In this episode of the Deer IQ podcast we are continuing our exciting series - Mature Buck Mindsets. Looking at the mind of big bucks, and big buck hunters, and just how exceptionally different they are. I’m joined by a guest that knows all about taking great bucks - Bill Winke, who has been writing about and videoing these giants of the woods for decades. Please don’t mind the background noise as Bill was outdoors and this was recording this past summer. And bonus points if you can ID the bird that keeps singing in the background and won’t  shut up! But, we get into the great lengths you have to be willing to go to to get consistent chances at great deer - and  it’s more than most people probably do.  And you can download our free journal to use with the podcast, that’s really going to help not miss any of the great content. So here are the top things to look for during this episode:• What does Bill say about hunting “nocturnal” bucks?• How do you decide when to pursue a buck versus back off and just let him go, regardless of how big he is?• According to Bill, what’s the best thing you can hope for when pursuing a mature buck?• What is Bill talking about when he says you should “hunt backwards”• When does most of the educating of deer actually taking place?• Why did Bill camp under his treestand, and what vital things did he learn from this tactic of extra effort?And a lot more!Year Theme: To consistently take the top deer where you huntSeries: Epic Hunting AdventuresEpisode # 75Guest: Host Adam Lewis, Bill WinkeIQ ranking - 5 (intermediate)DEER IQ Services:  • The NEW Deer IQ TEST & Consultation HERE: https://deeriq.com/full-assessment/ • For interest in our NEW Whitetail Workshop see HERE: https://deeriq.com/deeriq-whitetail-workshop/ • Other Services including 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/
