Logan Archibald joins us to share his journey from Michigan to Texas and back again, discussing wildlife management, deer guiding, and how hunting communities can better support conservation through understanding and cooperation.

• Born and raised in Michigan, Logan studied wildlife management before spending seven years guiding in South Texas
• High fence ranches in Texas often span thousands of acres where deer rarely encounter boundaries
• Aging deer properly requires looking at where the neck meets the body, back sway, and leg proportionality
• Texas Parks & Wildlife works directly with landowners through Managed Land Deer Permits to create customized harvest plans
• Buck-to-doe ratios explain why Texas deer respond better to rattling than northern deer
• Supplemental feeding impacts deer health but corn provides minimal nutritional value
• Michigan's new rule prohibiting youth hunters from shooting bucks creates barriers to recruitment
• Turkey hunting community shows less divisiveness than deer hunting culture
• Following your passion as a hunter sometimes means stepping behind the camera to help others
• Improving hunting success requires thorough scouting and proficiency with equipment
