    Really enjoying the turkey content with the old time turkey hunters. Being 63 myself I really enjoy hearing from hunters that came up like I did and hunt similar to myself. Especially enjoyed listening to Coach Waters!

    Really proud of the content that you guys put out. Keep up the great work!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

830 - The Scent Trick He's Used for 50 Years to Get Close to Bucks | Phillip Robison
Q: How did you first get into slip hunting and stock hunting?
He describes switching from traditional deer drives and dog hunting to a patient, wind-aware approach learned from magazines and later refined on private timberland, mulch lines, and gas lines; emphasized slow movement, reading the terrain, and scent strategies.
829 - The Fastest Way to Find Deer to Hunt | Q&A + HOT TIPS
Q: What should Ryan do when transitioning from private land to public land for bow hunting, especially when starting with limited scouting time?
Start by moving through the property, jump deer to establish patterns, and drop pins on sign and trails you see to build a map of likely bedding and travel routes. Then focus on habitat edges and sign over any single tree glory tree when food is widespread.
817 - Do Mature Bucks Recognize Your Stand?
Q: What is your strategy for early-season scouting in August/September when you already know an area?
Use cameras on scrapes and trail intersections to confirm presence and movement patterns, while prioritizing areas with cooler microclimates and sign to guide where you focus hunts.
817 - Do Mature Bucks Recognize Your Stand?
Q: Will mature bucks move their home range if scouting pressure becomes too intense before the season?
Most agree they may shift within their home range or adjust travel routes rather than relocate far away; movement is often about avoiding detection and sticking to safe, familiar cover.
817 - Do Mature Bucks Recognize Your Stand?
Q: Agree or disagree: mature pressured bucks know what a trail camera and tree stand look like, and they will avoid areas if they recognize them.
There is some truth to deer recognizing stands and cameras, especially with repeated pressure, but the impact varies; some deer will avoid the camera spot while others may not, depending on patterns and how often the spot is used.
