In this episode, I talk with Andrew Cheslock who works closely with Deer Society and Almond Eye Productions.  He's edited various Deer Society episodes and segments involving myself and others.  He's also worked directly for Pat and Nicole Reeves at Driven TV and subcontracted with Ozonics to film a variety of big game hunts.  Andrew hails from Minnesota and is here on his first hunt in Southern Iowa.  In a weird twist of events he met me, my buddy Dustan, and my new buddy, Spike!  We talk about what it means to be a cameraman/woman in today's era of modern outdoor television as well as how his hunt is going so far in Southern Iowa and his plans to knock down a good one on Iowas public lands this fall.  

 As we enter the pre-rut phase, understanding what mature bucks require for bedding to feel secure throughout the daytime hours can greatly increase your odds of getting an arrow into one.  In this episode, I discuss those requirements, and exceptions, so that you can not only take advantage of the upcoming days, but also use this bit of information throughout the majority of the rest of this deer hunting season!

This intro to the new podcast, Bucks, Bows, and Bulls, will feature an overview of where we are in the rut phase here in the Midwest and what to look forward to in the week ahead.  I cover some of the basics, my plans for the next few days, and of course the overall context of what to expect in this podcast.   Please share this on your social media if you've got friends who love to bowhunt big bucks and bulls!!
