Podcast Episodes

Everyone was a beginner at some point in their bowhunting career.  Some of us had an advantage with experienced mentors, others learned from the school of hard knocks.  This week's episode we are joined by listener Tyler Murray.  Tyler grew up hunting with his family, but took on the journey of bowhunting whitetails by himself at 16 years old.  He navigated television and the internet like many of us do trying to learn and consume deer hunting knowledge and entertainment.  Each year has led to Tyler being more and more successful.

We navigate Tyler's rollercoaster bowhunting journey, from starting out bowhunting his rifle stands, to being relentless scouting and mobile hunting.  This season Tyler connected on a dandy buck in archery season with minimal hunting time available.  We discuss how Tyler chose his set-ups wisely to allow for quality sits on limited time.  Tyler shares the emotions experienced after all the pieces fell into place for this great buck.  It's an episode which both novice and experienced bowhunters can appreciate!  Tyler has worked hard to accomplish his goals - many of us can relate!

On this episode of the Nine Finger Chronicles, Dan talks with Shawn Jordan of the Adaptive Outdoorsman about a disability he has had to deal with his entire life. Shawn was born with club feet and a heart murmur. Doctors said he would never walk. But, with two older brothers his therapy was trying to keep up with them. Somewhere around 30 years of age, Jon was introduced to hunting through his father-in-law. Now, Shawn uses his disability to assist and inspire others that may be struggling to get in the woods because a new or lifelong disability. We absolutely love this story and want to send a huge shoutout to Shawn for sharing his hunting journey.

In this episode, we take a break from thinking about deer as Pierce sits down with Erik Woll of Woll E. Bugger Fly Fishing Guide Service. Erik is a lifelong fly fisherman from central Illinois who found home in the Milwaukee area of Wisconsin, where he quickly discovered the giant brown trout that come into the Lake Michigan tributary rivers and streams every fall. In 2019 he founded Woll E. Bugger Fly Fishing Guide Service to guide others onto the world class fishing that can be found in the Southeast corner of the state. 

Pierce & Erik cover everything you need to know to target these fish from what gear you need, what the fish are doing, where to find them, and how to get them to eat. They also debate the ethics of targeting spawning fish and various schools of thought surrounding the issue. If you'd like to get in touch with Erik and book your trip, you can get in touch with him on Facebook or Instagram by searching Woll. E. Bugger Fly Fishing Guide Service

In this episode, Jon Teater (Whitetail Landscapes) and Josh Streichert (JWS Logging) discuss the marathon of hunting and how persistence can pay off. Josh explains his hunting season and his family priorities during the season. Josh details his first early season deer hunt and harvest with his kids. Josh explains how at times he throws caution to the wind and just goes after deer, particularly when his kids are interested in hunting.

Josh discusses his kids recent hunting experience and interest in being a part of the outdoors. Josh explains how he is enjoying his property and sometimes being on your property means more than the focus on being successful at chasing mature deer. Josh discusses his first black bear harvest and how that added to his dream hunting season.

Josh explains how persistence pays off and learning more about hunting pressured deer. Josh explains his history with a mature buck and pressure on his land, and trying not to be overly concerned with the early season pressure. Josh and Jon talk about getting youth involved and other ways to look at deer from a harvest decision. Josh explains the history and life of the mature deer he killed, and the specific steps he took to harvest the deer. Josh discusses hunting the Adirondacks and surviving all day sits. Josh breaks down what it took to intercept and harvest a mature buck in December. Josh and Jon provide recommendations on what is required to go after one mature buck. Jon discusses cellular cameras and how they can be used for to gain more intelligence and information on the deer you hunt.  

On the Missouri Woods & Water Podcast this week Nate gets the chance to talk with Dan Johnson, host of the Nine Finger Chronicles Podcast, about his up and down season in Iowa.  Dan was after a specific buck this year and was able to get on him, but the rest of that story didn't go the way he was hoping.  So after regrouping, he cleared his mind and got back after it and was able to make some lemonade out of the lemons he had by taking down an absolute bruiser of a buck.  We also get into Dan's newest adventure of his first ever muzzleloader purchase because his number one buck at the beginning of the season lives on and he's not done with him just yet.  Thanks for listening!

