Summary

The Dilla is back! On this episode, we are joined by our good buddy Michael Pike, known to many as "the Dilla" (short for armadillo, because he has turned over every leaf in Alabama looking for big bucks!). We catch up with him on his awesome 2023 season where he tagged out in AL with 3 great bucks, two of which were big 10 points - all on public. Subjects include: How Michael got severely burned out on deer hunting & then got back into it The intangible aspect of being good at deer hunting Why your tactics haven't been working Listening to the woods (literally) to find deer Building upon each hunt to increase your odds every time The best way to plan out-of-state hunts The camaraderie of having hunting buddies, and how it makes you hunt better and tons more! It was great catching up and we are sure the dilla will be back on the show throughout the year. Got a question for the show?

Spring Turkey season is a ponous and don't be caught out in the woods without having onyx hunt on your phone

0:05.5

One feature onyx has that is often overlooked for Turkey hunting is a recent imagery filter with their elite memberships

This imagery is updated week to week and it comes in extremely imagery on a fresh clear cut and strut around all day long.

and did a very small clear cut along this creek.
