Hey everyone, welcome to episode 180 of the Antler Up Podcast!
On this week's episode I was joined by Jake Vernon!! Jake resides in PA, but had a really unique upbringing when it came to hunting. Growing up Jake traveled a lot to Kentucky to hunt whitetail, then had the opportunity to live in Montana. This is where Jake seemed to really sharpen his skills as a whitetail hunter. In this specific episode Jake and I cover a variety of topics and stories. To go along with this episode, please head over to our website www.antlerupoutdoors.com and on our In the Field page, Jake has an article written for you all. So, listen to today’s episode and head over there to read his piece.   
Kicking this episode off, Jake introduces his interesting upbringing when it came to whitetail hunting. This was a story unlike any that I have heard so far. I really enjoyed Jake sharing his story and then talking about his experience getting his son into the outdoors and particularly archery. Following this discussion Jake shares some stories about the time he lived in Montana and the tactics they used to hunt whitetail and how these strategies have evolved for him over the years. Jake and I shared a similar story when we hit our early 20’s in that we got back into bowhunting. From there Jake discusses how the last few years he has been successful in an unorthodox way. When listening to Jake you just hear how much he just loves hunting whitetail and isn’t afraid to be different. For example, Jake does not spend a ton of time scouting during the “post-season” time frame, but rather uses the rifle season to hunt but scout for next year's bow season as well. Throwing this strategy on top of his preferred method of archery, Jake just simply grinds to be the best hunter and archer he can be. We wrap things up discussing goals, build upon your experience in the woods and upcoming plans for this year. 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!