As the calendar turns to December, many deer hunters are either praising sweet November or cursing its very existence. If you think your season is over because the rut has come and gone without tagging out, maybe you need to take a deep breath and listen to this week's episode of the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast. John believes that the late season is one of the best times to patternand kill a mature whitetail buck, and in this episode he is going to lay out the foundation of what has made him successfulyear after year. It's no secret that food is king when the mercurydrops, but there is more to it than just waiting till its blistering cold outside.

Today’s show opens up with Brad diving into his recent trip to Kentucky to visit family and do a little gun hunting. He starts out with his morning headed up the mountain in his car, where he quickly ran out of cell reception. He headed in and took a separate route than he normally would, when all of a sudden he started getting a no oil warning on his car! He made a quick loop back downhill but lost power on the way, so he had no other choice but to start downhill on foot! Make sure to tune in to this episode Sponsored by GunBroker.com to hear how this all panned out for him!

Next up Brayden dives into a new expenditure for himself – guiding a hunt! His uncle expressed some interest in hunting with him this season so he took him out for a nice evening rifle hunt overlooking a field into the woods. They got set up in their spot and the action started quickly with a buck cruising through the woods next to them, however they didn’t get enough of a view for a shot. Rain moved in on them so they decided to ease on out and they saw a ton of buck sign on the way out. Rub, after rub, after rub! They use the rain to cover them walking out and ease out slowly, when all of a sudden there’s a buck 15 yards from them! Tune in to hear how this encounter turned out!

Closing out Jacob gives a run down on his season so far which has been a bit of a bust including two misses by him that should’ve been a good buck down! He planned his recent weekend out hoping to turn his season around and have a little more luck! Early morning right after sunrise a couple of does came behind him and then circled back down the tree line. His plan was to swap spots after a little bit of time goes by, so he gets up and starts walking to the next spot when all of a sudden a buck comes out of the tree line! Unfortunately, he was caught completely out in the open with the sun shining right on him!! What do you guys think happens next?

This week on Michigan Wild Nate goes through some data to see what the difference is between Michigan and other states he hunted this fall.  Nate does believe Michigan can compete with the other midwest states with high quality hunts. However there are some challenges Michigan faces after looking at some of the data.  High hunter numbers along with a skewed buck to do harvest are some of the glaring differences Michigan hunters face.

Overall Nate is excited for the future of hunting in Michigan as he has experienced a change first hand. He encourages hunters to keep striving to get better for the future and never stop learning.

On this week's Deer Season Special Bonus episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman we chat with Lane Housner from In The Presence YouTube channel.

On today's episode of the Hunting Gear Podcast, Dan is joined by another Dan, Dan Mathews of the Nomadic Outdoorsman, to discuss hunting gear that would make excellent Christmas gifts for the serious hunter and outdoorsman. The Dan's talks about everything from boots, hunting weapons, and ebikes, to their favorite optics, and mapping apps used for hunting. Another episode containing a ton of great information regarding hunting gear and equipment. Enjoy!

On today’s show with GunBroker.com, we’re talking black rifles and green eyes, otherwise known as night vision. We start out talking about the first true generation of night vision – the starlight scope. Usually used in special purpose missions, they looked like a giant spotlight and mounted generally on an M1 Carbine. Thankfully, we’ve made huge advancements through today’s 3rd generation night vision. Make sure to listen in to this episode brought to you by GunBroker.com, to hear an in-depth conversation on night vision and thermal optics!

Next, we dive into night vision hunting which has skyrocketed in popularity for game like wild hogs. Make sure you check into your local game laws however, because this isn’t legal everywhere and there are some rules you need to make sure you follow. We also dive into the difference between green and white phosphor, which have major differences between them. White phosphor provides a large jump in optics with visuals being way more crisp compared to green phosphor. We also discuss the differences between night vision and thermal optics. Night vision optics absolutely cannot be used during the daytime due to how they process light, but thermals absolutely can be used during the daytime. However, your image will certainly not have as much clarity on your targets if the temperature differences aren’t as high like during the nighttime. A huge use case for thermal optics is in the recovery of game animals. Thermal optics provide terrific blood tracking capabilities that can help provide trackers with fantastic recovery efforts, including seeing the downed animal.

