In this episode, NVGC & Bass Pro Shops Pro Staffer Caleb Currence breaks down “scouting in a circle” — how to loop terrain, read fresh sign, and use wind, edges, and terrain features to triangulate buck movement. We dive into mast conditions and how acorn crops shift deer patterns, plus what to watch as pre‑rut turns to peak rut: timing, travel corridors, scrapes, and mid‑day sits. Caleb also shares how he uses the onX Hunt app for e‑scouting, waypoints, tracks, access, and wind checks, along with practical, low‑impact tactics to tighten your setup without burning spots. This conversation ties directly into our Whitetail Weekly segments, where we cover topics like scouting strategy, mast cycles, and rut behavior—tune in each week for more actionable tips
