Hunting Deer in Clear Cuts | The Gear That Makes a Difference

Hunting deer in clear cuts is one of the few situations in the East where you can plan for longer-range shots. Most Eastern whitetail hunting is in thick timber or swamp, but when you find a clear cut, the game changes—and so does your gear.

In this video, I walk through the exact setup I use for clear cut hunting, including the tripod, ball head, rifle configuration, and training routine. This gear was built for Eastern hunts—but I’ve also taken it out West, and it held up perfectly. If you’re an Eastern hunter who dreams of heading West someday, this kind of setup is a great bridge between the two styles.

🔥 What’s Covered in This Video:
✔️ Why clear cuts offer rare long-range opportunities in the East
✔️ My go-to lightweight tripod and ball head combo
✔️ Rifle setup tuned for precision in open ground
✔️ How an Arca rail mount improves your field shooting
✔️ The importance of training with your entire setup
✔️ Why this same gear transitions perfectly to a Western hunt

Whether you're staying in your home state or heading out West, this setup keeps your options wide open without weighing you down.
