In this special Deer IQ podcast episode Part 2, we discuss the harsh lessons and what all hunters can possibly take away from my interview with CJ Alexander and the poaching of a huge Ohio buck. We reveal our hunter survey and the surprising results of just how many would do the same, and what that may mean. It's an honest conversation of hunter ethics, and how to safeguard yourself from falling into the traps that ensnare far too many hunters.

• How many hunters would consider poaching a trophy whitetail?
• How we hunters view each other, and possibly why we have these inflated perceptions.
• How Manni kept himself from poaching a world-class buck.
• The overlooked factors that led to poor choices in the CJ case.
• What every hunter should think about to make sure they don't become a statistic.

In this special Deer IQ podcast episode we have a frank discussion about an often glossed over topic - hunter ethics, within the context of a case we all probably know - the poaching of the world-class CJ Alexander buck. In this exclusive post-conviction interview with CJ, we

• Peel back the curtain on what actually happened and he opens up and shares the true story of this buck (not the made-up one) - including untold details of taking it and never before seen video footage.
• He reveals how he found this deer, what drove him to pursue it relentless despite the risk (that’s a little different than some have said).
• Things he says were portrayed in a wrong light by the DNR.
• Why he continued to tell a lie to the public even after confessing to DNR officers.
• Just what he was thinking as this charade unfolded in front of the whole country.
Unforeseen consequences and BIG regrets he has.
• What he plans to do moving forward to hopefully right a wrong.

It’s a conversation full of lessons we all can learn from so hopefully mistakes like this can be avoided in the future by others. Here’s my exclusive interview with CJ Alexander.
