In what seems like the blink of an eye, the "peak" days of rut hunting have come and gone. That's not to say there's not still plenty of time to get it done, but for many in the midwest, the last week of October and first two weeks of November are the pinnacle of the deer hunting. With this magical time period behind us, it's time to discuss the ups, downs, and all the little things bow hunting whitetails can teach us about our quarry, and ourselves. 

In this episode of the Wisconsin Sportsman Podcast, Josh and Pierce recap their rut hunting so far, and Josh shares the story of his 2023 archery buck.

Cort Travis is back on the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast this week with another great story. Some of you may remember Cort as the Oklahoma State University student who killed a 200" buck a few years ago. While this one wasn't quite that good, he is still a heck of a buck and has a heck of a story to go with it. And while two big whitetails are great, the bigger lesson in this episode is that no matter your financial situation, with a little hard work, you too can have a chance at some great hunting opportunities.

Cort's first buck came after getting permission to hunt some land owned by his landlord, and this second buck came from that same property. Being a college student, and now freshly out of college and trying to make a living in this crazy world, Cort didn't have a lot of extra cash laying around to pay for a lease. Instead of giving up or just not hunting however, Cort rolled up his sleeves and made a deal with the land owner to work around the property in exchange for hunting rights. Doing odd jobs and helping work cattle has earned Cort the right to hunt a great property and harvest two fantastic whitetail deer.

Today’s show opens with us talking about the upcoming cold front creeping in. We all can not wait until the weather is dropping and we’ll all be in the woods as soon as possible. Hopefully the coming dip in temperature makes the big deer move. We then pivot to Brad telling us about his recent podcasting experience with Matt Rinella. Him and Matt sit down to debate social media and its place in the hunting industry. One of the biggest discussions they had was over land usage in both private and public land. Listen in to this episode Sponsored by GunBroker.com to hear Brad dive into some of the topics he covered during his time on the podcast with Matt Rinella.

Brad talks about the power of social media in the outdoor industry. While it can definitely be shown in an unfavorable light he believes social media plays a huge role in educating non-hunters about hunting. Anti-hunting groups have become experts in social media and using it against the hunting industry oftentimes leading the general population wrong by using catchy content to sway uninformed people their direction. We talk about how we can get people into hunting without having to post grip and grin photos after a successful hunt. How do you guys feel about social media use when related to hunting? Make sure to check out this episode to listen to our conversation on keeping the hunting industry in good favor with the non-hunting public.

On this week's Deer Season Special bonus episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman, Mitch is joined by long time friend Travis Bailey. Mitch and Travis grew up hunting deer and small game together. We take a trip down memory lane and revisit the story of a buck Travis harvested in 2013 after following along for 3 seasons. Travis shares that the first two years of trail camera inventory felt like he was hunting a ghost. He had one late season encounter with the buck in year 1, but chose to pass as the deer had shed one of his antlers.

The story ramps up when in year 3 the camera inventory drastically picks up, as the amount of daylight images increased providing hope. After harvesting the buck, Mitch and Travis discuss what it was like for each of them to achieve a high level hunting goal of killing a big mature buck of this caliber. While another deer this size may happen again in the future, the areas we hunt in Pennsylvania don't have this class animal behind every tree each season. The guys discuss recalibrating their hunting goals and expectations. This includes a change in hunting scenery, as Travis shares a new passion of hunting bucks on the public land mountains near his home. This story is one for the record books, enjoy!
