We Can Taste Deer Season Now | Farm Companion Jun 01, 2025

Show notes

It’s that time of year where the farm never slows down — drills in the ground, sprayers running, and stands getting hung one by one. We’re deep in the grind, stacking good decisions now so we’re ready when deer season hits.

In this Farm Companion, we’re working ground, putting in summer cover, dialing in fall food plots, and getting the farm cleaned up and ready to hunt. The to-do list is long, but the payoff is coming. Every seed, every screw in a stand, every lap on the tractor — it’s all for those first sits of the season.

Deer season’s not here yet, but we can feel it. And we’re getting after it.

Lock In and Nock On w/ John Dudley | HUNTR Podcast #252 May 27, 2025

Show notes

This week on the HUNTR Podcast, we sit down with John Dudley—a world-class archer, passionate bowhunter, and the founder of Nock On Archery. John’s not just a guy who can shoot lights out—he’s someone who’s built his entire life around teaching others how to be better with a bow and more intentional in the field. We dive into John’s background and how a career on the pro archery circuit evolved into a mission to help hunters shoot with purpose. He breaks down the difference between being a great archer and a great hunter, why understanding that gap matters, and how it can elevate your entire approach in the woods. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.

Fine Tuning the Illinois Farm | Farm Companion May 18, 2025

Show notes

This week on the Farm Companion, we’re locking in the plan for our next trip back to Illinois—fine-tuning every inch of the farm as spring gives way to summer. It’s all about putting in the work now that pays off when it counts. We’re getting switchgrass in the ground, planting beans, and spraying to stay ahead of the curve before it’s time to drop brassicas this fall. Every move we make is with the hunt in mind—thinking ahead, setting the table, and building a farm that hunts better every year. This is the grind that separates a decent sit from a season you remember. Thanks for riding along on this week’s Farm Companion. Fall starts now—sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.

Summer Food Plot Strategy | Farm Companion May 11, 2025

Show notes

In this episode of Farm Companion, we’re diving deep into summer food plot prep—from herbicide tactics to planting timing. We break down our approach to using pre-emergent chemicals for beans, when and why we’re spraying glyphosate, and how Roundup Ready beans and atrazine play into our weed control strategy. It's time to get beans and corn in the ground, maximize green sources, and start thinking about farm structures. Before we know it, all the off-season work will pay off and we'll be in the stand soon enough. We hope you enjoy this Farm Companion and we'll catch you next week. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.

In this episode of the HUNTR Podcast, we sit down with David Stainbrook and Andrea Korman, deer biologists with the Pennsylvania Game Commission, to talk about the science and strategy behind managing the state’s whitetail population.

If you’re a regular listener, you know we put a strong focus on state regulations and how they affect hunter opportunity.
