Show Notes
This episode of Deep in the Hunt of Texas follows host Connor Little and returning guest Travis Miller as they swap stories and advice from the early deer season.
Travis recounts taking a buck on his first sit of the season, despite a less-than-ideal wind. He describes how he gained access to an 80-acre property through a landowner’s generosity, and how creek-bed terrain, familiar background noise from a gas compressor, and steady corn and mineral sites may have helped make the hunt work.
The conversation also covers practical challenges of hunting in Texas: finding quiet access routes, unpredictable deer movement, changing thermals, heavy rain that can leave roads impassable, and mosquitoes that can make a sit miserable. They compare notes on processing deer and doing European mounts, then discuss how weather, forage, and the rut may influence buck activity. Connor shares that his own season has been unusually quiet for bucks so far, while Travis is looking ahead to another mature buck and hopes his daughters might get a chance at it.
The episode works as a relaxed, relatable hunting conversation: Travis’s first-sit success gives it a clear story, while the practical details and shared frustrations make the advice feel grounded in real experience.
