For Game and Fish Magazine editor John Taranto, there really is no off-season when it comes to chasing big whitetails. In the big buck rich Midwest, that can mean plenty of sweat equity spent moving deer stands, clearing shooting lanes, hanging trail cams, improving deer habitat and more. As the heat of the day builds, Taranto is definitely making sure he's got a good pair of work gloves and brush pants, stays hydrated with plenty of water, and has plenty of protein to fuel an energetic and focused day getting ready for fall hunting season. That means putting the convenience of Old Trapper Beef Jerky into his pack, anything from the tried and true Old Fashioned blend to Teriyaki, Peppered and even Hot & Spicy flavors for a sizzling day in the Sunflower State woods.
