Summary

In this episode I have Dan Johnson, host of the nine finger chronicles podcast on the show. Dan and I discuss multiple different topics revolving around the rut. We talked about calling tactics. Specifically when to call, and reading a buck's body language to know what type of call to use. We discussed different hunting locations to set yourself up for success during the rut. We talked about how sometimes not getting stuck in your ways and hunting the same type of locations that you and everybody else have for years can be beneficial. We talked about just observing and letting the woods and the deer that you hunt teach you where to hunt. We closed out by talking about how keeping a positive mental mindset during the rut is absolutely key to having success. I hope you all enjoy!!
