#132 - Reading Thermals in Hill Country w/Jeff Sturgis
Monday Nov 02, 2020
Monday Nov 02, 2020
Sometimes hunting big ridge systems can seem like a nightmare for swirling winds. But Jeff Sturgis believes if you learn how wind is effected by thermals in hill country you can actually begin to "cheat" the wind and hunt certain spots with multiple winds. In this episode, Jeff and Zach discuss different situations in hill country and how they would play the wind and thermals to their advantage. They discuss a lot from the basics of thermals to specific setup scenarios and what they would expect wind to do in those setups.
Topics Include:
-the basics of thermals in the hills
-how to "cheat the wind"
-where to setup based off the thermals and how that changes throughout the day

#130 - October in Hill Country w/Keith Robinson
Monday Oct 19, 2020
Monday Oct 19, 2020
Zach and Keith discuss hunting in hill country during October and some of the things they have learned this season. Solid stands of timber and maximum foliage cover can be overwhelming when hunting early in the season in hilly terrain. Not only does it seem like deer can be anywhere but changing thermals create wind conditions that make it seem impossible to setup. In this episode, we talk about our approach to finding deer in the dense forests of Ohio and some things were learned from blown setups. Keith also tells the story of how he setup on a bedding ridge in the first week of October and had a mature buck do exactly what he needed him to for a shot!
Topics Include:
-reading thermals throughout the day
-bedding shifts that happen throughout the month
-the story of how Keith killed his biggest buck in the first week of October
