583 - One of THE BEST Things You can Do to increase your odds this season!
We are getting back to Q&A submissions this week! After a ~30 minute discussion on Monday's tactic talk and discussions on some proposed hunting regulation changes we hit some listener Q&A's. We answer the following -
Have we used Troy Pottenger's scrape tactics from EP 176, and has it worked?
Access through where the deer are, or where they are going to be? (This relates to one of the BEST things you can do NOW to prep for this fall)
How do you determine when you need to take does off a property?
We also announce our blaze orange hat giveaway winner! Thanks to everyone for the reviews on Apple Podcasts. Also, don't forget our HUNTER'S HANGOUT meeting on Patreon is TONIGHT! We host meetings every other Thursday for our Patreon members where we all hop on a video call and talk hunting!

582 - Let THE WOODS Tell You Where the MATURE BUCKS ARE w/ Michael Pike
The Dilla is back! On this episode, we are joined by our good buddy Michael Pike, known to many as "the Dilla" (short for armadillo, because he has turned over every leaf in Alabama looking for big bucks!). We catch up with him on his awesome 2023 season where he tagged out in AL with 3 great bucks, two of which were big 10 points - all on public. Subjects include:
How Michael got severely burned out on deer hunting & then got back into it
The intangible aspect of being good at deer hunting
Why your tactics haven't been working
Listening to the woods (literally) to find deer
Building upon each hunt to increase your odds every time
The best way to plan out-of-state hunts
The camaraderie of having hunting buddies, and how it makes you hunt better
and tons more! It was great catching up and we are sure the dilla will be back on the show throughout the year.
