Hunting Beast Gear Podcast - HBG Podcast Episode #6 - Josh Beaman Whitetail Tactics
play

01/06/16 • 101 min

Well know Hunting Beast Forum member Josh Beaman better know as "Bucky" on the site shares his Whitetail hunting tactics. Josh discusses scouting new properties, what he looks for in a property, how to use trail cameras effectively, how he transitioned to cataloging and hunting specific bucks, what have been his mistakes, and what have been his successes. He does all this while balancing a busy family and work life. A real world evolution as a hunter.
What I learned:
- Keep an open mind and learn for everyone around you
- If you want to hunt mature whitetails then find properties where mature whitetail exist
- Scouting takes time. Those that do it right often spend more time in the off season locating bucks and areas to hunt than they spent hunting during the season
- A picture is just a picture it is the information you gather from it that is important - wind, weather, topography, time, location, and proximity
- Patterns, patterns, and more patterns. Be a student of the outdoors and learn from your mistakes and successes. If you understand Whitetail behavior you can start to locate the best spots for mature bucks anywhere

Hunting Beast Gear Podcast - HBG Podcast Episode #8 -  Luke Muldoon A passion for Whitetails
play

03/08/16 • 109 min

Well know Hunting Beast Member Luke Muldoon also know as moondoondude on the forum shares his tips, tactics, and passion for North American Whitetails.
Luke grew up in Maryland observing studying Whitetail behavior in his back-yard. As I got older he grew his passion through tracking and monitoring Whitetails in all the surrounding areas where he grew up.
Luke has taken a keen interest in monitoring the impact of development and population expansion on deer herds as well as the fragmentation of the land deer call home.
Luke spends a lot of time on foot studying the land he hunts as well as finding sheds.
What I learned:
- We need more people who carries Luke's passion for Whitetails and their survival as more land is fragmented due to development and over population
- There is no substitute for feet on the ground. You can learn a lot from walking a property.
- Environment, population levels, genetics, and hunting pressure all play a role in the health of your deer herd
- There is a direct correlation between deer herd health and the availability of contiguous land to support the population.
- Late season patterns can be key in targeting mature bucks
- Trail cameras if used properly can be key in patterning mature bucks moving in day light
- Be a student of deer behavior and habitat. The more of this you understand, the better you will understand why deer travel, bed, and feed the way they do.

Hunting Beast Gear Podcast - HBG Podcast Episode #9 - Dan Infalt Marsh Bedding
play

03/20/16 • 50 min

The Big Buck Serial Killer Dan Infalt discusses the concepts covered in his new DVD release "Marsh Bedding".
Much of Dan's hunting philosophies are based on finding where bucks bed and understanding why bucks bed in those locations based on topography, thermals, wind, security, food sources, competition, and pressure.
The marsh provides a perfect learning ground for understanding these bedding philosophies as well as formulating a plan to ambush the buck your looking for.
What I learned:
- When scouting a marsh focus on the transition, the break between the timber and the cattails.
- Look for points, fingers, bowls, and islands along the transition. Bedding is typically located on the tips of these in transition to the marsh
- Study access trails from the marsh to the transition or from the marsh to a remote island. There is likely bedding at the end of those access trails.
- Don't be afraid to get close. Pushing your distance from bedding might give you the best chance of seeing a mature animal in daylight.
- Go where no one else is willing to go. People and predators avoid water. If you can cross water you increase your chances of success.

Hunting Beast Gear Podcast - HBG Podcast Episode #7 - Joe Elsinger Whitetail Tactics
play

02/22/16 • 111 min

Well know Hunting Beast Member Joe Elsinger also know as JoeRE on the forum shares his tips and tactics for hunting Hill Country bucks in Northeast Iowa.
Joe shares his evolution as a hunter. Much of the time spent growing up on a farm in Northeast Iowa honed his outdoorsmanship from tracking, trapping, shooting, glassing, and living off the land.
What I learned:
- There is no substitute for time on foot, and time in the outdoors all year long. Scout and prep twice as many areas as you want to hunt.
- Pick your properties often, and early. Get boots on the ground to survey what is available.
- Plan your approach. Monitor more properties than you can hunt. This allows you the flexibility to pin point hunts during the season.
- Differentiate early season bedding, fall bedding, and pre-rut bedding etc..
- Know how thermals behave in hill country can allow you to hunt less than favorable winds.
- Understand how your food sources will impact the areas you are hunting; crop rotation, acorn crops, and more.
- A minimalist approach to equipment. Take what you use not necessarily what you think you need.
- In hill country, the bigger the hills, the harder the access, the less hunting pressure
- Tracks can allow you identify specific deer on various properties in combination with observations (glassing, shining, cameras)
- First time sits are critical
- We all have to play a part in sharing our outdoor heritage with our family, friends, and beyond.
