Beau Martonik sits down at deer camp with Jason Redd and Ryan Luckadoo from Timber Ninja Outdoors for a wide-open conversation about the chaos, lessons, and laughs from a week in the West Virginia mountains. The guys dive into how they’ve been approaching the rut, the challenges of hunting new terrain, and the role scent and setups played in their decisions. They also get into some of the realities of joining a hunting lease—run-ins with neighbors, navigating local expectations, and figuring out how to fit into a new area the right way. Jason and Beau give a look at some of the new Timber Ninja gear they’ve been running, including the Frostline hand warmer and boot covers designed to make long sits more comfortable. And as always, the stories from camp steal the show—from close calls to learning moments to Ryan tagging a great buck. It’s the kind of episode that reminds you why time at deer camp matters just as much as the hunting itself.

Beau Martonik hits the Appalachian Mountains with Nathan Killen and Jason Redd of Timber Ninja Outdoors to talk about scouting and hunting tactics during the second half of the rut—when deer activity begins to taper off but opportunities still exist for giants for those who adapt. Nathan breaks down how buck behavior shifts as the peak fades, with food sources and remaining hot does driving movement. The crew discusses how to recognize fresh sign, adjust stand access and setups, and use trail cameras strategically to stay in the game as the rut slows down. They also reflect on how their hunting mindsets have evolved, from chasing obvious sign to keying in on subtle patterns that consistently produce mature bucks in big woods terrain.

Beau Martonik sits down with his cousin Mason, Uncle Mike, and his dad Joe Martonik to talk about rut hunting in the Big Woods. The crew dives into November strategies, from hunting downwind of doe bedding and reading hot sign, to ground game tactics, decoy setups, and calling sequences that work when bucks are cruising. They also share thoughts on dealing with warm weather, keeping confidence through slow hunts, and the mental side of grinding out the rut. It’s a real, tactic-packed conversation straight from deer camp.

It’s the best time of year for whitetail hunters — the rut. But as exciting as it is, most of it’s a grind. In this episode, I’m breaking down six key things I focus on every year to stay in the game during the whitetail rut. From finding rut funnels and community scrapes to knowing when to stay put, these are the lessons that keep me patient and consistent through the chaos.

On this episode of the East Meets West Hunt podcast, Beau Martonik is joined by Dr. Karl Miller of the University of Georgia to talk all about a whitetail deer’s senses. Through years of research and experience, he has learned a lot about how and why a whitetail deer does what it does. We discuss deer vision, sense of hearing and sense of smell. Through breaking these down, we bring up topics including if camouflage is really important, understanding what each of the glands do, rubber boots vs. leather boots, scent control and how you can use this information to become a better hunter.

The most appealing of these hunts happens to be the OTC mule deer option to hunt the rut with a bow in late December/early January, so we talk in detail about this and how Arizona works.