One of the downfalls of night vision is that depth perception gets thrown off quickly. However, with that being said, a lot of that can be trained out with serious training time and as always, it’s way better to have night vision if your enemies do not! Closing out, Allen dives into the different options for night vision at GunBroker.com. He covers a multitude of different options from the cheap end to however much you’d like to spend, there are options out there for you whether you want to outfit your helmet or your firearm.

On this episode of the Nine Finger Chronicles, Dan talks with Ohio native Zach Johns about his recent success hunting a huge double drop tine buck. Zach breaks down the block of timber that this buck would occasionally cruise through, the surrounding farms in regards to hunting pressure, and where he believed this buck was bedding on a neighboring farm. Zach also explains that he didn't recognize this buck until after he shot him and that his buddy missed him the previous year. Now a DOUBLE DROP GIANT, the game was on. Zach needed the right wind and to make some minor adjustment to his treestand locations. The rest is history!

On this week's episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman, Mitch chats with John Royer from Leatherwood Outdoors.  This YouTube channel is one of the original channel's you could find Pennsylvania hunting content before many people were doing it.  We dive into John's evolution of flintlock hunting and how he took on the challenge gaining proficiency with this weapon.  Many call this gun the "flinch-lock" due to people's reaction to the pan powder flash.  Overcoming this obstacle was a huge gain in John's accuracy.

We discuss how filming these late season hunts requires a great deal of energy.  John will often do reenactment hunts where he dresses in 1700s attire and sneaks through the frontier in search of whitetails.  We discuss projectile efficiency on game down-range and also how to properly maintain a flintlock for consistent firing.  Practice, practice, practice, and you can be ready for the last chance of whitetail hunting the day after Christmas!

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 202 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode I was joined by two PA brothers Andrew and Doug Huegel. I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation with these guys.  Andrew owns Huegel Taxidermy out of Lebanon & Lancaster County.  Doug on the other hand owns Huegel Design Co. where he does logo design, branding and illustrations.  Both are extremely talented individuals and avid hunters.  We have a fun conversation about building their brands, and growing as hunters!  

We led things off by talking about how Andrew and Doug got into hunting since they had a unique experience with it.  We get some fun hunting conversations going and one that I found interesting was hearing from Andrew about when business picks up for him at his taxidermy.  He shares how he correlates the success with weather, etc.  Doug shares the improvements that he has made regarding his mobile set up and trying to get his first PA buck this year. Again, we get into these topics and a whole lot more in this episode!  Stay safe in the woods and enjoy this fun episode and see you next week!

Thanks again for all the support and best of luck out there and Antler Up!

In this episode of The Wisconsin Sportsman, Pierce talks with Jacob Sklenar of The Wild Calling. Jacob is a Wisconsin native, former college wrestler and die hard deer hunter. 2023 was a record year for Jacob after he killed not one, not two, but THREE bucks across three different states, the largest of which was his personal best and came from our great state of Wisconsin. Jacob shares his stories from the season and the guys talk about everything from creating and testing hypotheses in the woods, to hunting specific deer, to putting the puzzle of a buck's life together, and even talk about some lessons learned from sports and how they translate to the deer woods and your mindset when hunting. You can (and I highly recommend you DO) watch Jacob's hunts play out over on his YouTube channel: The Wild Calling and follow along with his adventures on Instagram @wildcallingoutdoors

This week on the Missouri Woods & Water Podcast the guys get the chance to talk with Brady and Landon Stockman for an awesome Tales of the Chase episode.  Brady and Landon have been hunting a property since they were young and have been working on hunting bucks of an older age class for a few years.  This year they had two particular bucks they were after, and they were given the nicknames of "Duece" and "The Fine 9".  What is cool about this story is that after Brady was able to take "Duece" down early in the season, it made the possibility of "The Fine 9" taking a dirt nap a little more likely.  These are awesome stories of two brothers and the great season they have had together.  Make sure and check out their YouTube channel here - Triple Beam Outdoors YouTube .

