On this podcast we chat with a Michigan bowhunter who would like to remain anonymous, about how to gain hunting rights on private property. We cover everything you need to know including how to locate the property, identifying the land owner, doing your research, and how to make a good first impression.

We go in to detail about how to dress, what to say, and how to find common ground with the property owner to increase your odds of getting permission. We also talk about past experiences dealing with trespassers, thieves, and how to properly handle those unfortunate scenarios.

On this episode of the Nine Finger Chronicles podcast, we chat with Oklahoma native, John Hudspeth, about growing up deer hunting on the Texas and Oklahoma boarder and the difference between Southern and Northern Texas.

We also discuss the terrain features he hunts and how he approaches them from a strategy stand point and the habitat improvements he has made and how he feels they will impact his farm for the upcoming seasons.

Last but not least, we talk about how he hunts downwind of feeders during the rut to hunt big bucks and how wild hogs are ruining the habitat and hunting opportunities.

Back again, my good friend Justin Zarr of Bowhunting.com and the Bowhunt or Die webshow stops by to discuss dedicating an entire season to a specific category of deer. We talk about passing younger deer in hopes of connecting on a mature buck, hunting for antler size, the risk of passing deer, and much more.

We then each share a story about what happens when we decided to pass small bucks to shoot bigger more mature bucks, and some of the downfalls to that style of hunting. We also chat about different phases we as hunters go though and what stage we are currently in. Last but not least, we talk about the feeling that we experience when someone else shoots a buck you have been hunting for several years.

We start out this show with a short interview with my 5 year old daughter about hunting and fishing. Then, the rest of the show is dedicated to a conversation with Shannon Long of Ohio about how he harvested a Boone & Crockett whitetail buck on a 20 acre farm with no cover and very few trees.

We discuss how he found a buck he named "Lucifer" shed antlers, used a wireless trail camera to watch his movement, and used the help of a ground blind to help him seal the deal on the biggest buck he has ever shot. Dedication and patience were the keys to his success.

Aside from the data, we discuss our personal thoughts on what we think is driving theses reduced numbers and what we think needs to be done to turn the tides to sustain our hunting tradition.
