Just some tips from a regular dude on mentally and physically survining the grind of the Rut. MTV the Grind.

I talk with Joe Hardy, a guy I met hunting the farm I got access to this year. He tells the story of killing a nice wide 8 this year on the farm and a 170 in Ohio years ago.

Hey everyone, welcome back to the show! Today I've got a handful of topics I'm really excited to dive into. First off, I'm going to share a little story about the Kentucky buck I just took down and what that experience was like. Then we're going to get into some really cool science about how deer actually see those rubs glowing in the dark and what that means for us as hunters.

I'll also chat a bit about how deer sleep in shifts, which is a pretty fascinating piece of behavior that might explain a few things out in the woods. And as we move into late October and November, we're going to talk about that shift in food sources as the rut kicks in and how bucks start to roam. Finally, I'll share my thoughts on going back to square one on public land, doing those blind sits without any cameras and just relying on woodsmanship. So stick around—it's going to be a fun and hopefully informative ride!

Wanted to take a couple minutes and update everyone on how my season is going so far.

Today, we're checking in with Travis Melochick of Anthracite Antler Addicts- a diehard Pennsylvania hunter with a deep understanding of mature buck behavior. In this epicsode, we dive into a full season strategy breakdown from earlyu season movement to rut funnel stand locations. We talk trail camera placement, how to leverage water access to stay undetected, and the power of historical data to pattern this years bucks before they even know you're in the woods.

Today we are honored to sit down with Jimmy and Phillip from EZ Fishin Guide Services- two seasoned outdoorsmen with a deep passion for the land, the water, and the tradition of the hunt. We cover a lot of ground from predator control, and the challenges of coyote hunting, to the pursuit of spring gobblers during turkey season. We'll explore the thrill of morel mushroom hunting, the craftmanship of woodworking and making box calls, and of course the ins and outs of fishing for everything from catfish and smallmouth bass to trout, crappie and fly fishing tactics.

This episode Lucas Howell joins to talk about being tagged out in Tennesee.
