0:00.0	You go into Walmart and you see the bags of bait. I was like, it must be good. I think those are hunter attractants more than deer attractants, but I don't really use them. So I don't know. Maybe they work good. I just crack up and I see like those like, you know, the flavors. You got the white oak flavors. Yeah. How do you do that? The white oak spray scent.
0:39.3	You seen those? I don't have it. They got spray scents for white oak and persimmon and corn. Remember corn coat? Yeah. I haven't seen that in a while. I used to always see that at Walmart. You spray it on the leaves. It's supposed to make it taste like corn or something. I don't even know if it worked. I was like, well, if I throw a mic on, then I can help others the way that these people, that will help me.
0:43.3	Born in the heart of the Pennsylvania deer camp.
0:47.3	With the help of experts, friends, and local legends,
0:51.3	we bring you valuable knowledge and powerful stories for your hunting adventures.
0:58.1	Welcome to the East Meets West Hunt podcast with your host, Bo Martonic. If you're serious about mobile and saddle hunting, Timber Ninja outdoors make some of the most proven gear in the woods.
1:21.3	Their saddles, carbon fiber climbing sticks, and the Kunai hybrid platform are designed for hunters who want to go lighter without
1:29.0	sacrificing safety and stability. The ultimate saddle is named Outdoor Life's best overall
1:34.0	saddle in both 2024 and 2025, and it's been earned through real-world use, not height.
1:41.1	Timber Ninja is also rolling out the highly anticipated frostline boot covers,
1:46.1	which I help design specifically for cold, late season hunts when keeping your feet warm
1:51.2	and quiet matters most. You can find Timber Ninja gear at Timber Ninja Outdoors.com
1:56.0	and Eastmeetswesthunt.com in the gear shop. Use code Eastmeets West for free shipping on Timber Ninja
2:01.8	products and sign up for the email newsletter if something's not available right now.
2:07.4	One piece of gear I never leave behind no matter of the season is a good pair of binoculars.
2:12.4	Over the last eight seasons, I have tended to reach for the Maven B3, 8x30s more than any other glass.
2:19.0	They're lightweight, compact, and perfect for covering ground during shed season,
2:23.7	spring turkey hunts or deer hunts. The 8xification gives you a wide field of view and plenty of
2:29.4	depth of field, making them easy to glass timber, edges, and open country without fighting shaky glass.
2:35.6	Even with the smaller size, the clarity and brightness are impressive.
2:39.4	Like all Maven optics, the B3s are built tough, backed by a lifetime no-fault warranty,
2:44.4	and designed in the great state of Wyoming.
