Big bucks don’t just leave by accident. In this episode, Brett Smith of Whitetail Land Management Services breaks down why mature deer won’t stay on most properties—and what he’s seen consistently work across hundreds of whitetail farms. From food and cover to pressure, access, and modern technology, we talk about the mistakes landowners keep making and why some farms quietly produce year after year while others don’t. This conversation is about real-world experience, not theory—and what actually matters if your goal is holding mature bucks long term. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.
