When the leafs start to change color each fall, and the drive to deer hunt all day reaches its peak, the tune of the "hunting widow" is amplified across the country. Not to exclude the other hunting seasons, but deer hunting seems to take the brunt of this near syndromatic phenomenon.  Laura Eakin, the wife of a hardcore deer and elk hunter, once fell victim to this situation.  And, in an effort to pseudo-retaliate against this status quo, Laura started a podcast known as The Hunting Widow Podcast.   It started as a project where Laura planned to gather her hunting widow friends and verbally express their disdain for the situation.  That was the intent, but what actually happened was something completely different.  Instead of forming a quasi support group laced with microphones, Laura found herself interviewing lady hunters from across the country, beginning a life of hunting for herself,  and has formed what is arguably the only lady-hunter focused podcast in the iTunes catalog.  Laura goes into detail about why she started the show, how it changed her perspective on hunting altogether, and how she feels her show contributes to getting more women into the field.

Chubby Tines Tip of the Week Written by Dusty Phillips

Scott Shawl has been solving puzzles for a while now. Technically his family has been solving the big buck deer hunting puzzle since the 1800s. Ask Scott about the 300+ pound monster whitetail that his great grandfather Daniel Shawl shot back in 1914 and you'll quickly realize that the Shawl's have a long tradition of hunting whitetail bucks in places most hunters won't go. For Scott, a trip deep into a swamp with hip boots to hunt high pressured bucks is not uncommon. Scott says that hunting pressure gets so high that a even a buck which hides deep in thick swamps can walk 100 yards and live, but beyond that, it's probably a dead deer. Scott has learned to adapt his hunting to go where other hunters won't hunt, a strategy similar to Dan Infalt. Scott says that Dan helped him perfect his craft by getting closer to big bucks sleeping in swamp beds. We cover lots of ground in this show. You made want to consider buying a wet suit when it's over.

Chubby Tines Tip of the Week Written by Dusty Phillips

Nick Percy is joining us once again, but this time with a different take on food plots. The last time that we spoke with Nick was in June 2016 found here: www.BigBuckRegistry.com/killerfoodplots ,  when our focus was on food plots for the fall. Now, as the snow melts away in the Northern Zone, we learn from Nick that there are several kinds of seeds that we can throw atop frost ridden soils and let mother nature take over by working the seeds into the soil naturally. There's a point to this.  As deer come out of their food scare winter habitats (especially in the northern United States), having a rich crop of green protein and nutrients will get the herd back into shape quickly as the rest of the world follows suit down in the weeks to come. But, there are soil considerations to consider too, like ph, soil temps, and minerals.  Nick takes us through his bag of tricks for early spring food plot preparation.

Chubby Tines Tip of the Week Written by Dusty Phillips

Wayne Bolton walks miles.  We suggested that he try out a FitBit, just to keep track. As the "Shed Hunting Fool", over the last 20 something years, Wayne has spent almost every hour he had available from around mid-January to mid-April hunting for every antler he could locate. We estimate that this would be the equivalent of a second full time job and a second part time job if anyone is counting. But that effort pays off.  It's not uncommon for Wayne for find 50+ sheds a season (down from 100+ when the competition wasn't so great) and because he spends most of his shed hunting time in southwestern Ohio, he's finding some of nature's greatest sheds in America.  We were curious about how Wayne goes about this craft, how it relates to deer hunting, and how we could learn from his techniques and apply them anywhere in the country.  Oh, and stick around for Wayne's deer hunting story about a buck named Curley. It's a good one.

Chubby Tines Tip of the Week Written by Dusty Phillips

Growing up in Ohio and working for different farms and construction companies, Matt Light learned what hard honest work was like.  On the football field, he found a home where strength met aggression and technique.  In the hunting woods, he found an appreciation and passion for the outdoors where focus on technique mattered just as much as it did on the football field.  Matt paid little attention to football outside of his hometown high school team, but college football recruiters were paying attention to him.  He played a full collegiate career at Purdue along side Drew Brees and soon found himself playing along side Tom Brady for the New England Patriots from 2001 to 2012.  Matt says that football taught him many lessons in life, but so has hunting where he says sometimes you just have one of those days where everything goes your way. Today, after spending 11 years in the NFL, he has set his sights on raising money for the Matt Light Foundation (www.MattLight72.com) where he hopes to help the slightly misguided youth towards a life of success and leadership through connections with the outdoors. Oh, and Matt hunts now more than ever. As you might imagine, playing under Coach Bill Belichick for 11 years might have interrupted a deer season or two, so he's making up for lost time.

