On this episode of The Wisconsin Sportsman, we hear part two of Pierce's conversation with Andrae D'Acquisto of Lone Wolf Custom Gear, to talk all about the "bump & dump" style of hunting, how to pull it off depending on time of day, what time of year it works best, how to plan your hunt, the different levels of bumping deer, picking a specific tree to pull this off successfully, using this tactic during the rut, and how this method of hunting can help you fill your tag!
This week's episode is on the shorter side, but get your note pad out because it is heavy hitting! As we dive into October and folks start to murmur about "the lull", this episode will change your mindset when it comes to finding and killing deer in October.
Huge thanks, again, to Andrae for taking time to come on the show and spread some knowledge. Follow along with Andrae & the awesome gear coming out this fall at lonewolfcustomgear.com or on social media @lonewolfcustomgear and @whitetail_addictions_official

Archery season is finally here and it's time to start thinking about filling the freezer! Nick Otto is a Michigander, host of The Huntavore Podcast, and one heck of a wild game butcher and cook. Now that deer season is finally here, taking care of the meat we work so hard to harvest is crucial.

The guys also talk about dealing with venison in areas with high CWD numbers, and how to deactivate any CWD prions that may come in contact with your butchering surfaces.