Today’s show opens with Dan diving into his recent camping and hunting trip to Land Between the Lakes. He has been scouting this place all Fall leading up to the opener of rifle season with quite a few really nice bucks on camera. He covers his entire trip including what deer he saw and why he passed on certain ones. He put some Tink’s Bombs out to hopefully attract a nice mature buck and immediately saw a few does, leading him to believe he was definitely in the right spot. Be sure to tune in to this episode Sponsored by GunBroker.com to hear exactly how his hunt came out.

Next up a little excitement, Arica gets a trail cam photo of a very nice buck while we were in the middle of filming this episode! She has quite a few nice bucks that she’s after this season but unfortunately this one cruised by while she wasn’t in the stand. She then dives into her recent hunting story about having a really nice buck come in while she’s on the stand – in bow range! You’ll have to listen in to hear what played out.!

Closing out Brayden dives into going out to deer camp with Tucker. The morning seemed to be full of deer movement with him hearing a good bit of shots on the public land bordering next to them. Tucker ended up having some success with a buck that he and Brayden then had to drag back out before cleaning because they didn’t want to ruin the area for the next day! He ended up going to a different spot the next day and enjoyed all the luxuries of a ladder stand that he hasn’t enjoyed in some while due to mostly bow hunting. He settled in nice and comfortable and before he knew it he could hear deer coming through the woods to him. He had some success very quickly, but you won’t believe how it turned out! The last trip out into the woods he saw a really nice buck that moved through a little too quickly, but thankfully went right over to Tucker and his dad, the buck was shot but the tracking job got a little complicated!

Nate and his son Henry sit down on this Episode of Michigan Wild and talk about Henry's first buck. Henry is 7 years old and has been tagging along with Nate for years. Henry has always enjoyed helping with food plots and looking for sheds, so he has been no stranger to the hunting lifestyle. This spring going into summer Henry showed a desire for shooting his first buck. After getting comfortable shooting a firearm and feeling confident in himself Nate agreed he was ready to go hunting.

November 15th was Henry's first sit and he was faced with adversity right away. He had an opportunity on a buck, but unfortunately his shot was low and ended up wounding the deer. However Henry remained positive and stayed hunting. A few days later the buck did show back up on camera which confirmed that it wasn't a fatal hit. Then on Thanksgiving day all the hours on stand and patience paid off for Henry.

This is a very special episode for John, and one he wasn't sure he would ever get to record. On this episode of the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast, John gets to tell the final chapter of an eight and a half year old deer affectionately known as... The 2% Buck. The story goes all the way back to 2017, when John got a trail camera picture of a beautiful clean 10 point 3 year old. Later that year on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, he watched that buck work its way through a saddle and happily let him go, knowing he might turn into something special in the future. Little did he know at that moment that this very buck would drive him crazy for the next five years!

After years of obsessing and hunting the big 10 point, on the Saturday after thanksgiving, in the very spot he got that first trail camera picture 6 years before, John was able to catch up with the 2% buck. The name came by accident, when John jokingly gave himself only a 2% chance of killing the buck because of the fact he was so nocturnal and lived on land John did not have access to hunt. However, after years of habitat work and studying the deer, John was finally able to kill the monarch 6 years after first laying eyes on him.

People change, cultures change, and in todays world we as society have become more tolerant to those who are different than us. On this episode of the Nine Finger Chronicles, Dan comes out of the closet to his guest Tony Peterson, when he admits that he no longer is just a bowhunter. Recently Dan bought a muzzleloader and this year he will be hunting the late season with firearm.

On top of that, Dan and Tony get in to another conversation about specific rules and regulations that they like and dislike including the attempted introduction of crossbows in to the Iowa archery season. The guys also get in to a discussion about the difference between hunting stories where the hunter uses a bow verses using a gun and public land verses private land. Just another great BS Session with Tony.

On this episode of the Nine Finger Chronicles, and the final installment of WASP Week, Dan talks about his plans for the rest of the year and a couple goals for next season. Dan explains why he is excited for the upcoming late season after the purchase of a CVA muzzleloader. In the second half of this episode, Dan talks about his plans to hunt more whitetails in other midwestern states like Missouri, Wisconsin, and Illinois. Then he ends the episode by debating whether or not he should buy a new bow for next years archery season. Just another fun episode, ENJOY!

