Summary

Beau Martonik sits down with his cousin Mason, Uncle Mike, and his dad Joe Martonik to talk about rut hunting in the Big Woods. The crew dives into November strategies, from hunting downwind of doe bedding and reading hot sign, to ground game tactics, decoy setups, and calling sequences that work when bucks are cruising. They also share thoughts on dealing with warm weather, keeping confidence through slow hunts, and the mental side of grinding out the rut. It’s a real, tactic-packed conversation straight from deer camp.
