EP. 322: Hunting On A Sick Day | Full Draw 4 Times
Today I'm joined by my good buddy Greg Litzinger. As you guys know, Greg and I get together to chop it up about bowhunting a few times a year. We've both been separately tackling new big woods pieces for the past 2 years. Greg in NJ and me In PA. It usually will take 3 seasons to get a firm grasp on a new piece (if you're a regular working guy), especially with the challenges the big woods provide. That's what we talk about today. That, and how Greg's season played out...and some listener Q/A. - thanks for listening! To listen to the podcast click the purple play button at the top of the page.

EP. 321: Public Land Booner | Time Is Undefeated
Today I’m joined by my buddy Jace Allen. Jace was on over the summer to talk about how he builds buck quadrants to kill mature bucks. During that episode he alluded to the idea of having a season like he’s never had before in 2022. He was determined to put life on hold (or maybe just slow it down) to chase his passion, prioritize the woods, whitetails, and hunt more days from season start to season end than ever before possible. You might call this a dream season from many…but it wasn’t without it’s ups and downs. Oh…and he may have out dueled public land pressure to wrap a tag around at least one Boone & Crocket buck - thanks for listening!

Today I’m joined by Daniel Lemmon of Do It Yourself Hunter. Daniel is a Mississippi fella who has been travel hunting extensively the past 7 years and makes a habit of killing mature public land bucks with regularity. I learned of Daniel by stumbling across his self-filmed hunts on the DIY Hunter YouTube channel.

EP. 315: Out of State Public Land Hammer | Finding Any Deer Is Key
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.

EP. 314: Wants Vs Needs | Thermal Hub Buck | Nathan Killen
Today I’m joined by my good buddy Nathan Killen. Nathan consistency 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.

EP. 313: Going Back To The Well | Indiana Public Land
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! To listen to the podcast click the purple play button at the top of the page.

EP. 311: Two Tags Filled And Three Arrows
Today I'm joined by my good buddy Aaron Hepler. Aaron is one of the most dedicate 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. To listen to the podcast click the purple play button at the top of the page.

EP. 310: How to Find a Buck With The Season Winding Down | Jake Bush
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!

EP. 308: Patterning Scrape Dates For Big Bucks
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!

EP. 297: Stick Bow State Record | Arkansas Giant
Today I'm joined by Johnathan Moreland from Arkansas. Johnathan is a die hard traditional bowhunter who has put some hammers on his wall...from public, to permission pieces, to private, he is a woodsman thru and thru. His quest for a stick-bow state record was something of a once in a life-time experience (and maybe took years off his life)...the proof is in the video! And what sealed that deers fate, was observing him go back to his bed. Then, to up the stakes the following year, he kills a hammer with a self bow (that he made himself...naturally).

EP. 289: Hard Access Equals Big Bucks | Kentucky & Indiana Hammers
Today on the podcast I’m joined by Jacob Emery. Jacob’s from Kentucky and has a no nonsense refreshing approach to hunting. He broke a 3 year drought in style with two public land hammers…one in Kentucky and one In Indiana. Both relied on hunting hard to reach areas that required water access. Even still…the water access wasn’t a nice Sunday paddle. Most wouldn’t even go into to hunt these areas. As the work to get a deer out required transferring deer to boat, from boat to ground, move boat around log jam, drag buck back to boat…reload buck in boat…and continue paddling.

Today on the podcast I’m joined by Justin Hollandsworth. Justin is a legit big buck killer from Ohio. His consistency of taking a target buck and surgically removing him from the landscape is second to few. What I like most about Justin's approach is his lifelong commitment to continue learning the craft of bowhunting.

EP. 277: Hunting Mature Bucks & Assuming I'm Always Wrong | Joe Rentmeester
Today on the podcast I’m joined by my Joe Rentmeester. Many of you probably know Joe from the Hunting Beast or the Hunting Public's Public Land Challenge. Joe is one of those guys who seems to have a habit of finding, and killing mature deer...even in hard to hunt places. More than that, what I appreciate most is his insatiable need to continue learning...and questioning every piece of sign or intel he sees. I think his approach to assume his assumptions are incorrect until proven otherwise is why he's so successful. He's never closed off from new possibilities...or afraid to be wrong. This approach often end with a mature buck on the ground and a new mount on the wall for Joe. I really dug this conversation and hope you do too - thanks for listening!

Today however, we are talking about the new turkey vest they recently launched along with their Equinox Guard gear. If avoiding ticks and mosquitos while you hunt is something that interests you...then these new Equinox Guard pieces are gong to be right up your alley. Personally I hunt a lot of swampy/buggy areas...and am good for a handful of tick bites a year even if I spray down. Ticks are my least favorite part of spring or early fall hunting...or summer scouting. I'm personally always a little nervous about getting a tick related illness. I really enjoyed the conversation, and think it's pretty rad that Sitka is making the effort to provide hunters some protection from ticks and related illnesses by building solutions into their gear.
