Description

Welcome back to another episode of the WhitetailDNA Podcast! On today's episode, we break down what the first half of November has really looked like in the whitetail woods and why things may not be as "finished" as some hunters think. We dive into why this window can actually be one of the best times of the entire season to kill a mature buck you've never laid eyes on before, and why committing to all-day sits is still absolutely worth it. We also get into the specific areas you should be honing in on right now, how to effectively call and decoy mature bucks into bow range, and why many rut reports you're hearing might be skewed or misleading. If you're wondering whether to stay in the tree or hang it up, this is the episode you don't want to miss. Enjoy the show!

New episodes drop every Wednesday at 6AM CST
