Gavin and Jon are joined by team member Tyler Wilbur to talk about his 2022 whitetail season. Tyler has grown up in Pennsylvania hunting mountain bucks and over the passed few years his #1 target buck is an old warrior at his hunting camp. Chasing this buck year after year never getting a crack at him and this year that all changed. Unfortunately Tyler put a shoulder shot on this giant Pennsylvania 8 point but hit a limb and deflected the arrow into the shoulder. We talk about bouncing back after putting a bad shot on a big buck and everything that comes with it. We always say you gotta hop right back in the saddle and get after it and that’s exactly what Tyler did to end his 3 year drought of shooting a buck with another 7 year old buck who was definitely a mountain warrior having broken his G3. Lots to talk about in this episode and quite a few rabbit holes but Tyler’s 2022 story is a wild one full of ups and downs but because he stayed persistent with a positive attitude, he was able to have a memorable and successful season!!

On this episode we switch it up and Jon and Tyler take over the hosting roles to talk about Gavin’s Kentucky public land buck he shot 4 days into his rutcation. This was Gavin’s first year hunting public land plus he was doing it out of state in Kentucky. He started scouting this swamp land marsh that is also river bottom and it makes for some unique whitetails. The first mature buck he got on camera was a beautiful 8 point he named “Seabiscuit” after hunting hard opening week and jumping this buck out of his bed on day 4 of our first hunting trip back in September, little did Gavin know he would come 30 yards eye to eye with this exact same buck over a month later in early November!! Gavin and Dylan’s week hunting public land in northern kentucky was better than we could have even imagined, seeing a different mature buck every single day we were there!! Thanks for listening to this episode and we hope you enjoy it and as always we truly appreciate all the support and love hearing from y’all and seeing the deer you killed this year!! Lots of season left so get out there and get after them because you can’t kill ‘em on the couch and the Bloodline Runs Deep!!

On this episode I’m joined by team member Jon Landwehr to talk about the Kansas Giant he put down with his Mathew’s v3 during the pre rut in early November!! Cellular cameras were a big aid to Jon killing this 180”+ Giant. We’ve been slacking on the podcast side because we’ve all been busy working and hunting during our rutcation. 3 team Bloodline bucks have hit the ground and more podcast to come very soon!!

I’m joined by my good buddy Chris Short once again on this episode and it’s just your good ol BS session with us basically catching up with each other and talking Whitetails. We cover a bunch in this episode about hunting public land and more so hunting public land during the pre rut and rut. Chris has been successful hunting big woods Whitetails his whole life and in the past couple years he’s mainly hunted public land in Southern Indiana. We stalk about trail cameras from where we hang them, to the batteries we put in them. It was a great time catching up with Chris and there’s a ton of good information in this episode that could be just what you need to help you out a buck on the ground this November!! Good luck to everyone hunting and make sure to always be safe and where your Tree Stand safety harness.

On this week of The Weekly Whitetail Report I’m joined by 4 guest that are hunting 4 completely different types of Whitetails.

1st guest is Tyler Wilbur who’s a team member on the Whitetail Bloodline. He’s hunting mountain Whitetails in Pennsylvania which is known for the large numbers of hunters which also brings some of the most pressure in the entire county. Lots of pre rut activity and it’s getting fired up in Pennsylvania leading into this week.

2nd guest is Angelo Giannoni who is also a Whitetail Bloodline Team and he lives in the concrete jungle of Chicago but spends his free type managing his newly bought property and chasing chasing Illinois farm country Whitetails. Angelo has been seeing a lot of pre rut sign and has seen young bucks chasing but is still waiting for it to hear up a bit but he knows any day things could shift and Whitetails could start getting into rut mode hardcore.

3rd guest is John Williams who hunts swamp bucks in the Georgia swamps!! He has already shot a great buck this year and with the new intel he just got, he is going after the biggest buck he has ever had on camera. Lots of pre rut activity in Georgia and deer are on the move but typically in mornings and at last light. John is very hopefully and the rut should getting rocking in his neck of the woods very soon.

Last but not least I get Jon Landwehr a Whitetail Bloodline Team member and talk central Kansas Whitetails with him. Kansas is getting fired up and Jon is starting to see a lot of bucks on their feet in daylight hours and has lots of bucks hitting scrapes right now. The next week will be a great time to be hunting Kansas Whitetails.

