Aggressive Deer Hunting Strategies & Mindset w/ Wade Childs

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 162 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode Dimitri and I were joined by Michigan native Wade Childs.  This episode was a blast to record! I heard some awesome hunting stories from mutual friend Andrew Blair and I knew immediately I wanted to get Wade on the show! This has a lot of great information in it regarding whitetails, specifically hunting more aggressive!  

To start this episode off we chat about all the different states that Wade got to hunt and the different terrain, habitat and challenges these states offered.  From his home state of MI, MO, IL and IA.  From here, Wade discusses how he uses an aggressive mindset/strategy to combat the pressure he is seeing in the woods from other hunters.  We also talk about what sign he likes to prioritize when finding “the spot” to hunt.  .

Wade had another awesome season by killing a great buck in both IA and IL, while also filling 4 doe tags in MI.  I loved hearing some of the key tactics that Wade has adopted over the years bowhunting.  A few things stood out to me about his aggressive style and I hope some do for you as well!  You will also hear how much stock Wade puts into his postseason scouting, which is always a fun topic to discuss! Enjoy this fun episode!  

Thanks again for all the support and best of luck out there and Antler Up!
