On this episode, we're visiting with our good friend Michael Perry to discuss the conditions heading into the 2025 deer season. Unlike last year, much of the country is getting more than enough rain and the mast crops in many areas is looking strong! Michael has tagged some of his largest bucks in years similar to this, so here he gives us a rundown of what to expect this season, and what you can be doing now to take maximum advantage of the good conditions.

“You can know all this stuff and still not be a killer. You’ve got to put yourself in position over and over again and be willing to blow it and keep learning. That’s what a good predator does.” - Jim Forbes

In this throwback episode, we are bringing EP. 190 back to the top of the feed! In this episode, we interview Jim Forbes, a highly successful mountain buck hunter from Virginia.

Jim has kept a journal of all his hunters for 30+ years. Over the years he has identified what it is that makes him successful and keeps doubling down on it. Jim puts a ton of focus on being a good predator and using woodsmanship.

This is an all-time favorite episode of ours! Y'all enjoy.
