Show Notes
On this episode, we break down how:
- Overhunting small farms will cost you mature bucks.
- Mature deer often shift seasonal ranges (October ≠ January).
- Shed location doesn't equal early-season location.
- Rut funnels require daily commitment—not random sits.
- Postseason scouting must account for seasonal movement shifts.
- Baiting + crossbows + cell cams = hyper-effective hunters.
- The biggest evolution in Heath's career: hunting deer, not spots.
- February–April adjustments are critical for small farm optimization.
