This week I have Greg Litzinger on the show. For most folks in the bowhunting world he needs no introduction. Greg is an absolute killer with a bow in his hand. He resides in New Jersey and spends a lot of his time hunting tidal marshes, but his heart lies in hunting the hills. Greg has killed bucks in several different types of terrain. However, today our focus is on hill country rut funnels. We talk about terrain traps, habitat funnels, food sources, doe bedding. We talk about how bucks use the terrain to their advantage to navigate the landscape in search of estrous does, and how YOU can find the weak spots in their cruising routes to pull them into bow range. I had a blast recording with Greg, and I hope you all find this episode both informative and entertaining. Happy November!!

In this episode I have my buddy Joel on. Joel is a brand new bowhunter. In this episode, Joel and I discuss what all is involved in becoming a bowhunter. We talk about shooting practice, and learning the anatomy of a deer to take ethical shots. We talk about gear, learning how to package all of it quietly and how to climb. We talk about learning woodsmanship skills, reading the woods and how to scout. We talk about some of the overwhelming learning curves and hurdles that Joel has been faced with as he continues to evolve as a deer hunter. Overall a fun episode to record with my buddy Joel and I hope you all enjoy!

In this week's episode I have my buddy Caleb Seegers on the show. Caleb has been a guest a couple of times before. Caleb typically hunts whitetails in the state of North Carolina. However last week he joined myself and a group of friends for his first ever Sika Deer hunt on the eastern shore of Maryland. We ended up caping out two big stags, and killed several hinds as well! It was a slammer of a week filled with ups and downs. It was a grind, but it was awesome. In this episode we'll be doing a recap of how our week went, the type of terrain we hunted and some of the setups we made that ultimately led us to success. We talk about some of the differences and similarities that Whitetail and Sika deer hunting share. We talk about some of the major challenges that we faced, and how we overcame them. Overall, it was an incredible experience and I'm filled with anticipation for what the rest of the season has to hold!

In this week's episode I have Jacob Coons of the Hunt Detail podcast on to discuss the tactics we like to utilize during the month of October. We discuss finding isolated food sources, like preferred feed trees. We also discuss identifying habitat and terrain traps to see more deer using a limited food source. We talk about keying in on specific feed trees, even when there's an absolute bumper crop of acorns. Jacob and I discuss around what time of the month we like to start transition to a more "Pre-Rut" style of hunting, and what that looks like for us. We talk about different types of scrapes, hunting scrape lines, making mock scrapes and hunting cruising funnels. All in all a good conversation with Jacob that I hope yall enjoy! Happy October!!

In this week's episode I talk with Tyler Bentley. Tyler is the owner of "The Rise Hunt" productions. For some of you Tyler may need no introduction as him and his team have producing high quality content in the whitetail industry for the past 10 years. In today's episode Tyler and I talk about some of the stressors of filming your hunts, and owning a business in the outdoor industry. We also talk about TWO success stories for him so far this year, both on great bucks! One buck that he harvested in full velvet in North Dakota, and another absolute hammer that he recently killed in Missouri. Tyler is an extremely down to earth dude and we had a blast recording this episode. Thanks for listening!

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!

In this week's episode we'll be re-capping both an unsuccessful and a successful hunt from opening week in the state of Maryland with our previous guest Mike Rebert! Mike and I go over the details of what type of terrain, sign and details he keyed in on to achieve success in locating a concentration of deer, and ultimately having success harvesting a buck! Mike also killed a doe the same week, utilizing the same terrain feature. We talk about how bucks will use even the slightest changes in topography to their advantage to move through the woods undetected. We also talk about how keying in on water sources in areas that water is a limited resource can be killer. This was a great conversation with Mike and I hope you all enjoy listening to it!

In this episode I talk with Mitchel Shirk, the host of the Pennsylvania Woodsman podcast. Mitchell and I discuss "working the kinks out" in early season and diving back into your deer hunting routine. We talk about some of the silly mistakes that we'll make early into the fall before we get "dialed back in". We discuss some early season food sources that we like to hunt from acorns to ag fields and food plots. We also discuss our personal experiences regarding deer's acorn species preference. Mitchell talks about his experience with deer feeding on ag food sources and the correlation between time of year and drought vs wet conditions and the impact that it has on their feeding patterns. We share some of our goals and ambitions for the upcoming season as well. Overall a really fun conversation with Mitchell. Thanks for listening!!
