• Complete Deer IQ Assessment – discover your strengths, weaknesses, and exact areas to focus on to transform into a more consistent, highly effective hunter. Smart hunting goals will be covered and also be set from this evaluation. No other course or workshop in the industry has this, which is a tool that will put you years ahead in your hunting journey, and allow you to focus on the things that will actually take you to the next level. 
• Classroom deep dives into the 6 vital steps to take mature bucks consistently (a totally different animal that takes exact knowledge, systems, and protocols, which will be taught. These are also the 6 core competencies tested, so hunters will know core areas to focus on). Topics covered will be in depth, and participants will walk away with tools they can use to analyze how they hunt, and make immediate improvements to be much more effective and see results in the field. Topics covered are:
  • Foundational Systems every hunter needs in place, and exact steps to put them in place properly. Covered will be a Scent Control Regimen that allows deer to consistently be downwind of me and not react. Sound Management and 7 critical rules to implement from gear to how you approach your stand and hunt. Also included are myths, mindsets, and barriers that need to be changed to break through a ceiling that holds most hunters back.
  • Diversification of how to set up your hunting locations and have an integrated portfolio so you can hunt any day of the season, and throughout the entire season, and have first-sit quality hunts every time out (your best chance to have high-quality encounters on good bucks every hunt). We will go over how many spots you need, and criteria you need in place to deem them a high-quality option for each part of the season. With this knowledge you can eliminate throw away hunts, or hunts where you don’t feel confident in the chances of getting a good opportunity at a buck you want to shoot.
  • Data Collection and 7 ways to properly scout and collect vital data so you have high quality intel to eventually make great hunting decisions. We will look at how to integrate these 7 and my “Scouting Wheel” which shows when to use each type for best results, and cover the risk and reward cost of gaining each so you can collect only what is needed without allowing deer to know they are being hunted. This allows any hunter to eliminate one of the biggest areas of failure and reasons for it on mature bucks – tipping their hand to the whitetail. 
  • Data Analysis and how to organize, filter, and use scouting data effectively is crucial and many times a point of failure for hunters. A framework will be given to setup both buck profiles and hunting location profiles, which is vital for highly effective hunting decisions that end in shots at quality whitetail. I will give frameworks for both that allow data to be filtered into actionable and inactionable data, and organize what is crucial into concise and usable models anyone can apply where they hunt.
  • Hunt Decisions System takes scouting data and quantifies it so you won’t be guessing about when, where, and if you should hunt a certain spot or buck. No other system out there does this, and allows for eliminating “feelings” or guesswork, which leads to more longterm results and more confident hunting. A weighted ranking system will be introduced and we will look at all types of scouting data, examples, and participants will be able to use this with their own scenarios and make clear, high-odds hunting decisions. 
  • The Surgical Strike is the final step, and the culmination of all the systems in one precise hunt. Over 84% of my mature buck kills are taken on the first sit, and we will look at just how to put all this together in the “art of the first sit,” so you can do the same where you hunt and really up your rate of success in the real world.
