  • Southeastern Bowhunter

    Great show Dan. I listened to you and several other podcasts because I’m on the road a lot for work. I had to comment on the episode you dropped today with Eric Chesowich. One of my hunting properties is in Winder, so I thought it was funny to hear about Winder motor Speedway and the lack of a full set of teeth in the area. FYI, there are a couple of dentists in Barrow County now so we are moving up in the world. Keep doing what you’re doing. Have more George guest guests!

  • Great show!

    Love the perspectives and it pains me a bit but can’t be denied. The outdoors needs to be more welcoming to all and there should never be a barrier. I have several friends who don’t have the same color of skin as I do, but we are one in the same and the passion is equal. Keep up the good work!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Bama Wall Hangers - Deer, Data, and Decades of Experience with Chris Cook
Q: Do you think those bucks just go completely nocturnal during hunting season because they're avoiding you, or do you think that's just a cycle?
Cook says deer quickly respond to increased human activity and may shift movement to nighttime during hunting pressure. Research showed they returned to their usual movement patterns soon after hunts ended, while rut timing and regional differences also affect when bucks move.
Bama Wall Hangers - Deer, Data, and Decades of Experience with Chris Cook
Q: What do you think is the biggest mistake that people make when hunting public land?
Cook says hunters often assume public land is too crowded. He recommends choosing a management area and learning it over time, including scouting after the season.
Deep In The Hunt of Texas - Early Season Success w/ Travis Miller
Q: Tell me about this deer you had in pattern. I know you said you had a few different deer you're kind of looking at this year. What, kind of tell us about this summer, what you've been looking at, how you've been kind of prepping the place.
Miller says deer had been using his salt licks and mineral blocks, while consistent corn at the feeder kept them returning to the area. Some deer began appearing during prime shooting times, so he decided to hunt the stand even in the heat.
Deep In The Hunt of Texas - Early Season Success w/ Travis Miller
Q: Tell us a little about this piece of property you've been hunting, and just kind of how you got it and how it sets up.
Miller explains that he first gained permission to hunt a narrow strip near his brother-in-law's family, then asked the landowner about hunting beyond a fence. The landowner offered him the use of an 80-acre property, where creek beds and fields shape deer travel and stand access.
N.F.C. - STOP Overthinking Your Hunt
Q: Would you shoot a doe on this cold front?
Dan says he would, explaining that he wants to fill the freezer and that hunting a doe is a good reason to go out when no target buck is showing in daylight.
