    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.

816 - Why He Hasn't Been Smelled by a Deer in 8 Years | Eddie McRae
Q: How do you decide where to hunt a mature buck when neighboring properties are pressure-filled?
By identifying and exploiting thick, impenetrable cover that the buck uses as a sanctuary, setting up on the edge where he feels safe, and using ground blinds to minimize movement and disturbance while being able to shoot within a narrow window of comfort.
813 - Can You REALLY Kill Mature Bucks from Permanent Stands? (Outside the Rut)
Q: What do you think about the idea that it's virtually impossible to kill a mature buck from a permanent stand outside the rut?
We discuss how it's a hot take that fires up debate; while some agree, many point out that success can occur with correct setup, timing, and proximity to bedding and food, especially with pre-hung setups on specific properties.
812 - Everyone Hides Their Scent. He Uses His to Kill Bucks | Wes Moye
Q: How do you predict where pressure will come from when wolfpacking a new area?
You pattern the hunters by observing where trucks and groups move, then adjust by surrounding from multiple directions and watching hunting pressure waves to push deer toward your set.
806 - Why Your Food Plots Never Produce Mature Bucks | Caleb Huckaba
Q: How small is too small for a food plot and still be productive?
Even very small plots can work if there is adequate soil preparation, the right blends (clover, chicory, or brassicas), proper soil pH, and proximity to bedding and travel corridors; the key is matching species to the site and managing deer pressure.
805 - Can a Property Become an "Immature Buck Factory", Hunting Storm Damaged Areas | LISTENER Q&A
Q: Can a property become an immature buck factory?
The hosts discuss that habitat quality, deer density, and neighbor hunting pressure all influence age structure; they suggest evaluating food, cover, and pressure, and consider management strategies before deciding to harvest younger deer. More context from landowners or biologists would help tailor a plan.
