#398 - The Truth About Eating a Tag: Why an "Unsuccessful" Season Makes Better Hunters with Clint Campbell

January 13
1h 5m

Episode Description

Welcome to the WHTL Podcast, presented by Moultrie. Your source for Whitetail Deer Hunting Tactics, Stories & Expert Guests. In this episode, we're back in the studio with Clong time friend of the podcast Clint Campbell! We Discuss:
  • Filling a tag early can limit how much you actually learn in a season

  • Eating a tag often leads to more time, reps, and real woodsmanship

  • Shrinking public access concentrates pressure and changes deer behavior

  • If deer disappear when you hunt, your wind or access is likely the issue

  • Overhunting "safe" spots kills long-term opportunity

  • Chasing one mature buck demands realistic expectations

  • Conditions matter more than calendar dates

  • Midweek hunts can outperform weekends on pressured ground

  • Lack of offseason prep compounds problems in-season

  • Nobody is keeping score except you

And So Much More!
