Episode Synopsis

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 joined by public land hunter and whitetail strategist Jon Lewis, who shares how chasing mature bucks across the East Coast and Midwest shaped his unique approach to deer hunting. We discuss: Why Eastern terrain, pressure, and deer density forge more adaptable hunters How Jon arrowed a mature public land buck on opening day by sticking to a simple but effective plan  The key difference between scrapes that get hit once and scrapes you can kill over - Misconceptions Midwest hunters have about hunting in New York, Pennsylvania, and New Hampshire  How Jon scouts smarter when summer glassing isn't an option  The importance of reading subtle sign and why most hunters overthink trail camera data  His framework for breaking down new properties—public or private  Why terrain, access, and consistency matter more than the size of your farm  How to keep things simple and build a system that works season after season  What Midwest hunters can actually learn from the East  And so much more!
