Summary

Today on the show I'm joined by outdoor writer and whitetail consultant Steve Bartylla for his take on a series of hypothetical deer hunting scenarios varying from private land habitat improvements to public land hunting tactics.

Topics discussed:

  • What would Steve to a new lease if he only had two weekends in August to improve it?
  • What to do if you have to share a great, but small, hunting property with a family member who hunts poorly
  • What would you do if your target buck is daylight active leading up to opening day, but the first few days of the season have horrible conditions and wind?
  • How to get good trailcam intel if baiting is banned in your state?
  • A mid-October cold front hits and you can only hunt the next morning or the evening several day later - which do you pick?
  • What to do after missing a buck
  • What to do when spotting a cruising buck out of range during the rut
  • How to entice a buck onto your property if he beds on the neighbors
  • What would you do if you could no longer hunt in November?
  • Where would you hunt on Oct 1 VS Nov 25 VS Dec 7?

Today, what would Steve Bartility do?

0:31.1

We've got a very different perspective on hunting, a very different set of experiences,

a different approach.

So it makes this an interesting, different way of looking at things than we have with

John.

0:44.7

He hunts some spots that he's able to do a lot of things with.

0:52.0

He hunts some spots where we can't do anything.

He, I think one of my favorite things about Steve is that he's very open to other ideas.
