Ethan Stubbs is a big buck enthusiast. He loves the chase of finding and hunting mature whitetails, and telling the story through amazing footage and editing. He's one of the best in the business when it comes to self filming and quality content.

One of the best things about hunting is that you get to do it your way. Unfortunately, in today's social media driven world, we've let outside influences have to much control over how we hunt. It's time we got back to how it used to be. Hunt for yourself and no one else. Unapologetically. It's not selfish, or inconsiderate, it's preservation. Don't let anyone take away from you what hunting can be.

For some reason, people in hunting media and content creation love to give poachers a platform. Especially when they kill big deer. Illegally. The reason is actually fairly obvious. It's all for clicks. We need to stop though. It's damaging to hunting, hunting culture, and the guys and gals who do it the right way. That's what the guys are talking about this week. Let us know what you think.

Steve Sherk is undeniably one of the good guys in the industry. He's also undeniably a public land, big woods, big buck killer. Steve has a wealth of knowledge on big buck behavior and how to get them on the ground. He runs over 180 trail cameras for his guide service, spends 300+ days in the woods every year, and has been guiding hunts for a long time. There are few people with more experience and data points than Steve when it comes to the type of hunting he does. He also writes for North American Whitetail and loves to share his knowledge whenever and wherever possible.

This week, we talked about the biggest factors in deer movement patterns, where to find big bucks throughout the year, and how he keeps and uses his trail camera data.

For more on Steve, check out episodes 19, 71, 100, and 137.

We've got a bit of a throwback episode this week, as Canyon dives into an article from North American Whitetail. Specifically, one from Steve Sherk called "Don't Miss Deer Days." These are the weather events that make for the best days of the season to kill big bucks. Hope this helps this fall!
