020 - Splitting Hairs and The Red Moon w/ Adam Hays
Episode notes
HOT TAKE! Whitetails can sense the moon?! Adam Hays has a unique take on the moon and it just may change how you think about the moon and deer hunting. Yes, we know, there have been a lot of studies done about whitetails and the moon and the results suggest that the moon has no effect on deer. With that being said, as we discussed the topic with Adam, it is hard to argue with the way he describes the moon and its relation to whitetails. I mean, he does have a wall of giant deer to prove what he is saying.
Is the moon the main contributing factor to a whitetail's day time movements, no. But it is one factor, and when it is added in with other factors like wind and weather, it sure does make sense.
NOT ONLY THAT, but we talked with Adam about stacking the deck in your favor and splitting hairs to kill giant whitetails. You almost have to hunt the wrong wind for you in order to kill a giant sometimes?! So no more, we are listening intently!
You don't want to miss this one! This is some great info from a man who has been hunting for 45 years and knocking down giants all along.
