Show notes

· Joe, Hal, Bill and Jamison discuss results of 1st week hunts from Big Woods Outfitters and also share a few tips for different weather conditions and progress of rut.

o The biggest challenge of guiding is hunting is hunting can be a game of inches in the thicker cover of the big woods of the North.

o Hal shares a perfect example of a huge scrape right on a transition.

o You should think about the progression of the rut and use tactics that are effective for that time.

o Spend time where the doe pockets are and spend as much time as possible in the 10%.

o Poke around when it is rainy and windy

o Joe says: grunt tube is a very important tool to have with you.

o Don't choose to stay in the cabin when it is warm.

o Hal says: find new spots and don't go back to same places because you killed a deer in prior years.
