Podcast appearances and mentions of nathan killen

Today, we are doing a THROWBACK to one of our favorite scouting episodes! Nathan Killen & Rusty Johnson are both top-notch hunters when it comes to targeting mature bucks on public land, and on this episode, we had them both on to discuss their post-season scouting strategies. Rusty Johnson and Nathan Killen have several things in common, things like consistently tagging some of the biggest bucks in their area, and a love for post-season scouting & shed hunting. Both Rusty and Nathan attribute a lot of their success to the work they are putting in right now to learn their woods, sharpen their wordsmanship skills, locate surviving bucks and find sheds. We got Nathan and Rusty on at the same time to dive into this subject and share their knowledge, as well as bounce things off one another. As Nathan says in this episode, iron sharpens iron and the guys get into a lot of great information here. Make sure you share this podcast with a buddy and leave us a 5 star review on itunes!

Nathan and I dive into some of our personal hunts, breaking down how we approach scouting and what deer behavior is telling us this time of year. We get into the nitty-gritty of finding those historical signs, the perfect setups, and adjusting your strategy as things change in the woods. We also touch on the mental game of hunting—how patience, persistence, and staying sharp can make all the difference, especially when you're chasing bucks in rugged, mountainous terrain. Nathan shares some killer insights on adapting your game plan as you pick up new info in the field. We even get into how visualization plays a huge role in preparing for the hunt. To wrap things up, we talk about our favorite times to be in the woods and the importance of enjoying the process, no matter how much you think you know—because hunting's all about learning.
