Some of the best hunters are those you've never heard of. Brock Shelton doesn't have social media, and nobody aside from his close friends has ever seen a deer that he has killed, but his wall is testament to how effective he is in the whitetail stand. Jason and Brock discuss the whitetail deer hunter's calendar and how successful deer hunters are working year round. We talk about setting stands, weather fronts, hunting different periods of the rut, and a bunch of other things.

Customer Reviews
Excellent product
Love the pod, PNWild was great a great guest. I have a lot of respect for Phelps and can’t wait for future episodes!
Could have been
All the CTD podcasts I downloaded are ones with Remi I’m sure they are tired of hearing that….
I’ll listen to videos were Dirk talks about bugling but BRO does the same thing maybe I’m missing out by not listening but I don’t know that I am
And the Steven Rinella adds are exhausting
Stick with the Remi episodes
Five stars for all the Remi episodes, a measly two-two and a half for the rest.
