Lee and Jay are back in the studio diving into Michigan's updated deer feeding and baiting regulations. We’re dissecting the fine line between "baiting" for hunting and "feeding" for recreational viewing—including the new rules around placing up to two gallons of feed within 300 feet of a home. We also take a humorous look at the logic behind how distance limits are supposed to curb Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD)

In this week’s episode of the podcast, Lee and Jay sit down to cover a wide range of essential early-season hunting topics. From where we stand on Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) management to our tactical plans for fall food plots, we’re diving into the real-world decisions hunters face as autumn approaches.Lee also opens up about losing access to his long-time permission farm after a recent land sale—a reality many of us know all too well—and how to bounce back when you lose a property you’ve invested in. Plus, we share practical strategies and proven tips on how to gain hunting permission on private land, knock on doors, and build trust with landowners.At the end of the day, no matter what tactical knowledge or hunting advice we share, our ultimate goal is to bring you closer to Jesus. We hope this episode encourages you both in the woods and in your faith.#AHKJ #FallFoodPlots #DeerHunting #HuntingPermission #TeamJesus

Missouri is proposing some of the most significant deer regulation changes in recent memory—but what's really driving them?

In this episode of the Everland Outdoors Podcast, we sit down with Jason Isabelle, Head Deer Biologist for the Missouri Department of Conservation, for an honest conversation about the science, research, and hunter feedback shaping the future of whitetail management.

We discuss why these changes are being proposed, how Missouri monitors its deer herd, the challenges wildlife managers face, and what these decisions could mean for hunters in the years ahead. Whether you support the proposed regulations or simply want to understand the reasoning behind them, this episode provides insight straight from the biologist helping lead Missouri's deer management program.

In this episode:
• Why Missouri is proposing major deer regulation changes
• The data behind modern deer management
• Hunter participation and public input
• The future of Missouri's whitetail herd
• Common misconceptions about wildlife management
• What every Missouri deer hunter should know

If you're passionate about whitetails, conservation, and the future of deer hunting, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

Follow Everland Outdoors for more conversations with leading biologists, conservationists, and experienced hunters as we explore the stories and science behind better wildlife management.

In this episode, we sit down with Brett Smith from Whitetail Land Management to dive into the evolving world of deer management, state hunting regulations, and the impact of modern technology on wildlife conservation.

Brett breaks down:

• Why states like Michigan, Kentucky, and Virginia could benefit from "Earn-a-Buck" programs.

• How technology is forcing hunting regulations to adapt to protect resources.

• Addressing massive herd imbalances across the country and the importance of doe harvests.

• The real numbers behind herd management and how proper management improves overall hunt quality.

Whether you're managing your own property or looking to understand state-level wildlife trends, this conversation offers actionable insights for every whitetail hunter!

If you want to take your whitetail habitat management to the absolute next level, this is the one episode you need to listen to twice.

In this episode, we sit down with Jon Teater from Whitetail Landscapes. Jon is generations ahead of the curve when it comes to maximizing a property for mature whitetails, and he does it by taking a completely holistic, natural approach. That means no dangerous herbicides, no overpriced corporate seed companies, and zero B.S. Jon breaks down how to manage food plot weeds naturally by simply combating them with the right plant species, unlocking your soil biology, and growing high-nutrient forage that mature bucks crave. We also dive into why the hunting industry gets stuck in a "one-size-fits-all" mentality and how Jon's business specializes in identifying the specific, underlying issues holding your individual hunting land back from its true potential.

Ever feel like your deer herd is out of balance, or miss that classic "deer camp" camaraderie during the off-season?

In this episode of Everland Outdoors, we sit down with Tim, the founder of Doe Patrol, to discuss how a simple mission to help less fortunate families in need of protein turned into a massive movement for conservation, community, and charity.

Tim breaks down how Doe Patrol serves as a vital outlet for hunters to properly manage their herds by taking more does. But it’s much more than just a management tool—Doe Patrol has evolved into a weekly fellowship. It’s a modern-day "deer camp" where you can learn hands-on butchering skills, mentor youth getting into the outdoors for the first time, and connect with like-minded hunters.

Perhaps most importantly, we dive into their incredible initiative of getting meat to those who need it the most, turning harvest into a resource to feed the hungry.

We highly recommend checking out their mission. Hit play to learn how you can shoot more does, feed your community, and build deeper fellowship.
