In this episode we cover Ben's season so far and dive into a few tactics on each of his 3 buck tags filled (Ohio, Illinois, and Kansas). Ben gives some insight on hunting right now and the next few days of Post-rut behavior.

We will be at the Iowa Deer Classic in Des Moines, Iowa. March 6 - 8, 2026. Hosting two different seminars there. 1 - Primary vs Secondary Zones. 2 - Utilizing Doe Groups to Target Bucks

We had the privilege to sit down with Skip Sligh of Iowa Whitetails and Kevin Mullet. Skip is pretty much a walking encyclopedia when it comes to bow hunting and managing for big bucks in the Midwest. His take on the trajectory of Ohio's deer herd and bow hunting in general is eye opening. We also questioned him on his favorite ways to get on a target buck and what he sees for the future of land prices across the midwest.

In this episode of the Whitetail Edge Podcast, Ben and Javin sit down in their new Ohio Taxidermy Supply office to catch up after a busy summer. From chasing surprise target bucks and dealing with changing deer patterns, to battling weeds in food plots, they cover the highs and lows of preseason prep. The guys share their thoughts on new Stealth Cam innovations, the Novix ownership news, and Muddy’s impressive new DV8 apparel line. There’s also heartfelt conversation about young Cairo’s inspiring journey, plus practical tips for camera placement, hunting acorn patterns, and setting up for early season success. Whether you’re here for the big buck talk, gear reviews, or just to hang out, this episode is packed with the real-life hunting lifestyle.

Cairo, a beautiful young lady, sits down with Ben and shares her story of pain and suffering, but then also hope and submission and what she’s learned that she wants to share with us all to help others dealing with a terminally ill disease or bad news. Her mom and dad are also in the podcast and give some great insight as to what the situation is like. There’s something to be learned for all of us listening to this. This has nothing to do with deer hunting even though her dad Joe, a friend of Ben’s is an Avid outdoorsman, what we all can learn from this is way more important than chasing any big buck.

For anybody that wants to follow along with their story or support their family, you can find them on the Finding Serenity Facebook page.

On episode 33 of the Whitetail Edge Podcast we're joined by Lincoln Rohn, owner of Packer Maxx. The Packer Maxx is a portable solution for cultipacking food plots without needing to lug a traditional heavy cultipacker to or around your farm. You can load and move it around by hand, then fill it with water when you're ready to compact the soil. We discus deer hunting and Lincolns hunting experiences in Michigan, deer scrapes, water holes for deer, living a Christian life, addictions, and more. For more details on a Packer Maxx, check them out here. https://packermaxx.comOr connect with Lincoln on his YouTube channel here .
