This week, Greg and Eric chat with Buddy Piland from Ozonics about how to read and mitigate the wind. We take a few caller questions, too. One from how to set up stands on private land over food plots when considering predominant wind directions and another from a hunter in VA who primarily hunts the public land of the appellation mountains and how the wind, thermals, and other variables make it extremely challenging to get an opportunity on a shooter buck.

Eric shoots the breeze with guest Katelyn Armstrong. Katelyn grew up gun hunting, but it wasn't until 2020 that she decided to take up bow hunting.

Eric was out of town, so Greg and Derek took to the mic to chat about what they were up to. Greg hung out at the Duren farm for the Cazenovia Doe Derby to help mentor a hunt. Derek thought he was done for the season, but buck fever got the best of him, and he's been back in the deer woods chasing whitetails. Greg has always loved hunting in the late season, so the two of them chat about their late-season plans and tactics! Spartan Forge - https://www.spartanforge.ai/ use code: OHP for 20% off!

Derek talks about how he stalked a 170" whitetail in his socks, and Eric stripped down to his skivvies to cross a freezing cold river and retrieve his shooter buck.
