  • Very informative

    Absolutely love this podcast!

    People seem to criticize terry and don but they are litterly just naturally complaining about a bunch of made up garbage. They have integrity and are great hunters and people!

    To any of you complainers look at yourselves before picking apart people with integrity.

    Used to love this show. After a couple episodes ago where you went on a rant about “purple hair people” my kid who was riding in the car asked why a Christian man was talking poorly and verbally bullying someone. I turned the episode off and couldn’t finish it. Then I was listening to your next episode today for you to go on another rant about how Christian guys could talk poorly and lie about you. Best of luck. Unsubscribed.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Someone Sends You a Tip on a 200” Buck… What Do You Do? | Chasing Giants 339
Q: In relation to drone use, what criteria do you use to decide when a tip is legitimate and worth pursuing, and how do you protect relationships while following up?
He describes validating tips by requesting landowner details and exact locations; only a minority of tips justify action, and he emphasizes maintaining friendships and avoiding stepping on others' ground, even when a big buck is involved.
Someone Sends You a Tip on a 200” Buck… What Do You Do? | Chasing Giants 339
Q: NutriCrave corn and its fat content were discussed in a listener question; could you share your take on how fat levels in deer feed affect digestion and overall nutrition?
The guest clarifies that wild deer balance fat and calories across the diet; NutriCrave corn, with higher fat, increases calories and palatability but does not necessarily harm digestion since deer balance intake with other food sources and won't rely on corn alone.
Someone Sends You a Tip on a 200” Buck… What Do You Do? | Chasing Giants 339
Q: From Marty Irwin in Thorndale, Texas, can you explain how river-bottom properties influence your strategy for keeping bucks home and what adjustments you recommend for long-term success?
The host explains that river-bottom properties pose challenges because deer roam more and long-term success relies on getting age on bucks and providing attractive habitat; strategy often involves accepting that wind directions will vary and focusing on disguising access, cover, and security to keep mature bucks nearby.
You Spent WHAT on a Deer Crossing?! | Chasing Giants #337
Q: What is the best approach when a neighbor is encroaching with a baited area near your property due to CWD restrictions?
Back out of the deal if possible and focus on finding a property where you won't face ongoing conflicts or legal issues; use due diligence and avoid escalating neighbors' disputes.
Legal Doesn’t Mean Ethical: Where Do YOU Draw the Line? | Chasing Giants 338
Q: What is the hosts' stance on the use of drones during hunting season?
They view drones as a dangerous tool that can enable unethical behavior and should be restricted; they support using drones only for off-season habitat surveys and recommend strong boundaries during hunting season.
