Ep. 1083: Back 40 - Are You Wasting Time Waiting on a Buck to Show Up?

from Wired To Hunt Podcast · host MeatEater

Every hunter has been there... waiting on a buck that should show up while wondering if you’re wasting valuable time. This week on Back 40, Tony LaPratt, Bronson Strickland, Jason Michael, and Skip Sligh break down how they decide when to stay patient and when it’s time to make a move. We dive into what makes mature bucks predictable, how quickly patterns can change throughout October, and whether you should be hunting the deer you have right now - or the deer you hope shows up next. If you’re staring at trail camera photos, waiting on a familiar buck, or trying to decide when to shift your strategy, this conversation will help you make that call.
