How to Hunt Deer - Recovering Deer with a Drone?! w/ Mike Yoder of Drone Deer Recovery Dec 15, 2022

Show notes

If you've ever made a bad shot on a deer, or worse, wounded and lost a deer completely, you know you'd likely give anything in that moment to know what happened to the deer. If this hasn't happened to you yet, keep hunting, it eventually will. Blood trails dry up. Weather conditions might make blood trailing impossible. In these moments, hunters have a few options. They can grid search the area, which blows the area out and risks bumping a wounded deer. They can call in a dog, which can be hit or miss and again risks spooking the deer. Or, they can call in a drone. Wait, what?!

In this episode of the How to Hunt Deer Podcast, Josh talks with Mike Yoder of Drone Deer Recovery about recovering wounded deer with the help of a drone. Mike is blazing a trail in a totally new, controversial, but certainly effective new realm of deer recovery. In this episode, Josh and Mike discuss the ethics of using a drone, how he got into this, and what Mike has learned about how wounded deer act. Whether you think recovering wounded deer with drones is the best thing since sliced bread or believe it should be outlawed, give this episode a listen to learn what it's all about.

DIY Sportsman - String Jumping and Arrow speed, Ranch Fairy and Darrel Barnette Dec 15, 2022

Show notes

On today's episode of the DIY Sportsman podcast, Garrett sits down with Troy Fowler (aka the Ranch Fairy) and Darrel Barnette, who some of you may have also seen on either the Ranch Fairy channel or watching the Hunting Public. Garrett put together a string jump timeframe dataset corresponding to arrow speed and time of flight for discussion. The data was derived entirely on video footage Garrett had from deer shot at inside of 30 yards, but mostly inside of 20. Much of the string jumping debate seems to revolve around longer shots and whether or not speed is irrelevant compared to how fast deer can react. But rarely do you hear people talk about the relationship for close range shots. The group discusses that topic and also some of the longer range unknowns. There's not really any agenda pushing in this episode. It's just open dialogue discussing a data set, how it might apply to your own decision making, what limitations are there, and what type of additional questions we still have and data we'd like to collect and analyze to continue to learn.

To go along with the tactic side of late season hunting, we discussed a few must-have pieces of gear when heading out during this time as well.

Be sure to check Brandon and the crew of The Everyday Outdoorsmen out on YouTube! They put out great videos, really relatable guys and fun to watch do their thing in the woods. For myself I ended up getting sick towards the end of the week and I was able to get out on Saturday and was able to fill a doe tag here in PA! Finally! With the season beginning to wrap up in PA and other states, let us know what kind of episodes you are interested in hearing and if you had success this past year hit us up and come on the show to share your story!

Missouri Woods & Water - Tales of the Chase: Jake Kaullen Brings Down A Ghost Monster Buck Dec 13, 2022

Show notes

This week on the Missouri Woods & Water podcast Nate & Andy get to talk with fellow Missourian Jake Kaullen about a 200+ inch deer he was able to punch his tag with this year. Jake would have never even known this deer existed if he hadn't have just went hunting one time last season. With no previous trail cam pictures of him and no one knowing of him, this deer was basically a ghost on the farm he hunts. This season was more of the same. Jake couldn't get confirmation of his existence until he was able to get one passing by series of pics on a trail cam he had placed. Then the hunt was on and the rest was history. Congratulations to Jake on a once in a lifetime deer. This story is proof that the saying is true....."just go hunting" because nothing is going to happen if you don't. Enjoy the show!

Show notes

Deer season is winding down for many if not most, and it's time to sit back and reflect on our season. Did you get the buck you were after? Did you see the deer numbers you thought you should be seeing? Did the deer use your property in predictable ways? Were you able to access your hunting locations without bumping deer? All of these questions may reveal that our season could have been better from a deer hunting perspective. So what if you're unhappy with how your season went? If that's you, it just might be time for a hunting property tune-up.

In this episode of the Wisconsin Sportsman Podcast, Josh talks with Sam Bilhorn of Whitetail Partners about evaluating your hunting property and when it might be time to call in a consultant. Sam has year of experience with on-site whitetail hunting property consultation and provides top-tier habitat and hunting plans to his clients.

Whether you just bought a new property, lease ground that you can manipulate, or have hunted the same 40 acres for decades, Sam can help take your deer hunting to the next level. Tune in to hear how Sam evaluates his hunting season, how he scouts his property once the season is over, and how he designs hunting properties to provide excellent hunting for his clients.
