Today I’m joined by my good buddy Michael Varady. Michael is known for killing hammer deer In NJ (particularly the past few years with a traditional bow) but this year he took his talents out of state for the first time. With less than Ideal temperatures in early Nov., he used some tried and true methods that have worked well for him in the past. Sometimes, just simply starting with finding any deer is the key to unlocking success. Hope you all dig the conversation as much as I did – Thanks for listening!

Today I’m joined by my good buddy Nathan Killen. Nathan consistently finds success in challenging mountain terrain. Whether it’s in his home state hunting mountain regions of Virginia or traveling to Ohio…a tag is usually filled. However, what I most appreciate about Nathan is his humble approach to tackling a season’s challenges…recognizing sometimes you get what you need…and not always what you want. Thanks for listening!

Today I’m joined by my good buddy Jacob Emery. Jacob’s season started off with a bang…then the grind set it. With the best part of November behind him he decided to go to the well that has produced in the past. With water levels down, that meant longer access and not quite as stealthy as a kayak. His persistences would pay off…and a tribute season continues. Thanks for listening!

Today I’m joined by my good buddy Arron Bleise of The Fall podcast. Arron has had a great season filling two buck tags and had an absolutely epic spot and stalk hunt to kill a Michigan Hammer. Sometimes success finds you in ways you don’t imagine. But the element we control is our willingness to go for it. And that’s exactly how one of Arron’s hunt’s came together. Hope you all dig the show as much as I did. Thanks for listening!

Today I’m joined by my good buddy Aaron Hepler. Aaron is one of the most dedicated outdoorsman I know. Regardless of season, Aaron is almost always in the woods scouting, hiking, hunting, looking for his next experience. This year he had a goal of filling two specific tags. One being his first ever bull Elk tag. The other his PA buck tag on public lands…which is a challenge…and something he manages to do with consistency. If he were going to fill these two tags he’d have to dust himself off after a heartbreaker of one that got away.

Today I’m joined by my good buddy Jake Bush. Jake is known for his efficiency in killing giants in the early part of October. This year has thrown him a curveball with the areas he hunts being hit hard by EHD. He’s found most of his top target bucks dead…or has found out from others that they were found dead. He’s logged 750 miles this year boots on the ground trying to locate a target. You’ll find few people more dedicated than Jake…and I’d put money on him filling a tag before seasons end. So what’s an October bed hunter to do when the calendar has turned to November and beyond…that’s what we’re talking about today!

Today I’m joined by my good buddy (you know him and love him) Johnny Utah Mulligan. John has been traveling like a mad man so far this summer/fall and is running up a pretty good taxidermy bill…along with some killer stories – South Africa, Colorado, Wyoming. He’s back in Iowa now and ready to turn his attention to whitetails!

Today on the podcast I’m joined by my good Buddy Jake Hofer. Jake is one of the guys who I’ve learned a lot from when it comes to using longer-term trail camera data to plan hunts. More specifically how I approach patterning scrapes is directly influenced by Jake’s approach (and love) for scrapes. Intimately learning when and how different scrapes are being used has helped me target specific dates related to a specific scape area. The past few years, I’ve picked a specific date I’ve seen active and not surprising, I had encounters with shooter bucks in both instances. Kinda crazy to pick one date in the entire whitetail calendar…and consistently have it produce. Hope you dig the conversation – thanks for listening!

Today we are talking bid woods mountain bucks with Dylan Pavlik. Dylan has found an approach that has filled his archery tag in Early October in the mountains of Pennsylvania the past two seasons. There’s no pixie dust here, just a woodsman with determination who’s willing to burn up the boot leather to pattern mountain bucks consistently during early October. Hope you all dig conversation as much as I did – thanks for listening!

Today I’m joined by my good buddy Cameron. You all may know him from his handy camera work on The Exodus Outdoor Gear Youtube Channel or his Deer Gear podcast. The past few years Cameron has been on a hot streak especially, early season. In back to back years he’s killed two killer bucks in the Dakotas…this year an absolute velvet giant from the ground. – thanks for listening!
