  • Listen with my sons

    Easily one of my favorite podcasts. They guys always keep it light and fun. I pick up a ton of good information, strategy.

    My favorite part is that it’s clean I can listen with my kids in the truck and know that they won’t pick up on anything I don’t want them to. Sometimes the podcast turns to a gospel presentation and my boys’ eyes light up. All their favorite things in one place.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Past, Present, and Future of Growing Giant Deer Featuring Clayton Leonard!
Q: What sparked the move toward Quality Deer Management and how did it originate on your ranches?
Leonard explains that QDM grew out of a combination of observation, neighbor practices, and a desire to breed bigger deer without compromising the habitat. The discussion traces roots to late 80s South Texas where supplementation, habitat improvements, and selective harvesting started to take hold, laying the foundation for a broader movement.
How Much Does Hunting Pressure Impact Deer Movement? Featuring Dr. Andrew Little
Q: What was the basic design of the study and how did you control for hunter pressure?
The researchers created a large 5,000-acre ranch divided into a control (no hunting) and two hunter-density treatments (low and high). Hunters were assigned to 75- to 100-acre compartments within those treatments, with weekend hours standardized to balance effort, and both hunter and deer movements were tracked with GPS devices to isolate the effect of pressure.
Simplified Food Plots for Deer (Even for the Southern Hunter)
Q: What's the best way to position plots (kill vs destination) for daytime deer movement?
Place kill plots near bedding for morning or late-afternoon hunts, use destination plots for broader attractants farther from bedding, and design with topography to create flow, cover, and transitions that guide deer through preferred routes.
Simplified Food Plots for Deer (Even for the Southern Hunter)
Q: How should Southerners approach food plots given the long, hot summers and regional droughts?
Focus on a mix of perennial and annual forages, prioritize long-season options like deep-rooted clovers and alfalfa, and time plantings to bridge the late-summer stress period with a fall attractant strategy, using rainfall forecasts to optimize germination.
Hunting and Fishing Q&A! (Your Questions Answered)
Q: What is the preferred setup for broadheads and arrows this year?
The group leans toward high-quality, three-blade mechanical broadheads for consistent penetration, balanced by appropriate arrow weight to maintain stable flight and trajectory; differences are context-dependent, but the consensus is that the setup should prioritize reliability and ethical recovery.
