  4. Small Parcel Strategies for Whitetail

    Small Parcel Strategies for Whitetail

    “About 15 years ago, I stopped hunting deer (plural) and started hunting specific, individual deer. With few bucks surviving to an age where they became distinguishable, I focused on one specific deer, mostly because I didn't have any other options. I could have a wall full of 140 class bucks, but I chose quality over quantity and was willing to eat my tag just for the chance to chase a true giant the following season.  For my first few years of this quest, I found myself on the verge of success, but failed to execute. I worked harder, and asked more questions, and things started to fall into place. Over the last 10 years, I have had 100% of my target bucks within bow range, and wrapped my tag on them 80% of the time. “ - The Untambed Ambition The Untamed Ambition and Whitetail Ambition are consulting and coaching companies owned by Thomas Mlsna and he knows his stuff. He is data driven and uses the scientific method to help you compile information, form hypothesis, and work through them to track and kill your target buck. We focused our conversation on the intricacies of hunting small land parcels as well as many of the challenges that accompany hunting this type of land. There is a lot of conversation right now about public land hunting, but there are many of us hunting lease or permission properties much smaller in size with a lot more pressure and I really wanted to dial in on these on this episode. I learned a lot and if you are hunting smaller parcels I think you will find it extremely helpful. Enjoy and thanks for listening.

    Pivot In-Season to Find Your Target Buck

    Drake Deerman is a humble killer from the great state of Alabama.  He travels the southeast and the midwest chasing giant whitetails and is pretty darn good at it.  I usually write up a bio and summary but I think Drake’s Instagram post sums this story up pretty well.  We dive deep into how the whole thing went down and there are a lot of great lessons to learn here.  Enjoy  “Words can never truly describe the roller coaster of emotions that led to harvesting, and putting my hands on this deer. Nine days sleeping in my truck, losing my #1 shooter, which would have been the biggest deer of my life, leading to a four day search for him that turned out to nothing. I decided to start over and drop everything I knew about this property and start completely fresh searching for a new deer. This is the hardest pressured public land I’ve ever hunted, and after two days of daylight to dark relentlessly searching I found this buck. Two more days of watching him, having him within bow range twice with no shot opportunity, passing on his running buddy three times which would have been the biggest buck of my life, all came down to a 64 yard shot when he stood up out of his bed. This is the hardest hunt I’ve ever been on, the hardest earned deer I’ve ever killed. Every high, low, happiness and heartbreak went into this. Everything I had. And I am beyond humbled, thankful, and blessed to put my hands on this once in a lifetime animal. So many prayers went into this.” Final score: 166 3/8” - Drake Deerman Sept. 13, 2024 You can listen to this episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Podcasts, and Podbean by searching Do Not Go Quietly w/ Eric Wilson You can find Drake on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/_drakedeerman/ You can follow Eric Wilson on Instragram https://www.instagram.com/ericwilsoncoaching/ Use Code radonotgo30 for 30% of all training programs at Ridgeline Athlete https://www.ridgelineathlete.com/ and follow on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/ridgeline_athlete/ Use Code DONOTGO20 for 20% off Asio Gear https://asiogear.com/ or follow them on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/ #hunting #elkhunting #bowhunting #muledeerhunting #westernhunting #gohunt #huntingpodcast  #hunter #elk #huntinggear #muledeer #bowhunting #bowhunt #bowhunter #montana #huntmontana #hunter #hunt #hunterxhunter #jesus #faith #podcastformen #podcast #podcasts #huntingpodcast #trainingpodcast #whitetaildeer #whitetail #whitetaildeerhunting #deerhunter #deerhunting #deer #elkhunt #diyhunting #backcountryhunting #diyelkhunt #whitetails #deerhunting #deerhunter #deer

