Winter is when deer decide where they’ll survive — and where they won’t. In this Farm Companion episode, we break down what actually helps hold more deer when winter hits, from winter feeding strategy and herd pressure to timber management decisions that make or break a farm. This is the work that keeps deer around. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.

Big bucks don’t just leave by accident. In this episode, Brett Smith of Whitetail Land Management Services breaks down why mature deer won’t stay on most properties—and what he’s seen consistently work across hundreds of whitetail farms. From food and cover to pressure, access, and modern technology, we talk about the mistakes landowners keep making and why some farms quietly produce year after year while others don’t. This conversation is about real-world experience, not theory—and what actually matters if your goal is holding mature bucks long term. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.

In episode 301 of the HUNTR Podcast, we break down the full story behind a 211" green-scored Georgia whitetail — a buck that challenges everything people think they know about southern deer hunting. Collin Chandler walks us through the decisions, pressure, and patience that led to a once-in-a-lifetime moment in the woods. This episode goes beyond inches. We dive into southern whitetail strategy, realistic expectations, habitat, and why deer like this aren’t supposed to happen — yet sometimes they do. It’s an honest conversation about chasing mature bucks, learning from the process, and staying committed when the odds feel stacked against you. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.

In the final Hunt Companion of the season, we break down why this window right now matters more than most hunters realize. As bucks begin to shed and the woods transition into winter, this is the time when next season is quietly being decided. We talk through how we’re shifting gears into the new year, evaluating the season that was, and laying the groundwork for what’s ahead through offseason land management, habitat work, and farm planning. From timber and planting projects to setting priorities for the months ahead, this is the work that gives us the best opportunity at a mature buck next fall. It’s time to lock in during the offseason and focus on the moves that most hunters overlook. Thanks for always supporting us, and we’ll catch you guys next time. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.

In episode 299 of the HUNTR Podcast, Jared and Jeremy tackle a hard truth many landowners overlook: if your farm isn’t holding mature bucks, the land probably isn’t the problem — your strategy is. They break down the most common mistakes that push deer off a property, from poor access and pressure to ineffective cover and layout decisions. This episode dives into how deer actually use a farm, what keeps them comfortable year-round, and the key courses of action that turn ground into a place mature bucks want to live. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.

In this Hunt Companion episode, we break down late season strategy for this month, including getting feeders filled, deploying cameras, and making one final push before the season ends. We also dive into the mistakes that cost opportunities, why those hard lessons matter, and how learning from failure is what actually makes you a better hunter. Stay safe and good luck in the woods this week. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.
