Hi Bruce, for this Interview the three areas I want to hit on are most importantly respect/criticism amongst outdoorsmen, a little on safety again and Let just reflect on each of our seasons so far.

I grew up in a small town with some big dreams. Working in the outdoors industry having a hunting show has been a dream since I harvested my first deer.

Hard work, effort and sacrifice is what turns dreams into success along with having support from friends and family who dream of seeing your success as much as your self.

After a venture of a teamed show I decided to break away on my own and that's where Unchained Outdoors™ was born.

I am fortunate enough to work with some of the best companies in the industry that believe in me as much as I believe in myself.

My amazing wife Stephanie and I have a great group of people who are on my field staff that believe that love the outdoors and have devotion.

My pro staff contains Troy Briggs and James Drury We pride ourselves on free range hunting no matter where we might go to showcase the grass roots and the honest everyday ways of hunting and conservation.

We l look for big things in the year and we appreciate all the support!

1. Hunt certain stands only during optimum conditions, play the wind or lose

2. My passion for hunting was passed down generation by generation, it helps define our family

3. If you do not have multiple set ups to take advantage of any weather conditions then you’re not thinking right.

4. I am passionate about with hunting because I can share it with my family

5. we believe in the traditional roots of what hunting is and stands for.

Growing up my dad started taking me to the tree with him from a young age.

Once I was big enough he got me started shooting a bow. Since then my passion for bowhunting has taken off and is now a full on obsession with anything archery.

Set Up....Ladder stand facing southeast.

Open pasture to the south, two drainage's meet in the northwest corner of the filed.

On the left is a fence row with bushed and high grass.

To the right is a line of hardwoods.

The wind was coming out of the southwest.

Buck came from my left about 100 yards out in the pasture, nose to the ground.

I grunted twice then cracked my rattling antlers.

That's all it took, he turned and slowly headed my way head up ears forward looking for the other buck. He was at 30 yds when I doubled lunged him.

Henry Ferguson Rocky Mule deer

Growing up in the West, I was introduced to the outdoors at an early age. Henry Ferguson Rocky Mule deer

I bought my first bow when I was 15 years old and to say that it changed my life would be a huge understatement! I enjoy coaching new people to the sport. Henry Ferguson Rocky Mule deer

just matching wits with the smartest animal on the mountain.

Each year I compete in 8-10 archery tournaments locally, but my passion is hunting mule deer with my bow.

To me it represents the ultimate challenge, no calling, just matching wits with the smartest animal on the mountain.

I spend a great deal of time each year in the field, rather scouting or looking for sheds, any time spent in the mountains is a down payment toward success.

I spend a great deal of time each year in the field

I have been married to my wife Staci for 18 years and we have a ten year old son, Kyle. This year Kyle was finally rewarded with being on a successful hunt. He has hiked more miles than most grown men the past few years during archery season before we finally found success on Staci's rifle hunt this year.

Dawn Freeland Women Hunt 2

I started out doing a radio talk show called Shooting It Straight on Saturdays tan talk1340.com. The show talked about guns, pistols, couple's, hunting and shooting. They have since changed their format.

I appear on local TV Shows for special hunting events and I also do radio interviews. But writing about my outdoors experiences is where my heart is at.

Being a female hunter in a male dominated sport has been trying at times. The prejudices and attitudes have been the hardest to overcome. Some other difficulties have been working with gun store owners, property owners, and the "Good Old Boys Club". I believe I have used my love of the sport to sustain my drive in becoming a successful hunter.

I also use my love and knowledge of the sport to help other female hunters have an enjoyable and successful hunting experience, whether they are just starting out or are an experienced female hunter.

Shelly Grandstaff  Co-Founder of Whitetail Stalkers

Welcome to another exciting edition of "Whitetail Rendezvous." This is Bruce Hutcheon, your host. We're heading out to Iowa today, and we're going to visit with Shelly Grandstaff. Shelly Grandstaff  Co-Founder of Whitetail Stalkers with her husband, Mike, have a company and a crew called Whitetail Stalker. So Shelly, welcome to the show.

Shelly: Hi. Good to be on.

Bruce: Let's start right off. Let's talk about yours and Mike's group and business, Whitetail Stalker. Tell us about that.

