Summary
Is the moon actually helping you kill deer, or are hunters putting too much stock into it? Joe and Adam Hays dive into the moon debate and whether lunar phases really make a difference when chasing mature whitetails. They also talk early season prep, targeting Joe's elusive swamp buck, and the challenges that come with hunting deer you’ve been watching for years. Plus, Adam breaks down a new lighted nock innovation designed to let the hunter track the arrow without giving the deer an obvious flash to react to.
