February 3
1h 4m

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 Kip Adams. We Discuss:
  • Mature bucks are trained nocturnal, not naturally nocturnal

  • Access mistakes teach deer when not to move

  • Bedding security matters more than food proximity

  • Small properties have the smallest margin for error

  • Over-hunting ruins daylight movement

  • Soil health directly affects antler potential

  • Social stress shapes buck movement and survival

  • Habitat tells you when deer numbers are too high

  • Stand placement should come before habitat work

  • Low-impact hunting creates daylight opportunities

And So Much More!
