Early October is here, and knowing when to push in on a mature buck can be the difference between getting an opportunity and watching the season pass you by. In this episode, Jared and Jeremy break down what they’re seeing from mature bucks right now and how aggressive they’re willing to get with their setups. They also get into public land hunting and the bigger challenges facing whitetail management across the country. As October gets underway, the decisions only get tougher and the margin for error gets smaller. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.
