On this episode of the East Meets West Hunt podcast, Beau Martonik is joined by Josh Ilderton of The Untamed after spring scouting in the steep mountains and coal country of the bowhunting-only counties in southern West Virginia. Josh is an incredible spot and stalk ground hunter who consistently gets it done in the mountains. We talk about hunting the terrain, scouting, Josh\u2019s epic 2022 deer season, and go down some other rabbit holes about what we look for in hunting experiences.\n\nTopics:\n00:17 - INTRO\n05:10 - West Virginia Rut Trip and Future Redemption\n07:38 - Whitetail Hunting Vs Mule Deer\n08:57 - Beau and Josh Hunting Together\n11:21 - Hunting elevation\n15:34 - Hunting thermals\xa0\n19:39 - Terrain-based setups\xa0\n29:36 - "Layin' In There"\n34:05 - New Areas and Trail Cams\n38:34 - Josh's 2022 Season and Mountain Foods Plots\n41:52 - Buck story - It's difficult to kill mature deer in WV\n53:26 - Target deer living right under your nose\n01:00:45 - Killing and cooking deer - Do they get you fired up?\n01:04:00 - Scales of shooting deer\n01:08:05 - Kids hunting and building expectations\n01:16:56 - Missing good ones and growing from it\n01:24:17 - Bed bug, subpar conditions, and getting on a buck\n01:28:10 - Having to self film\n01:36:30 - The buck down phone call\n01:40:48 - Sharing success with others\n01:44:14 - Closing\n\nNote** timestamps might be off by a few minutes on the audio version due to ad length changes\n\nResources:\nGoWild:\nBeau Martonik (East Meets West Hunt)\n\nInstagram:\xa0\xa0\n@eastmeetswesthunt\n@beau.martonik\n@theuntamed\n@joshilderton\n\nFacebook:\xa0\xa0\nEast Meets West Outdoors\n\xa0\nWebsite/Apparel/Deals:\nhttps://www.eastmeetswesthunt.com/\n\nYouTube:\nBeau Martonik -\xa0https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQJon93sYfu9HUMKpCMps3w\nThe Untamed - https://www.youtube.com/@TheUntamedHunt\n\nPartner Discounts and Affiliate Links:\nhttps://www.eastmeetswesthunt.com/partners\n\nAmazon Influencer Page\nhttps://www.amazon.com/shop/beau.martonik\nLearn more about your ad choices.
