Summary

On this episode of the East Meets West Hunt podcast, Beau Martonik is joined by Troy Pottenger to talk about one of my favorite topics - shed hunting and spring scouting for mountain bucks. Troy is extremely successful in hunting giant mountain bucks in northern Idaho, and we’ve found that a lot of his tactics in the west apply to the big woods whitetails of the east. We discuss locating big deer, hunting clearcuts, shed hunting strategies, utilizing licking branches, being efficient scouting and more. Topics: Troy’s 2019 hunting season The hunt for one buck Locating big deer Hunt the clearcuts Shed hunting strategies Utilizing licking branches Being efficient scouting Resources: Instagram: @eastmeetswesthunt - https://www.instagram.com/eastmeetswesthunt/ @beau.martonik - https://www.instagram.com/beau.martonik/ @mtn_man33 - https://www.instagram.com/mtn_man33/ Facebook: East Meets West Outdoors - https://www.facebook.com/EastMeetsWestHunt/ https://www.eastmeetswesthunt.com/ Watch new elk hunting film SYNERGY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUazLyAgklE Shop new apparel! https://www.eastmeetswesthunt.com/shop Amazon Influencer Page https://www.amazon.com/shop/beau.martonik Partners: onX Mapping at your finger tips on your phone, computer or GPS that will allow you scout harder, hunt farther and increase your success rates.
