Today on the podcast we get to listen to QDMA's Matt Ross and his vast knowledge of all things deer.  We especially focus on the natural things deer eat such as forbes, browse, and mast.  Wether you're a newbie or a vet, there is something to be learned for just about everybody.

To skip the small talk, FF to 21:50

You don't wanna miss this one! Tons of great info per Zach Ferenbaugh and his public land crew in Iowa.  Lots of laughs go down when two long-haired hippies and a 'hawked up rockstar get to talking big bucks. Beds, river crossings, transition, mature buck habits, trail camera thoughts, and summer scouting are just the beginning of what we discuss.

Today, we are a somewhat stressed out, a little “TICKED”, and a tad but discombobulated. The Rockies were good to us, but now it's time to get back to reality. The work grind and the whitetail grind, that’s what it's all about until opening day. Thinking about hunting mature bucks this fall has got us going crazy! We are wired up and can't wait to come to full draw on a trophy public land deer. Trail cameras, tree stands, and archery practice; There is still a ton to do and more we can learn, but the season is coming quick!

Tyler tells about his recent family vacay to Rocky Mountain National Park, and the stories of clear cool waters and countless wildlife is almost too much to “bear.” We dropped a TON of cool pics from our trout fishing escapades on Social media this week, so check them out!

Today on the show, we discuss our recent trip to the incredible Black Canyon of the Gunnison. This is a place where the backcountry can leave you longing for more and also seeking refuge at the same time. There are no words to truly describe its beauty, nor can any photo accurately show its grandeur.

And oh yeah.... We hit the Salmonfly hatch. The dry fly action was AWESOME! This was the best fly fishing either of us have experienced. 

Our minds are on whitetail deer, so it didn't take us long to get to checking game cameras. Tyler has video of three big mature bucks that have us PUMPED for the season to get here! Our hit list is coming together quickly. We also talk about K.C.'s new trail running/hiking boots that he hopes will help him seal the deal on another big bull elk this fall.
