Ep. 264: Deer Hunting Fresh Sign vs. Historical Data with Andy May and Garrett Prahl

On this episode of the East Meets West Hunt podcast, Beau Martonik is joined by Andy May and Garrett Prahl (The DIY Sportsman). This recording came from a Spartan Forge Instagram Live event back in the summer but is relevant to the beginning of October. They discuss relocating bucks in the fall, how to hunt an area with too many acorns, following a specific buck through the whole season, using the journal feature in Spartan Forge, hunting off instinct vs. data, doe groups, and much more.
