This is an IHeart podcast.

First Light's white-tail kits were made for the long haul and built to perform in the late

season cold, trusted by hunters who demand more from their gear.

The thermic kit is our cold weather workhorse.

It'll keep you in the game when the temps drop to 20 and well below.

So don't let the season give you the slip. Finish strong with a system that delivers when it

matters most. Built to perform, built to last. Check out the full lineup at firstlight.com.

Welcome to the Wired to Hunt Foundations podcast, your guide to the fundamentals of better deer hunting.

Presented by First Light, creating proven, versatile hunting apparel for the stand, saddle, or blind.

First Light, go farther, stay longer. And now, your host, Tony Peterson.

Hey, everyone. Welcome to the Wired to Hunt Foundation's podcast, which is brought to you by First Light.

I'm your host Tony Peterson, and today's episode is all about how to approach the rut with a plan,

and then to see that plan through.

Well, if you've been bitching about hot weather or rainy, foggy stupid weather or no daytime movement or whatever, you know, when it comes to the deer, you can stop now.

At least much of the country is right smack dab in the best damn time of the year to be

a whitetail hunter.

And that means a lot of folks are going to have amazing hunts this week.

But a lot of folks won't.

You don't want to be in that ladder category.

And to help you avoid it, I'm going to talk about developing a rut hunting plan and actually seeing it through.

So buckle up because it's time to get serious about the best time of the year to be a deer hunter.
