Today on the podcast I’m joined by my buddy Greg Litzinger. Not to bury the lead…but we drop a great way to tell if you’ve found a bucks core range or his transition area…stay tuned. But this time of year I like to reflect on the past season and dissect the good, the bad and the ugly. The goal is to start with an honest assessment of what we need to focus on for the upcoming year to continue to grow as a bowhunters. Everything from executing critical moments of the hunt, strategies, to mindset…it’s all fair game in an effort to be a better bowhunter this fall. Hope you all dig the episode – thanks for listening!

Today on the podcast I’m joined by my buddy Troy Pottenger. As a reminder, Troy is hunting some of the hardest to kill whitetails in the mountains of Idaho. He’s not the only predator in the mountains, where deer are more often hunting by mountain lions, wolves and Grizzly. Few mistakes can be made, and Troy has to really be dialed in. What’s more, he usually is hunting a specific buck. Hard enough to accomplish in the best of circumstances. For Troy, shed hunting isn’t just something to do to pass the time during winter and spring. It’s a key puzzle piece to determine when and where he may kill his next wall hanger. Hope you dig the chat as much as I did – thanks for listening!

Today on the podcast I’m joined by my good buddy Josh Ilderton from the Untamed. Aside from killing West Virginia public land mountain bucks from the ground, Josh is passionate about sharing hunting with anyone who’s interested in learning. This season, he had a front row seat as the bowhunting spark has officially ignited in his son. Sometimes our children (or those younger than us) teach us old dogs tricks we’ve forgotten…or remind us to not take experience for granted. Not to mention, Josh killed a great buck in late season – we talk about all of this. The conversation is always fun with Josh and hope you all enjoy it as much as I did – thanks for listening!

Today on the podcast I’m joined by my buddy Corey McKinney. One of my favorite things about traveling is meeting other hunters, particularly the locals. I met Corey in an Iowa public land parking lot…and then again, appropriately,  at Casey’s. We shared what intel we each had about the piece of public we were both hunting, swapped a few trail camera pictures, and have stayed in touch since. This year Corey killed a killer Iowa hammer in that same area. Super cool hunt, and super cool story.  Thanks for listening!

Today on the podcast I’m joined by my buddy Dan Johnson of the Sportsmen’s Nation. Dan was able to fill his first out of state DIY buck tag this year spotting and stalking in South Dakota. He was there for mule deer, but an opportunity presented on a whitetail. Dan even had time to take a refreshing swim during the hunt…maybe not. I’ll let Dan tell the story. Hope you all dig the conversation as much as I did. Thanks for listening!
