Ep. 149: Making Hunting Fun Again with Zach Ferenbaugh // The Hunting Public

On this episode of the East Meets West Hunt podcast, Beau Martonik is joined by Zach Ferenbaugh of The Hunting Public. Zach is not only a successful deer hunter across the country, but his attitude is infectious for those around him. He shares his stories and lessons learned hunting public land in all areas of the country at all times of the year. We discuss hunting from the ground, hunting the Appalachian region, understanding how to read sign in different areas, breaking down a new area, scouting in-season, identifying different food sources and more!
