How close is too close? This week, Jack Huston (Missouri), Scott Peceny (Michigan), and Christian Babcock (Oklahoma) join the show with fresh, boots-on-the-ground reports from across whitetail country. The conversation centers around hunting close to bedding areas -how tight these hunters are willing to get, what they're seeing from bucks right now, and how their approach changes based on conditions and fresh sign. We also cover current deer movement, food sources, weather, and what’s changing as we move deeper into October. Tune in for real-time whitetail intel from three different regions and a look at what hunters are experiencing in the woods right now.
