Dropping Pins: Josh Beaman
Manage episode 459586314 series 2937212
In this episode of dropping pins, Derek sits down with Josh Beaman, a Wisconsin native who lives in the Fox Valley area. Josh talks about how he got interested in hunting big deer by going to college at UW Madison, and exploring the driftless region of Southwestern, Wisconsin. We dive into tactics for thinking about and starting to hunt hill country. Josh explained some basic ideas that he’s learned from the hunting beast and other resources throughout the years.
Josh then discusses how he’s used these tactics to find success on mature bucks on the property he is now hunting. Josh explains a story of how he killed a 170 inch buck with his bow this past year on a ridge hub in which several ridges came together. We talk a little bit about mature buck tendencies, and how they move through the hills as they relate to wind and thermals. We also discuss advantages and disadvantages to hunting in the hills at different times of the year.
The tail end of the episode features our first “the ones that got away“ segment in which Josh walks through a bow hunting mist that still haunt him today
