Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 65: IOWA Here We Come!
Q: What are some of the challenges with hunting public land according to the hosts?
Crowding is a concern; hunters tend to gravitate to certain famous spots, making some areas over-pressured. The conversation emphasizes scouting, using HuntStand, considering wind and sign, and having multiple backup spots to avoid overexposure in a single location.
Episode 65: IOWA Here We Come!
Q: What does the Iowa draw process look like for first-time applicants?
The process is online; you log in to your account, indicate you have points, and follow the online steps to apply for zones, with the number of points already on your account guiding your eligibility. They emphasize that you can't just claim you have points—you must have the actual balance in your Iowa DNR account.
Episode 32: The Hunt for Likes: Ethics, Antlers & Idiots
Q: What are your Fourth of July plans?
To prepare for the upcoming deer season while enjoying some downtime.
Episode 32: The Hunt for Likes: Ethics, Antlers & Idiots
Q: What did you learn from your trip?
Traveling abroad can make one feel out of their comfort zone, providing valuable insights.
Episode 19: Are You An Active or Passive Hunter?
Q: If you had one last hunt in your life, how would you want to kill your deer?
Ideally in a high spot overlooking a landscape with deer activity all around, carefully waiting for the right shot opportunity.
