Today’s show opens with Dan diving into his recent camping and hunting trip to Land Between the Lakes. He has been scouting this place all Fall leading up to the opener of rifle season with quite a few really nice bucks on camera. He covers his entire trip including what deer he saw and why he passed on certain ones. He put some Tink’s Bombs out to hopefully attract a nice mature buck and immediately saw a few does, leading him to believe he was definitely in the right spot. Be sure to tune in to this episode Sponsored by GunBroker.com to hear exactly how his hunt came out.

Next up a little excitement, Arica gets a trail cam photo of a very nice buck while we were in the middle of filming this episode! She has quite a few nice bucks that she’s after this season but unfortunately this one cruised by while she wasn’t in the stand. She then dives into her recent hunting story about having a really nice buck come in while she’s on the stand – in bow range! You’ll have to listen in to hear what played out.!

Closing out Brayden dives into going out to deer camp with Tucker. The morning seemed to be full of deer movement with him hearing a good bit of shots on the public land bordering next to them. Tucker ended up having some success with a buck that he and Brayden then had to drag back out before cleaning because they didn’t want to ruin the area for the next day! He ended up going to a different spot the next day and enjoyed all the luxuries of a ladder stand that he hasn’t enjoyed in some while due to mostly bow hunting. He settled in nice and comfortable and before he knew it he could hear deer coming through the woods to him. He had some success very quickly, but you won’t believe how it turned out! The last trip out into the woods he saw a really nice buck that moved through a little too quickly, but thankfully went right over to Tucker and his dad, the buck was shot but the tracking job got a little complicated!

On today’s show with GunBroker.com, we’re talking one of the most controversial rounds out today – the 6.5 Creedmoor, with both Chris Powell from Houndsman XP Podcast and Rick Larnerd from Gobbler Knob Long Rifles. No matter what side of the fence you sit on pertaining to the 6.5, we may make you mad by the end of this episode! Starting off, Allen goes into a little background on the 6.5, its creation, and how it got to where it is today. Out of the gate, the 6.5 was touted mostly as a long distance paper punching round, but not very much beyond that. Well, Hornady got their hands on it and flipped that stigma on its head. Listen in to this episode presented by GunBroker.com to hear our entire in-depth conversation on the 6.5 Creedmoor.

Up next, Logan dives into the 6.5 even being used for plains game over in Africa, to be clear, for the smaller plains game, definitely not most of the larger ones! We get into how people feel about taking elk with the 6.5, with the general consensus being that the .30 caliber cartridges still reign supreme there, however it is most definitely something that you can do. We go over long range shooting with one of the biggest caveats on the 6.5 being some people overlook shot placement because they believe the 6.5 is the magic round, which may be a large reason why the 6.5 receives so much criticism.

Closing out we go over everyone’s first rifle cartridge, with a few very interesting answers from the crew! We also debate how the 6.5 managed to blow up to be as popular as it is today. From launch, the 6.5 seemed to have the perfect storm for success, and in many ways it most certainly has been. We also go over some other rounds that may be the next sleeper round to blow up like the 6.5 Creedmoor. Do you think the 6.5 Creedmoor is just a fad or around for the long haul?

On this episode of Huntavore, Nick and his buddies have a standing tradition of a one night only deer camp at a cabin in the woods.  The night is as much about getting together as it is actually hunting for deer.  Hitting whitetail season hard in archery, the more social and less stressful feel of firearm season is a reprieve.  Along with a healthy dose of beer and booze, the food spread is always a winner.  This year, the archery killed deer hearts were marinated and seared for tacos.  New adds were bear sausage and backstrap from Mitchell Shirk, and wild boar bacon.  All were huge wins with the crew.  The second event was a needed cut night at Huntavore HQ.  5 does taken by the group, and lots of processing was needed.  Each guy had a set plan for how they wanted their deer done.  Some wanted more roasts and steaks, and others wanted mostly ground material for sticks and sausage.  I kept my deer back for cutting with my son, and more “fancy” cuts.  The experience of cut night is both an amazing night of fun and laughs, but also a bit of slip in quality of cutting.  It's a balancing act, you want to get the most out of the harvest, but you also want to harvest as much of the fun as possible.

Today’s show opens with Arica’s recent hunting expenditures. It’s been a little slow go but on a recent hunt for the first time ever she heard a buck grunting coming through the woods. Heart pounding excitement kicked in as she heard him coming closer through the woods. A doe walked right past her so she’s super excited waiting on this buck to come right through where the doe did. The buck grunting edges closer through the woods and finally comes to light – unfortunately it’s a button buck!! She sat for a while longer when she heard some more rustling coming through the woods, make sure to tune into this episode sponsored by GunBroker.com!

Next up Brayden talks about his recent hunting trip with Phil on a private farm that really just wants them to take some deer off of it. After tree hopping for a while he finally got settled in when not long after he got a text from Phil that a buck was coming across the field. Brayden drug some Tink’s 69 on the way in and Phil’s buck came in right on a line following the trail. Phil let an arrow fly on this buck and got a good blood trail to start with. Unfortunately, it started to dry up as the trail went on, all the way up to a neighboring property. He let it set overnight and after connecting with the land owner next door he continued his search but unfortunately came up empty handed.

Jacob covers a whole week of outdoor stories that he’s had the pleasure to collect here lately. His first story goes in depth of him chasing whitetail during bow season. The absolute perfect scenario comes to fruition with a really nice 8-point working a scrape line directly up to him. He drew back and…you’ll have to tune in to this episode to hear exactly what happened! He also spent some time in North Carolina on a fishing trip at Deep Creek in Great Smoky Mountain National Park. They had some awesome success starting with a nice brown trout and a few smaller ones as well. Fishing clear water creeks, he got some awesome fishing knocked out on this trip with some real trophy fish being reeled in. Circling back to whitetail he goes over his exciting weekend back chasing whitetail during rifle opener.

Closing out Derek dives into his recent hunting expenditures chasing whitetail. He let a really solid buck walk on opening day that he’s hoping he doesn’t regret later in the season. He gives a great description of his hunting spot to set the scene on just how close he let this deer walk for a second time a few days later! After spending some time watching a small forky chasing a doe back and forth a real nice buck makes his appearance. Make sure to tune in to this episode to hear how his hunt turned out!
