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.

Hope you all dig conversation as much as I did – 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!
