Ep. 118: Keys to Consistent Success Hunting Mountain Bucks with Nathan Killen

On this episode of the East Meets West Hunt podcast, Beau Martonik is joined by Nathan Killen coming out of the mountains of southern Virginia. Nathan had an amazing 2019 deer season, but his consistency in killing mature deer every year is even more impressive. We talk about buck bedding, precision stand placement, hunting the same stand more than once, egress/regress and much more! In addition, Nathan wrote an article for me on some of these topics available at www.eastmeetswesthunt.com/journal.
