193 NICK PERCY - Killer Spring Food Plots, Reap What You Sow Apr 01, 2017

Show notes

Nick Percy is joining us once again, but this time with a different take on food plots. The last time that we spoke with Nick was in June 2016 found here: www.BigBuckRegistry.com/killerfoodplots , when our focus was on food plots for the fall. Now, as the snow melts away in the Northern Zone, we learn from Nick that there are several kinds of seeds that we can throw atop frost ridden soils and let mother nature take over by working the seeds into the soil naturally. There's a point to this. As deer come out of their food scare winter habitats (especially in the northern United States), having a rich crop of green protein and nutrients will get the herd back into shape quickly as the rest of the world follows suit down in the weeks to come. But, there are soil considerations to consider too, like ph, soil temps, and minerals. Nick takes us through his bag of tricks for early spring food plot preparation.

192 WAYNE BOLTON - The Shed Hunting Fool Mar 25, 2017

Show notes

Wayne Bolton walks miles. We suggested that he try out a FitBit, just to keep track. As the "Shed Hunting Fool", over the last 20 something years, Wayne has spent almost every hour he had available from around mid-January to mid-April hunting for every antler he could locate. We estimate that this would be the equivalent of a second full time job and a second part time job if anyone is counting. But that effort pays off. It's not uncommon for Wayne for find 50+ sheds a season (down from 100+ when the competition wasn't so great) and because he spends most of his shed hunting time in southwestern Ohio, he's finding some of nature's greatest sheds in America. We were curious about how Wayne goes about this craft, how it relates to deer hunting, and how we could learn from his techniques and apply them anywhere in the country. Oh, and stick around for Wayne's deer hunting story about a buck named Curley. It's a good one.

191 MATT LIGHT - Football, Bowhunting, Treestand Therapy, The School of Belichick Mar 18, 2017

Show notes

Growing up in Ohio and working for different farms and construction companies, Matt Light learned what hard honest work was like. On the football field, he found a home where strength met aggression and technique. In the hunting woods, he found an appreciation and passion for the outdoors where focus on technique mattered just as much as it did on the football field. Matt paid little attention to football outside of his hometown high school team, but college football recruiters were paying attention to him. He played a full collegiate career at Purdue along side Drew Brees and soon found himself playing along side Tom Brady for the New England Patriots from 2001 to 2012. Matt says that football taught him many lessons in life, but so has hunting where he says sometimes you just have one of those days where everything goes your way. Today, after spending 11 years in the NFL, he has set his sights on raising money for the Matt Light Foundation (www.MattLight72.com) where he hopes to help the slightly misguided youth towards a life of success and leadership through connections with the outdoors. Oh, and Matt hunts now more than ever. As you might imagine, playing under Coach Bill Belichick for 11 years might have interrupted a deer season or two, so he's making up for lost time.

190 DAN INFALT - Buck Beds, Swamps, Closing Time Bucks, Hunt Where They Don't Mar 11, 2017

Show notes

Maybe's it's revenge from when Dan Infalt was charged by a buck at age 9, or maybe it's just that Dan's strategizes a deer hunt more than most. Whatever it is, Dan Infalt is one heck of a good deer hunter. Dan begins a hunt with maps, not just to determine where the big bucks bed, but to determine where everyone else hunts, so that he doesn't. Dan loves to hunt buck beds that are surrounded by water where other hunters and most predators (except for Dan) won't travel. He also enjoys a good game of cat and mouse, scouting during the season, backtracking on buck sightings, and feels that one of his key ingredients to killing big bucks is his ability to keep the swamp monsters guessing by rarely hunting the same set twice. Dan reveals many of his tips and tricks in this show. And just in case you have more questions, we've set up a special session with Dan on Faceook LIVE on our Facebook page on Thursday at 6pm. www.facebook.com/bigbuckregistry

189 LAURA ZERRA - Survivalist. Persistence Hunter. Naked and Afraid Mar 04, 2017

Show notes

Picture if you can traveling to a remote area, being stripped of all your clothing, meeting a complete stranger (also naked), and being left to fend for yourselves in the raw elements of the forest or jungle. Could you do it? This is a real scenario for Laura Zerra, one of the original cast members of the Discovery Channel's Naked and Afraid. We first met Laura at a dinner table in Las Vegas and turns out there's much more to Laura than being a reality television star. As you might suspect Laura is full of life. She is a survivalist and a hunter. In this episode we learn quite a bit about the elements of survival, tips on surviving in the wilderness, sleeping in coyote dens, what tarantulas taste like, and how to learn from the animals you hunt, and why Laura developed a style of hunting called persistence hunting.

