On this episode of The Wisconsin Sportsman, Pierce is joined by Brian Dombrowski to dive into how to hunt with the woods and not against it! Brian is a diehard whitetail hunter from central Wisconsin who spends more time scouting and burning boot leather to find big deer than just about anyone. In this conversation, the guys discuss how his post-season scouting transitions into pre-season scouting, a recap of his Illinois hill country hunt last fall and things that translated from that hunt to back home, mature buck bedding and how big deer put terrain between you and them, striking a balance between scouting and trail cameras, late-season tactics, and tons more!

Huge thanks to Brian for coming back on the show! Follow along with his season on social media @shadow_pursuits and RSVP to the Okayest Hunter E-Scouting to In-Season Scouting Workshop on August 22nd, to see how we e-scout in-person!

RSVP to our Deer Season Kickoff on Wednesday, August 12th @ 6pm at The Great Dane in Fitchburg!
