Summary

It's Whitetail Week! Who better to have on the show than North Idaho resident and accomplished whitetail hunter, Troy Pottenger. Jason and Troy dive into some listener questions and then discuss the importance of licking branches and scrapes to scouting, finding, and hunting mountain bucks. They also touch on being mobile versus having some annual stands, giving the bucks almost too much wind, as well as how his strategies stay the same and differ as the rut is on.
