Ep. 932: Back 40 - Great Spot, Bad Access: Can I Still Hunt It Successfully?
About this episode
You’ve got the sign, the bedding, the movement, and the spot - but getting in clean feels impossible. In this episode, Jake Hofer asks Steve Hanson, Thomas Mlsna, Don Higgins, Skip Sligh, Mark Kenyon, Jeff Sturgis, Bobby Kendall, and Bill Winke how they approach high-value spots with tough access. Can you still hunt it without blowing it up? Or are you better off leaving it alone? The panel shares their real-world tactics, how they evaluate risk vs reward, and what it takes to turn a tricky spot into a killing setup. If you’ve ever had a stand that looks perfect on the map but feels impossible to hunt, this is one you won’t want to miss.
