10-9-17: Risk vs. Reward, Don’t Blow It | Midwest Whitetail
Season 4, Episode 8 • 20m
The theme of this week’s episode is Risk vs Reward. Anytime you go into the woods, you risk educating the deer you are hunting. Sometimes the risk makes sense and sometimes it doesn’t. Mike Reed and Bill Winke unpack this subject in the form of two early season hunts. Mike also discusses how staging area plots work. Then, Bill demonstrates how to backtrack a buck that is moving right at the edge of legal shooting time in an effort to find areas where he is killable.
