EP#155 Deer don't read the rulebook with Derek Malcore
On todays episode I'm joined by Derek Malcore from the Okayest Hunter Podcast. We sit down for a wide ranging conversation about our approach to deer hunting has changed over the years. We talk about the hunting myths and “rules” we’ve had to unlearn, why mature bucks can’t always be hunted by following conventional wisdom, and how paying attention to fresh sign, habitat, access, and deer behavior can completely change the way you hunt. We also get into hunting with and without trail cameras, finding unconventional access routes, adapting to public-land pressure, and why simplifying your gear and trusting your scouting can lead to better hunts. Along the way, we share plenty of personal stories, failures, lessons learned, and thoughts on balancing hunting with family and everyday life. Ultimately, this episode is about evolving as a hunter, being willing to challenge what you think you know, and learning to enjoy the process rather than obsessing over the outcome.
