From 40 Acres to the Modern Rut: Hunting Has Changed | 100% Wild Podcast Ep. 450

As November rolls on, Terry stops by the studio to reflect on what deer season means now versus decades past. From the glory days of big deer camps and smoky cabins to the more solitary hunts of today, Matt and Terry dive into how the culture of deer hunting has evolved. Terry shares stories from the "40 Acre Club" and what hunting looked like in the 70s and 80s, while Matt talks about how pressure, responsibility, and age have changed the way they approach the woods.

They also dig into rut predictions, midday movement strategies, and the impact of this year's massive acorn crop. From old-school memories to modern tactics, this episode blends nostalgia and hard-earned wisdom,and reminds everyone to stay safe, wear orange, and enjoy the season.
