In this chat, Ryan and I dive deep into our trail camera tactics and how we decipher the data for our hunts. With around 30 cameras each, we stress the importance of picking spots with dense cover that make mature bucks feel at home. Our strategy is simple: focus on deer trails, key terrain features, scrapes and transitions.
Our talk revolves around understanding the 'why' behind deer behavior, blending trail camera intel with ontheground scouting and ass time in a tree in season. We highlight how weather, wind, and terrain influence deer movement, shaping our hunting playbook.
As we map out our upcoming hunts, we swap our approaches to using wind patterns, weather's impact on deer behavior, and the key days to be in the woods, especially during the rut.
