In this episode of the Deer IQ podcast we kick off our series on the details of Mobile Hunting that bring success. Whether a new to it, or someone who has been at it awhile, our discussions and guests will get you thinking about how to become more effective, and we’ll challenge you to put what you learn to action in very tangible ways.

• What specific situations does Jared lean on mobile hunting and why?
• How aggressive does he hunt, and why, and what does this depend on?
• What are his keys to getting very close to bedded bucks on public land, and how close does he think you have to get to have a chance?
• What one thing does he say is the real advantage of mobile hunting, and what are the pros and cons we discuss?
• What are his keys to finding the exact right spot to setup when just a few yards could be the difference?

And a lot more!

I'm with guest Jared Shaffer for part 2, as we dig into the nuances of his saddle setup from start to finish. It's a great episode to help you dial in your setup, as he reveals the ultra- nuanced, and often overlooked finer points that take you from good to great and help notch tags.

In this special Deer IQ podcast episode Part 2, we discuss the harsh lessons and what all hunters can possibly take away from my interview with CJ Alexander and the poaching of a huge Ohio buck. We reveal our hunter survey and the surprising results of just how many would do the same, and what that may mean. It's an honest conversation of hunter ethics, and how to safeguard yourself from falling into the traps that ensnare far too many hunters.

• How many hunters would consider poaching a trophy whitetail?
• How we hunters view each other, and possibly why we have these inflated perceptions.
• How Manni kept himself from poaching a world-class buck.
• The overlooked factors that led to poor choices in the CJ case.
• What every hunter should think about to make sure they don't become a statistic.

In this special Deer IQ podcast episode we have a frank discussion about an often glossed over topic - hunter ethics, within the context of a case we all probably know - the poaching of the world-class CJ Alexander buck. In this exclusive post-conviction interview with CJ, we

• Peel back the curtain on what actually happened and he opens up and shares the true story of this buck (not the made-up one) - including untold details of taking it and never before seen video footage.
• He reveals how he found this deer, what drove him to pursue it relentless despite the risk (that’s a little different than some have said).
• Things he says were portrayed in a wrong light by the DNR.
• Why he continued to tell a lie to the public even after confessing to DNR officers.
• Just what he was thinking as this charade unfolded in front of the whole country.
Unforeseen consequences and BIG regrets he has.
• What he plans to do moving forward to hopefully right a wrong.

It’s a conversation full of lessons we all can learn from so hopefully mistakes like this can be avoided in the future by others. Here’s my exclusive interview with CJ Alexander.

In this High IQ podcast episode we dive deep into mock scrapes, and how to make them in a way that increases chances bucks will take them over, and YOU will get a crack at them. Apologies for some glitchy video. Summer is a great time to begin habituating deer to visiting locations you want, and a much better strategy than trying to chase bucks around all fall.

We cover:
• 4 reasons to start scrapes in July.
• How most influencers and "expert hunters" model this incorrectly.
• A Scrape KIT and its components that will help you make scrapes with high takeover rates.
• Examples of setups for placement to maximize activity, and what to look for on private and public land, and more!

In this episode of the Deer IQ podcast I’m with my friend Manni to discuss his journey with broadheads and testing them,  and why your selection is more critical than most think to your bow hunting success. If you have struggled with broadhead setup and flight, have had some bad hits in the past maybe and wonder what happened, or haven’t really done the work of testing yours in a nuanced way like we all probably should, this podcast is will get you thinking in the right direction. So here are the top things to look for during this episode on proper broadhead and arrow setup:

• What started Manni on his broadhead journey, and why do some people never even think about their broadhead setup like they should?
• What did he decide in the fixed vs. mechanical debate, and how did he come to this strong conclusion?
• What exact attributes should you look for in a broadhead (7), and also your arrow setup - as they both have to work well together and this is often overlooked.
• What caused me to lose some confidence in my broadheads, and how do you build REAL vs. FAKE confidence in your broadhead and arrow setups.
• What is Manni’s challenge at the end ,and 3 simple rules for selecting the right setup for you?
