Ep.689: Early Season Whitetail Tips (Rut Fresh Radio 9.6.23)

This is the FIRST episode of Rut Fresh Radio of the 2023 Season! In each episode, K.C. and Tyler interview deer hunters from across the country in search of the freshest, most current information on Whitetail Buck movement and hear stories of hunting success. This week we get to hear from hunters in South Carolina, Tennessee, North Dakota, and Kentucky. It’s the early SZN, which means the rare chance at a velvet buck! However, hunters this week talk about the impact of a heat wave on deer movement. We get the details about overcoming the elements and getting in range of a nice whitetail deer.
