EP. 423: Decoding Mature Bucks | Hill Country | Tony Van Asten
In this episode, I’m joined by Tony Van Asten for a deep dive into the world of deer hunting. We talk through everything from the quirks of mature buck behavior to the impact of weather on deer health and how it shapes hunting strategies. Tony shares his personal journey from novice to seasoned hunter, and we explore how local knowledge and building connections with other hunters can change the game.
We also tackle the dynamics of hunting different terrains, the mental fortitude needed for success, and how to adapt when things don’t go as planned. Along the way, we reflect on the highs and lows of chasing mature deer—the thrill of close encounters, the sting of missed opportunities, and the lessons that stick with you.
