Today on the podcast I’m joined by my buddy Nathan Killen. Nathan is one of the best hunters I’ve had the privilege to meet while running this podcast. His hunting is only outdone by the quality person he is. Nathan had a great year fulfilling a Long-time goal of killing a true giant public land monarch in the mountains of Virginia. Bucks like this don’t come around often, and if you pay attention, they’ll teach you lessons you might think you already know. Great chat as always – thanks for listening.

Today on the podcast I’m joined by my buddy Todd Freeman. Todd is one of those guys who constantly seeks adventure – whether it’s traveling back to his home state of Michigan to hunt the U.P. or out his back door kayaking into hard to reach place in New Jersey. One thing he’s always looking for are bucks that like wet feet. Aside from that, he’s become my go to resource as I jump in to the world of shooting a long bow. Prior to recording this episode, Todd and I spent the day in his shop building my zero arrow and shooting his long bow that he gifted me, until I have my made. It’s good to have good friends to help you do epic stuff. Hope you all dig the sesh as much as I did – thanks for listening.

Today I’m joined by my buddy Tyrell Roy. As many big bucks as Tyrell has on his wall, it’s never about the mount or trophy. It’s always about the experience, the chess match, and challenging himself to be a better hunter. This year he wanted to see if his skills and all the success he’s had in Oklahoma would translate when traveling out of state on his first out of state public land whitetail hunt. Let’s just say he got the full public land experience with all the highs and lows that come with it. Come to find out…hard work and perseverance still work. Hope you all dig the conversation as much as I did – thanks for listening.

Today I’m joined by my good buddy Johnny Stewart. Johnny is grinding through his late season with a few tags still in his pocket – he’s on his way to Iowa as we speak. He filled 3 buck tags this past October through November in Pennsylvania and West Virginia. The success didn’t come easy. Some of his key spots were burned early in the season between human pressure and logging that occurred. Today we talk about changing plans when things go south. And even after years of success how Johnny is always most excited about each season’s learning opportunities – thanks for listening.

Today I’m joined by my buddy Erik Barber. Erik has had a killer fall, filling two archery tags. Funny thing about filling tags early, is you sometimes feel like you’re missing out with so much season left. I don’t think anyone would complain about filling tags early…but there is definitely some fear of missing out, or missing those November sunrises. Erik is as passionate an outdoorsman as you’ll find, initially cutting his teeth at Midwest whitetail with the guys from THP and now working for Vortex Optics. Making your passion your job can create some turbulence in keeping joy in the hunt. WE talk about Eriks phenomenal fall and how he’s learned to keep the hunting fires burning bright while working in the outdoor industry for a decade. Awesome conversation and hope you all dig it as much as I did – and thanks for listening.

Today we’re doing something a little different… I’m turning over the reins of the show to my buddy Aaron Hepler to talk about the filling my PA tag this October. Pulling this buck out with my kayak was something I set as a goal a few years ago when I found this area scouting. I’ve been beaten by two different bucks in this spot the previous two season…things finally came together on October 16th.

Today I’m joined by my buddy Tony Peterson. Tony has been on the show a handful of times and I consider him to be one of the best public land hunters I’ve ever met. More than that, he has a keen ability to observe, gain perspective, articulate complex situations and execute a plan…be it hunting strategy, or life events in general. He chases the experience above everything…truthfully it’s a perspective I’ve gained from spending time with him and it’s made hunting better for me. I’m glad to call him a friend and always enjoy our conversations. Hope you guys dig it as much as I did – thanks for listening!

Today I’m joined by my buddy Cody D’Acquisto. Over the past few seasons Cody has evolved his approach to bowhunting…switching to traditional archery equipment, he’s always been one for unconventional low stand set ups…no camo and he’s done away with using trail cameras. He’s a dying breed of bowhunter who enjoys the harder things in life…whether it’s challenging hunts…or iron man style races he’s for sure a dying breed. One of my favorite people to talk with, hope you all dig the conversation as much as I did – thanks for listening.

Today I’m joined by my buddy Hunter Hogan. Hunter, as his name would suggests, was almost destined to be a mature buck killer. At 25 he’s racking up an impressive resume. What’s most impressive is his dedication to his craft…professional archer, and mature buck killer. His life is purpose built to always be in the hunt. He’s recently launched a YouTube channel (Hunter Hogan) where you can see him travel the country filling tags. As authentic and skilled public land hunter as you’ll find- thanks for listening.

Today I’m joined my buddy Joe Rentmeester. Joe is one of the most detailed hunters I’ve met and usually leads to the demise of a buck he has his sights set on. Today we did something a little different where we walked through each phase of the hunting season to see how Joe would tackle or has tackled hunts throughout the season. Success doesn’t come easy. It usually comes with adapting as the season changes…and that’s exactly what we discuss during todays episode. Hope you all dig the session as much as I did – thanks for listening!
