My god man why are you not the most popular guy in hunting! Your the real deal and can explain things to me better than I can explain them to myself. It’s rare a podcast host is as good at hunting than the guest. I wish nothing but the best for you brother! Stick with it! There is no better.

[@BeauMartonik]

I really appreciate it!! Means a lot. Hope you have a happy new year!

[@normankaster917]

Nailed it dude....I don't run cameras.... So gage deer tracks based off of width from side to side ( left to right foot) and length of stride front to back.Find a good track and back track it to where he was.

[@Qbynordi]

Big woods/mountain buck bedding seems to be more of a fluid than a solid. These podcasts help conceptualize this process to figure out where to start.

[@BeauMartonik]

Great way of looking at it! There’s no absolute with it in my opinion.

[@papatriots3529]

I love these specific q&a man it's like i asked the question myself! I use your information and my own intel i feel a little more confident

[@BeauMartonik]

Glad to hear it! Thank you very much. Happy new year!

[@robertbergeron9524]

great info even for non mountian hunters

[@BeauMartonik]

Thanks Robert!

[@edwardvargas7014]

hi beau, question, im ed from New Jersey, is there any deer in voorhees state forest. or stokes state forest. and how do you find big bucks in New Jersey. thanks ed

[@charlesleblanc6638]

Good stuff.. Its tuff in big woods to find their beds, its seems they can flop anywhere. I'm out scouting a lot and almost year round and to actually find where Bucks bed even if I got them in daylight I can't seem to pinpoint anything solid.

[@BeauMartonik]

Thank you! Ya it’s tough. I would hear others talking about it in different places and just couldn’t replicate it with success.

[@curtismerriman9956]

I like them but I’m bad at social media so all I can do is leave a comment!

[@michaelatkinson3033]

What app or website are you using to find wind direction from a past date?

[@BeauMartonik]

Spartan Forge will show trends of wind for past months that I use for looking for likely bedding spots based on the predominant winds for that month, but for specific days looking at trail cam data or sightings, I use weather underground.
