Podcast Episodes

This week's episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman is bound to ruffle someone's feathers.  Take it with a grain of salt; it's two average Joe's having a conversation about their opinions of hunting in PA.  Our guest is John Kolb from Suffering Outdoors, and he and Mitch discuss five items that they believe if changed would improve the hunting opportunity in Pennsylvania.  Both John and Mitch are avid bowhunters, so the majority of this discussion revolves around improvements for our own self-interest.

Before we start, let's make it known that we both believe the Pennsylvania state agency does an excellent job of collecting data and making well informed decisions for our hunting seasons.  This is not an episode of critique, rather expanding on what's already worked well in the Keystone state, with a dash of selfish-interest.  We start the episode by listing a few things the state has already implemented that have made hunting regulations easier or created better hunting opportunities.  From here we break down our five points of interest, leading up to our grand finale. Let's just say, the final point argues the use of a trigger during archery season...  What do you think would make hunting PA better?

In this episode of the Antler Up Podcast, Jeremy sits down with Brandon Barlow to dive deep into the nuances of whitetail hunting, with a particular focus on preparation and setting realistic expectations. Brandon, an experienced hunter from the South, shares his unique strategies for navigating the early season and unpredictable rut. He emphasizes the importance of honing in on daytime deer and leveraging historical data to determine the best times and locations to hunt. The discussion also touches on the significance of understanding fawning data, which can play a crucial role in identifying optimal hunting periods. Brandon's insights offer a fresh perspective on how to adapt hunting tactics based on regional variations and whitetail behavior.

Brandon's approach to whitetail hunting is both practical and unconventional. He advocates for setting up cameras in primary bedding areas to track daytime deer activity and suggests using affordable SD cameras instead of relying on cell cameras. By focusing on historical patterns and keeping options open, hunters can enhance their chances of encountering mature bucks. Brandon stresses the importance of not putting all your eggs in one basket by targeting just one or two bucks, but rather having multiple options to increase overall hunting efficiency. This episode is packed with valuable takeaways that can help hunters stay ahead of the game and make the most of their time in the field.

So, grab your gear, sit back, and join us on this episode as we Antler Up with Brandon Barlow on today's episode of the Antler Up Podcast.

 Stay tuned, stay safe, and Antler Up!

This week we are continuing our mini series telling the stories that happened to our guests after they were on the podcast. I am joined by Damien Nissley as he shares a story about his spring turkey that involved trying to stalk up on a turkey, and eventually having to call the turkey away from his own decoy! I also share a few stories of mine from the past about a variety of hunts. For instance there was the time I tried to out call a couple of hens to get a strutting gobbler to my decoy, only to later learn that my decoy was probably facing the wrong way. Or the time I was unprepared for a Tom to come in so fast and I didn't have my gun up so I ended up missing the bird three times instead. I also talk about the time I woke up from a nap to find three toms about 100 yards away and how I tried to sneak up on them. On top of all that I recap one of my Canadian fishing trips from this year where, one at a time, every motor on the boat stopped working and we had to paddle to shore. With turkey season far in the rearview mirror I find that the best thing to do is to reminisce on past hunts and plan for the future. So I hope that wherever you are or whatever you're up to you can take a trip down memory lane along with me and Damien this week!

In today's episode, Jacob shares his thoughts on the finale of this year's Total Archery Challenge (TAC), as it wrapped up the tour in Southern Indiana. TAC offers a variety long range 3D shots that challenge archers in shot placement and angles. TAC has typically toured the western states, but over the past 2 years has expanded their tour east. While Jacob didn't participate in the courses, he did engage vendors at the Bowtech Mountain Festival that is part of the TAC experience, he also examine some exciting products, and he shares thoughts on participating in the shoot in future TAC events. Additionally, Jacob provides some updates and insights on his hunting "chores" as the season is closing in quickly.

In this episode, Brian Krebs and Silas Morris discuss the topic of rifle calibers and bullets for hunting in different environments. They explore the idea of using the same rifle for both whitetail hunting in Wisconsin and elk hunting in the West. They emphasize the importance of shot placement and understanding the capabilities of your rifle. They also discuss the effectiveness of different bullet types and the need for two different bullets for different types of hunting. In this conversation, Silas and Brian discuss the importance of bullet speed and size in hunting different animals.

