In this episode, I talk with Chris Jenkins about hunting the southern Appalachians. This area has low deer densities and rugged terrain that makes finding mature bucks a unique challenge. Chris has an extremely mobile style that helps him find what he calls “buck pockets” where he focuses his time. Chris spends a ton of time exploring the mountains and uses his woodsman ship to be successful. I really enjoyed talking with Chris and I hope you will learn as much from him as I have! Topics Include: -where big bucks hide in the southern Appalachians -how scouting while bear hunting helps Chris find where mature bucks live -unconventional hunting tactics THP MERCH: https://bit.ly/30ZC1rm - Get 10% off THP Merch w/Code ZACH GoWild - Save 10% on orders w/code THP - https://bit.ly/3i4c15r OPTICS - 10% off Vortex Optics w/code THP10 - https://bit.ly/3AOdKDQ TURKEY CALLS - Get 10% off Woodhaven Calls w/coupon code - THP2022 - http://bit.ly/2IagiSe MAPPING - Get 20% Off OnX Hunt!

If you are like us, you often feel unable to relate to hunting shows telling you to hunt food sources in late season as you watch someone hunt over a standing crop field in frigid temperatures. Many hunters don’t hunt in an area that allows them to hunt near destination food sources like that or even in cold weather. So finding a good food source that deer pile into when it gets cold isn’t that easy. We have also found that targeting food sources during the late season isn’t the only way to hunt heavily pressured areas. In this podcast, Aaron and I talk about different situations that we have found mature bucks during late season and what we target to find them. Hopefully you can relate to this conversation about late season hunting! Topics Include: -hunting mature bucks differently than other deer -food sources other than crops that we look for during late season -our favorite muzzleloader powder and bullets THP MERCH: https://bit.ly/30ZC1rm - Get 10% off THP Merch w/Code ZACH GoWild - Save 10% on orders w/code THP - https://bit.ly/3i4c15r OPTICS - 10% off Vortex Optics w/code THP10 - https://bit.ly/3AOdKDQ TURKEY CALLS - Get 10% off Woodhaven Calls w/coupon code - THP2022 - http://bit.ly/2IagiSe MAPPING - Get 20% Off OnX Hunt!

In this episode, I talk with THP intern Nick Andrews to share more about him and his life story. He tells us how he went from being a marine, to an art student, to a THP intern all by the age of 26. Nick is a unique character with a lot of unique perspectives and it has been a pleasure spending time with him this season. I really enjoy listening to his stories and I would imagine you will enjoy them too!

In this episode, Larry and I talk about some of the recent realizations we have had about hunting in hill country. As we learn more about hunting deer in big timber settings we continue to get better at anticipating specific bedding areas. But we often push too far and ultimately spook the deer before we even get a chance to setup on them or stalk them. As last season ended my mission was to do my best to get a better understanding of why we made that mistake and how we could prevent the mistake during the offseason and into this season. After discussing the success and the failure we have had in the last several years we have come up with new strategies for these areas that will hopefully help us stay in the game more often without pushing too far and bumping deer. Larry and I talk about different strategies for both archery and firearm seasons and hopefully you can learn from what we believe has been our biggest mistake when hunting the hills!

This year was our second year making the trip up to New York to try tracking down a buck in the snow. Getting experience trying a new tactic is a ton of fun but we also enjoy sharing camp with other hunters that spend more time hunting these areas every year than we do to talk hunting and learn from each others experiences. In this episode, Keith and I talk with our friends Jon and Jake from Just Hunt Club as well as our friends Cori, Bailey, Adam, and Brad who we met through our travels to New York. Sharing camp with friends and "camp talk" is always something that helps us learn so hopefully you enjoy our conversation about tracking in the big woods and can learn something from all of our experiences along the way!

