Tactics for Tagging Bucks in Tough Conditions

Gun Talk Hunt host KJ is joined by Gun Talk’s Gary Killingsworth (Oregon) and Hodgdon Powders’ Aaron Oger (Missouri) for a candid conversation about how unseasonably warm weather is impacting deer hunting strategies across the country. From drastic temperature swings to nocturnal bucks and delayed rut behavior, this episode dives deep into the challenges hunters are facing this season — and how to adapt.

Aaron and Gary also discuss gear picks like the Sig CROSS rifle, Savage 110 Carbon Predator, Stable Match powders, Badlands Gear, and layering hacks that make or break an all-day sit.

This Gun Talk Hunt is brought to you by Savage Arms, Hodgdon Powders, Range Ready Studios, Ruger, Remington Ammo, and ZEISS.
