EP. 368: Shifting Plans To Find Success & Late Season Bow Hunting | Johnny Stewart Dec 27, 2023

Show notes

Today I’m joined by my good buddy Johnny Stewart. Johnny is grinding through his late season with a few tags still in his pocket - he’s on his way to Iowa as we speak. He filled 3 buck tags this past October through November in Pennsylvania and West Virginia. The success didn’t come easy. Some of his key spots were burned early in the season between human pressure and logging that occurred. Today we talk about changing plans when things go south. And even after years of success how Johnny is always most excited about each season’s learning opportunities - thanks for listening.

EP. 367: Late Season Grind | The Best Worst Season | Greg Litzinger Dec 20, 2023

Show notes

Today I’m joined by my good buddy Greg Litzinger. Greg has had one of his best seasons…and one of his worst at the same time. He’s been in the game, having encounters more times than most in a couple seasons combined. A branch here, a deflected arrow there…and being just a step behind a target deer has been the story of his season. He’s still grinding it out…he’s the “Ultimate Warrior” and I have a feeling antlers will be in his late season future. Always love catching up with my guy - thanks for listening.

EP. 366: The Nature of The Beast | Jace Allen Dec 13, 2023

Show notes

Today I’m joined by my buddy Jace Allen. Jace is one of those people who is just born to deer hunt and chase mature bucks. He’s as dedicated to his craft as anyone you’ll meet. That doesn’t mean there aren’t hard lessons to learn…even for the most experienced woodsman. Most guys are thrilled to fill a tag no matter how the hunt ends so long as it end with a buck on the ground. Jace is a little different and the hunt and the animal means more to him than another piece of taxidermy on his wall. He’s been successful this season yet again…but he wasn’t happy with how the hunt unfolded - he expects more from himself and it’s why you won’t find a whitetail more deserving of success. Always a pleasure catching up with one of the Missouri killers - thanks for listening.

EP. 365: Two Bucks, One Week | Jake Hofer | Iowa & Illinois Dec 06, 2023

Show notes

Today I’m joined by my Jake Hofer from Exodus Outdoor Gear. Jake is one of my good buddies and one of the best deer hunters I know. The running joke in our friend circle for a long time was if a deer was going to be killed by our group of friends…Jake would be the one to do it. Year after year he fills tags on mature bucks. This year He drew a coveted Iowa tag…but made the decision to leave Iowa during prime—time to catch a few good weather days at home in Illinois. Sounds crazy to leave Iowa, right? Well, like usual, Jake has a knack analyzing, making a strategy, and executing…and things worked out pretty well! Always love catching up with the quiet killer, hope you all dig the conversation as much as I did - thanks for listening.

EP. 364: Hunt For Fulfillment & Tags Will Get Filled | Erik Barber Nov 29, 2023

Show notes

Today I’m joined by my buddy Erik Barber. Erik has had a killer fall, filling two archery tags. Funny thing about filling tags early, is you sometimes feel like you’re missing out with so much season left. I don’t think anyone would complain about filling tags early…but there is definitely some fear of missing out, or missing those November sunrises. Erik is as passionate an outdoorsman as you’ll find, initially cutting his teeth at Midwest whitetail with the guys from THP and now working for Vortex Optics. Making your passion your job can create some turbulence in keeping joy in the hunt. WE talk about Eriks phenomenal fall and how he’s learned to keep the hunting fires burning bright while working in the outdoor industry for a decade. Awesome conversation and hope you all dig it as much as I did - and thanks for listening.

EP. 363: Public Land Booner From The Ground | Season of Redemption Nov 22, 2023

Show notes

Today We’re talking about my recent hunt in Kansas. Three seasons ago I set a goal to kill a Kansas whitetail from the ground. I had a lot of opportunities that I screwed up the previous seasons. Each set up got a little better last year and I really felt this was the year to meet my goal. I wasn’t looking for a giant…when I hunt out of state, my mission is to try and take a buck that is the average/representative animal for the area I’m hunting. It would’ve been really easy to screw this hunt up. A lot of things when the deer were approaching were not breaking my way. I had to make a lot of small and quick decisions on how to play the situation. I think a lot of things I do outside of hunting that helps me be more present in my day to day life, and mentally in control of my emotions/actions was actually what allowed the arrow to get released…and be fatal. When it came to those critical seconds that stood between a grip and grin and just another story of a great encounter…I was in control this time. I remembered every detail…no auto-pilot…no blacking out and not remembering the shot. Fully present. I hope you all dig the session, and as always thank you all for listening.

Show notes

Today I’m joined by my buddy Jared Scheffler of Whitetail Adrenaline. Beyond Jared being a killer with the stick and string, he’s the passion behind Whitetail Adrenaline that brings us, what I consider, to be the hands down best hunting content ever made. Being great at anything comes with a cost. We talk about the cost of perfection and getting your passion back, traditional archery and of course…decoying open country giants - thanks for listening!

EP. 361: Putting A Buck In A Boat | Mid-October Mornings Nov 08, 2023

Show notes

Today we’re doing something a little different… I’m turning over the reins of the show to my buddy Aaron Hepler to talk about the filling my PA tag this October. Pulling this buck out with my kayak was something I set as a goal a few years ago when I found this area scouting. I’ve been beaten by two different bucks in this spot the previous two season…things finally came together on October 16th.

EP. 360: One Shot At Redemption | Public Land Booner | Austin Culbertson Nov 01, 2023

Show notes

Today I’m joined by my buddy Austin Culbertson. Austin is one of the killers from Missouri that I’ve come to know over the past few seasons. If you remember the episode he and I did last season, he talked about a buck that got away that was haunting him…a true giant that was living in plain site…but seemed un-killable - then he got his chance and the worst situation for a bowhunter happened. Going into the offseason he only wanted to know if this deer he’s played chess with was still alive…he was. Today we close the chapter on the “wide one.” I hope you all dig the conversations as much as I did - thanks for listening!

Smart old buck

EP. 359: Gambling Vs. Investing | Tony Peterson Oct 25, 2023

Show notes

Today I’m joined by my buddy Tony Peterson. Tony has been on the show a handful of times and I consider him to be one of the best public land hunters I’ve ever met. More than that, he has a keen ability to observe, gain perspective, articulate complex situations and execute a plan…be it hunting strategy, or life events in general. He chases the experience above everything…truthfully it’s a perspective I’ve gained from spending time with him and it’s made hunting better for me. I’m glad to call him a friend and always enjoy our conversations. Hope you guys dig it as much as I did - thanks for listening!