In this episode, Warb, Ted, Greg, and I talk about overlooked buck bedding tendencies in hill country. Hunting a lot of different areas over the last few years we have experienced bedding tendencies that often don't get mentioned in most buck bedding conversations. Often times buck bedding is described by specific winds and terrain features but in our experience in a lot of situations buck beds are not limited to those specific spots. It seems that bucks utilize different areas based off of food sources, wind, and cover and those areas don't always end up being on the leeward wind side of a hill on the upper third. Topics Include: -buck bedding bedding in ravines or deep ditches -bedding in thick cover vs open timber -wind speed and directions for hunting specific bedding areas THP MERCH: BLACK FRIDAY SALE - https://bit.ly/30ZC1rm - Get 10% off THP Merch w/Code ZACH GoWild - Save 10% on orders w/code THP - https://bit.ly/3i4c15r OPTICS - 10% off Vortex Optics w/code THP10 - https://bit.ly/3AOdKDQ TURKEY CALLS - Get 10% off Woodhaven Calls w/coupon code - THP2022 - http://bit.ly/2IagiSe MAPPING - Get 20% Off OnX Hunt!

As much as we dream about executing a plan perfectly and enjoying year after year of filled tags and a full freezer, we all experience times where it feels like nothing is going right. In this episode, we talk about staying positive even when things aren't going your way and our recent experiences that made us question or strategy.

Most whitetail bow hunters look forward to the rut all year and dream of careless bucks cruising and chasing does. In this episode, I talk with the rest of the THP crew and we tell our best stories of crazy action we have had during the rut! Some of these stories have happy endings and some result in disappointment and an unfilled tag but every hunt we discuss was a great learning experience that hopefully helps you when you run into a crazy rut frenzy this fall!

In this episode, Keith and I talk to our new friends Mitch and Tate about their experiences growing up hunting in Minnesota. We tell a lot of stories, talk about their grandpa, who bow hunted for whitetails before anyone else in the area did it, bear hunting, wolves, and what is most important to us when it comes to hunting. One of the most enjoyable parts of traveling to hunt is meeting fellow hunters that are passionate about the outdoors so we have really enjoyed hanging out with Mitch and Tate!

If you have a mobile hunting strategy you probably have experienced the feeling of indecision when you find sign and are trying to decide if you should go further or stop and setup. In this episode, Keith and I talk about our approach when hunting a new area, the difference between scouting and still hunting, and specific examples of how getting aggressive has payed off. Topics Include: -looking for does during late October to find the bucks -how our pace changes based off of the sign we are seeing while still hunting -hunting a new area and our thoughts on hunting Minnesota so far 500K Subscriber Giveaway!

In this episode, I catch up with Beau Martonik. Beau hunts the big woods of Pennsylvania and also travels to hunt other states in big woods settings. Both Beau and I really enjoy the challenges that come with hunting big, contiguous stands of timber. We discuss bedding tendencies in big timber, what conditions may change his bedding location, historical patterns of big bucks, and how we both constantly battle with overthinking our strategy instead of being aggressive due to fear of spooking a big buck. Topics Include: -overlooked buck bedding tendencies in hill country -using historical trends to pattern big woods bucks -how overthinking your strategy can limit your success Beau's YouTube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/BeauMartonik 500K Subscriber Giveaway!

In the middle of October, for the most part, conditions are hot, deer movement is low, and big buck sightings are few and far between. In this episode, Jake, Hayden and I talk about when we like to get aggressive throughout the "October Lull." To increase our odds we try to find fresh sign and wait for specific conditions to move into bedding areas to try to intercept small moments that mature bucks are making during daylight hours. Topics Include: -how often should you hunt a spot in October -different strategies for different properties -what conditions are best for being aggressive 500K Subscriber Giveaway!

Both my Dad and I grew up and lived in Ohio for most of our lives where we learned to hunt whitetails and turkeys. We both always dreamed of one day hunting elk but we were uneducated on how to get a tag and wrote it off as something that was unrealistic for an eastern hunter. After realizing that there are many opportunities to hunt elk every season we have taken full advantage of what September has to offer. In this episode, we talk about our season and the things we have learned, what we plan to improve on next season, and at the end of the episode I tell the story of the bull that I shot with Ben and Colin this season! Topics Include: -the story of the bull Zach shot with Ben and Colin this season -being aggressive when bulls are bugling -how to time your elk hunting trip based off the rut 500K Subscriber Giveaway!

In this episode, Ben, Colin, and I talk about what we have learned when calling to elk. Like other forms of hunting we have found that calling to elk is very situational. We discuss the evolution of our calling strategy and some of the strategies that we have incorporated this season where we don't call at all. Hopefully some of the things we have learned will help you in a similar situation when moving in on a bugling bull!
