As peak rut dwindles and we enter into late rut, finding rut funnels is our guest's biggest advice for locating big, mature bucks.



In this episode, we're back with Drew Atkinson, a fan favorite and Ozark deer whisperer who mountain man strategies inspire us every time we sit down with him.

We get into rut funnels, doe groups, buck sign, and the late rut that most people forget about.

In the Ozarks, people have always lived in rhythm with the natural world. Hunting, fishing, and living off the land, aren't just things we do, it's who we are.

So join us, as we travel across the region to bring you the voices of the Ozarks to deepen your connection with the land, sharpen your skills in the outdoors, and help you learn what it means to be an Ozarker.
