Antler Up - Expectations vs Reality w/ Cam Derr Jan 25, 2023

Show notes

Hey everyone, welcome to episode 157 of the Antler Up Podcast!

On this week's episode Dimitri and I were joined by Cam Derr from Exodus Outdoor Gear. Cam also is host of The Deer Gear Podcast and can be found on a ton of Exodus’s YouTube videos. For this episode Cam talks about his expectations vs reality for this past hunting season with some amazing storytelling. We had Cam on the show back in the spring when he had high hopes of pulling an Iowa tag and filling his ND tag for the second year in a row. Well, as it turns out Cam pulled that Iowa tag, filled it and filled his ND tag on his biggest deer to date in velvet.

Hear how even success brings challenges and how persevering leads to his success. From struggling with shooting his bow, Cam was able to gain the confidence back and get the job done. For the ND hunt, Cam shares what he needs to see from the field in order to go after a deer and how that totally changes when he goes to Iowa. For just shy of two weeks, Cam’s Iowa story had me in total awe. It is something that I believe every whitetail hunter dreams about one day when they have the chance to hunt Iowa and from this story it did not disappoint. Cam wanted a specific experience, and Cam got it.

Exodus Outdoor Gear just released a brand new Rival cellular camera and they will be at the GAOS in Harrisburg in two weeks. Get there early to snag one if you are interested and Cam also shares what he will be doing himself with some arrows at the show!

Thanks again for all the support and best of luck out there and Antler Up!

Show notes

On this episode of The Western Rookie Dan talks with Kyle Davidson, a rocket scientist in his own right with a passion for all things archery.

When he started working with a buddy he discovered archery and was hooked from the first shot. After being unsatisfied with his arrow setup he started diving into the physics behind arrow flight and that led him to his true passion, building custom arrows with peak performance.

Oklahoma Outdoors - Habitat and more with Whitetail Fanatic Land Consultants Jan 23, 2023

Show notes

As deer season comes to an end, it's time to switch gears into habitat mode. Charles Greer with Whitetail Fanatic Land Consulting gets things going this week on the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast with a great conversation about how to improve the land you hunt on. Charles has hunted whitetails from Maryland to Texas, but now spends most of his time in Oklahoma. Charles's knowledge quickly becomes evident in this episode as he and John cover a wide variety of topics, all centered around improving the landscape for better hunting.

The guys start off by defining "bedding cover" which is a term that is often thrown around in the whitetail world. They also discuss timber stand improvement (TSI), foodplots vs feeders, how deer use the wind, the different uses for timber, and the statewide issue of eastern red cedar. Charles really impressed John with his knowledge, and there is certainly something in this episode for everyone!
