Patrick Montgomery Show Notes: Patrick Montgomery and I sat down to swap big game stories. Patrick’s an experienced big game hunter, and he started us off with a story from his early days living in Colorado. He talks about a once-in-a-lifetime buck he spotted. Patrick thought he had a good chance at the buck, but things don’t always turn out how you want. That’s hunting. “Do not put any pressure on the deer. They don’t need to know you’re there.” We also talked about watching deer. Patrick shared some great tips on spotting and glassing. Some people can get a little careless, so it was great to hear some detail-focused tips on scouting. Patrick knows his stuff, and he gave us plenty of great advice on spotting bucks without scaring them off. Patrick tells another story about a buck he scouted over a three-year period. When it came time to hunt, Patrick spotted the buck for three days straight. From there, we talked about the importance of patience when scouting. We agree – “Patience pays off more often than it doesn’t.” Before we finished up, Patrick and I shared some stories about spotting bucks and getting in our own heads. Hunting is a mental game as much as anything, so it’s easy to get carried away out there.
