Anthony Heller, the host of Deervane Podcast, joins us to discuss hunting in mid-October, known to some people as "the October lull". 

We discuss whether or not deer actually stop moving or go nocturnal during this time, finding bedding areas, dealing with sweaty feet, and we also discuss Jared and James' liquid ass incident.

In this episode, we got to chat with Shane Butnari.  Shane is a biologist out of Ontario and he graciously walked us through everything botany and deer hunting.  We've found that most hunters know shockingly little about deer browse and that people often miss these little known deer munching secrets!
