When a cold front hits the family farm, GrowingDeer.tv team member Alec McAlpine knew exactly where he needed to be! Watch this episode to see him tag a giant Indiana buck when he walks into the corn (time marker 5:09 to 7:40). After the hunt, Grant  shares tips on how you can use snow as a tool to pattern the bucks and does where you hunt.These tips will get you excited to get out and scout the next time you're hunting where there is snow on the ground.
