· 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.
