Hunting the Unexpected with Travis Melochick

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 172 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode I was joined by fellow Pennsylvania native Travis Melochick.  Travis and I grew up in the same area in NEPA. Travis runs the Anthracite Antler Addict content page.  Take it from the name, Travis cut his teeth growing up chasing bucks in the mountains of the coal region.  No easy task, but Travis continues to put in the work and reps the rewards.  One aspect that Travis and I both believe in when it comes to hunting is the non-stop passion for learning, growing and developing as a hunter.  I think you all will enjoy this week's episode because Travis and I cover a few different topics relating to the whitetail woods.

Kicking this episode off we get an introduction on how Travis began tackling the tough terrain of the coal region.  Then we transition to stories and lessons learned from this past hunting season.  We discussed what Travis keys in on during his scouting missions, how he specifically prioritizes the pieces he plans to hunt.  Loved this specific discussion.  Then we get into scrape talk, deer calling, scouting for future hunts, hunting in specific elevations and of course some trail cam talk.   I believe you will take a lot away from this episode and I look forward to spending some time with Travis this summer when scouting! Also, check out our website under the “In the Field” tab for an article Travis wrote! It is a great one for any level hunter! Check it out and let us know what you think!  Enjoy this fun episode and see you next week! 

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