#292 - What You Need To Know Planning for Out-of-State Hunts with Beau Martonik and Johnny Stewart

On today's episode of the Exodus Podcast, Cameron chats with Beau Marton and Johnny Stewart at the Seven Springs Total Archery Challange about their different styles when it comes to planning for out-of-state hunts. They discuss strategies for finding safe zones for mature deer, including identifying areas with vegetation diversity and studying the terrain, tips for planning and scouting, emphasizing the importance of taking multiple years to get to know a state, and the importance of relying on reliable intel rather than emotions when making decisions while hunting. We discuss:

• Identify your hunting goals before picking a state to hunt in
• Plan on hunting a state for at least three years to get to know it
• It takes time to plan and hunt in a new area
• E-scouting is important, but useless if you dont put boots on the ground
• Mature deer live in places where they feel safe, which may not be the most obvious areas.
• Study the terrain to better understand how the deer will move 
• For early season hunting, a four-day plan is sufficient
• Boots on the ground scouting and camera placement can help find these safe zones.
• Hunting pressure can push mature bucks to seek safer areas.
• Be optimistic and don't let missed opportunities bring you down
• Focusing on states closer to home and with high deer densities to maximize his hunting time
• Hunting in safe zones requires understanding deer patterns and tendencies
• Trail cameras can help identify deer behavior and patterns.
• Evaluating pros and cons of a hunting spot can reveal the need to move
• Scouting and taking notes, as well as using trail cameras, can help with future hunts
• Taking the emotion out of a situation can help make better decisions

And so much more!
