Our series on private land whitetail deer hunting - when you're the boss, how you can manage your land for max success and NOT be part of the problem (which can be a huge problem many are not aware of)? Whether a land owner, hunt by permission, or you lease private land, this series is for you.Our Guest in this  episode is Ty Easley of Heartland Bowhunter TV - someone you may be familiar with due to the show and his ability to film and shoot big bucks consistently (6-8 year old bucks which is very uncommon and difficult). We talk about a bunch of keys to his success, which I will say, you can do every single one of these if you have any access to private land, even if you share it with other hunters by permission. There's some really good stuff here you'll want to pay close attention to mine all the nuggets out, including:• What Ty specifically looks for in private land when he's trying to gain access (which is usually by asking permission).• His initial scouting strategy for new land before he even hunts, makes plots, or sets his hunting plan. • His method for making Kill Plots for killing specific bucks, and how this is very different than how most food plots are made. • How he keeps spots fresh and remain undetected to ALL deer all year.• How to look for "tells" in bucks that you can take advantage of.• The behind the scenes story of a buck named "Chunk"  and how he used a  specific "tell" to kill him.• How he wrapped these tactics together to chase a HUGE buck named Dreamer, and sealed the deal after several years  - a masterclass in itself. ... and much more!Year Theme: To Be a Greater HunterSeries: Private Land, When You’re KingEpisode # 32Guest: Ty EasleyIQ ranking - 5 (intermediate)HELPFUL LINKS:Watch Ty's Hunt for Chunk: https://youtu.be/T2UU3n_DO2k?feature=shared(No Dreamer Video.. but see his trophy room on Whitetail Cribs) HERE: https://youtu.be/FTueb5ZcCO8?si=SaWd-CCx6h8HESzpDeer IQ Article: https://deeriq.com/building-kill-factory/DEER IQ: Get started - website overview HERE: https://deeriq.com/full-overview/Facebook Private Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/511109237864762Deer IQ  FREE Journal: https://deeriq.com/journal/Deer IQ Test: https://deeriq.com/deeriqtest/Pressured Public Lands Hunting Guide:  https://deeriq.com/public-land-hunting-guide/Curriculum: https://deeriq.com/curriculum/Newsletter Signup: https://deeriq.com/signup/Patreon - Contribute Financially to Deer IQ: https://www.patreon.com/DeerIQPatreon

Public Land Hunting has changed in the recent years, with pressure rising due to several factors, including less access to private and popularity due to social media. But do you have the tools needed to get on and consistently take mature deer on ultra-pressured public lands? In this series, we'll look at what it takes and new approaches from top experts to help get you in the game. This is part 2 with our very successful public land hunting guest Jeff Kelly, who has harvested big bucks consistently all over the country for the past 20 years. We dive into specific failures and successes Jeff has had, and discuss the adapt or persist paradox (do you change or persist for success?), how to make the last part of your hunt the best part instead of it being over-pressured by you, and how to know when to stop scouting and start hunting (for best success). All critical things for public land hunters, and much more! Also, be aware this was our very first episode recorded and there were some audio/video issues we had to work around (solved in subsequent episodes), so there are still some pops & clicks in here that couldn't be removed.
