Return Guest - John Eberhart joins us for part 3 of our series - the systems of great deer hunters, looking at what specific systems the best deer hunters use (that most don’t) that give them an advantage on mature whitetails. In this episode John and Adam discuss his specific systems that have pioneered the way for him, and many hunters who he's taught, to gain success where others struggle. In this episode we discuss:

• What is John’s TOP hunting system, and why? 

• Specifics about using this system and the science behind it. 

• Why John thinks many hunters disregard using this system (and you    
   shouldn't!) 

• John's rattling system - when and where to use it, timing of using it, and sparring vs. rattling for better success. 

• John's specific system for selecting stand locations involving scrapes. 

• When John uses Ozone and when he says NOT to, particularly on pressured 
  deer. 

And a whole lot more!

We are in a new series - the systems of great deer hunters, looking at what specific systems the best deer hunters use (that most don’t) that give them an advantage on mature whitetails. In this episode we have well known big buck killer Adam Hays III for part 2 of our discussion (he has shot 4 bucks over 200 inches). He has a knack of getting in their heads, and we are going deep in his head to find out the secrets he uses to get it done, so maybe you can too. In this episode we discuss:

• How Adam uses data to get an edge on 200 inch bucks, and determine the how and when of his   
   hunts.
• The 3 factors Adam keys in on to determine when a big buck will be active enough to shoot.
• The gear systems Adam relys on, and how does he get them “bulletproof” for taking big bucks.
• An improbably story of an IL 180 inch buck, and how he stacked the deck for a 1 hunt kill.
   And a whole lot more!

90% of whitetail deer are taken on private land according to a new NDA survey. But are you really maximizing your opportunities in this area? Our series on private land whitetail deer hunting - when you're the boss, how you can manage your land for max success and NOT be part of the problem (which can be a huge problem many are not aware of)? Whether a land owner, hunt by permission, or you lease private land, this series is for you.

Our Guest in this  episode is Ty Easley of Heartland Bowhunter TV - someone you may be familiar with due to the show and his ability to film and shoot big bucks consistently (6-8 year old bucks which is very uncommon and difficult). We talk about a bunch of keys to his success, which I will say, you can do every single one of these if you have any access to private land, even if you share it with other hunters by permission. There's some really good stuff here you'll want to pay close attention to mine all the nuggets out, including:

• What Ty specifically looks for in private land when he's trying to gain access (which is usually by asking permission).
• His initial scouting strategy for new land before he even hunts, makes plots, or sets his hunting plan. 
• His method for making Kill Plots for killing specific bucks, and how this is very different than how most food plots are made. 
• How he keeps spots fresh and remain undetected to ALL deer all year.
• How to look for "tells" in bucks that you can take advantage of.
• The behind the scenes story of a buck named "Chunk"  and how he used a  specific "tell" to kill him.
• How he wrapped these tactics together to chase a HUGE buck named Dreamer, and sealed the deal after several years  - a masterclass in itself. 
... and much more!

In this episode we’re going to look at Buck Profiles - a data driven tactic that is quite possibly your best bet to kill a buck. What are they, how do you make and utilize them to push the odds in your favor? That’s what we’ll look at in this episode, and I will say this is a novel tactic that isn’t talked about much, and the system shared here was developed by me, so you won’t find it elsewhere ~ Adam
