#364 - I Didn't Put Any Trail Cameras Out In July, Is It Too Late To Start Putting Them Out? We Asked 8 Whitetail Experts Their Thoughts!

Welcome to the WHTL Podcast, presented by Moultrie. Your source for Whitetail Deer Hunting Tactics, Stories & Expert Guests. On this week's episode, we're bringing you a brand new format. We spent the summer talking to 8 different whitetail experts as part of a mini series for The Wired To Hunt Podcast on the MeatEater Podcast Network. We asked Bobby Kendell, Skip Sligh, Bill Winke, Don Higgins, Jeff Sturgis, Steve Hanson, Thomas Mlsna, and Mark Kenyon 8 different questions to see how each is different/the same in the whitetail ideology and tactics.

This is the first episode in the mini series, with the remaining 8 going live over on The Wired To Hunt Podcast. We discuss:

• Don't panic if you haven't set up your trail cameras yet; there's still time.
• Historical data is crucial; lean on past experiences to guide your scouting.
• Focus on food sources and pinch points when placing cameras.
• Use glassing to identify deer movement before deploying cameras.
• If you can't glass, look for mineral spots or use corn to attract deer.
• Set cameras at stand locations to monitor deer movement effectively.
• Don't be afraid to scout aggressively; it can provide valuable intel.
• Use mock scrapes to attract deer and gather information year-round.
• Remember, deer behavior changes; summer patterns may not reflect fall movements.
• Take a breath and develop a plan; you're not as behind as you think!

And so much more!
