Summary

In this episode I have Tom Fleisher, CEO of 'The Scrape Rope Company' on the show. Tom and I spend the first 10 minutes or so discussing different forms of mobile hunting, and how our set ups and approaches to what we carry into the woods have evolved over the years and become more minimalistic over time. Then, we deep dive into talking about staging areas. We define what a staging area is in the deer woods, how deer use them, and why it is important for YOU to know that so that you can capitalize on it this deer season!
