On today's episode of the Exodus Podcast, Jake sits down with vetinarian and avid deer hunter Clint McCoy. Clint shares tips on summer scouting and the importance of scent control in deer hunting. He discusses the anatomy of a deer's nose and how they recall smells, common deer hunting myths and misconceptions and creating entry and access routes, and self-filming in the deer hunting world. We discuss:
- Deer can and do learn for their lifetime, making them harder to kill the more scents they have in their memory
- The Proust phenomenon in deer causes them to have instant involuntary recall of scents tied to memory and learning
- The Proust phenomenon is an instantaneous and non-voluntary flashback that usually triggers an "oh shit" moment for the deer
- Bucks are less likely to be able to pick up scent trails in hot and dry weather
- Keep boots and clothing as natural and clean as possible to avoid leaving a scent signature
- Summer scouting is critical for success in the whitetail woods
- Summer soak cameras should be placed on interior hub scrapes, transition trails, and potential bedding sites
- Catalog an inventory list of target bucks for the upcoming season
- Don't rely solely on soybean fields for food sources
- Browse species in the area should be prioritized when scouting for food sources
- Diversify your buck target list to avoid putting all your eggs in one basket
- Access is critical to pre-hung setups

Over the last 4 years of running 75+ trail cameras company-wide, we’ve realized not all camera setups are the same. However, all trail camera setups can be broken down into 2 very simple, basic categories. Understanding those categories will not only allow you to be efficient with your cameras but it will also save you time and money.

This week we dive into all things topo maps!
Topo maps have a variety of applications, but when talked about in the hunting community it's generally related to scouting where folks are using them to identify key terrain features. Whether you're a new hunter or you have a few seasons under your belt, topo maps can seem a bit more intimidating than satellite imagery. However, if you want to hunt whitetail deer in hill country being able to read topo maps is a necessity

Mobile hunting has become a necessity for any hunter accessing public land, or making a strategic move on private land. As hunting pressure on public land continues to increase while access to private land decreases, today's hunter needs gear that is quiet, lightweight, and durable, giving them the mobile advantage to quickly change locations based on hunting pressure, weather conditions, land access, and game movement.
That's why Dan developed the Beast Climbing Sticks. We learn all the details surrounding the creation and execution of this project.
