Hunting Tails

If you tell someone that you are using your bow during Wisconsin's nine day rifle season on public land, they would probably tell you you're crazy. Tony Van Asten tells his story of doing just that! He got some funny looks in the parking lot on the way in, and some even crazier looks on the walk out with a magnum 8 pointer on his back. You won't want to miss this one!

Ethan Escue kills everything. Huge whitetails, mule deer, antelope, and even mountain lions. Ethan tells two stories in this episode. The first is a monster whitetail in South Dakota, and the second is a mega mountain lion in the snow. This conversation made me want to go get a mountain lion tag!

Jon killed a huge Minnesota buck with his bow three days ago. This will interrupt scheduled programming to bring you a bonus episode mid week. Opening weekend can be one of the most lethal times for bow hunters. Listen to how Jon ripped his arrow through this bucks heart.

Jon Lewis of "Just Hunt Club" tells two incredible stories. He tracked a huge PA buck in the snow and followed that up with a true monarch in New Hampshire. The northeast is a forgotten part of the country to hunt big bucks. Just Hunt Club is putting everyone on notice, by consistently killing deer out there.

Most whitetail hunters dream of shooting a 200" whitetail. Most of us will never even see one on the hoof, much less shoot one on the ground with a bow on public land. Cody Huhn is the creator and owner of "Public Land Whitetails" Youtube channel. Listen to the greatest whitetail story I have ever heard.

Mississippi is known to be one of the most challenging whitetail states in the US, especially on public land. Drayton Lehman took his boat and his wife down for three days and came back with a local legend. Listen to Drayton tell the non resident journey in the deep south. His boat started on fire, they almost drowned in the river, and one of their trailer tires exploded. You won't be disappointed you clicked on this episode.

Nick Andrews thinks he heard someone get shot way back on public land in Missouri! This one felt like a spooky campfire story session at some points. Nick tells two awesome stories about hunts that he got to film for THP in Iowa and Minnesota. Stick around until the end to have the hair on the back of your neck stand up!

Shooting a mature buck in public land hill country may be one of the hardest things in the hunting industry. Last season, Mack Mella made it look easy. Mack shot a Mega Giant at 5 years and watched him fall off a cliff. Listen to Mack take us through the behind the scenes of this hunt and others.

Will Deets joins the podcast to tell us about shooting two Minnesota slammers before barely being able to legally drive. Will and his family have put together one of the greatest whitetail properties in the midwest. You don't want to miss this one!

Jake Huebschman of The Hunting Public joins me to talk about velvet whitetail hunting out west. Jake drove out west back to back years without anywhere to hunt, and had to door knock for permission. After hearing his stories, I am beyond excited for September 1st.
