On this episode of The Nomadic Outdoorsman Dan talks with Missouri native Levi Rightnowar about his passion for chasing America’s number one big game animal.

Levi is an avid hunter that has had a passion for the outdoors for as long as he can remember. He killed his first deer at 6 years old and has harvested at least one every year since. Levi has been sitting in the woods with his dad since 3 years old which is where the addiction for whitetail started for him. Even during turkey season Levi finds himself looking at travel routes, pinch points, and bedding for deer while walking around. Levi had spent his entire life having only hunted public land with the exception of a few rifle hunts on his grandparents 60 acre farm. Levi is a plumber by trade and his busy schedule keeps him out of the woods throughout the week but he hardly ever misses a weekend. Levi’s family has a small cabin in the middle of 4,000 acres of public land. Rifle season is like a holiday for him and his family. Levi and his friends recently started JAK’D outdoors and an outdoor podcast called The Relatable Outdoorsmen. Dan and Levi talk about everything Missouri has to offer.

Much of the content of this podcast, and many others, is focused on getting you a shot opportunity on a whitetail deer. But once you've taken the shot, what now? There's good news and bad news here. The bad news is once the shot is fired, you can't control anything about the flight of your chosen projectile, the reaction of the animal, or the quality of the hit. The good news is, after the shot is fired, there are a lot of things you can make sure to execute perfectly to give you the best odds of recovering your deer.

In this episode of the How to Hunt Deer podcast, Josh talks with Shane Simpson about what to do after the shot and how to blood trail your deer. Shane is an avid hunter, and each fall, he undertakes lots of tracks with his dog Callie. Over the years, Shane has learned a thing or two about about blood trailing deer, like what you should do immediately after the shot, best practices when it comes to taking up the trail, and when to call in the help of a dog to track your deer. This episode is packed with info that will help you be more successful this fall. 

If you’re not familiar with Shane, go check out his Youtube channel, Shane Simpson Hunting, where you can find videos of him tracking with Callie, his deer hunts, and a ton of turkey hunting content as well.

On this episode of the Nine Finger Chronicles, Dan talks with Skip Sligh, owner of the Iowa Whitetail forum. The guys discuss what makes Iowa a great deer hunting state. Skip gives his raw and unfiltered opinion about some of the deer hunting rules and regulations that allow the Iowa deer herd thrive and for bucks to get to a higher age class. On the opposite side, Skip talks about some of the proposed regulations that would more than likely be a detriment to the heard like the introduction of crossbow hunting, non-resident land owner tag allocation, and always present fight with law makers, lobbyists, and special interest groups. 

Iowa is the mecca for big bucks and outstanding deer hunting, if we start to mess with that equation, things will change, and unless you are a land owner hunting access will become harder and harder. Not to mention the slide in deer herd. This is an excellent episode, that may be hard to swallow for some of you. Are you happy with the rules and regulations in your state?

This week the guys are honored to have Mr. Doug Duren on the show. Doug is an experienced land manager from Wisconsin. Doug’s been in the heart of the CWD outbreak in Wisconsin, but has also dedicated a large amount of his time to help teach others about land management. Being a good Midwestern guy, many of Doug’s messages hit home here in Ohio. 

Paul and Andrew have been VERY busy getting geared up for the fall. Paul is inching his way up the tree in his saddle as he grows more and more comfortable with the set up. With Andrew as his mentor, he may make it to 12 feet off the ground this fall! Both of the guys met up with the crew from GoWild to do some walleye fishing up on Lake Erie over the past weekend. The trip was great and something that should be on every Ohio Outdoorsmen’s to do list each year! Enjoy the show, and make sure to check out some of the additional lottery hunts that the State of Ohio has opened up!!!
