Wisconsin's archery deer season has been in for a couple of weeks now. Hunting is getting tougher as deer begin to shift to different food sources as well shift to thicker, more remote cover due to hunting pressure. In this episode of the Wisconsin Sportsman podcast, Josh and Pierce recount their hunts so far this season, including their most recent hunt together at Pierce's place. Then the guys get into the important stuff, like whether Pierce should have shot the buck he passed last week. For Josh, that deer was a shooter all day, every day. What do you think? Go check it out on Instagram and let the guys know in the comments what YOU would have done.

Deer hunting is about a lot more than tagging big bucks. It's about a love for the chase. It's about growing our woodsmanship skills. It's about fostering the connection to our food. And it's about camaraderie. To celebrate deer hunting's rich deer camp tradition, several hosts of different Sportsmen's Empire Podcast Network shows from around the country will join Josh each week for fun, relaxed deer camp conversation.

Follow along as the guys update each other on recent sightings and deer activity, share strategies they're employing to get on deer, and just enjoy a relaxed deer camp atmosphere.

Johnny identifies the top factors and locations to find and hunt mature bucks. Johnny evaluates nighttime and daytime areas and why big bucks use specific areas and how to evaluate trail camera data. 

Steve and Johnny discuss how to anticipate other public land hunters and how they have had to evolve their strategies around these newly found or experienced hunters on the landscape. Jon explains how the tactics talked about apply to both public and private landowners, and how the approaches set up a foundational strategy that will help hunter’s find success. Johnny discusses why deer select certain areas and when to be more aggressive.

Johnny and Steve discuss rut hunting strategies and why Johnny isn’t so concerned with bumping deer while scouting. Johnny describes why hunting out of a tree isn’t as productive as scouting and how he puts together his plan to capitalize and execute on deer he is seeking out.  Steve discusses how he continues to scout and patterns that are annual are not always to be relied upon.

The 2022 Oklahoma hunting season is underway! To celebrate, we have a very special guest this week on the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast. Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation Director J.D. Strong joins John to talk about all things big game. Right out of the gate the two tackle one of the big issues creeping up on Oklahoma and surrounding states, chronic wasting disease aka CWD. JD outlines what the state is doing to combat a potential spread of the disease, and also talks about some best practices for people to implement to help keep our deer herd safe. 

After the CWD talk, the conversation takes a much more light hearted turn. The guys talk about the state's two elk herds and how the state tries to manage them on both private and public land. Black bears are also a topic of conversation and JD discusses the growth of Oklahomas population and why the state manages the hunting seasons the way that they do. 

You can't talk about Oklahoma big game without spending some time on white tail deer. John asks the controversial "one buck vs two buck" question and JD offers some very insightful responses. JD also talks about the states mule deer population and how it can be challenging to manage such a small and varying herd on the edge of its natural range.