The Buckeyes had a rough visit to TTUN…But Andrew Muntz did the thing up North. AVENGE ME!!! That he did. Lots of references there kids. On this episode the o2 crew breaks down the successful Drummond Island hunting trip. Paul is back to hating deer hunting and is patiently counting down the days ,95 days if anyone cares. Out of state hunts can be a ton of fun, and Deer camp is always a hoot. Buckle up, this is a good un.

On this week's Deer Season Special Bonus episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman we are joined by Steve Sherk Jr. from Sherk's guide service.  Many of you know Steve as the public land grinder who spends 300+ days a year in the woods scouting and hunting.  Steve has shared insight throughout the years via podcasts and social media for many hunters providing strategy and advice.  But what goes on in a Pennsylvania public land guide service?  

Steve shares stories of different clientele that have traveled from all over the country to hunt with him.  He recalls big deer that hit the ground after years of pursuit.  He also recalls the ones that got away, for some pretty crazy reasons too!  We discuss the higher odds success of Pennsylvania rifle season and some of Steve's strategies to connect amidst the orange army.  This episode meshes well with the time of year - hopefully you can learn from some of these stories if you still have a tag in your pocket!

On this episode of Huntavore, Nick and his buddies have a standing tradition of a one night only deer camp at a cabin in the woods.  The night is as much about getting together as it is actually hunting for deer.  Hitting whitetail season hard in archery, the more social and less stressful feel of firearm season is a reprieve.  Along with a healthy dose of beer and booze, the food spread is always a winner.  This year, the archery killed deer hearts were marinated and seared for tacos.  New adds were bear sausage and backstrap from Mitchell Shirk, and wild boar bacon.  All were huge wins with the crew.  The second event was a needed cut night at Huntavore HQ.  5 does taken by the group, and lots of processing was needed.  Each guy had a set plan for how they wanted their deer done.  Some wanted more roasts and steaks, and others wanted mostly ground material for sticks and sausage.  I kept my deer back for cutting with my son, and more “fancy” cuts.  The experience of cut night is both an amazing night of fun and laughs, but also a bit of slip in quality of cutting.  It's a balancing act, you want to get the most out of the harvest, but you also want to harvest as much of the fun as possible.

In this episode of the Southern Way Hunting Podcast, Josh is flying solo to talk about a strategy he's found to be highly effective on pressured ground: hunting pressure funnels. 

This strategy isn't flashy, takes a lot of legwork, and depends on lots of hunting pressure. But it sure seems to work! In fact, this has been Josh's primary strategy over the last four seasons, and his encounters with mature bucks have skyrocketed. Tune in to hear how he puts this simple but not easy strategy to work!

On this 2nd episode of WASP Week, John Nalls of Pennsylvania talks to us about living that full fledge bowhunting life. John talks about when he started hunting as a kid, hunting in an area that has a large population of people, and his adventures on both public and private land. He also explains why he decided to pick up a bow over a gun and his love for the chess match that we call bowhunting. The guys finish the episode by talking about their arrow set-ups and their favorite WASP broadheads.

On today’s show with GunBroker.com, we’re talking one of the most controversial rounds out today – the 6.5 Creedmoor, with both Chris Powell from Houndsman XP Podcast and Rick Larnerd from Gobbler Knob Long Rifles. No matter what side of the fence you sit on pertaining to the 6.5, we may make you mad by the end of this episode! Starting off, Allen goes into a little background on the 6.5, its creation, and how it got to where it is today. Out of the gate, the 6.5 was touted mostly as a long distance paper punching round, but not very much beyond that. Well, Hornady got their hands on it and flipped that stigma on its head. Listen in to this episode presented by GunBroker.com to hear our entire in-depth conversation on the 6.5 Creedmoor.

