In this week's Farm Companion, the guys take their first trip back to the Illinois farm since last deer season. This is the time of year when we lock in and develop a game plan for setting up the farm for next season. It’s an opportunity to evaluate what worked, what didn’t, and how we can improve the overall quality of deer hunting for the future.Reflecting on the past season and building history with both the farm and the deer that call it home is always a rewarding experience. We love this time of year—getting boots on the ground and putting in the work for a better chance at harvesting mature bucks.We hope you enjoy this series, as we’ll be bringing you new episodes every Sunday. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show!

In this episode of the HUNTR Podcast, we sit down with Jake Hofer to dive deep into the evolution of trail cameras, the challenges of today's hunting, and how to manage land for better whitetail habitat. As a key player at Exodus and host of The Land Podcast, Jake brings a wealth of knowledge on how technology is shaping scouting strategies and what it means for hunters today. We’re always thinking about the future of whitetails and the hunting experience—how are we impacting the landscape for future generations? What can we do to ensure hunting remains accessible and enjoyable for everyone? Jake shares that same passion, and together, we break down these big questions. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the conversation.

In this episode of the HUNTR Podcast, we sit down with legendary big-woods tracker Hal Blood from Big Woods Bucks. Hal has spent decades mastering the art of tracking mature bucks in some of the toughest terrain out there. He breaks down his time-tested strategies for finding and following big-woods giants, sharing insights on reading tracks, understanding buck behavior, and navigating remote wilderness. We often talk about the lack of woodsmanship in today's hunting world, but for Hal, it's the only way — and it's refreshing to hear him share his tactics in the woods. This episode is packed with wisdom you won’t want to miss. We appreciate Hal joining us on the show, and we hope you enjoy the conversation. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show!

We're back with another Farm Companion! In this episode, we're diving into what it really takes to keep big bucks on your property. This time of year is all about looking back on last season — what worked, what didn’t — and figuring out how to improve your whitetail habitat. For us, it always comes down to two key things: food and cover. If you want to hold mature bucks, you’ve got to ask yourself, “What can I do to make my farm a place that gives deer everything they need?” That’s exactly what we’re breaking down today. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.

In this episode of HUNTR Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Daniel Storm, Wisconsin DNR’s top deer research scientist, to break down the findings from the biggest CWD study ever done in the state. After tracking over 1,000 whitetails for five years, the results are in—and they’re game-changing. We’re talking survival rates, herd impact, and what CWD really means for hunters moving forward. Are deer numbers dropping? Will this disease change how we hunt? And what can be done to manage it? Dr. Storm lays it all out there for us. This is one you don’t want to miss.
