On this episode we are covering some listener Q&A submissions, then talking about a recent pre-season scouting trip we did here in Alabama! Q&A's: Can hunting buck beds actually be effective in the South? I've got bucks in a spot at first light somewhat consistently, should I get in super early and try to beat them there? What is the best way to structure your vacation time for hunting the rut? After the Q&A session, we discuss our recent scouting trip on an Alabama WMA finding feed trees, scrapes and early season "whip" rubs for the Alabama bow opener in a few weeks.
