I sit down for an update of where I am preseason and also something which I think many can relate to - the mindset of the hunter we are.

Do we spend far too much time focused on what we don't have, and miss the opportunities infront of us?

Honestly, it's that time of year where so many are tricked into wasting tons of money on junk seed....when there is no excuse to be ignorant.

Folks complicate everything these days...food plots do not have to be one of them. I share five quick thoughts on this episode that all should remember this fall food plotting season:

*Think about tossing soybeans in as well is touched on.

Let's delve into the second of four items I shared in an October social media posting - that small property owners should above all else prioritize.

This episode (and three more) were triggered by an October 2023 posting which shared that there are four things that despite all the unique traits and situational difference properties can have; these four things will never fail a property owner in finding success should they focus on these four.

This is especially crucial on small properties.

Let's revisit a social media post I made about a mistake I see many hunters make early season, and why I don't think it deserved nearly the blowback it got.

Few days prior I shared a short video requesting everyone ask themselves one question whenever they hear someone in the hunting industry speak on a product, tool or thought - "Is what they're saying being influenced by money?"

Such a simple thought, yet some were quite riled up thinking I was discussing them specifically and wanted to know why I didn't just private message them. 

Let's unpack that some and I share some of my plans for 2023 as I begin an overhaul of the 22.

In this episode I discuss one of the yearly topics which gets emailed in, or prompted on various platforms across numerous locations...."How do I go about killing a good buck in the early season?"

This is Part 6 of 6 planned podcasts discussing the "perfect" property pyramid. This pyramid lays out what 5 aspects/traits of a property I feel I've seen in or on every property I know has yielded sustained success for hunters chasing not just whitetail deer, but bucks that sit in that top 15% or so of their localized deer herd's age bracket.

This episode we will discuss THE MOST IMPORTANT THING above all else for properties: SECURITY. If you fail to strive and achieve a property with security for the deer, NOTHING ELSE MATTERS.

This episode we will discuss Entrance & Exits (one of the bottom parts of the pyramid), which happens to be arguably the #1 thing I see destroying properties the most.
