187 BARRY WENSEL - Whitetail Bootcamp, Understanding Deer Movement & Terrain
About this episode
Barry Wensel says two heads are better than one. What he's referring to is the ability to learn the woods and understand deer hunting scenarios from the perspective of two woodsman instead of soley relying on his own perspective. The other woodsman he's referring to is his brother Gene. Barry and Gene Wensel are regarded by even the best deer hunters as whitetail deer hunting royalty. And, arguably, they might just be the best pure all-around deer hunters on the planet. Barry spends much of his time in the woods studying and learning the terrain and how deer move through areas and will make micro adjustments at his treestand setups to turn a 25 yard shot into a 15 yard shot. Barry has also been known to travel several hundred yards out of his way, just to approach his treestand correctly, and undetected. This show is loaded with tips and strategies, and although it pushes the 2 hour mark, it will feel like ten minutes. Notepad required.
