This is the first of the Rut Roundup shows for the 2016 deer season. In this show we are going to talk to two different people who use our methods for taking deer over scrapes. These tactics when properly used can be a powerful tool in bringing mature deer into your hunting site. We will talk to Matt Stockton and a man known only as Will (no last name) These two guys shot great deer in the key days of the rut with one of them having a twist to the harvest! Thank You to our listeners!

The Hunt Fish Journal is a educational podcast hosted by Greg Barnhart, Dan Stapleton and Jerry Everhart with a passion for promoting archery, hunting and fishing in the great outdoors.
    Greg Barnhart is a custom wood worker with a great love of the outdoors, hunting and fishing.  Greg started shooting archery around 14 years of age and was fascinated with the flight of the arrow from his youth. Greg started Deer hunting in 1978 in the Wayne National Forest in Southern Ohio. Greg is an avid Bass fisherman who has waded the Stillwater, Mad, Little Miami and the Great Miami rivers as well as the Twin Creek. Fishing the reservoirs, rivers and lakes all over Ohio in his early years kindled a fire for Bass fishing that continues to this day.  
Dan Stapleton is the owner of Dan's Sport Shop in Camden, Ohio. Dan has over 35 years deer hunting experience, and is a Master Bowyer with over 25 years of experience. Dan has traveled to many destinations and fished for many species of fish. Dan's favorite is Crappie Fishing. Dan's Sport Shop is a full-line archery pro shop with indoor shooting lanes.
Jerry Everhart is an accomplished deer and Turkey hunter and a great fisherman. Jerry’s experience in harvesting big bucks has been a passion of his for more than 40 years, taking more big bucks than the average hunter with his proven Scrape Methods during the rut.
We hope you find this pod cast insightful and entertaining.

Welcome to this fourth show of the Rut Roundup with Robert Bourn. Robert started listening to the podcast and gained a better understanding on how to make scrapes work for the deer hunter. Robert started using the scrapes and licking branch method that we've been sharing on our show since October 2010. Robert then came to the 2018 Rut Workshop in Eaton Ohio, and while we here at the Hunt Fish Journal had no knowledge of his success, Robert reached out last season to inform us on how well he's been doing. We hope you too will hear what Robert is sharing in this show and will implement this powerful method to start building your trophy wall.  "Special thank you to Robert Bourn for taking the time to do this show" Trail & Scrape Deer Scent and the Key days are available over at www.huntersblendcoffee.com  

Rut Roundup 2020 With Robert Bourn HFJ No.196

Welcome back to the Rut Roundup! This week we talk to Jason Plank from Pennsylvania on how his season went last fall. Jason discovered the Hunt Fish Journal 2 years ago and here's what he wrote, "Hey Greg, Just wanted to update you since are last correspondence.  I had incorporated scrapes and linking branches at two of my sites.  They were not set up exactly as you guys teach and I didn't even have a stand or blind at one of my sites.  The property is up for sale and I wasn't sure what was going to happen, so I didn't hang a stand.  I did however stay out of there except for running the scrapes. This past weekend, I decided to hunt one of the stands in the afternoon  I was sitting on the ground with a ghillie suit.  I saw 1 doe about an hour before dark.  The wind was swirling and she smelled something but didn't take off.  She just walked down through the woods instead of staying on the trail.  Then about 20 min. before last shooting light, this buck walked in with his nose to the ground.  He hit the trail and headed to the second scrape I had set up.  When he hit my opening, he gave me a 20 yd shot.  Next year, I will have some stands set up with the method that you guys are teaching.  I have not used mach scrapes a lot in the past, but do believe in them.  I think thats what attracted me to your method."   We here at the HFJ like hearing from all you guys and bringing you on the shows to tell your success stories around the Rut Functional Hunt Method.   Thank you to all our listeners and special thank you to Jason Plank for taking the time to do this show!!
