Talking Deer

A couple years back I spent two days shed hunting in South Dakota; I learned a lot about how deer choose where to spend there time, and I think it’s very applicable to the Midwest. 

I hunt the Kentucky bow opener! Listen to hear what I did right and what I did wrong! 

Here’s how I plan to kill the biggest buck of my life this season. 

These are all the gear and training exercises I will be using to become a more proficient and confident archer this year. 

In this episode, I talk about how I managed to miss 4 bucks averaging nearly 150” and how you can learn from my mistakes to make sure this doesn’t happen to you. 

This episode is all about setting good goals for the 2024 deer season. Listen along to help think about you can set goals to become a better hunter and a better person. 

Uncle Scott’s 2023 buck was special! Enjoy as Scott and Joe tell the story of the biggest buck they’ve ever hunted! 

Late season can be even better than the rut! Listen to find out how.  Key takeaways:  -Cover is extremely important (hunt close to it) -Deer are jumpy: plan accordingly  -Don’t get tunnel vision on one spot or even one deer herd -Access and exit are crucial  -Food is still important 

Let’s talk gear!!! I’ll probably put out a gear update podcast annually to talk about some of the favorite gear that we use.  Here’s a few things we love:  -Mathew’s bows  -Tidewe rangefinders  -tactacam cellular cameras  -apple sd lightning adapter  -vortex optics
