Every year, around this same time, stories start showing up in my news feed about hunters who have fallen from a deer stand. Some only result in minor injuries, while others end with a family burying a loved one. On this week's episode of the Deer Season 365 podcast, we talk with treestand fall survivor, Justin Lanclos, about his harrowing ordeal, along with Glen Mayhew of the Treestand Safety Awareness Foundation about fall statistics and prevention. This is an episode every deer hunter needs to hear.

In this week's Deer Season 365 podcast episode, we're talking with Terry Kerns of Edgewood Meat Locker all about deer processing. Not so much how to process your deer, but more about how to handle your deer in the field prior to having it processed. We also dive into common questions hunters have about deer processing, like whether the meat they get is actually their deer, and why it may seem like you're not getting as much venison back as you should. Learn the answers to these questions and more by giving this week's episode a listen!
