EP 537 | Acorns Are Falling… Now What? | Early Season Whitetails

Early October can be one of the most overlooked opportunities of the entire whitetail season—but when the acorns start dropping, the deer can change their patterns fast. In this episode, Arron sits down with Alex to talk about preparing for the early season, finding deer as food sources begin to change, and the importance of putting the pieces together before hunting pressure ramps up. They break down this year’s heavy red and shingle oak crop, how it’s influencing bedding and travel, and how they’re using fresh sign, scrapes, and doe family groups to begin narrowing down where mature bucks are spending their time. Arron also talks about making the switch from a compound to a 57-inch recurve and the challenges of shooting traditional equipment from a saddle, while Alex shares his thoughts on hunting hill country, managing thermals, and the realities of side-hilling to keep the wind in your favor. The guys also look ahead to upcoming hunts in Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma as the season begins to build toward the rut. Early season is here. The deer are changing, the woods are changing, and now is the time to start figuring out where that buck is going to be.  . . .
