October is moving fast, and conditions are changing across whitetail country. This week, Kaitlyn Maus checks in from the Midwest as she prepares to head to Wisconsin, Aaron Hepler brings us the latest from Pennsylvania, and Dan Tutor reports from the big woods of Maine. We break down what each hunter is seeing right now - from current deer movement and fresh sign to food sources, weather, and how October patterns are beginning to shift. With three very different regions represented, we get a boots-on-the-ground look at how whitetails are behaving as we move another week closer to the heart of the season. Tune in for fresh, in-season whitetail intel and a look at what’s happening in the woods right now.
