Dropping Pins: Anthony Heller of DeerVane

In this episode of dropping pins, Derek sits down with fellow podcast host Anthony Heller of the Deer Vane podcast. Anthony is a seasoned podcast who has logged more than 200 episodes on the Deer Vane podcast title. He’s also one hell of a deer hunter and in the past, few years has connected on some gorgeous books, both on private and public ground In this episode, we talk about multiple factors that have led to both his and Derek success over the years. Anthony breaks down a couple different ideas and tactics that have helped him learn, sometimes the hard way, to predict big buck travel, and when he can intercept them.  We talk about how time in the woods is such a contributing factor to success and how to optimize your time through the use of trail cameras, cell cameras, and monitoring the weather for things like weather changes, cold fronts and wind switches. We also discussed the placement of trail cams over scrapes and Nir hunting locations to maximize the time that you do get in the woods as a busy adult. Anthony then walks us through both of his  big buck kills  from the previous season and the factors that led to him being in that spot and also how we made it happen from the ground on a beautiful public land buck.  Plenty of big buck ideas and nuances have been discussed in this podcast, and I’m sure you’ll have lots to learn.
