#431 - Why You Should Stop Reading the Forecast and Start Reading the Calendar with Tyler and KC of The Element

Welcome to the WHTL Podcast, your source for Whitetail Deer Hunting Tactics, Stories & Expert Guests. In this episode, we're back in the studio with K.C. Smith and Tyler Jones.

We Discuss:

• Hunt the calendar first and let the weather be the tiebreaker.
• The warm-up day on the backside of a cold front can out-hunt the front itself.
• A stable wind matters more to a deer's comfort than a dropping temperature.
• Treating the whole season like a five-day hunt sharpens every access decision.
• Your most imperative hunt is the next one, not the one you kill on.
• A bright white flashlight and a slow tree read make blind morning hangs work.
• Pulling one sapling over with paracord is often the difference in a shot.
• The doe bleat can works because most hunters think it's too kitschy to carry.
• A buck already with a doe has no reason to answer aggressive calling.
• Setting your pack on the ground leaves scent that shuts deer down at 50 yards.

And So Much More!
