In this episode of Truth From The Stand, I sit down with Corey McKinney to talk about October deer hunting strategies, life updates, and a whole lot more. We dive into how understanding deer behavior this time of year can make or break your hunt, especially when it comes to capitalizing on cold fronts and getting aggressive early in the season. Corey brings a ton of insight into hunting new areas and highlights the importance of being adaptable and open to trying new things. We also share stories from the field—everything from those wild, unexpected encounters with deer to Corey's experience hunting a velvet buck in December. It’s all about preparation, patience, and embracing the unpredictability that comes with wildlife. You’ll hear some great tips on archery hunting and the impact weather patterns—especially cold fronts—can have on deer movement. As we gear up for November, Corey and I talk about the excitement of the upcoming season and the sense of camaraderie that runs deep in the hunting community. Whether you're new to the game or a seasoned hunter, there's something in this episode for everyone.
