Ep. 938: Back 40 - Can’t Find a Buck to Hunt? Don’t Panic. Do This!
About this episode
You’ve checked your cameras, glassed your fields, and walked the farm and still no sign of a buck worth hunting. Now what? In this episode, Jake Hofer brings the question to Steve Hanson, Don Higgins, Skip Sligh, Mark Kenyon, Thomas Mlsna, Jeff Sturgis, Bobby Kendall, and Bill Winke. When there’s no target on your radar, how do you adjust, stay patient, and still put yourself in a position to have your best season yet? The group shares their go-to moves when the intel goes cold, including how to stay mentally locked in, where to shift your scouting focus, and when to trust that a buck will show up. If you’re heading into the season with an empty hit list, this episode is for you.