Shelly: Okay. Well, last year in September, Mike decided that he was gonna start up a page called Whitetail Stalker. He was posting mainly, on this Facebook page, big deer. He knew that people love to see big deer, and we like to look at big deer. So he saw that the page was really taking off and started thinking about doing a team and decided he was gonna put some people on. That's kind of how it started. We started out Whitetail Stalker just by an idea. People like to see deer.

Bruce: Thank you for that. Tell me about your team. Who makes it up? Are they just in Iowa? Or are they in different states?

Shelly: No. We have quite a few people. I think we're at 10. We have them kind of stand out between Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, here in Iowa. We also have Missouri. Like I say, I think there's about 10 of us now. Got a couple of those girls on the team too. It's not just guys. Yeah. We hunt everything, from whitetail deer to coyote. I think a couple of the guys have thought about going on other hunts. So just anything that we can go out and do. We do turkeys and everything as well.

Now in the warm-up, you mentioned that you're gonna be on the Pursuit Channel. How did that come about

Bruce: Now in the warm-up, you mentioned that you're gonna be on the Pursuit Channel. How did that come about?

Shelly: Well, the pursuit channel has a show that is called "The Search: Generation X," is what I believe the full name of it is. They were advertising for teams to come onto the show and compete. It's almost like an "American Idol" type of thing, where different teams go onto this show, and they submit their hunting video, and the viewers vote on who they like the most. Whoever gets the most votes wins the competition that the Pursuit Channel is putting on. So we signed up.

Bruce: What's the prize?

Shelly: You get . . . My understanding is you get your own television show. So we're . . .

Bruce: Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Your own show, and they're gonna fund it?

Shelly: I think, or portions of it. I'm not sure of all the details with it, but Mike kind of handles most of that. I just go out, and I get the deer.

Bruce: That a girl.

Shelly: Yeah.

Bruce: Well, that sounds exciting. Now, when . . . Let's slow down here, Bruce. Now, have you already submitted your video for this year?

Shelly: Yes. Yep, we have all of our video in that's required. I think we have to have in five or six videos and then a best-of video, and we have all of ours submitted in.

Bruce: How long are these videos, each one of them?

Shelly: They have to be five minutes. So it's kind of editing down a bit, but you still get the feel of what happens out there with the hunt.

Bruce: Wow. Do you know Gary Gillette with the Hunting Film Tour?

Shelly: I personally do not. I have a feeling my husband probably does, though.

Bruce: Okay. Just make a note after the show. Gary has been on "Whitetail Rendezvous." Had him a guest, a month or so ago. He has a company that goes around North America, built on short video clips. Now, I think his are eight to 10 minutes, but he has a collection of that.

Adam Keith Growing Deer

Adam Keith Growing Deer.  Okay, so basically to give you the whole gist of the story, family farm, just under 300 acres in Douglas County Missouri, mostly timber country, the open ground is usually fescue pastures, it's cattle country.

I don't hunt it a whole lot, just because of work and traveling but the way I hunt it is when it's absolutely perfect. http://www.growingdeer.tv/

I know it's a front just moved through

I know it's a front just moved through, the big deer are on their feet, still during daylight hours and the wind's right and I can get into a stand and not alert any deer. Adam Keith Growing Deer

I can offer them security

I like to treat small of land, small properties as in number one thing I can offer if I can't offer tons of acres of food and crop fields and tons of acres of native grasses for bedding, I can offer them security. Adam Keith Growing Deer

I stay out of it unless I can absolutely get in there and not alert the deer

I stay out of it unless I can absolutely get in there and not alert the deer. I stayed out of it. Second time I've hunted it this year, and had a nice southeast wind, cold front just moved through, high pressure, Bluebird Bay, had one stand I could slip up in, close to the bedding area because it was a little warmer that day so I got in close to the bedding area and a four-and-a-half-year-old buck by the name of Sticker Eight stepped out and 40 yard shot, he ran 10 yards and the rest is history as they say.

Out of all the hunts I've been on that's definitely up there in the top five for sure.

Actually, I didn't grunt at that deer. To kind of give you a little bit more of the story, going back to small properties, trying to find ways to increase the amount of food on the property. And I went in and hunted this area last year, noticed that there was a lot of cedar trees taking over the area growing up 10-foot-tall and thinking about where a deer lives.

