Summary

Today on the show I'm joined by Andrae Daquisto to discuss the aggressive scouting and hunting tactics that have made him, in many people’s eyes, one of the very best deer hunters in the country.

Topics discussed:

Is off-season scouting a waste of time?
What should we be doing in the late summer leading into hunting season?
How Andrae identifies his target buck for a given year and why he prefers to make his shoot or don't shoot decisions well ahead of the season
How Andrae approaches the early season
Andrae's unique in-season scouting
The sign that prompts Andrae to stop scouting and start hunting
When to hunt, when to scout
How to scout without over-pressuring deer
How trailcams fit into Andrae's strategy today
How to identify buck beds and what to do when you find one
The full scoop on the Bump and Dump
Thoughts on finding and hunting "bulletproof" stand set-ups
Advanced wind strategies
Why Andrae hates the rut
