#329 - The Story of an All-Time 200 Inch Typical - Jason Thomas Jan 30, 2024

Show notes

In this epssode we get the full story of the Jason Thomas buck! Jason tagged a buck of a lifetime on October 28th from the ground! Hear the full story along with:

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."

#328 - This Crop Produces The Biggest Bucks? & Post Season Debrief With Thomas Mlsna Jan 23, 2024

Show notes

This week we're sitting down with Thomas Mlsna to discuss:

What we should all consider after the season
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

Show notes

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.