They're living zero to four foot off the ground level. I need to increase the amount of cover and food at that level. My brother, Matt Dye and myself went this past winter in February and cut all these cedars down and a bunch of other trees that aren't really providing much Adamefit to the wildlife. We cut 'em down.

going back to small properties, trying to find ways to increase the amount of food on the property.

We said we want more sunlight hitting the forest floor and instead of trying to create a food plot there, we went with the native forage approach. Instead of making a food plot of soybeans, clover or brassicas, all the other types of food plot blend, we decided to go with the native food plot. Cut all the stuff, all the cedars, all the other junk trees and just let the sunlight hit.

we decided to go with the native food plot

We stayed out of that area until just this past weekend and we went back in there and there was all kinds of native growth, a lot of little legumes and forbes growing inside the timber but we opened up the canopy, let the sunlight shine down and that buck stood up. I assume he was bedded close because he was walking almost in slow motion kinda stretching.

He at one point reaches his head back and scratches his back with his antlers. It took him when we saw him about 80 yards away, it took him about 15 minutes to move to 40 yards. Moving just really, really slow, feeding on the native vegetation, that had grown up after all the cutting we had done last winter.

Alex & Ben ARO TV Hot Whitetails

Bruce: Hey folks, Part 1 was very interesting. We got the roots and the fiber of the new show that's coming out with Alex Rutledge, American Roots Outdoor TV, and now Part 2, we're gonna talk about something that's on everybody's mind right now, the rut.Alex & Ben ARO TV Hot Whitetails

The stages of the rut. There's so much written, you can't go anyplace on TV or magazine or the internet without somebody saying something about the rut. So, guys, what are you seeing right now in your neck of the woods as far as activity?

Alex: Okay, well I'm gonna start before Ben because I'm in South Central Missouri in the Ozarks in the Midwest. Our elevation is around 1,000 to 1,200 feet elevation. Our rut is actually kicking into pre-rut.

I've got mature buck with does already starting to guard does

I've got mature buck with does already starting to guard does. We are seeing many mature bucks biting the dirt the last two weeks. The scrapes are very active, the rubs are very evident, we're starting to see bucks seeking. We got bucks showing up that hadn't been here. So our bucks are ahead here. I've not stepped foot in the woods to hunt yet because I'm saving a certain farm that I got for my great niece Addie's, we talked about earlier. I will start bowhunting after this youth weekend here in Missouri. But the success, the techniques people are using right now is finding scrape lines and rub lines and they're finding these clusters of does and they've already fallen in place and the trail cameras are telling them where to go.

I personally use SPYPOINT venues as SPYPOINT and we continue to work with SPYPOINT is the plan for American Roots Outdoors. Trail cameras don't lie, folks. If you'll use this tactic, I'm about to share with you, you will see you'll be more successful. We're telling you to stay out of your woods only to pull your cameras one day a week, over food sources, over scrapes, over rubs, over watering holes, and you hunt by what the cameras tell you to hunt.

By keeping this low-pressure down

By keeping this low-pressure down and once you find that certain buck that's on pattern, and you've set to studying and took a topographical map or an aerial photo of your property, and the wind is right how you can slip in there without spooking these deer, and you watch what I'm telling you, you will close the deal. And that's my technique that I use to stay close to deer. Ben, what do you use, and what's your deer doing in Tennessee?

Ben: Well, two weeks ago I noticed the first scrape mound and then we got a cold snap and I seen a lot of rubs, a lot of scrapes, I had five new bucks, saw 'em on camera last week before I come up here to Missouri so they're definitely starting to move around and get curious about the does and what-not. My tactic that I've always used and it's worked good for me, is I find the does and keep 'em there.

Well, two weeks ago I noticed the first scrape mound

Alex: Mineral licks.

Ben: Yeah, mineral licks.

Alex: We're using rack 'em and stack 'em right now and all that. But anyway, mineral science. Deer feed where it's legal.

Ben: Yeah, where it's legal, to keep the does in your property and therefore when the rut kicks in, it's a breeding ground. That's always been my tactic and it's worked really good for me. In Mentor, Tennessee where I hunt at, we're getting better. This is the second year of the two buck limit, used to be three.

I'm seeing a difference. People are getting a little bit more mindful of what they shoot and are managing a little better I think it's helping. I think at five years it's getting there now. I see it all the time. Big deer are getting killed every year in Tennessee.

I've been blessed to take really good deer in Tennessee so I think it's getting bet...
