Gavin and Dylan are on this episode and it’s the 1 year anniversary of the podcast!! We talk about “The Farm” property and the 3 years of hunting it. We’ve been chasing a buck we named “Drop Tine” for year 3 and we just got him on trail camera hitting one of our mock scrapes in daylight with season opening in 2 days here in indiana!! We get into the lessons we’ve learned hunting this property and the things we’re doing different this year to better our odds at our target bucks. Mock scrapes and Cooks Fatal is one of our favorite things to not only get pictures of bucks in early fall but one of the places we believe will be our best odds to shoot one of the bucks we are after. Hunting these farmland bucks in ridge country is a different ball game, from the wind, thermals, steep ridges, and thick cover with agriculture fields on the tops it’s very unique whitetail property and you really never know what might walk out. Indiana Whitetails are one of their own and we can’t wait to be back in a tree chasing Whitetails.

I’m joined by Tim Palmer who had a life riding bronks and after his retirement he went all in on whitetail hunting and he’s had some great success throughout the last couple years. One of his biggest passions is chasing public land Whitetails on the ground during the rut. Tim goes into what he’s doing and the strategies he’s using to get up close and personal with mature bucks off the ground with his bow. We cover a ton in this episode and it’s one I believe y’all will enjoy just as much as I did recording it. When it comes to Midwest Whitetails Tim is starting figure it out so go check him and his crew out because they’ll definitely be getting on some Whitetails this year!!

On this episode Carson Putnam joins us to talk about his giant non-typical buck he killed in 2021 on his family property in late November!! This crazy and unique buck scored a remarkable 269 inches and only had an 8 inch spread!!! Carson might’ve only been 16 but after hearing the story of this buck and how it unfolded, I can tell you there ain’t many 16 year olds like Carson. He was able to keep his composure and stay persistent to wrap his hands around this once in many lifetimes buck!! After a shot they weren’t super confident with on this buck, they ended up calling a tracking dog and after a few hours the story finally came to an end and Carson wrapped his hands around this freak buck. North American Whitetail Magazine will be dropping an issue with the story of this buck in the first week of October so make sure to snag one and hear more about this awesome buck and great kid!! Hope you guys enjoy this episode and the story of this buck isn’t your typical one and how everything went down was crazy to say the least!! Thanks for listening and we truly appreciate you listening to this episode of the Whitetail Bloodline Podcast

On this Episode I’m joined by Jon and Tyler to talk about our past week and the opening week of deer season for the team. Jon chases early season Kansas Whitetails with his son as they hunt the 10 day youth season. Gavin and Tyler chase out of state public land Whitetails in the river bottoms and swamps of Northern Kentucky. Weather got the best of us on our Kentucky trip with crazy thunderstorms rolling in while we were hunting. We learned a ton on this trip and actually got eyes on a shooter we named “ Seabiscuit“. We cover a lot in this episode about early season Whitetails and the experiences/things we learned on the opening week. One thing we all agree and talk about is staying positive while you’re out there hunting, no matter the cards you’re dealt. Hope you guys enjoy this early season BS session style episode and we truly appreciate you listening to this episode!!

Tyler made it to Kentucky from Pennsylvania to hunt opening week with Dylan and Gavin. In this episode we talk about opening day of Kentucky archery and all the chaos that we experienced with the crazy weather that moved in on us in the evening hunt. Lots of laughs in this episode and a good time talking about our hunts and our expectations leading into the week!! We gotta new game plan for tomorrow morning and we’re gonna get after them rain or shine!!

On this episode we talk in depth about everything mock scrapes from why we make them to the whitetail deer scents we add to them to make them that much better. We cover a whole lot about scrapes, community scrapes, where to put these scrapes, the differ scents we add to them for the different parts of the year and everything in between. We also talk about naming bucks and having years of history with a single buck and how much more special that is if you end up being able to shoot him. We also start taking about our Kentucky opener that is in less than a week away and how fired you were after getting a giant public land buck on trail camera on Gavin’s last scouting trip this past Saturday.

Gavin and Jon are joined by the owner of GB feeds Greg Bieker who just opened his small batch, specialty deer feed this year but he has been developing it for many years. Jon has been using these feeds for a couple months now and he is 100% a believer in it!! Greg goes into the ins and outs of GB Feeds from when and how he got the idea to start his own feed company but also why his feed is different than anything you’ll find. There’s two products that are offered, (corn candy, buck chow) both have their place in every supplemental whitetail feeding program. After we get done talking baiting Whitetails and the tricks and things they’ve notice from running them basically year round for many years, we talk about Greg’s “logo 8” which as it sounds is the buck he killed and is now the logo for his company. The unique thing about this 180” Kansas GIANT is his crazy eye guards that are 12 inches long!!! We cover a lot of other things and topics in this episode so we hope you enjoy it and don’t forget to leave us a 5star review!! Means more to us than you know!!

Gavin is joined by Ben Harrison and DA of the Bowhunting League!! They talk about their FREE bowhunting hunting contest that just happens to be the #1 in the country and it also has over $50,000 in amazing prizes!! These boys talk about how they started the Bowhunting League in 2015 and how far it has come and what’s new for 2022. This is definitely a contest and even better a group that want to be apart of because it’s like no other out there. There’s a lot to hear about on this episode and I had a great time talking with these guys. Go check them out on Facebook, Instagram, and don’t for lager to get your team signed up because you only have until the end of August before sign up ups end and the League gets kicked into full swing.

We’re extremely fired up for season and it’s only weeks away now, so time to get dialed in and get ready for the September opener!!

Gavin and Jon are joined on this episode by the one and only Jared Mills who’s a part of Midwest Whitetails, which is one of our teams favorite shows and guy in the entire industry so you can only imagine are fired up we were to record this episode. It was basically just a BS session with one of the best minds in the whitetail game, we talk about hunting for yourself and not hunting or caring about what others think, it’s your tag and your deer season so do it legally and as you please. We also talk with Jared about his new properties he got this year and how this is the very first year having a property all to his self in which he’s able to do what he wants to do to it. Can’t thank Jared enough for taking the time to talk to us and it’s definitely a podcast we will remember until the day we die!!
