Cam is no stranger to shooting above average bucks in Michigan even at his young age. He has tagged multiple mature deer and enjoys the process and the challenge it offers each year.

Even though this buck was shot during the October lull, this story starts over the summer. Cam gained access to a new property and had no idea what to expect. While expectations were soon set shortly after deploying cams as multiple bucks showed up and stayed leading up to October 1st.

As the first few weeks of the season progressed Cam had multiple encounters with this deer. He stayed persistent and stuck to his game plan. Every encounter Cam continued to learn more about the buck and how he used the property. All that came together on October 17th when Cam shot his October Lull Buck!

On this episode of The Nomadic Outdoorsman, Dan chats with hunting buddy Austin Reinold about the ups and downs of their hunting season so far.

Dan and Austin started their 2024 hunting season by flying to Alaska and chasing moose and caribou. Although they came home empty handed, the disappointment from the hunt wasn’t quite over. Weeks later Dan discovered more upsetting news on his phone which the two discuss in this podcast episode. Both Dan and Austin have had encounters with their target bucks for this season but have not been able to capitalize on the opportunities. They discuss adjustments to their hunting strategies, improvements to their land and upcoming changes in the weather which they both hope will prove valuable as they try to get a mature buck on the ground in Missouri. With only a few weeks before rifle season they try to figure out what needs to change in order to have success with a bow early in the year.

On this episode Huntavore, Nick is making the best of a current situation.  I’m sure like a lot of busy dad’s, the opportunity to get on hunts has been few and far between.  With only a handful of sits, Nick is biding his time.  While in this hunting purgatory, he has had the opportunity to assist successful hunters.  Two hunters hired Nick to process their 2 New Mexico bull elk.  He goes on his approach and how it is the biggest wildgame process he’s ever done.  Nick also helped salvage a young whitetail buck that his brother in law hit.  A bit of a sobering dose of reality, yet something that can be relatable, on this episode of Huntavore.

On this episode of Michigan WIld, Nate Rozeveld is solo this week. Nate takes the opportunity to do a season update and break down some of his hunts where he saw target deer and discuss the Recurve Debacle. The fall of 2024 has been exciting and challenging for Nate. He has had multiple encounters with target deer every week of October so far. Each encounter has been under different circumstances and yet to reveal a punched tag. 

Facing different crop rotations and an influx of deer density has been part of the challenge and has found Nate hunting multiple October mornings. The morning of the 25th proved to be the start of the Debacle. Nate goes into detail of the hunt and the decisions that lead to the tree he found himself in and what ultimately led to a shot on a buck with his recurve.

The story didn't end with a grip and grin, however Nate still has the desire and confidence to continue hunting with his recurve. October is almost to a close with some good hunts left. Nate will continue to make strategic moves to get in front of a target deer or kill a whitetail with his recurve.

On this week of The Last 7 Days, Shane Loney joins Nate Rozeveld to recap the 3rd week of Michigan's archery season. Shane's fall started with a hiccup as he had an accident while setting a treestand. After some surgery and having his thumb wrapped and splint he hasn't let that slow him down. Fortunately he is still able to shoot his bow, and has some great friends that have helped him set stands and make strategic moves.

Up until this point of the season both guys talk about their personal experiences with seeing some great deer and having some solid sits that just haven't had the desirable outcomes. Nate feels he was just too passive on a few sits and it cost him an opportunity at a target buck. Shane has been getting some daylight pictures of his target deer, but hasn't found himself quite there yet either.

However both Nate and Shane are eagerly anticipating the upcoming cold front paired with the later part of October. This is when both guys move into targeting specific transition areas next to bedding and feel it's a great opportunity to catch a mature buck on his feet, either in the morning or evening.

As the summer went by and the buck continued to grow, Hunter knew this buck was special. Opening day came and the wind and weather conditions were perfect for what Hunter needed to go after the buck he called cactus. After only a few hours of sleep he climbed into his stand well before daylight and began the long waiting game.

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? With most arrow set ups, no, not without luck or wounding the animal. Arrows don't like bone, especially with lighter arrow setups that are commonly used. Troy emphasizes the importance of understanding shot placement and the anatomy of deer. 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. That means knowing what your arrow is capable of doing should it encounter a heavy bone like the humerus of a whitetail. If it can't go through it, don't take the shot! 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.
