Summary

On this episode of the East Meets West Hunt podcast, Beau Martonik is joined by Johnny Stewart and Greg Litzinger to talk about scouting and shed hunting the big woods in Pennsylvania. We discuss winter food sources, what we’re looking for when scouting, and why we scout more than we hunt. John and Greg tell the story of their November rut hunt on public land where they killed 3 bucks in less than 24 hours out of the same tree and what made for the perfect storm.
