He discusses what time of year he has been successful in the past and how he has reshaped his hunting to be productive all season long. Andy discusses his idea of continuous improvement and how he is not a fan of blind success. Andy discusses the keys to success in early October and why he chooses to hunt outside of his home state of Michigan.

Andy breaks down his early season tactics and why private land can be tougher than public land in the areas he hunts. Andy explains when deer sign matters and how to dial in on deer sign when it counts. Andy discusses how trail cameras can be both a positive and negative and why he prefers not to use cameras when hunting in the areas he prefers. Andy explains key locations he dials in on during the rut and why he picks these specific areas to kill mature bucks. He explains his weekend hunting tactics and why he is so aggressive on the deer he goes after. Andy ends with a story of a difficult hunt in a hard to access area that will get you thinking more about pushing the limits in your hunting areas.

Oklahoma Outdoors - Opening Day Success on a Small Parcel Oct 10, 2022

Show notes

We are off and running this deer season! This week on the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast we are joined by successful bowhunter Jesse Edwards who tagged a slammer of a buck on Opening day. This is one of those episodes that is both entertaining and educational. Jesse picked up a 50 acre property part way through the 2021 deer season, and quickly found that this little piece had a lot to offer. Jesse spent all off season prepping his lease for this particular buck, and all that hard work paid off on opening day of the 2022 archery season. Not only do Jesse and John relive the hunt, but also the months of work and preparation that went into a single hunt that ended with Jesse bagging the buck of a lifetime!

Michigan Wild - Early Season Recap Oct 10, 2022

Show notes

This week on the Michigan Wild Podcast, Marcus is riding solo to recap his early season whitetail hunts. He talks about the property that he is hunting, how long he's been hunting it and what his first two sits have yielded. Marcus gives a brief history on his success on the property in previous years along with some moves he's made this year that he doesn't typically condone. The early season can be some of the best times to hunt during the year if you're lucky enough to still catch deer in some summer patterns, or it can just be the early stages of a long drawn out season. Either way, getting back into the woods is always a good thing and continuing to increase your knowledge of whitetail and their movements helps. There's a lot of season ahead, so keep grinding wherever you're at!

Pennsylvania Woodsman - Bowhunting B.S. Session w/ Dan Johnson Oct 07, 2022

Show notes

This week on the Pennsylvania Woodsman we chat with the boss man himself, the man behind Sportsmen's Empire, Mr. Dan Johnson. We converse over our current life routine including family life with children and slowly lead into hunting season. Dan discusses the recent changes in hunting properties he is experiencing from losing one of his main properties and having to pull his gear off the land without getting shot at! Dan talks about his pursuit in finding a shooter around his home in Iowa, but also shares his philosophy when it comes to out of state hunts.

In recent years there has been an excellent push to get people outdoors and enjoy deer hunting on public land. However, there is still an overwhelming amount of "deer shaming", pressuring people that they have to shoot the absolute biggest buck, as if they are inferior if they do not. Dan compares his philosophy of targeting mature bucks close to home versus shooting something on an out of state trip that just makes him happy. How does a guy from Iowa relate to people in Pennsylvania and the Northeast? Dan is an individual that does what he wants without the influence of what other people think. Most importantly, he flat out loves bowhunting. There is a ton of philosophy and a touch of strategy in this week's episode!

Later in the episode the two talk about their experience with headlamps and hand warmers, and the different varieties that they come in. Although these products are not sexy or often talked about, take them out of your pack and try hunting without them. Enjoy!
