We discuss map scouting, trails cameras, and the best sign to look for. We also talk about the differences in scouting a new piece of property and established hunting grounds.

It's on like Donkey Kong, DSHP is back! Deer season is finally here and Mike's got big news about a move, plus some more updates. Thanks for listening!

After all but giving up on my 2019-20 deer hunting season, I had my best 3 days of hunting ever, including going in blind for my first public land Florida buck and another buck on a hang and hunt with my oldest daughter. While there was a ton of luck involved, I share the whole story, so hopefully, you can learn something from it.