They explore the relationship between bullet velocity and animal size, and how faster bullets can lead to quicker kills. They also touch on the idea of using a single bullet for all hunting purposes and the benefits of sticking with one rifle and one load. The conversation also covers the significance of shot placement and the need for hunters to strive for ethical and humane kills. They conclude by discussing the importance of optics in hunting and the challenges of finding a scope that works well for both short-range and long-range hunting.

Takeaways:

• Choosing the right rifle caliber and bullet for hunting depends on the specific hunting environment and target species.
• Shot placement is crucial for a clean and ethical kill, regardless of the caliber or bullet used.
• Understanding the capabilities and limitations of your rifle is important for making effective shots.
• Using the same rifle for both whitetail and elk hunting is possible, but it may require adjusting bullet selection for different hunting scenarios.
• Consider factors such as bullet weight, energy, and bullet construction when selecting ammunition for different hunting situations.
• Faster bullets can lead to quicker kills, especially for smaller animals like antelope.
• Bullet size and speed can influence the outcome of a hunt, but the size and toughness of the animal also play a role.
• Using a single bullet for all hunting purposes can simplify the process and eliminate the need for constant adjustments and re-sighting.
• Shot placement is crucial for ethical and humane kills, and hunters should strive to end the animal's suffering as quickly as possible.
• Choosing the right optics for hunting requires considering the specific hunting scenarios and balancing the need for short-range and long-range capabilities.

On this episode of The Wisconsin Sportsman, Pierce sits down with the Wisconsin Deer Program Specialist, Jeff Pritzl to discuss all major deer hunting updates, how dynamic of a state Wisconsin is to manage deer in, how the Department of Natural Resources really operates, how public input is crucial to getting things done, why not everyone's hunting situation may be a reflection of DNR data, and how you as an individual can become an amateur biologist to accurately assess the health of your deer herd, hunting situation, and hunting expectations.

After a career in the field of biology, Jeff Pritzl now sits at the Deer Program Specialist for the Wisconsin DNR. Jeff's job is anything but easy as he looks at the wide range of struggles and experiences that deer and deer hunters deal with across a state with an extremely diverse landscape. In the Southern Farmland Region where deer can exceed 70 per square mile, to the Northern Forest Region where populations are a fraction of what they once were, there is no 'one size fits all' approach to addressing the issue of deer management in our great state.

Jeff also dives into the nuances of not only helping the DNR to manage deer populations across the state, but also the people hunting them and the challenges that come with that. People may look at data that claims there to be so many or so few deer in an area, but on a 40 acre piece, it certainly may not seem that way during the 9-day season depending on a wide range of variables. If that sounds like you, it's up to you to let the DNR know, attend you CDAC meetings, and take advantage of public input opportunities.

The guys also discuss how you can go about assessing your own deer herd and hunting situation, and how you can not only understand the sphere of influence you may have on your herd, but how you can assess the trends you're seeing over time in your area.

This is a great conversation that covers a wide range of topics, all of which should leave you thinking about how you hunt this fall. Enjoy!

In this episode of the We Do This Too Outdoors podcast, we sit down with Brandon "Eazy" Thompson, a barber from Florida who is also an avid outdoorsman. Eazy discusses how he got into hunting and the outdoors about 10 years ago, around the same time he became a barber. He explains that becoming a barber allowed him the flexibility to pursue his passion for hunting, fishing, and other outdoor activities. Eazy shares some of his memorable experiences, like his first time hunting with his bird dog Odie and harvesting his first deer with a bow. As a Black man in the outdoors, Eazy has faced some challenges and discrimination, but he emphasizes the importance of having patience, determination, and a mentor to help get started. He advises young, inner-city kids interested in the outdoors to find a mentor who can show them the ropes and introduce them to the community. Overall, Eazy's story highlights his love for the outdoors and his mission to encourage more diversity in hunting, fishing, and other outdoor pursuits.

On this episode of Michigan Wild, Nate Rozeveld and Hunter Sparks discuss various topics related to hunting and outdoor activities in Northern Michigan. They talk about their excitement for the upcoming hunting season, the difference between hunting the bigwoods and agriculture, and the benefits of learning from podcasts, YouTube videos, and social media. They also touch on the Michigan youth hunt, trapping, trout fishing, and the Michigan elk herd. Hunter shares his experience with the elk herd and how he fulfilled his goal of finding his first elk shed this past spring, which took a lot of effort and consistency.  

Being in Northern Michigan, Hunter deals with a low deer density and he has found success targeting bucks where they seek refuge in the fall. He likes finding rublines that lead him to these secluded areas that prove a buck has been and likes to be there. Hunter then proceeds to set up an ambush with a ground blind, a tactic that is successful because there is a lack of suitable trees to hunt out of. This strategy has helped Hunter shoot some awesome bucks the past few years and is something Nate is looking forward to implementing this fall as well.

