On this episode of Michigan Wild, Nate and Brad Speet kick off The Last 7 Days wk2. Brad found himself wrapping his tag around his first public land archery buck. Brad is a part of the Half Ass Hunting podcast and previously joined Michigan Wild talking about salmon fishing earlier this fall. Not only does Brad get after the fish, he also is torn up with whitetail hunting. Recapping the last 7 days of October found both guys having some great hunts, even leading up into the "October Lull". Nate discusses a few of his hunts that have produced some great up and coming bucks, just not the target deer in bow range. Brad was actually able to shoot his buck October 15th and took advantage of being mobilbe, not relying on trail cams, and hunting the sign, not where he felt he had to be. 

The way Brad hunted this buck down was inspiring and a great story. From watching the deer get out of his bed and proceed to within bow range was the sum of all the hard work, dedication to learning, and not being afraid to try new tactics. The 2nd week of October is behind us and both guys are looking forward to the next week. Nate is still searching for a deer to target and Brad has a solid play on some deer he has history with. Everyday that ticks by leads to some of the best hunting opportunities for the fall.

In this episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman Mitch is joined by Troy Fowler, known as the Ranch Fairy. The two discuss a highly controversial topic: quartering towards shot angles with archery equipment. Can you really shoot through the shoulder of a deer with a bow?

Troy also compares the toughness of deer and pigs, highlights the significance of arrow setup and flight, and encourages critical thinking in bowhunting. He shares valuable lessons from his experiences and stresses the need for discipline and understanding of equipment in order to be successful in hunting.

Or, listen to the 12 factors of arrow flight from the Ashby Bowhunting foundation to learn what setups have the highest chance of passthrough if you so decide to take this shot angle. This episode revolves around making ethical choices in the world of bowhunting.

This week on the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast, John talks about his recent adventure of trying to find the elusive Oklahoma black bear. The trip started off promising, and John was able to find some bear sign way up a remote river. The trip took a turn however when John hit a submerged object on the way back to the boat ramp that rendered his propeller essentially worthless. After hunting on his private land spot in the morning and stealing a propeller of an old jon boat, he was back in action for the evening. John also talks a little bit about the upcoming cold snap and some new bucks that have shown up ahead of it. It is looking the things may work out great for the upcoming youth weekend!

On this episode of Michigan WIld Nate Rozeveld and Gideon Montgomery have a great conversation focused on chasing whitetails on public land. Gideon has a great story. He didn't grow up in a hunting family, so he cut his teeth learning how to hunt whitetails on public land in Michigan. He was fortunate enough to have a few mentors that pointed him in the right direction and he has continued to put in the time and effort to get better every fall. Gideon enjoys filling the freezer every year and admits that he has a hard time passing a good doe. 

Along with starting whitetail hunting he also found himself going out west his second season of hunting. There is a parallel to how Gideon hunts today that reflects the early years of western hunting and his desire to always go on an adventure. Public land has never intimidated him and he knows that effort and desire can lead to more success. Strolling into a piece of public he has never hunted and the adventure that waits is what he seeks each fall.

Both guys have had an eventual start to their seasons with releasing arrows, so they jump right into breaking down all the action. 

Nate's first week has been exciting with its ups and downs. He has seen a target buck along with passing some awesome up and comers. The weather patterns and food sources have led to Nate staying mobile and hunting more mornings than he typically does in early October. Robert along with Nate has been on deer and even bloodied 2 arrows on public land deer. His family does a camp every fall and as a camp they harvested 4 deer. Robert breaks down his kills and the enjoyment he finds experiencing a bow camp every year.

On this episode of The Wisconsin Sportsman, we hear part two of Pierce's conversation with Andrae D'Acquisto of Lone Wolf Custom Gear, to talk all about the "bump & dump" style of hunting, how to pull it off depending on time of day, what time of year it works best, how to plan your hunt, the different levels of bumping deer, picking a specific tree to pull this off successfully, using this tactic during the rut, and how this method of hunting can help you fill your tag! 

This week's episode is on the shorter side, but get your note pad out because it is heavy hitting! As we dive into October and folks start to murmur about "the lull", this episode will change your mindset when it comes to finding and killing deer in October. 

Huge thanks, again, to Andrae for taking time to come on the show and spread some knowledge. Follow along with Andrae & the awesome gear coming out this fall at lonewolfcustomgear.com or on social media @lonewolfcustomgear and @whitetail_addictions_official

Overall Tyler is enjoying the whole process of the fall and what it took for them to get here.

This episode provides an engaging and insightful conversation between Courtney Williamson, the host of the We Do This Too Outdoors podcast, and Tony Robichaux, the CEO and owner of  Yea You Outdoors. The discussion covers a wide range of topics related to the outdoor industry, including Tony's introduction to the outdoors, the cultural heritage and traditions of the Cajun and Creole communities in Louisiana, and the importance of passing on these traditions to the next generation.One of the key themes that emerges from the podcast is the need for greater representation and inclusion of people of color in the outdoor industry. Tony shares his perspective on the challenges faced by young people of color who may be interested in hunting, fishing, and other outdoor activities, but may feel discouraged by the lack of representation they see on television and in the media. He emphasizes the importance of being true to oneself, surrounding oneself with like-minded individuals, and not being afraid to reach out and ask for help or mentorship. The podcast also highlights the role that Tony and others in the outdoor community are playing in sharing their knowledge and experiences with the next generation, and the joy and fulfillment they find in doing so.

In this episode of the Range Podcast, host Ricky Brule welcomes fellow outdoorsman Brian Krebs of the Western Rookie and the Two Bucks Podcast. Brian shares his journey into archery and bow hunting.

The conversation also touches on the emotional aspects of hunting, the significance of preparation, and the desire to improve one's skills in the field.

This week on the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast, John is changing things up a little bit for the opening weekend of the 2024 hunting season in Oklahoma. Due to not having the quality of bucks he has grown accustomed to chasing on his home place this year, he is hitting the road (or water) and trying something a little different. John plans to take his boat into a more remote portion of Oklahoma and chase public land bucks and bears. Thanks to some updated regulation changes this year, a bear tag is now included in the lifetime license package, meaning John and other lifetime license holders are able to hunt bears without buying additional tags. John plans to use his boat to access hard to reach public land places in hopes of tagging either a whitetail buck or black bear in south eastern Oklahoma with his bow.

In this week's episode I have Sam Brown on to share the story of the buck he recently killed in North Carolina. This story is absolutely CRAZY. As I'm sure many of you are aware, in bow hunting sometimes everything goes perfect, and sometimes it doesn't. Some hunter's who place a less than ideal shot on a deer will attempt to track the animal, and once they fail to recover the animal, the story ends there. That is not the case with this story. Sam's story is an example of perseverance and dedication to completing a harvest ethically, after making the mistake of a non-lethal shot on a deer. You definitely don't want to miss this one. As always, thanks for listening!
