Through breaking these down, we bring up topics including if camouflage is really important, understanding what each of the glands do, rubber boots vs. leather boots, scent control and how you can use this information to become a better hunter.

0:05.8	Welcome to East Meets West Hunt with your host, Beaumartonic.
0:14.0	Hey everyone, welcome back to another episode of the East Meets West Hunt podcast presented by Onex.
0:20.6	The Onex Hunt app is the premier GPS app for your phone,
0:25.9	for your tablet, computer, anything you want you can use with the OnX Hunt app. And one thing I want to
0:32.2	talk about today within the app is using the hybrid layer, which combines an aerial imagery and topographical layers
0:40.6	to be able to see differences in terrain and vegetation. And this is so big for whether you're
0:47.5	elk hunting out west or specifically, you know, hunting white tails. Deer love edges and they love different terrain features.
0:57.5	When you can find where a difference in terrain meets a difference in vegetation, that's a
1:03.7	great spot to start your scouting and start looking. So I always pay attention to those areas

1:15.6	If you want to use the onex hunt app yourself, head over to onexmaps.com, and the coupon code EMW will save yourself 20% off of the app.

1:51.3	to getting your bowl out of the field.
1:54.1	And with a one-year membership of the course, you'll also have access to the UEH mobile
1:59.1	app, which puts all the content from the online
2:01.5	course right in the palm of your hand, anytime, anywhere, with or without cell connection.