    Cliff Gray Debriefs My 1st DIY Elk Hunt

    I am extremely thankful to Cliff Gray for conducting this interview and helping me debrief this hunt.  I believe it turned out much better than if I had try to do it on my own.    Cliff is an amazing man & helped me a ton in preparation for this hunt.  For this episode, my Instagram post just a few days after I returned from this hunt is probably the best way to introduce it.   I will leave it there and hope you all enjoy. IG Post Dated September 11, 2024 It was December of 2022. I could barely walk to the end of my driveway. Major spine and neurological issues had hobbled me and I barely recognized the man in the mirror. @theseanjacobs was the architect of my rehabilitation & gave me hope. @ridgeline_athlete prepared me. For almost 2 years I rehabbed, trained, and dreamed of taking on an elk hunt in the western part of the country. 4:45 am every day Monday through Saturday looked exactly the same. 4:45 - Bible Study & Ice 5:30 - Prayer 5:45 - Train Gods Providence Nothing derailed me from my preparation. @laurinwilsonre was constantly there. From the dark times through the hard work to the sacrifices she had to make for me to leave everything for a week and chase my ghosts; there is no way to express my love & gratitude for your undying support & understanding of what makes my soul stir. You are my heart Gracie. @reilygrace you were always an inspiration. My sweet girl🙏 Western hunts are romanticized but there is nothing romantic about total silence. I hunted from 5:30 am to 8 pm every day. 14 hour days of absolutely no bugles & no elk. All of that training, all of those idyllic visions of chasing screaming bulls, all of that romance about the west became really long days turning up nothing. 1 day turned into 2 turned into 4 turned into 6. I started falling down mentally. Why do I think I belong out here ? What made me think I could do this ? I could be at home with my family. Why would I ask her to make this sacrifice ? I called on Day 6 and shared my doubts. “ You took off a whole week for this. You’ve trained for almost 2 years. Stop focusing on what isn’t happening. Focus on the beauty. Focus on the gift you’ve received of being able to climb mountains & just be there. Focus on the blessing. Get out & hunt.” She was right. I pivoted with renewed energy. I sat a blind. I used a decoy. I called. I did everything I could think of. I hunted dawn to dusk until last light of the last day. I left every bit of me out there. I didn’t harvest an elk but I was given the gift of renewal. As I reflect on this, I cannot ask more. TY🙏 to everyone who was a part of this.  You can find Cliff on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/cliffgry/ , visit his You Tube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@CliffGray , and learn more about his membership group at his website https://pursuitwithcliff.com/ You can follow Eric Wilson on Instragram https://www.instagram.com/ericwilsoncoaching/ Use Code radonotgo30 for 30% of all training programs at Ridgeline Athlete https://www.ridgelineathlete.com/ and follow on Instagram  Use Code DONOTGO20 for 20% off Asio Gear https://asiogear.com/ or follow them on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/ #hunting #elkhunting #bowhunting #muledeerhunting #westernhunting #gohunt #huntingpodcast  #hunter #elk #huntinggear #muledeer #bowhunting #bowhunt #bowhunter #montana #huntmontana #hunter #hunt #hunterxhunter #jesus #faith #podcastformen #podcast #podcasts #huntingpodcast #trainingpodcast #whitetaildeer #whitetail #whitetaildeerhunting #deerhunter #deerhunting #deer #elkhunt #diyhunting #backcountryhunting #diyelkhunt

    Mobile Mentality & Timber Tactics for Archery Elk Hunting

    Heath Hansen has been chasing elk since he can remember. While there are many people right now who are chasing the sexy "get as deep as you can into the backcountry" trend, we discussed the positives of staying mobile when you are hunting a new area and specific tactics around hunting thick timber. A native of Montana, Heath is an accomplished hunter and has a special affinity for chasing big game with the bow. Heath obsesses over the details of the hunt and targeting older age bulls. Heath just got back from an antelope hunt that was cut short from Covid and we dove into an antelope chase that was oh .... so .... close. At the time of this recording, I am 2 weeks from my first archery elk hunt in Colorado and that is some of the backdrop to this conversation.
