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 buck's 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.

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.

Everything from shed dogs, tracking dogs, gun dogs, and general obedience. Beyond finding sheds, my dog Rocky has helped me become a better deer hunter.

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!

Every year I go back and revisit episodes that I found to be extremely valuable…as a way to brush up on things I may have forgotten.

Today on the podcast I'm joined by my buddy Jesse Coots. Jesse is an extremely successful DIY bowhunter from New York. His approach is common sense but with an ability to execute in any terrain. He’s truly a freestyle hunter, adapting to the circumstance of each hunt…at times within the hunt. You’ll be hard pressed to find a better DIY bowhunter anywhere in the country.

Today on the podcast I'm joined by my good buddy Johnny Stewart. Johnny is one of the best hunters I personally know. He’s also one of the few people I know who actually enjoys hunting late season.

Today on the podcast I'm joined by my Paul Putera. Paul is one of those public land hunters I like to refer to as quiet killers. We all know a few of these guys. They fly under the radar when people think of some of the best hunters around the country. They're often in our own backyards, hunting highly pressured land, and just kill top end/mature deer for the areas they hunt...and do it consistently. Paul is one of those guys.

Today on the podcast I'm joined by my buddy Aaron Hepler. Aaron scouts more than most people I know, and it shows in the number of quality encounters he has. This year he had intel on a good buck, but it was in an area that sees a lot of pressure...even during archery season. Aaron was able to find where deer, and this buck in particular, wanted to spend time in daylight once the pressure moved them out of their early season hangouts. Not being deterred by the hunting pressure, and being smarter than the average hunter led to a killer hunt. I'll let Aaron tell the story. Hope you dig the episode - thanks for listening!

Today on the podcast I'm joined by my buddy Troy Pottenger. I'm sure many of you are aware of Troy and his ability to chase down the oldest and biggest mountain bucks. The incredible part of his success is he's doing it in Idaho, a place not known for whitetails, and is competing against North America's apex predators for the same deer. Community scrapes, along with bedding, is a go-to-strategy he uses. But a community scrape isn't always in a place that's huntable based on access or wind. So Troy has created an approach to building not just mock scrapes, but mock community scrapes....and well...the results speak for themself. Hope you dig the episode and thanks for listening!

Today on the podcast I'm joined by Matt Morett and Dave Mitchell from the Pennsylvania Game Commission. Lot's has changed the past few years in Pennsylvania in an effort to both make the hunting better and provide more opportunities for hunters to be in the field. Game management governing bodies often take more flack than they should, regardless of the state. At the end of the day, the folks charged with the daunting task of managing something as fluid as wildlife and habitat are hunters at their core. And there goal is to leave it better than they found it. Today's guests are two fellas who I feel are equal to that task. To listen to the podcast click the orange play button at the top of the page.