Today I am breaking down some of the best tips given on the podcast this past spring but with a twist. I'm going to be applying them to deer hunting as well as turkey hunting. Now I know they are different beasts for sure, but that doesn't mean that they don't overlap. I start off talking about some of the things I love about turkey hunting that you don't get away with as easily with deer hunting, such as, scent controll is not a problem, getting to move around a lot is great, and calling and listening for calling really adds an interactive aspect that you don't always deer when hunting deer. Of course there are so many things deer hunting has taught me that help me as a turkey hunter such as, reading an animals body language, looking for sign and how to be patient. So in this episode I break down a ton of important things I've learned this turkey season that I'm going to be using this turkey season. I'm going to be using more realism in my calling. I'm also going to be positioning myself differently for my calling sequences. I'm going to be working on my mindset, putting the time in that I need to to be successful and not only that but keeping my mind sharp as well. I'll be working on patience, mastering target panic and being generous with my hunting season. I absolutely plan to check out some public land and I'm going to be going after new permissions as well. It seems there is no shortage of Turkey tactics for deer hunting and if we continue to lock in these ideas throughout all hunting disciplines were well on our way to being a better hunter!

In the latest episode of the Antler Up Podcast, host Jeremy Dinsmore sits down with good friend and down right great hunter Tom Runscavage to discuss the art of balancing a passion for hunting with the demands of work, family, and other responsibilities. Jeremy and Tom dive deep into the challenges that many hunters face when trying to find time for their favorite activity amidst home improvement projects, career obligations, and family commitments. They emphasize the importance of setting realistic expectations, being flexible with hunting plans, and the value of prioritizing family and other crucial aspects of life. Both individuals have the challenge of this balance because they each had a child at the beginning of the year.  Tom having his first and Jeremy his second child.

Tom shares his wisdom on making the most out of finite time, highlighting that the joy of hunting extends beyond just harvesting a deer. The conversation explores how having the right gear, without overcomplicating things, can enhance the overall experience. Both Jeremy and Tom agree that the true essence of hunting lies in creating lasting memories and having fun with friends. Tune in to gain valuable takeaways on maintaining a healthy balance between hunting and life's many demands, ensuring that you enjoy every moment spent in the great outdoors.

So, grab your gear, sit back, and join us on this episode as we Antler Up with Tom Runscavage on today's episode of the Antler Up Podcast.

 Stay tuned, stay safe, and Antler Up!

Mobile hunting gear for the public land whitetail hunter continues to evolve as more and more small manufacturers of saddles, platforms, and accessories continue to enter the market. One sticking has become more and more popular with saddle hunters, in addition to using a set of sticks combined with a hang on platform. But, what about a climber platform designed specifically for saddle hunters? On today's episode, Jacob examines four brands of climber saddle platforms that are currently on the market. This includes the Quick Climb from Panther Platforms, the Mark II from Broadside Stands, the Lead Ascent Alpha from Osprey Outdoors, and the Highlander from Barren Ridge Treestands.

With UKC’s giant Autumn Oaks coonhound extravaganza happening this month, Steve calls longtime friend Lee Currens of Piedmont, South Carolina to discuss their plans for the big event.

The conversation moves to the topic of the Autumn Oaks shows. Currens is an octogenarian that was a hard hunter but remains very active by showing his Treeing Walkers in major competition.

We talk about the judges UKC has selected for “The Event Where History Is Made” and talk about Lee’s experiences having judged the event three times.

The “Dog Talk At Its Finest” mantra is well-supported in this episode as two veterans discuss many facets of the coonhound sport by way of their many years of experience, Steve as the manager and Lee as a major competitor. This one provides an enjoyable look at one of the nation’s most important coonhound events.

On this week's episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman, Mitch introduces Shaun Trump from Northern Duck Calls to the show.  Shaun is as passionate about duck hunting as Mitch is about deer.  So much so, that he's turned a hobby of building ducks calls into a business.  After our introduction, Shaun discusses how he first got into building calls and the complexities of using a lathe and combining it with reeds and cutouts.  He also discusses his experiences of hunting ducks in Arkansas, and how the culture of waterfowl hunting is much different when compared to the northeast.  You are able to sense a "homesick" feeling from Shaun when he talks about Arkansas, but he quickly changes the subject to building a network and culture here in the northeast around duck hunting.  If you're looking to upgrade some duck calls for this season, shop local and check out Northern Duck Calls!