Maybe's it's revenge from when Dan Infalt was charged by a buck at age 9, or maybe it's just that Dan's strategizes a deer hunt more than most. Whatever it is, Dan Infalt is one heck of a good deer hunter.  Dan begins a hunt with maps, not just to determine where the big bucks bed, but to determine where everyone else hunts, so that he doesn't. Dan loves to hunt buck beds that are surrounded by water where other hunters and most predators (except for Dan) won't travel. He also enjoys a good game of cat and mouse, scouting during the season, backtracking on buck sightings,  and feels that one of his key ingredients to killing big bucks is his ability to keep the swamp monsters guessing by rarely hunting the same set twice. Dan reveals many of his tips and tricks in this show. And just in case you have more questions, we've set up a special session with Dan on Faceook LIVE on our Facebook page on Thursday at 6pm. www.facebook.com/bigbuckregistry

Chubby Tines Tip of the Week Written by Dusty Phillips

Picture if you can traveling to a remote area,  being stripped of all your clothing, meeting a complete stranger (also naked), and being left to fend for yourselves in the raw elements of the forest or jungle. Could you do it?  This is a real scenario for Laura Zerra, one of the original cast members of the Discovery Channel's Naked and Afraid. We first met Laura at a dinner table in Las Vegas and turns out there's much more to Laura than being a reality television star.  As you might suspect Laura is full of life.  She is a survivalist and a hunter. In this episode we learn quite a bit about the elements of survival, tips on surviving in the wilderness, sleeping in coyote dens, what tarantulas taste like, and how to learn from the animals you hunt, and why Laura developed a style of hunting called persistence hunting.

Chubby Tines Tip of the Week Written by Dusty Phillips

Agronomy is a noun.  It means the science of soil management and crop production. Biology is a natural science concerned with the study of life and living organisms, including their structure, function, growth, evolution, distribution, identification and taxonomy.  When an agronomist and a biologist get together to think up what deer really need to survive and flourish, look out, the brain waves might be radioactive.  Stand too close and you will learn lots about proper whitetail nutrition.  Jason Obermiller, a teacher and taxidermist with a Master's Degree in Biology, and Eric Fitzgerald, a full time agronomist, teamed up to develop what might be the deer supplement industry's most thought out, most well designed deer supplement on the market today.  Jason's thesis in college focused on a new way quickly age younger deer and soon after focused further studies on deer supplements currently on the market.  Jason can also tell you plenty about the health of a whitetail based on the feel of a antler (he's examined many as a taxidermist). Eric can read a soil report and tell you exactly what you need to make crops grow to their fullest potential.  Jason and Eric dive deep in this show explore many aspects of what a whitetail needs for complete nourishment in a herd and explain what you can and shouldn't do to help the overall health of the deer in your specific area.

Chubby Tines Tip of the Week Written by Dusty Phillips

Barry Wensel says two heads are better than one. What he's referring to is the ability to learn the woods and understand deer hunting scenarios from the perspective of two woodsman instead of soley relying on his own perspective. The other woodsman he's referring to is his brother Gene.  Barry and Gene Wensel are regarded by even the best deer hunters as whitetail deer hunting royalty.  And, arguably, they might just be the best pure all-around deer hunters on the planet. Barry spends much of his time in the woods studying and learning the terrain and how deer move through areas and will make micro adjustments at his treestand setups to turn a 25 yard shot into a 15 yard shot.  Barry has also been known to travel several hundred yards out of his way, just to approach his treestand correctly, and undetected.  This show is loaded with tips and strategies, and although it pushes the 2 hour mark, it will feel like ten minutes.

Chubby Tines Tip of the Week Written by Dusty Phillips

A gun loving taxidermist living Ojai, California naturally finds himself surrounded by anti-gun anti-hunting liberals.  It makes Chuck Testa's life more interesting and says he's lost lots of friends.  But Chuck doesn't take life too seriously (unless you're talking about his taxidermy work - he's all business there) and says we all are better off when we can make fun of ourselves.  We don't disagree. Chuck also says that "Nope!" is a zen-like state of mind. Chuck has become a symbol and icon of our YouTube culture where Chuck was the centerpiece of a commercial created by famous YouTubers Rhett and Link. Chuck unintentionally found fame when that same commercial hit the YouTube circuit where it has been downloaded over 17 million times.  Chuck is hardcore when it comes to his taxidermy work and business but  his sense of humor and seemingly dry-toast personality makes watching Chuck's life entertaining.  And now Chuck has his own television show called Mounted on Carbon TV.  We talk with Chuck about his beginnings, his viral video fame, his taxidermy, and his television show in this episode.
