When have you ever seen a deer pee on a tree? We guarantee the answer is never.  Deer communicated with in a much different way, glandular scents. Scrapes and rubs have a much deeper meaning than most hunters think. From does in heat, to summer bucks returning to their fall areas, to the middle of the rut, whitetails use their glands everywhere. We take an in-depth dive to the world of whitetail glands and why they use them for communication. We give you a look into how these glands produce scent, as well as dive into our own glandular scents. The hunting game has changed. 

Day in and day out we have absolute beasts in the hunting industry. There are some hunters consistently putting their tags on record setting animals every season.What make them different from you? Does time make you a great hunter, is it your knowledge of the animal you're hunting, or is it strictly you drive? We have had success for many years and still wonder what the answer is. We broke down our own knowledge to come up with an opinion on what truly may set those record holders apart from the rest of the hunting world. 

Well you did it, you shot your target buck or bull! They take off like a bat out of hell and you lose sight of them. You need to start your search, but where do you start? We have all heard the myths about "just start heading to water and you'll find him", or "they won't go up hill". Some people even say "only gut shot animals go to water". Well what if we told you that isn't always the case. In this episode we break down as many myths about recovering your animal as we can. We dive into our own recoveries on both deer and elk and how they busted those myths. 

All three of us have hunted private and public ground with success. Like all of you, we have faced the challenges as well. You can still find ways to get permission on private ground. You can still kill big bucks and bulls on public ground just as you can on private land. All your success comes from the work you put in on the opportunities you get. On this episode we dive into our knowledge of hunting both private and public ground, how you can still gain access to private ground, and how to still be successful no matter where you hunt. 

Why are you not finding your deer? Simple, you are not taking the best shot. You have confidence in your shot, but it doesn't hit the right spot, or you take a shot you know you shouldn't have taken. Sometimes you may not even know what you are actually hitting on the animal. We'll talk about the misconception of the shoulder as well as the anatomy of big game animals. We want to help you understand your shot placement and animal behavior as best you can to bring you the most success possible!

We all have that friend who spends day in a day out prepping for the season. It can be fun and it can be a lot of time spent in the field looking for your big bucks. When you take a look at the end result, is the hunting season worth the summer preparation?  

The vast majority of hunters use some sort of trail camera, whether you are hunting out west or in the timber. We love seeing our big boys pop up on those SD cards. Cell cams make that feeling even better! You can get a picture of a big buck sent to you in a matter of second. Hunters are getting more of an advantage over big game animals. We break down our opinions on how using a cell cam is cheating! Who's side are you on?

Whether it is the middle of the season, the end of summer, or even the harshness of winter, trailcams are a part of the hunting game. You check them to get an inventory on your deer and to see how and when they are moving. However, is that possibly putting pressure on them and messing with your hunt? On this episode we breakdown our opinions on how you should check your trailcams as a hunter, and what good pressure on your bucks can look like!

It's pretty common for broadheads to cause an argument among bowhunters. Lately there seems to be a lot of discussion claiming mechanical broadheads are a bad option. From our personal experience we would have to disagree. In this podcast we cover our thoughts on why Mechanical Broadheads don't suck!