Up next, Logan dives into the 6.5 even being used for plains game over in Africa, to be clear, for the smaller plains game, definitely not most of the larger ones! We get into how people feel about taking elk with the 6.5, with the general consensus being that the .30 caliber cartridges still reign supreme there, however it is most definitely something that you can do. We go over long range shooting with one of the biggest caveats on the 6.5 being some people overlook shot placement because they believe the 6.5 is the magic round, which may be a large reason why the 6.5 receives so much criticism.

Closing out we go over everyone’s first rifle cartridge, with a few very interesting answers from the crew! We also debate how the 6.5 managed to blow up to be as popular as it is today. From launch, the 6.5 seemed to have the perfect storm for success, and in many ways it most certainly has been. We also go over some other rounds that may be the next sleeper round to blow up like the 6.5 Creedmoor. Do you think the 6.5 Creedmoor is just a fad or around for the long haul?

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 201 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode I was joined by PA native Mark Belles.  Mark is an avid hunter who loves whitetail and getting out for bear during the season.  Mark had a very quick season this year as far as whitetails are concerned.  By quick, I mean tagging out on his buck on the statewide opener back in September.  Mark is a friend of Tom Runscavage, who is a great friend of mine.  It was great to have the opportunity to speak with Mark and hear certain perspectives on deer and bear hunting and how important mindset plays a role in what we do in the woods.

This episode was originally going to be an episode for the Antler Up Report, however I decided to make this just a regular episode.  We led things off by talking about mindset and how important it is when it comes to hunting.  Over the past few seasons Mark has been pretty successful and he shares what he believes what has led to this success.  One key aspect that Mark brings up is exploring and just being in the woods.  I couldn’t agree more with this and I know it sounds ridiculously simple, but it also means putting in quality time and not just shooting for miles and overall time.  Following this we dive into Mark’s buck success story and a few other topics to finish out this episode!  Stay safe in the woods this upcoming rifle season here in PA!  Enjoy this fun episode and see you next week! 

Thanks again for all the support and best of luck out there and Antler Up!

Last episode of November on Michigan Wild this week. An episode all about fishing rivers for steelhead with Shane Rodenburg. Shane has dove into river fishing the last 4 years and is absolutely torn up with it. Nate being an avid hunter is still slightly perplexed why someone would purposely target fish instead of whitetails this time of year. 

However the more time Nate spends talking with people who have a passion for fishing the more enlightened he gets. Nate and Shane discuss the many parallels there are between chasing river fish along with whitetails throughout the fall. Scouting and having an adequate amount of time are some important factors that allow guys to be successful at a high level. 

You can follow Shane along at misteelheader on Instagram.

Today’s show opens with Arica’s recent hunting expenditures. It’s been a little slow go but on a recent hunt for the first time ever she heard a buck grunting coming through the woods. Heart pounding excitement kicked in as she heard him coming closer through the woods. A doe walked right past her so she’s super excited waiting on this buck to come right through where the doe did. The buck grunting edges closer through the woods and finally comes to light – unfortunately it’s a button buck!! She sat for a while longer when she heard some more rustling coming through the woods, make sure to tune into this episode sponsored by GunBroker.com!

Next up Brayden talks about his recent hunting trip with Phil on a private farm that really just wants them to take some deer off of it. After tree hopping for a while he finally got settled in when not long after he got a text from Phil that a buck was coming across the field. Brayden drug some Tink’s 69 on the way in and Phil’s buck came in right on a line following the trail. Phil let an arrow fly on this buck and got a good blood trail to start with. Unfortunately, it started to dry up as the trail went on, all the way up to a neighboring property. He let it set overnight and after connecting with the land owner next door he continued his search but unfortunately came up empty handed.

Jacob covers a whole week of outdoor stories that he’s had the pleasure to collect here lately. His first story goes in depth of him chasing whitetail during bow season. The absolute perfect scenario comes to fruition with a really nice 8-point working a scrape line directly up to him. He drew back and…you’ll have to tune in to this episode to hear exactly what happened! He also spent some time in North Carolina on a fishing trip at Deep Creek in Great Smoky Mountain National Park. They had some awesome success starting with a nice brown trout and a few smaller ones as well. Fishing clear water creeks, he got some awesome fishing knocked out on this trip with some real trophy fish being reeled in. Circling back to whitetail he goes over his exciting weekend back chasing whitetail during rifle opener.