188 JASON OBERMILLER & ERIC FITZGERALD - What are My Deer Missing? Deer Biology, Agronomy, Rackology Feb 25, 2017

Show notes

Agronomy is a noun. It means the science of soil management and crop production. Biology is a natural science concerned with the study of life and living organisms, including their structure, function, growth, evolution, distribution, identification and taxonomy. When an agronomist and a biologist get together to think up what deer really need to survive and flourish, look out, the brain waves might be radioactive. Stand too close and you will learn lots about proper whitetail nutrition. Jason Obermiller, a teacher and taxidermist with a Master's Degree in Biology, and Eric Fitzgerald, a full time agronomist, teamed up to develop what might be the deer supplement industry's most thought out, most well designed deer supplement on the market today. Jason's thesis in college focused on a new way quickly age younger deer and soon after focused further studies on deer supplements currently on the market. Jason can also tell you plenty about the health of a whitetail based on the feel of a antler (he's examined many as a taxidermist). Eric can read a soil report and tell you exactly what you need to make crops grow to their fullest potential. Jason and Eric dive deep in this show explore many aspects of what a whitetail needs for complete nourishment in a herd and explain what you can and shouldn't do to help the overall health of the deer in your specific area.

187 BARRY WENSEL - Whitetail Bootcamp, Understanding Deer Movement & Terrain Feb 18, 2017

Show notes

Barry Wensel says two heads are better than one. What he's referring to is the ability to learn the woods and understand deer hunting scenarios from the perspective of two woodsman instead of soley relying on his own perspective. The other woodsman he's referring to is his brother Gene. Barry and Gene Wensel are regarded by even the best deer hunters as whitetail deer hunting royalty. And, arguably, they might just be the best pure all-around deer hunters on the planet. Barry spends much of his time in the woods studying and learning the terrain and how deer move through areas and will make micro adjustments at his treestand setups to turn a 25 yard shot into a 15 yard shot. Barry has also been known to travel several hundred yards out of his way, just to approach his treestand correctly, and undetected. This show is loaded with tips and strategies, and although it pushes the 2 hour mark, it will feel like ten minutes. Notepad required.

186 CHUCK TESTA - Taxidermy, Liberals, Mounted, and Nope! Feb 11, 2017

Show notes

A gun loving taxidermist living Ojai, California naturally finds himself surrounded by anti-gun anti-hunting liberals. It makes Chuck Testa's life more interesting and says he's lost lots of friends. But Chuck doesn't take life too seriously (unless you're talking about his taxidermy work - he's all business there) and says we all are better off when we can make fun of ourselves. We don't disagree. Chuck also says that "Nope!" is a zen-like state of mind. Chuck has become a symbol and icon of our YouTube culture where Chuck was the centerpiece of a commercial created by famous YouTubers Rhett and Link. Chuck unintentionally found fame when that same commercial hit the YouTube circuit where it has been downloaded over 17 million times. Chuck is hardcore when it comes to his taxidermy work and business but his sense of humor and seemingly dry-toast personality makes watching Chuck's life entertaining. And now Chuck has his own television show called Mounted on Carbon TV. We talk with Chuck about his beginnings, his viral video fame, his taxidermy, and his television show in this episode.

185 DAVE GRAHAM and JAKE HUFF - Huff Land Company, Buying Your Piece of Whitetail Heaven Feb 04, 2017

Show notes

Every hunter has thought about owning their own hunting property at one phase of their hunting life or another. Whether it turns into realty is another story. Sometimes it's a financial obstacle, sometimes, something else. What's fascinating is that we often overlook the income potential of owning a piece of whitetail heaven. As Dave Graham, a real estate agent from Iowa, and Jake Huff, owner and real estate broker at the Huff Land Company, will reveal in this episode, there's lot to consider when buying a property where the big bucks roam. Is it a fair price? Can it be financed? What about timber value? Is there cash flow potential for row crops? Jake and Dave touch on all these subjects and much much more. Grab a pen and a notebook. We have lots to talk about.

Show notes

Dr Dave Samuel spent a 30 year career as a wildlife management professor at West Virginia University. Dr Dave said that he truly enjoyed his work there and loved new interns because he always had another deer study ready to go. However, Dave's journey goes well beyond a life of academia. Dave is an accomplished writer and journalist for Bowhunter Magazine, Whitetail Journal, and Bowhunting.net. He's also won several lifetime achievement awards from the National Bowhunter Education Foundation, QDMA, and Whitetails Unlimited. He's also been inducted into the Bowhunter and Archery Hall's of Fame. Not too shabby a resume. Oh, and did we mention that he's one heck of a good deer hunter? It probably goes without saying. Dave struggles a bit with the physical aspects of deer hunting these days after suffering from a surgery gone bad where a surgeon accidentally severed the nerve to his diaphragm. But that doesn't stop Dave. He still goes hunting. We touch on several different topics in this episode and dig deep into Dave's strategies for killing big whitetail with a bow and arrow.
