes or rivers you might be going to.
0:36.5	And like I said, it's updated every couple weeks, so you can actually go flip back through the dates
0:40.7	and see how stuff has changed over time, which y'all know is extremely useful
