Do you REALLY need trail cams to HARVEST a big buck? | Surveillance camera HUNTING W. Kyle Allen Dec 15, 2025

Show notes

On this episode of Hunt The Season, I sat down to chat with Kyle Allen out of Ohio who is also a Big woods Pennsylvania hunter. We talk about how his season went with harvesting a beautiful Ohio buck on his own property in the early season and being able to have his son there to help with the recovery. To then being able to connect a public land Pennsylvania 10 point in the mountains!

We then dive into the really big topic we wanted to talk about, trail cameras, primarily cell cameras and how we have seen them all over the woods and how we feel like we are being watched with every step we take.

This is a very opinionated based episode about trail cameras, if you can not handle this type of conversation then I would recommend tunning in next week to another episode.

Thank you for listening and the support!

Hunting Pressured Whitetails | How to beat the Hunting Pressure W. Nick Queen Dec 08, 2025

Show notes

In this episode of the Hunt The Season Podcast, pressured-whitetail, Nick Queen breaks down advanced public-land tactics that put mature bucks on the ground—even in the heaviest hunting pressure. Recorded during Pennsylvania’s rifle season, Nick contrasts PA pressure with Illinois’ unique gun/tag system and explains how he adapts to crowded woods, shifting deer movement, and “educated” bucks that refuse to leave their core area.

Nick shares the full story of a giant ten-pointer he chased all season, including close calls, mistakes, thermal tricks on a heated lake, unconventional access routes, and the rmoment he learned the buck was finally killed on adjacent private land. From navigating public-land pressure to understanding bedding logic, parallel trails, faint sign, and “creative entry,” Nick gives real-world deer hunting advice—not generic top-five lists.

If you want deeper insight into public land bowhunting, rut tactics, high-pressure whitetails, big buck behavior, and how to outsmart mature deer when everyone else is in the woods, this episode is packed with strategy hunters can apply immediately.

How Aggressive Hunting Tactics and In-Season Scouting Beat a Brutal, Slow Rut | W. Ryan Glitsky Nov 24, 2025

Show notes

Ryan Glitsky joins the Hunt The Season Podcast to break down how aggressive hunting tactics, in-season scouting, and camera intel helped him tag a buck during one of the slowest, most brutal rut seasons in Pennsylvania. With deer movement low and pressure rising fast heading into rifle season, Ryan explains how focusing on thick cover, food sources, and real-time sign led to success when most hunters were struggling. He also shares the mental grind of the slow rut, an ethical shot-recovery challenge, and practical strategies rifle and archery hunters can use to find bucks in tough conditions.

Hunting a 200-Inch Giant on a Small Parcel | The 4-Year Pursuit w/ Hank Gibson Nov 17, 2025

Show notes

In this episode of the Hunt The Season Podcast, I sits down with Ohio whitetail hunter Hank Gibson for a deep, honest conversation about the changing landscape of deer hunting. The discussion opens with how modern hunting tactics have become saturated, the resourcefulness of Amish hunters, and why the long-standing tradition of “deer camp” is fading—largely due to social media pressure on young hunters to chase only big bucks.

Hank introduces himself and breaks down his passion for mobile hunting with Lone Wolf Custom Gear, sharing the real-world challenges of understanding thermals and adapting on the fly.

He walks through the multi-year pursuit of his 200-inch giant, Big Daddy, revealing a strategy built on patience, failure, and pushing beyond his comfort zone.

The conversation also tackles the controversy surrounding Lone Wolf within the hunting industry, how hunters can avoid relying too heavily on trail cameras, and why spending more time in the woods—and embracing mistakes—is still the best way to grow as a hunter.

Whether you’re a new bowhunter or a seasoned whitetail addict, this episode delivers practical insights, honest perspectives, and motivation to get mobile, think differently, and hunt harder.
