·        Joe, Hal, Bill and Jamison discuss results of 1st week hunts from Big Woods Outfitters and also share a few tips for different weather conditions and progress of rut. o   The biggest challenge of guiding is hunting is hunting can be a game of inches in the thicker cover of the big woods of the North. o   Hal shares a perfect example of a huge scrape right on a transition. o   You should think about the progression of the rut and use tactics that are effective for that time. o   Spend time where the doe pockets are and spend as much time as possible in the 10%. o   Poke around when it is rainy and windy o   Joe says: grunt tube is a very important tool to have with you. o   Don’t choose to stay in the cabin when it is warm. o   Hal says: find new spots and don’t go back to same places because you killed a deer in prior years.   ·        Head over to the Big Woods Bucks website to learn how to track and hunt the big woods: https://www.bigwoodsbucks.com/ ·        Hal and the Big Woods Bucks Team's Gear: ·        Jacket: https://store.bigwoodsbucks.com/big-woods-bucks-wool-hunting-jack ·        Pack: https://store.bigwoodsbucks.com/big-woods-bucks-mid-size-fanny-pack ·        Gloves: https://store.bigwoodsbucks.com/bwb-wool-hunting-gloves ·        Pants: https://store.bigwoodsbucks.com/big-woods-bucks-wool-lightweight-hunting-pants ·        Cape: https://store.bigwoodsbucks.com/big-woods-bucks-zippered-orange-cape    ·        Click link to the BWB ADK Hunt Podcast ·        Minus33 wool base layers and socks: https://alnk.to/aLIUpax ·        Mapping - Get 20% Off New onX Hunt Premium or Elite Memberships!
