It’s that time of year where the farm never slows down — drills in the ground, sprayers running, and stands getting hung one by one. We’re deep in the grind, stacking good decisions now so we’re ready when deer season hits.

In this Farm Companion, we’re working ground, putting in summer cover, dialing in fall food plots, and getting the farm cleaned up and ready to hunt. The to-do list is long, but the payoff is coming. Every seed, every screw in a stand, every lap on the tractor — it’s all for those first sits of the season.

Deer season’s not here yet, but we can feel it. And we’re getting after it.

This week on the HUNTR Podcast, we sit down with John Dudley—a world-class archer, passionate bowhunter, and the founder of Nock On Archery. John’s not just a guy who can shoot lights out—he’s someone who’s built his entire life around teaching others how to be better with a bow and more intentional in the field. We dive into John’s background and how a career on the pro archery circuit evolved into a mission to help hunters shoot with purpose. He breaks down the difference between being a great archer and a great hunter, why understanding that gap matters, and how it can elevate your entire approach in the woods. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.

From drilling beans and laying down switchgrass to tightening up our farm efficiency, it’s been all about execution—and now, we’re seeing that hard work come to life. We’re walking through what went right, what we learned, and why we’re more confident than ever in the farm’s potential heading into deer season. It’s all about building a property that hunts smarter and creates better opportunities year after year. We appreciate you following this journey with us, and we'll see you next week.

In this episode of the HUNTR Podcast, we're stoked to have Skip Sligh back on to dive into what it really takes to grow big deer. Skip brings a wealth of knowledge when it comes to managing whitetails and building the kind of habitat that consistently produces mature bucks. We dig into the details — from food plots and chemical spraying to managing warm season grasses like switchgrass and making smart, timely decisions on the farm. This is the time of year to get things dialed, and Skip lays it all out. Big thanks to him for sharing his insight with us. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.

This week on the Farm Companion, we’re locking in the plan for our next trip back to Illinois—fine-tuning every inch of the farm as spring gives way to summer. It’s all about putting in the work now that pays off when it counts. We’re getting switchgrass in the ground, planting beans, and spraying to stay ahead of the curve before it’s time to drop brassicas this fall. Every move we make is with the hunt in mind—thinking ahead, setting the table, and building a farm that hunts better every year. This is the grind that separates a decent sit from a season you remember. Thanks for riding along on this week’s Farm Companion. Fall starts now—sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.

In this episode of the HUNTR Podcast, we bring back our good friend Mike Lawer for a conversation that goes way beyond tags and trophies. From early hunting memories and family traditions to the challenges of the hunting industry, we reflect on what truly matters in the outdoors. It's nice to sit back, sip on some bourbon, and talk all things hunting — with a few unexpected twists along the way. Mike shares some of his wildest stories, including close encounters with UFOs... and even Bigfoot. This was a fun one for us and we hope you enjoy the conversations. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.

In this episode of Farm Companion, we’re diving deep into summer food plot prep—from herbicide tactics to planting timing. We break down our approach to using pre-emergent chemicals for beans, when and why we’re spraying glyphosate, and how Roundup Ready beans and atrazine play into our weed control strategy. It's time to get beans and corn in the ground, maximize green sources, and start thinking about farm structures. Before we know it, all the off-season work will pay off and we'll be in the stand soon enough. We hope you enjoy this Farm Companion and we'll catch you next week. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.

In this episode of the HUNTR Podcast, we sit down with David Stainbrook and Andrea Korman, deer biologists with the Pennsylvania Game Commission, to talk about the science and strategy behind managing the state’s whitetail population.

If you’re a regular listener, you know we put a strong focus on state regulations and how they affect hunter opportunity. We dive into hot topics like doe harvest, Sunday hunting, and how key decisions are made that impact every hunter in the state. These are the conversations we enjoy most—hearing directly from the people making the decisions, while bringing attention to the issues we believe matter in today’s hunting world.

Big thanks to David and Andrea for having us out. We hope you enjoy the episode, and we’ll catch you next week. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.