This week on the Missouri Woods & Water Podcast we have an awesome Tales of the Chase episode to get you pumped up for the season that's just around the corner.  Nate & Micah get to talk with Ryan Servello who took down not one, but two Missouri monsters last season with his bow.  It is a great story and discussion about Ryan's background in hunting and how he was able to take down both of these deer last season.  A little fair warning, the audio isn't amazing, but it works.  Thanks for listening!

Thomas Mlsna, founder of Untamed Ambition, joins the podcast to discuss the importance of trail cameras in hunting preparation. He emphasizes the need to be intentional with camera setups and to use them to collect information and build theories about deer behavior. He also highlights the significance of wind, pressure, food, and timing in understanding deer movement.

Thomas and Jon Teater (Whitetail Landscapes) discuss the value of pressure as a tool and the importance of social interaction among deer. They also touch on the concept of creating high-value environments to attract and hold deer on a property. The conversation focuses on the importance of cover and consistency in reducing pressure on deer. The speakers discuss how deer stack up in areas with consistent human activity and how cover provides a sense of security. They also touch on the significance of topography as a form of cover. The conversation then shifts to the role of food plots and the importance of variation in food type and composition. They emphasize the need to understand how deer relate to different types of food and cover. The speakers also discuss the importance of observation and flexibility in hunting success, as well as the role of wind in deer movement. They highlight the value of training the brain to notice important details in the environment and the benefits of scouting during the hunting season. The conversation concludes with the importance of visualization, theory-building, and continuous learning in hunting.

Takeaways:

• Trail cameras only tell you where you should have been, not where you should be.
• Trail cameras only tell you what is happening directly in front of them.
• Pressure is anything that causes stress or discomfort on a deer to a level that it's going to change their behavior.
• There are really only two things that reduce pressure on deer. It is cover and consistency in pressure or lack thereof.
• Topography is the greatest form of cover there is.
• Variation in food value, a variation in food type composition is really important.

In this week’s episode of The Range Podcast, Ricky and Hollywood talk with Nate Axtman, a sales rep for Proactive Midwest, a sales rep group focused on popular brands in the shooting sports world.

Nate starts with his introduction to hunting as a young man with upland game alongside his family. He started shooting an old recurve bow that his dad owned, which led him to a job at the local Scheel’s sporting goods store in Grand Forks, ND.

Nate is also known as “Snack Boy”. Hollywood begs the question, and Nate reveals the secret to winning the hearts of all the folks around him.

Ricky talks about an upcoming Mule Deer hunt that he and Nate will be partnered up for this upcoming fall. This hunt has been in the making for many years, and the guys briefly discuss the plan and the excitement quickly setting in as the day nears.

Nate then tells a story of struggle, focus, and perseverance that accompanies a recent Pronghorn Antelope Bowhunt. Camping out in a ground blind for 3 days in 90-degree heat, may have led to a bonfire fueled by the sleeping bag and clothing involved.

This week on the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast, John recounts his guided fishing trip down in Florida. Redfish were the number one target for the trip, and one of the highest fish on John's bucket list. His Brother in law Logan tagged along and teamed up with Captain Torin of One More Charters. Right off the bat the guys faced challenges with high summer temps and low tide waters. After some time trying to catch bait, they finally went after the big fish and it turned into a pretty epic morning of fishing.

After the fish tale, John talks about his recent trip up to the McAlester Army Ammunition plant to try and learn a little bit about the area before his hunt in November. The base was open for a traditional bow only 3D course that pushed several archers to their limits. John met some great people, learned some valuable information about the hunt itself, and got a feel for the area. The main thing he learned wa

In this episode, Corey recounts how after a tough loss in his MMA career, he found himself drawn back to the woods, where he was able to completely forget about the fight and his troubles. Being in nature, surrounded by the sounds of the animals and the serenity of the outdoors, allowed him to reset and regain his focus. Both men emphasize how the outdoors provides a therapeutic escape, a place where they can find the peace and clarity they need, away from the stresses and distractions of everyday life. The outdoors becomes a sanctuary, a space where they can reconnect with themselves and find the solace they seek.

