On this episode of the East Meets West Hunt podcast, Beau Martonik is joined by Steve Sherk of Sherk’s Guide Service for a two-part Mountain buck scouting series. Steve guides and hunts the big woods public land in northern Pennsylvania with great success. Steve and I talk about his lessons learned from the past season and then transition into post-season and spring scouting. Topics include getting a post-season buck inventory, how to scout a brand new area in the spring, finding mature buck bedding areas, and clustering trail cameras to figure out how to hunt the buck bedding.
