What Happens After You Shoot a 200" Typical
The Controversies of the Score
What He's Learned

From Jason: "On top of being the biggest buck I’ve ever killed, the typical 12-point could be a new Ohio record. It has a 22 ½-inch inside spread, 26- and 29-inch mainbeams, and tines pushing 14 inches. Scorers with Buckmasters Whitetail Trophy Records gave it a green score of 208 5/8, which makes it the new No. 1 in Buckmasters’ Perfect category for all weapons. A panel of Boone and Crockett scorers plan on measuring the buck in late December after the 60 day drying period, and if that score holds, it would be a new state record, according to B&C. It would also go down as the No. 3 all-time typical whitetail in the B&C record book."

What crop produces the most B&C whitetail bucks?
Fertizler for healthier bucks

"It's easy to look at someone else's success with skepticism and assume that you know why or how that individual succeeded, especially in today's world where everyone with a smartphone is an "expert". It's also easy to assume that someone more successful than you had some sort of edge or advantage, which is directly related to their success. In my case, that edge was a wild desire to prove that mature bucks could be harvested in an area where no one else was consistently tagging quality deer. My main advantage was that I was unwilling to accept things as they were." - Thomas Mlsna

#327 - Over 50 Years of Bow Hunting! What John Eberhardt Has Learned & Post Season Scouting! Jan 17, 2024

John is a self-taught hunter and considers that one of the main reasons he does things outside the norm. He attributes his success on the very fact that he wasn’t mentored by relatives or friends on old school hunting methods. He learned through trial and error, and due to his serious nature, desire to succeed, and attention to detail, through the years, he’s developed tactics and strategies that have equated to consistent success on mature bucks in heavily pressured areas.

John became aware many years ago that the generic hunting methods and techniques written in hunting articles, books, and shown on TV and in videos just didn’t work in heavily pressured areas and decided to do something about it to help other average Joe hunters like himself be successful.

#298 - How Steve Sherk Uses Summertime Trail Camera Data to Kill a Big Woods Buck Every Fall! Jul 25, 2023

In today's episode, we have a familiar face back in the office, Steve Sherk from Sherk's Guide Service. Steve spends more time in the woods in one year than most hunters do in 10 years. Steve runs over 250 trail cameras in the Pennsylvania big woods every season has has learned a few things about summertime buck movement and how it coorelates to hunting season movement. We discuss:

Late summer excursions by bucks provide insights into their fall range and food sources.
Cutting tracks in conjunction with camera footage can help identify specific deer locations.
Move around and shift camera positions to keep up with changing browse patterns.
Stay updated on changes in habitat and browse sources, especially in public land areas that are constantly evolving.
Lack of moisture can result in lower quality browse and affect the production of fall food sources.
Be aware of the feeding patterns and the one-time opportunity to eat certain plants.
Monitor antler growth and look for clues in weather patterns, such as increased moisture, which can spur growth.
Factors like precipitation and weather conditions can influence antler growth in deer.
Video mode on trail cameras offers more information than photo mode.
Maintaining trail cameras during the summer is crucial to ensure they are not obscured by vegetation and remain functional.
Monitoring food sources, like acorns and apple crops, can help predict deer movement during hunting season.
Spend time glassing young clear cuts, as they can provide excellent food sources and attract deer.

#297 - Do This NOW To Tag Your Target Buck This Fall - Steve Pinkston Jul 18, 2023

In today's episode of The Exodus Podcast, we are back in the studio with Steve Pinnkston. We talk about the advantages of using e-bikes for hunting, highlighting their time-saving benefits and reduced environmental impact. Another episode delves into the mindset of a seasoned hunter during the rut, emphasizing the importance of being unbothered by getting busted and focusing on one deer at a time. Additionally, Steve discusses the significance of summer scouting for fall hunting success, as well as the changing tactics required for hunting due to shifts in deer behavior. We Discuss:

