In this episode of the HUNTR Podcast, we bring back Bobby Kendall of The Whitetail Group to discuss how he sets up his hunting properties to influence mature buck movement. Fresh off killing a 174-inch Illinois buck on opening night, Bobby breaks down how food plots, mowed corn, and strategic access helped put his target buck in bow range. We also dive into his recent encounters with giant whitetails, October hunting strategies, and how weather and moon position affect deer movement. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.