On this episode of the Michigan Wild, Nate and Drew Hassler are  LOCKED IN for the upcoming deer season! Drew has been going hard planting plots and executing a multi year plan on his property. Creating better access and establishing a hidden plot has been on the top of his list. A few unique strategies have aided in this new plot, including summer burning and creating a creek crossing. Nate finds himself in a different position with his plots this year as the property's crop rotation has been a limiting factor in 2024. However Drew and Nate discuss doing some micro plots within corn fields and standing bean fields. All with the intentions of capitalizing on shooting a buck in October.

Gear is the next topic of conversation for the guys, and they both are excited for the new things they plan on using this fall including broadheads, arrows, saddles, platforms, and backpacks  Each summer Nate and Drew both like to fine tune their setups to help aid in becoming more proficient in mobile hunting on their instate and out of state hunts. Talking about gear got the guys fired up for the fall as October 1st is fast approaching along with their November Kansas hunt. Nate dives into the logistics of the Kansas hunt as he intends to make more than 1 trip, to help scout and get an idea of the terrain. Something he hopes helps him and the group get on deer quicker than past years.

Overall the guys have been preparing all summer for this fall and are locked in and ready to go, plans are being executed and the final steps are taking place. In the next few months Nate and Drew will be ready to capitalize on the salmon run and rutting bucks.

On this episode I am joined again by Paul Campbell and he shares the story of a beautiful Merriam's turkey hunt he went on this season. This is the first instalment of a sort of mini series I am doing where I get a chance to catch up with all the turkey hunting masters I have gotten to talk with this season and I get to hear the stories I missed out on because they happened after I interviewed them. This story has it all. Friendship, unexpected hunts, brand new calls calling in fired up Tom's, and a whole lot more. You'll hear how Paul had a chance at a Merriam's turkey only to send a shot over his head and watch the turkey fly down a cliff. You'll hear how Paul was able to overcome the urge to follow the turkey right off the cliff and capitalize on a later encounter. In the pre show I talk briefly about my recent trip to Canada and how I got a chance to walleye fish on lake Erie. One thing is for sure. There is nothing like the story of a great turkey hunt to help me through the doldrums of the off season and to help me through until the spring time revives the woods once again. Until then we have these awesome memories of spring thunder, friends and experiences. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed recording it!

On this week's episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman, we dive deep into the Radix Hunting Monarch blind line up.  Our guest is none other than Clifford Martin, owner and operator of Radix hunting gear.  One thing to note about Radix is the attention to quality in their products.  That's because Clifford is a diehard successful deer and turkey hunter, and strives to provide the best possible equipment in the field for himself and also consumers.  If it doesn't pass his extensive testing, it gets modified before you can ever get your hands on it!

We begin by breaking down the Monarch G1 ground blind, and work our way up the ladder towards hard shell blinds.  Along the way we discuss the differences in these blinds when compared to competitors you might find out on the market.  With each series of blind, we discuss the structural integrity behind each product, and how each has been modified over time for improvements.  Two main factors come into play with Monarch blinds: structural integrity to hold up to mother nature, and silent use when in close proximity to game.  We also break down each blind and how Clifford view's their purpose in his world of deer and turkey hunting.  Make sure to check them all out at Radixhunting.com!

Is your firearm dialed for the upcoming fall seasons? Have you tweaked your rifle setup? Changed ammo in your slug gun? Put a new scope on your muzzleloader? Now is the time to load up on ammo for your respective guns and get to the gun range and zero in your setup. On today's episode, Jacob share his thoughts on what you can do to get your firearms ready for the fall, and some aspects of ballistics (internal, external terminal), scope turret adjustments (elevation and windage), and MOA (minute of angle), to help you be efficient with your time when at the range.

Most hunters believe the first line of responsibility in providing good dogs to hunt rests with the breeder.  Others may point to the dog’s owner, commonly called the trainer, as the one chiefly responsible for the dog’s success or failure.  And that’s just talking about performance.  How about breed type in the show ring?  Who decides what’s correct or faulty? 

The boys engage in the usual “dog talk at its finest” in the opening minutes of the episode before cracking the lid on a can of mayhem and confusion centered on the age old “just who gives you the right” challenge.  Triggered somewhat by comments on recent social media, Corey opens a discussion about who gets to decide what quality is in a given breed of hounds?  And, beyond that, who has the authority to call the shots when it comes to breeding quality dogs?   Does simply owning a great dog make the owner the be-all, end-all authority on the breed?   Opinions in this episode are flying like starlings in the wind, the opinions no more authoritative than the flapping of wings yet no less passionate.  

This is a lively discussion that’s bound to stir a reaction or two within every houndsman, color and conformation preferences aside.

