Ep 54: Hunt Smarter, Kill Bigger Bucks | Scrapes, Scent, & Whitetail Strategy
Friday, 4 September, 2026
Deer season is here, and Dan DeWitt is back at the Spotted Dog Podcast table with Nolan, Cory Bahr, and Zach Poole for a deep dive into whitetail hunting.Dan shares decades of hunting experience and breaks down how he uses mock scrapes, scent, trail cameras, terrain, thermals, feeding schedules, and hunting pressure to pattern mature bucks. The guys get into early-season and velvet tactics, why the first big October cold front can be so productive, using topo maps to find saddles and travel corridors, conditioning deer around feeders and cameras, and some unconventional tactics that might make you rethink the way you hunt.They also recap the Idaho spring bear hunt, talk 7mm Backcountry rifles and mountain hunting gear, debate Louisiana deer management and “earn-a-buck” regulations, and hear some incredible stories from Dan’s hunts across Africa.From chasing bears in the Idaho mountains to figuring out a mature whitetail in your own backyard, this one is packed with hunting stories, laughs, and tactics you can put to work this season.Plus, Tax Free Weekend is happening September 4–6 at Spotted Dog Sporting Goods in Columbia, Louisiana.https://www.spotteddogsportinggoods.com/
