616 - BIG Bucks in BIG WOODS - Early Season Bowhunting with Chad Grove

Today we talk with Chad Grove of West Virginia about all things early season bowhunting for whitetails. Chad bow hunts the big woods in WV and has developed early season tactics that have proven effective for him over the last 6+ years! Subjects include: - Why Chad takes his vacation early to bow hunt rather than waiting for the rut - Discerning a bed to food pattern in the big woods - How to find buck bedding areas in big woods areas - Cutting buck trails going from bed to food in the woods - Hunting big bucks on public land - Patterning a mature buck - Using historical trail cam data to predict where bucks are going to be on certain days and TONS more!
