Summary:
On this episode of InCamp Whitetail Brief, I sit down with my good friend Steve Notebaert to talk early-season strategy on heavily pressured Pennsylvania ground. Steve shares how scrapes are his go-to setup, how he adjusts when acorns are scarce, and what he’s learned since tagging his first archery buck last season. We cover access and exit challenges, the value of in-season scouting, and how being decisive yet flexible can make or break a hunt. Plus, we relive a few stories from turkey season and the benefits of building a public land hunting network.