Closing out Derek dives into his recent hunting expenditures chasing whitetail. He let a really solid buck walk on opening day that he’s hoping he doesn’t regret later in the season. He gives a great description of his hunting spot to set the scene on just how close he let this deer walk for a second time a few days later! After spending some time watching a small forky chasing a doe back and forth a real nice buck makes his appearance. Make sure to tune in to this episode to hear how his hunt turned out!

Charles Admire joins John this week on the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast for a little midseason update. Charles was on right before the opening of archery season to talk about some of his plans for the upcoming year and a few bucks he was hoping to catch up with. Half way through the season he and John were both able to harvest one of their target bucks, with Charles taking a personal best!

Charles talks about how Texas's antler restrictions have really helped the age class on their property, and how the last two years they have seen a big bump in older age class deer. Those older age class bucks have generally also sported larger headgear, which led to Charles being able to shoot his biggest buck to date. The buck managed to elude him during archery season, but a well timed cold front brought some opening day of rifle season success!

If you are looking for an electric vehicle that may help you get closer to you hunting locations with less effort and with making less noise, this may be the product for you. ENJOY!

There's still a lot of season left. But for many of us, the passing of the rut means it's time to return to the real world. Work, family, holidays, and all those obligations we neglected in October and early November now demand our attention and we simply can't spend the time in the woods like we did earlier in the year. The season isn't over, but it's a great time to reflect on what you've learned, and how you've grown as a deer hunter. 

In this episode of the How to Hunt Deer Podcast, Josh talks with Pierce Nelles about lessons learned the hard way from their rutcations. Tune in to hear what they got right, what they got wrong, and what they plan to change moving forward.

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 200 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode I was joined by PA native and straight up awesome hunter Chad Snader.  I am thrilled to finally have Chad on the podcast!  This is literally like 3 years in the making.  A few years back I was trying to possibly do the mid-season episodes, and asked Chad to come on.  Plans fell through, but we have kept tabs on each other and over these 3 seasons or so I have watched Chad knock buck after buck down, turkey after turkey and this year he had one helluva week in October. So, we discussed his success from this specific week where he notched his PA bear tag, fall turkey tag and buck tag!  

Chad and I have a good conversation during this hour where we get an introduction to who he is, what has helped Chad become more consistent with his success over the years and more.  I found Chad to be extremely relatable and I believe you will as well.  Just another great hunter from the state of PA that puts in the work and enjoys himself out in the outdoors.  I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your friends and family.  Stay safe in the woods this upcoming rifle season here in PA!  Enjoy this fun episode and see you next week! 

Thanks again for all the support and best of luck out there and Antler Up!

On this week's episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman we chat with Jason Say from Wired Outdoors.  Jason is a born and raised Pennsylvania hunter that works hard each and every season to fill his buck tag.  We begin by discussing how the content in which he produces over time has changed.  His goal is to make the most relatable content possible to his viewers.  The things you see him do on his show are things many PA hunters can accomplish with a little sweat equity.

Last year in 2022, Jason had an emotional rollercoaster hunt for a deer that was a gross Boone and Crockett buck.  His strategy for this deer was not much different than his others - hunt smart and as often as possible.  However, the grind for this buck was like nothing he had ever experienced.  After over 70 sits for this deer, he was able to wrap his tag around it during PA rifle season.  You can see everything on the Wired Outdoors YouTube channel and be sure to check out All In: A Deer Hunting Documentary - a story for a magnificent PA whitetail.

On this episode of Michigan Wild returning guest Brandon Travis and Nate recap the 5th week of the season. This week was the start of Brandon's bow camp down in Indiana and also the same week Nate's camp headed down to Illinois. Brandon has past hunting experience on this property along with good history of how bucks act during the rut. He breaks down each day and the mindset he had as he arrived on the property. 

Brandon eventually settles on an awesome rut funnel that the deer were using and he had the stereo typical rut hunts that every bowhunter dreams about. Paired with the determination to sit all day and go to an area that the deer wanted to be in eventually led to success on the last day of his hunt.
