#234 - Our Biggest MISTAKE in HILL COUNTRY w/Larry Helmers

In this episode, Larry and I talk about some of the recent realizations we have had about hunting in hill country. As we learn more about hunting deer in big timber settings we continue to get better at anticipating specific bedding areas. But we often push too far and ultimately spook the deer before we even get a chance to setup on them or stalk them. As last season ended my mission was to do my best to get a better understanding of why we made that mistake and how we could prevent the mistake during the offseason and into this season. After discussing the success and the failure we have had in the last several years we have come up with new strategies for these areas that will hopefully help us stay in the game more often without pushing too far and bumping deer. Larry and I talk about different strategies for both archery and firearm seasons and hopefully you can learn from what we believe has been our biggest mistake when hunting the hills!

Topics Include:

-bucks bedding within sight of where we access

-how we plan to avoid being sky-lined

-glassing in the timber
