Summary

On this episode, I’m joined by friend and proven public land whitetail hunter, Johnny Stewart. Out of all of the whitetail hunters I've met over the years, Johnny is arguably one of the most consistent at killing big whitetails all over the country on public land. He takes some outside the box tactics that you won't read about in any magazine, and applies them to hunting big whitetails. Make sure that you get your notebook out for this one!  Topics: My Pennsylvania late season archery hunt Late season public land hunting The "Second Rut" Big woods bedding Buck personalities Thinking outside-the-box on public land Hunting next-level deer Climbing treestands vs. hang-on stands How to find a public land hunting area Big woods food sources Mature deer tendencies Key takeaways   Resources Instagram: @eastmeetswesthunt                  @beau.martonik                  @thejohnnystewart Facebook: East Meets West Outdoors                 www.eastmeetswesthunt.com Heather's Choice Affiliate Link Learn more about your ad choices.