This was a great episode with a ton of information. If you’re hunting Midwest Whitetails you should be getting fired up because bucks are starting to chase, the first doe’s are going into their estrous cycles, rattling and grunt calls are a great tactic to use, hunting over active scrapes is a go to this week, hunting the down wind side of doe bedding is also a great option this time of year. Bucks will start hitting the ground like no other and Scrape Week is upon us so get out there and get after it because you can’t kill them on the couch!!

I’m joined by Jon “The Kansas King” as my co host and our guest is Iowa Hunter and outdoorsman Orlando Vivone. We talk about the buck he just shot in Iowa that he named “Freak Nasty” and that’s because he was a freak of a non typical whitetail. From having summer history with this buck, having him travel over a mile to two different permission properties, all the way to killing this giant mid west whitetail. This episode is a great one that you’ll enjoy about your average day hunter killing a once in a lifetime buck!!

On this weekend episode I’m joined by Tim Palmer from Pennsylvania, Austin Stone from Missouri/Kansas, and last but not least Drew from Central Wisconsin. This is the last week of October and bucks are starting to show pre rut activity and are starting to make scrapes and rubs a lot more frequently. Lots of bucks are starting to daylight so this week will probably be the calm before the storm but still great odds of getting a big mature buck on his feet during this last week of October leading into Halloween. Acorns are still hot through most of the country and a lot of the agricultural fields have been harvested so that’s also a primary food source for most of the Midwest. With the drought we’re having a water source is a great place to focus on this week if there isn’t an abundance of water in the area. The rut is just around the corner and the next cold front that rolls through should get things kicking and bucks should start cruising a lot more as the first few doe’s of the season start coming into their breeding cycle!! Weather isn’t the best this week but don’t let it discourage you because bucks will be moving this week even if the weather is undesirable. Thanks so much for listening to another episode, we truly appreciate all the support and good luck to everyone chasing Whitetails this week!!

This is our first episode of our new segment (Weekly Whitetail Report) I’m joined by 3 team members on this episode Jon from Kansas, Tyler from Pennsylvania, and Angelo from Illinois. We talk what we’re seeing right now from hunting, driving, and our trail cameras and what we’re expecting the next week of hunting. Scrapes and rubs are starting to pop up and bucks are starting to show up more on cameras. Things are starting to heat up and the pre rut is just around the corner!!!

I’m joined on this Episode by Lance Krueger who is a professional wildlife photographer that specializes in Whitetails and Wild Turkeys. We talk about how he got his start in photography and how it lead him to where he is today. Lance is arguably the best Whitetail photographer of all time and after the years of looking at his pictures he’s definitely got my vote. We talk about getting these pictures of these allusive whitetail bucks isn’t half as easy as most assume. He has figured out how to get up close and personal with these mature bucks year after year and if you’ve read been around whitetail magazines throughout the years, it’s almost certain that Lance was the man behind the camera on a couple of those Magazines covers. We also talk quite a bit about Texas Whitetails and how many of the ranches out there are letting bucks walk to many years past what most of the country would but after many decades of managing Whitetails they decided on a average a buck reaches his max potential antler size at 7 1/2 years old. We talk about the benefits and reason why many people throughout the country are letting bucks reach a much more mature age than ever in the United States history. I had a blast recording this episode and learned a bunch about photographing Whitetails and much more. We truly appreciate you tuning in for this episode and until next time, you can’t kill them on the couch.

We’re joined on this episode by the one and only Lee Ellis who is one of the founders of Seek One and has popularized “Door Knocking” for permission properties to hunt monster Whitetails on. If you don’t know who he is he’s well known for killing giant bucks in urban hunting zones (especially hunting Atlanta Georgia Suburbs. We get into the absolute giant buck he killed in Nashville on the opening day of Tennessee Archery season. He didn’t think this hunt was going to go down how it did and it just goes to show sometimes it’s better be lucky than good. We also talk about what’s new with Lee and what he’s getting into this season. One state he has been fired up to hunt is Kansas and he was already getting on great bucks at the beginning of the season and is itching to get back out there and chase beloved Kansas Whitetails. It was a great time recording this episode and getting to know Lee on more of a personal level. We truly appreciate everyone joining us for this episode and can’t wait to see what our second year of recoding this podcast takes us. Stay tuned bc we’re gonna more than likely get Lee back on for another episode to hopefully talk about the Kansas buck he just down this year!!
