In this episode of InCamp, I sit down with Jared Larsen from OnX to break down practical whitetail hunting strategies that actually translate from the map to the woods. We dig into how OnX hunting tools help speed up scouting, identify killable terrain, and understand deer movement, especially during the late season.
Jared shares how he uses topography, terrain analysis, and LIDAR to uncover overlooked features that most hunters walk right past. We talk about why postseason scouting is one of the most valuable times of year, how winter sign tells the real story, and how adapting your approach based on conditions is often the difference between hoping and consistently getting opportunities.
If you’re serious about improving your whitetail hunting, learning how to scout smarter, and using hunting technology like OnX with purpose, this episode is packed with takeaways you can apply immediately.