Using an e-bike saves time, reduces scent, and allows quicker access to hunting spots.
E-bikes have gained popularity in the past five years and have become essential for whitetail hunting.
Using e-bikes allows hunters to access their hunting spots faster and with less physical exertion.
E-bikes provide a lower impact compared to UTVs or ATVs, making them an ideal choice for stealthy hunting.
Getting out of a hunting location without disturbing the deer is crucial.
Preparing hunting areas and finding the right trees for stands in advance.
The effectiveness of trail cameras is limited compared to firsthand observation.
Summer scouting in out-of-state trips follows a similar process, but access and crowded areas require additional strategy.
Having access to multiple small parcels increases the chances of finding a buck worth hunting.
Studying individual deer, even if they're not the target, provides valuable insights for future hunts.
Getting busted in the summer doesn't impact hunting success in October or November.
The early season is an extension of the summer pattern and offers great hunting opportunities.
The value of a spotting scope
Balancing the risks of being detected by does with the reward of hunting the targeted buck.
Cameras are essential for monitoring transition areas and learning deer movement patterns.

#296 - Is EHD Going To Wipe Out Your Deer Heard This Summer? with Skip Sligh Jul 11, 2023

In today's episode of The Exodus Podcast, we are back in Iowa with Skip Sligh. We talk about various topics related to deer farm management, the importance of supplemental feeding during droughts, abundance of browse and forage, nutrition value of stump growth, and proper timber management. The impact of EHD and Blue Tongue on deer populations, including the transmission and role of cattle in their prevalence, is also discussed. Additionally, the controversial issue of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) is addressed, with emphasis on critically analyzing expert opinions and understanding its prevalence in the soil and transmission by various animals. We discuss:

EHD is a deadly virus transmitted by midges, causing hemorrhaging in deer
Dry conditions can increase the likelihood of EHD outbreaks, but they can also occur in wet years with fluctuating water levels
EHD outbreaks are not solely dependent on weather conditions
The potential extinction of whitetail deer due to CWD could have significant economic and ecological consequences
In 2019, Iowa experienced a significant outbreak of a new strain of EHD, resulting in high deer mortality in certain areas
Cattle can introduce new strains of EHD, with infected midges transmitting the disease to deer
Healthy deer with a nutritious diet tend to have a better chance of surviving EHD
Analyzing and critically thinking about the information on CWD is important
Killing off all the deer won't solve the problem if there is no cure or natural immunity.
Stump growth in trees is highly nutritious and contributes to the deer's overall health
Overdoing projects and pressuring the farm can do more harm than good
Summer pressure on mature bucks can still have a significant impact and should be minimized
Staying out of hunting areas during the summer and focusing on core projects set you up for success in the fall

In today's episode of The Exodus Podcast, we are coming to you from the Total Archery Challange in Michigan with Co-Host of the Habitat Podcast Jared Van Hess. We chat about tips for attracting deer, dealing with drought, and improvements for the upcoming hunting season in Michigan.

Aggressive tillage can increase susceptibility to drought
Protecting soil can make food plots more drought tolerant
Plant trees and water them once every two weeks, using gravity-fed watering systems
Water holes should be located in cover to attract deer and provide a natural path
A failed food plot can be retried, get some sort of cover on the soil, or wait for the fall
During June and July, focus on water holes, mock scrapes, and getting cameras ready
Landownership is often demonized, but it is a rewarding experience and a legacy for families
Water holes are underrated and important for wildlife survival during drought conditions
Tucking water hole in the edge where it is surrounded by brush on three sides to limit access
Land ownership can provide a legacy for future generations to enjoy

#292 - What You Need To Know Planning for Out-of-State Hunts with Beau Martonik and Johnny Stewart Jun 13, 2023

On today's episode of the Exodus Podcast, Cameron chats with Beau Marton and Johnny Stewart at the Seven Springs Total Archery Challange about their different styles when it comes to planning for out-of-state hunts. They discuss strategies for finding safe zones for mature deer, including identifying areas with vegetation diversity and studying the terrain, tips for planning and scouting, emphasizing the importance of taking multiple years to get to know a state, and the importance of relying on reliable intel rather than emotions when making decisions while hunting. We discuss:

