In this episode of the Missouri Woods & Water Podcast, we get together with our buddy Pat and recap our experiences during the rut/rifle season. First, we have a short little mini show with Micah's son Lawson about his first deer.  After that, we get into Pat's archery buck, Nate's second archery buck, Andy's rifle buck, and finally Pat's rifle buck.  As always, our rut was full of awesome memories made in the woods, and some awesome deer as well.  Hopefully everyone had an awesome rut, but if you didn't, there is still a month left to get it done!  Thanks for listening!

In this episode of the Missouri Woods & Water Podcast we welcome back our friend Corey Groff and talk about his story this season with the "Short G2 Buck".  Our conversation delves into the challenges of hunting in unseasonably warm weather, the strategies Corey employed to hunt this deer, and the lessons learned from a missed shot during the hunt.  We talk about the evolving narrative within the hunting community regarding the realities of hunting, and the steps taken to track and recover a wounded deer.  We also touch on the relief that comes with knowing a deer has survived after being wounded.  Corey reflects on the emotional rollercoaster of missing the first shot, the determination to track the deer down, and ultimately, the satisfaction of a successful second chance. Congrats to Corey on an awesome second chance buck and good luck out there to everyone for the rest of the season!  Thanks for listening!

This week on the Missouri Woods & Water Podcast we get the chance to talk with Matt Winstead, Micah's brother, and his two sons Brennon (12) & Ryker (10) about an awesome story of a buck that one of the boys killed during Missouri's youth season.  Without telling the whole story, both of these young men had a crack at this awesome buck in back to back seasons, which makes it that much more memorable for them and their dad.  The boys did great on their first podcast and congratulations to them and their dad on yet another memory made in the deer woods.  Thanks for listening!

This week on the Missouri Woods & Water Podcast, Nate & Micah get a chance to sit down with some old friends of Micah's and talk about CWD from the perspective of a landowner.  Robin Belzer, Jacob Swisegood, and Skylar Jorgensen all hunt and own property that has been in a CWD zone since it has hit our great state and they have an interesting take on what they have seen and experienced since they started dealing with it a decade ago.  This show gives the listener a look into folks who have dealt with this since day one and their thoughts about it.  Right, wrong, or indifferent, their opinions are ones in which we think are important, as is everyone else's.  Thanks for tuning in.
