Welcome to the Wired to Hunt podcast podcast this week on the show i'm

joined by dan johnson to discuss the particularly challenging white tail rut that we both just experienced

and our ideas and strategies for the weeks to come.

All right, welcome back to the Wired to Hunt podcast brought to you by First Life and their Camel for Conservation Initiative.

And today I am joined by my good buddy, Mr. Dan Johnson.

And we are going to be discussing and breaking down kind of,

I guess, like a Monday morning quarterback kind of session on the rut.

What we just experienced here in November of 2024, the hunts that we had, the experiences

that we had, some thoughts on why we and so many other people thought this was such a

weird, slow, bizarre, challenging rut for so many of us. So we're going to discuss that,

kind of discuss some of the different thoughts that we had on what we personally saw, as well as some

higher level maybe impacts that are kind of hitting folks across

the board. And then we're also going to talk through some of the things that worked, some of the

things that led to Dan having success. We get a success story for Daniel Johnson here in November.

And then finally, we're going to walk through some of our thoughts on what all this means for the future, how we can take some of these lessons learned and apply them to the weeks to come and this kind of second, maybe it's more like the third, the last third of the season, maybe second half, maybe last third of the season, whatever it is, we're on the downward slope, folks.

We are past mid-November. We are entering a different phase of the season, whatever it is, we're on the downward slope, folks. We are past mid-November.