We’re taking about cheating. When Steve was with the registries he dealt with it on a fairly frequent basis.  Determined to keep coon hunting in a positive light, he rarely wrote publicly about the subject, choosing to let the system deal with perpetrators behind the scenes.  Now, unburdened by what was before, he and Corey spotlight the pencil crooks, the blind voters, the dog pitchers and catchers, and the movers and switchers in a sport that was built, and owes its very survival to the premise that honor belongs to whom honor is due.

You’ll enjoy this eye-opening look at the sport behind the scenes and, believe it or not, may come away feeling better about it in the process.  There’s no substitute, no better remedy, for correcting the ills of dishonesty in competition than a good working knowledge of the rules of the game by all participants. The problems and solutions of keeping a level field are all here in this episode.  We not only see the elephant in this episode, we skin it out and tack its hide to the wall.

In this episode of the Nine Finger Chronicles podcast, host Dan Johnson interviews Jon Teater from Whitetail Landscapes about habitat management for hunting properties. They discuss the importance of understanding the complex environment that deer live in and how it affects their behavior. Teater explains that the most common goal for clients is to shoot bigger quality deer, but this goal can be abstract and requires a deep understanding of the deer composition and the specific makeup of a high-quality deer. They also discuss the role of risk and pressure in deer behavior and how to create a habitat that reduces risk and holds deer on the property. Teater emphasizes the importance of good habitat and cover, as well as the balance between food availability and cover value. He also explains how to assess the carrying capacity of a property by measuring the amount of biomass consumed by deer.  Jon and Dan discuss the importance of habitat improvement and deer management. They cover topics such as diverse diets for deer, equating the number of deer to be removed from a property, and the impact of deer behavior on habitat management. They also discuss the role of aesthetics in deer management and the need for a holistic approach to habitat improvement.

On this episode of The Nomadic Outdoorsman, Dan is joined by Tom LaLond to hear all about Tom’s success using a river to access a bluff country buck in his home state.

Tom and Dan connected at the XOP booth at Bowfest in 2023 and have been hunting buddies ever since. Although Dan wasn’t able to bring home a buck on their river hunt, Tom decided to go on a hunt of his own and connected on a great Wisconsin whitetail. Dan and Tom discuss their upcoming hunts and how they are going to continue to use water access in the future.

Thomas Hoke, owner and host of Hoke Outdoors, joins Brian Halbleib on the show. Thomas was introduced to the outdoors by his father while growing up in Virginia. We discuss his transformation from deer and turkey hunter to becoming obsessed with waterfowl. We talk about the diversity of waterfowl hunting across Virginia, the challenges of hunting the Atlantic Flyway and some tactics for scouting and hunting the region. We get into what prompted him to leave Virginia and start hunting out of state, ending up as far away as Alaska. We also discuss some hunt filming, hunting equipment, dog training and a few hunting stories.

In this episode, Dan Johnson and Jeremy Dinsmore discuss the challenges of balancing hunting with family and work responsibilities. They share personal stories and insights about being busy parents and how it affects their hunting pursuits. They also talk about the importance of setting up trail cameras and mock scrapes to gather information about deer movement and behavior. The conversation highlights the anticipation and excitement of the upcoming hunting season. In this conversation, Jeremy and Dan discuss their experiences with trail cameras and the challenges of predicting deer behavior. They talk about the difficulty of hunting older age whitetail bucks and the importance of understanding their patterns. They also discuss the impact of changing food sources and betting areas on deer movement. The conversation touches on the trend of being too mobile while hunting and the importance of patience and staying in one spot. They also talk about the correlation between rain and deer antler growth. Finally, they discuss the challenges of running a hunting podcast and the importance of content quality over social media following.

Takeaways:

• Balancing hunting with family and work responsibilities can be challenging, but it's important to prioritize and make time for both.
• Setting up trail cameras and mock scrapes can provide valuable information about deer movement and behavior.
• The period between August and October is a crucial time for scouting and preparing for the upcoming hunting season.
• Deer rely on scent communication, so creating scent stations like mock scrapes can attract and hold their attention.
• The anticipation and excitement of the hunting season can make all the hard work and sacrifices worthwhile. Predicting the behavior of older age whitetail bucks is as difficult as knowing what you will do in the next minute.
• Changing food sources and betting areas can greatly impact deer movement.
• Being too mobile while hunting can be detrimental, and it's important to have patience and stay in one spot.
• There is a correlation between consistent rain throughout the summer and larger deer antlers.
• Content quality is more important than social media following in the hunting podcast industry.
