11 Smart Deer Hunters Reveal Their #1 Tip for Your Best Season Yet! w/Adam Lewis & guests; IQ-5

from Deer IQ

I asked 11 deer hunters the same question: What’s one thing you’d tell a hunter who wants to have their best season yet?And I also pried out of them their best preparation method — the thing they do to make sure they're completely ready when it’s time to hunt. And one of those answers might be the thing you need to hear before this season.I got some answers I expected, some I didn’t, and one that I don’t see eye to eye with our guest — and I’ll tell you why when we get to it.There’s also a recurring theme that I think is worth paying attention to, an overlooked stand setup that may help you seal the deal, a key mindset shift for eliminating tag soup, and a preparation revelation from Jared Scheffler that is, well… a little outside the lines.Eleven deer hunters, their best advice, their best preparation methods, and hopefully a few things that help you have your best season yet.All in this episode of the Deer IQ Podcast.* * 2A Display Pistol Mount (10% OFF Code "IQ") HERE** Complete Deer IQ Test 360 HERE • Join The First Sit Coaching Program - 10 Week Advanced Course HERE • Get a Smart Land & Hunting Plan HERE______________________________________________GENERAL INFO about ALL Deer IQ Resources HERENot sure where to start?
