Field and Stream contributor and passionate whitetail hunter Adam Lewis joins on this episode. We go into detail on his recent article titled We Know Big Bucks Disappear, Now We Know Where They Go. We’ve all likely been there before…hunting a mature buck that suddenly vanishes halfway through the season never to be seen again, only to show back up at the same time the following fall. So where did go? The neighbors property? Perhaps, but some recent research proves he might be in a completely different zip code.

That’s right, some bucks simply have two distinct home ranges that can be tens of miles apart from each other. Adam breaks down this reality and gives some in depth tips on how to pattern these deer and predict when they might return to your property. On the flipside, we also discuss the homebody bucks and how to increase your odds of how to kill these much more predictable deer. You can find more of Adam’s work at Field and Stream or by visiting his Deer IQ website.
