Ep. 456: Mastering the Scrape Game: Pre-Rut and Rut Tactics w/ Bill Thompson // Spartan ForgeDescription
Beau Martonik reconnects with Bill Thompson, founder of Spartan Forge, to dive deep into the science and strategy of hunting over scrapes. Bill has spent years analyzing GPS collar data on whitetails, uncovering how bucks use scrapes during the pre-rut and rut phases. This isn’t just theory — it’s a tactical breakdown of how to hunt smarter, not harder.
