Whitetail Rut Tactics + Buying Land
John sits down with Jordan Blissett to break down practical rut strategies—how to read phases (seeking, chasing, lockdown), pick high-odds terrain, manage wind the smart way, and decide when to call or stay silent. Then they pivot to buying land for whitetails: access and neighborhood first, must-have habitat features, quick-win improvements, and rookie pitfalls to avoid.
Highlights

Calling & decoys: when they help—and when they burn a spot
Pressure management on small tracts
Land buying: access, cover diversity, neighbors, red flags
First-year improvements that move the needle
