On this outtro Jacob and Andrew discuss overlaps with several past guests strategies when it comes to both terrain and thermals. We recently took a scouting trip to some mountains in AL to put these ideas to the test and were not disappointed with what we found! Subjects:

• Slope angle shading and finding transitions between shades to look at
• Some crazy bedding in the steep terrain, including a bed in a small cave
• Learning how to identify areas where a thermal will fall late into the morning, or even all day
• Why we think Chuck Young can get away with playing the wind like he does in the mountains
• An update from a card pull at Andrew's hunting club
• and much more!

With the huge wave of great feedback from our episode with Chuck Young we decided we had to have him back on! Chuck did not disappoint in part 2 diving in on:

• Hunting the windward side of ridges rather than the leeward side
• A thermal "hack" Chuck uses to catch bucks completely off guard on morning hunts
• A clever scent trick Chuck utilizes sometimes to not only attract bucks, but also keep him from getting busted
• A deep dive on terrain features & how Chuck finds features worth hunting on a map
• The one map tool that really helps Chuck narrow down spots to hunt
• Several questions submitted from our patreon members
• How Chuck finds great deer sign & then relates that sign to areas he can actually hunt the bucks effectively (i.e. using night sign to key in on daylight areas)