Identify your hunting goals before picking a state to hunt in
Plan on hunting a state for at least three years to get to know it
It takes time to plan and hunt in a new area
E-scouting is important, but useless if you dont put boots on the ground
Mature deer live in places where they feel safe, which may not be the most obvious areas.
Study the terrain to better understand how the deer will move
For early season hunting, a four-day plan is sufficient
Boots on the ground scouting and camera placement can help find these safe zones.
Hunting pressure can push mature bucks to seek safer areas.
Be optimistic and don't let missed opportunities bring you down
Focusing on states closer to home and with high deer densities to maximize his hunting time
Hunting in safe zones requires understanding deer patterns and tendencies
Trail cameras can help identify deer behavior and patterns.
Evaluating pros and cons of a hunting spot can reveal the need to move
Scouting and taking notes, as well as using trail cameras, can help with future hunts
Taking the emotion out of a situation can help make better decisions

And so much more!

#291 - Do Mature Bucks Remember What You Smell Like? The Anatomy Of A Deers Nose and Summertime Scouting with Clint McCoy Jun 06, 2023

On today's episode of the Exodus Podcast, Jake sits down with vetinarian and avid deer hunter Clint McCoy. Clint shares tips on summer scouting and the importance of scent control in deer hunting. He discusses the anatomy of a deer's nose and how they recall smells, common deer hunting myths and misconceptions and creating entry and access routes, and self-filming in the deer hunting world. We discuss:

Deer can and do learn for their lifetime, making them harder to kill the more scents they have in their memory
The Proust phenomenon in deer causes them to have instant involuntary recall of scents tied to memory and learning
The Proust phenomenon is an instantaneous and non-voluntary flashback that usually triggers an "oh shit" moment for the deer
Bucks are less likely to be able to pick up scent trails in hot and dry weather
Keep boots and clothing as natural and clean as possible to avoid leaving a scent signature
Summer scouting is critical for success in the whitetail woods
Summer soak cameras should be placed on interior hub scrapes, transition trails, and potential bedding sites
Catalog an inventory list of target bucks for the upcoming season
Don't rely solely on soybean fields for food sources
Browse species in the area should be prioritized when scouting for food sources
Diversify your buck target list to avoid putting all your eggs in one basket
Access is critical to pre-hung setups

#288 - 8 Years Of Exodus! Reflecting on the Last 8 Years of Exodus and Our Anniversary Sale! May 16, 2023

Exodus is celebrating its 8-year anniversary by reflecting on its journey and offering a 25% off sale! We discuss the impacts of the company culture and the importance of taking action. We also discuss challenges in the trail camera industry, lessons learned from interviewing hunters, misconceptions of the outdoor industry, important lessons in hunting, the value of relationships, and avoiding putting oneself or others on a pedestal. We discuss:

Impact on the trail camera market through warranty policies and D2C model
Different demographics buy different types of trail cameras
Mistakes and setbacks are inevitable in business, and it's important to learn from them and adapt
Close relationships are important
Taking pride in positively impacting the outdoor camera space
The market for trail cameras has become increasingly competitive, with fewer new brands popping up
Being nimble and adapting to market shifts is crucial for success in the industry
Although more competitive, newer brands can be successful with the tools and communities available in the hunting industry.
The most rewarding aspect of Exodus is being involved with good people, building a culture one can believe in, and seeing personnel grow.
Everyone has their own struggles and challenges, regardless of their level of success.
Gratitude for one's customers and supporters should always be expressed.
Controlling ground scent significantly prevents deer from scooting around cameras during hunting season.
Ideal terrain features for cell cameras include the tops of drainages leading into a bench, hardwood fingers into swamps and marshes, and fence gaps or community scrapes at the bottom of a hub.
Tops of drainages leading into a bench are great terrain features to use cell cameras on for intel purposes.
Whitetail hunting can be approached in many different ways, but it's important to have conviction in your process.
Successful whitetail hunters share common traits of being methodical and organized in their approach.
Winter inventory is more impactful than summer inventory for hunting purposes.
