GPS-collar research has revealed some surprising truths about mature bucks—and much of it flies in the face of conventional hunting wisdom. In this episode, we break down what the data actually says, how it has changed the way we hunt, and why some of the best deer in the woods may be much closer than you think.

In this episode:

  • Why mature bucks are often found surprisingly close to roads and parking areas
  • What years of GPS collar research has taught us about deer movement
  • The biggest misconceptions hunters have about bedding areas
  • Why focusing on individual buck beds may not be the best strategy
  • How terrain and habitat work together to influence deer behavior
  • Why hunting success involves more luck than many hunters want to admit
  • Practical ways to use deer behavior research to become a better hunter
  • How to think differently about pressure, access, and overlooked areas
