You're Looking for Mature Bucks in the Wrong Places | HUNTR #345

Beau Martonik and Johnny Stewart join Jared and Jeremy for the annual Pennsylvania Roundtable to break down what it really takes to find and hunt mature whitetails. Johnny shares his pursuit of a giant Pennsylvania buck and how he pieced together its bedding area, travel routes, and daily movements. The guys discuss reading deer sign, understanding mountain thermals, hunting pressure, and the overlooked areas where mature bucks spend their time. As always, we appreciate Beau and Johnny for joining us on the show.
