    How to BEAT THE OCTOBER LULL: Hunting the First Two Weeks of Archery Season

    The October lull is real — but it's not a dead time. It's a window where deer behavior changes, and the hunters who understand what changes win. In this episode, we're joined by Steve Sherk Jr., John Prokop, and Greg Kazmierski to break down how to hunt the first two weeks of archery season on pressured public land. We get into the specifics: How deer herd up and concentrate around food sources early — and why timing + sign recognition matter more than blind effort Using trail camera data to plan your hunts — confirming activity before you commit to a morning or evening sit Reading habitat: clear cuts, green briar, and bedding areas — where to find them and what they tell you about deer security Soft bumping done right — when and how to be aggressive in the field without blowing deer out Mobile setups for the early season — and why confidence and practice matter more than the gear itself Public vs. private land — the different rules of engagement, and how public land pressure changes deer movement If you're a busy hunter trying to make the most of the Oct 5–15 window on land that gets hammered, this one's for you.

    He Thought the Buck Was Dead — The 4-Year Chase That Changed Everything | Mike Karazsia

    Four years. One deer. And a hunting lesson that changes everything. Mike Karazsia turns a frustrating 4-year whitetail chase into a masterclass on when to be patient — and when to get aggressive on a pressured mature buck. If you hunt pressured whitetails, public land, or with mobile setups, this one will hit home. Growing up in western PA and guiding in Pike County, Illinois taught Mike how to read saddles, funnels, and wind the right way — and he brought those lessons home to a legendary buck in his own backyard. What starts as a conversation about family, schedule chaos, and hunting with kids turns into near-misses, all-day sits, and a twist: after writing the buck off as dead, the story takes one final turn. YOU'LL HEAR: → Why Mike still trusts mobile hunting on almost every setup (even hunting 50/50 public & private) → What Illinois taught him about how mature bucks really use terrain and wind → How he used trail cameras to backtrack a buck to bedding WITHOUT overhunting it → Why most hunters are TOO cautious when it's finally time to pressure a buck → The exact sequence of mistakes and moves that built a 4-year cat-and-mouse #deerhunting #whitetaildeerhunting #publiclandhunting Brands I support: Bullpath gear: https://bullpathgear.com/Hobo Outdoor Gear: https://hobooutdoorgear.com/Mobile Hunter prints: https://www.etsy.com/shop/MobileHunterPrintsCode of Silence Camo: https://www.codeofsilence.com/Lone Wolf Custom Gear: https://www.lonewolfcustomgear.com/Knowhere outdoors: https://knowhereoutdoors.com/?srsltid=AfmBOooYZ2jAMFUdbtc3sb5pmT8bsvmaWWW4_VjVfSh9vMCdSl9AcAiP

    The Ironbuck | The First Metal Deer Call | Why Hunters Are Paying $99 W. Michael Birky

    What if the deer call in your pack was built to outlast your truck, your season, and the plastic calls everyone else is still replacing? Michael Birky, founder of Knowhere Outdoors, breaks down the story behind the IronBuck - the first metal grunt tube designed to solve the problems hunters have dealt with for years. Birky shares how a devotional for hunters turned into a full product company, why he spent months testing more than 30 prototypes, and how he engineered a call that sounds nothing like the “tin can” skeptics expected. The result is a premium, modular system built for serious hunters who are tired of broken reeds, frozen calls, and gear that feels disposable. You'll discover: Why the IronBuck uses a heavier reed and metal soundboard to create volume without a harsh metallic toneHow the long threaded design sets up future accessories like a snort wheeze, doe bleat, fawn distress, and saddle-hunting hookWhat makes the call different from standard plastic grunt tubes in the woods, in the cold, and under real hunting pressureWhy Birky built the line to be customizable, expandable, and warrantied for the long haulI press on the real questions hunters care about most - noise, freezing, durability, and whether a metal call can actually outperform the plastic staples everyone knows. If you care about gear that earns a place in your pack, this episode is for you.
