In this episode of the Deer IQ podcast we are in the first episode in our exciting and highly eye-opening new series - Mature Buck Mindsets. Looking at the mind of big bucks, and big buck hunters and just how they are exceptionally different than most. And again the season theme is how to consistently take the top deer where you hunt. In this episode I’m with the infamous Tony Lapratt who I joined at his house / museum, and he reveals what over 40 years of studying deer and doing thousands of land plans for hunters has taught him about the biggest and smartest bucks out there. It’s a really good and High IQ talk,  and you can download our free journal below to use with the podcast, that’s really going to help keep track of all the nuggets of whitetail wisdom. So here are the top things to look for during this episode:• From Tony’s years of experience, what does he say is different about a mature buck than all other deer?• What are the biggest mistakes hunters make when hunting mature bucks, that they keep repeating and don’t even realize?• What are the mindsets that consistent mature buck hunters have, what do they understand, that other hunters do not?• Why don’t most hunters get a stockpile of big bucks on their property?• What are Tony’s thoughts about shooting does and why does he think this?• Exactly when does Tony start hunting, and why does he choose this precise time?• How do you know if you’re doing good and not pressuring your property?• What is the real cause of big bucks avoiding certain areas, like your stand locations?And much more! Year Theme: To consistently take the top deer where you huntSeries: Mature Buck MindsetsEpisode # 72Guest: Host Adam Lewis, Tony LaprattIQ ranking - 10 (advanced)Tony Lapratt's website: https://www.tonylapratt.com/ DEER IQ Services:  • The NEW Deer IQ TEST & Consultation HERE: https://deeriq.com/full-assessment/ • For interest in a our Advanced Whitetail Workshop: https://deeriq.com/deeriq-whitetail-workshop/ • Other Services Overview: our Coached Small Group, land and hunting plans for your private land,  or a public land hunting analysis, visit HERE: https://deeriq.com/services/   More from DEER IQ:  Website: https://deeriq.com Facebook Private Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/511109237864762 Deer IQ  FREE Journal: https://deeriq.com/journal/ Pressured Public Lands Hunting Guide:  https://deeriq.com/public-land-hunting-guide/ Newsletter Signup: https://deeriq.com/signup/ Patreon - Contribute Financially to Deer IQ: https://www.patreon.com/DeerIQPatreon Scent Control Regimen: https://deeriq.com/scentcontrol-regimen/
