548 - Finding a Buck Based on Midnight Pics, Naming Public Lands or "Hotspotting", Breaking down Big Parels

Today we are tackling some more listener Q&A questions, after a 30-minute discussion on Jacob's recent riverbottom hunt! Timestamps for questions are: 35:35 - "Hot-spotting" or naming public land spots & its impacts 45:06 - Determining buck bedding based on midnight pictures 57:13 - How to know where to start with so much public land available to hunt

In our conversation about Jacob's hunt, we also discuss the feast or famine reality of hunting a January rut, and how the vegetation this time of year creates a unique situation when it comes to hunting deer. We also talk about how that can be both an advantage, or a disadvantage.
