286 Marc Warnke - The Pack Goats - Sleeping on Bucks and Bulls

October 13, 2019 09:00 - 1 hour - 54.1 MB

Marc Warnke says that it's not so much the hunting strategy, but it's the spot. That means hunting where hunters don't typically hunt, sometimes hunting spots that haven't been hunted in over 20 years and hunting where wheels can't go.  This also means sleeping on bulls or bucks, which means that you're not coming out each day. And that also means hauling in food and gear that one or two hunters couldn't possibly manage.  So how?  Well, Marc turned to pack goats to get to these remote areas ...

285 Cameran Derefield - Last Minute Velvet Bucks and Thermals

September 29, 2019 09:00 - 1 hour - 51.9 MB

It's a game of chess according to Cameran Derefield.

August 25, 2019 09:00 - 1 hour - 55.8 MB

There's a long standing northern tradition, especially in New Hampshire and Maine, where wool meets deer hunting. John Glidden is no stranger to this concept.  At age 61 and as President of the company, John reports to work almost daily at the Minus 33 Merino Wool Factory. John prefers tracking the bucks of New Hampshire in the fallen snow over just about any other form of hunting and developed the woolen company out of a need and desire to stay warm in the cold mountains of New Hampshire. ...

282 Blake Garrett - Big Buck Field Trips

August 11, 2019 09:00 - 1 hour - 47.1 MB

Blake Garrett knows a thing or two about deer hunting because he's seen a thing or two about deer behavior.  Blake takes his approach to deer hunting with scientific overtones.  Studying buck behavior over several years using game cameras and observation, he's noticed some interesting patterning year to year, enough to develop and scientifically test his theories.  Blake is big into positive deer reinforcement when it comes to deer hunter habits and endlessly avoids  negative deer encounter ...

276 Anthony Stallone - Hunter Shooter - The Long Range Rifle Shot

May 05, 2019 09:00 - 1 hour - 68.1 MB

We've focused a bunch on the bow shot, but perhaps we over looked the long range rifle shot. Unless you've had the need to take a 700 yard kill shot, you may not realize how much information is needed to calculate a well placed bullet.  The science is fascinating and the apps are endless. To clear this up, we invited long range hunter and shooting competitor Anthony Stallone to break it all down before you squeeze the trigger on your next long range target.

April 07, 2019 09:00 - 1 hour - 76.4 MB

Although Harmon Carson is known as the Bayou Bowhunter, he sharpened his  bowhunting skills in the in the mountains of Colorado.  Harmon credits his dad for lots of his skills, but not necessarily in the traditional father/son teaching sense.  In many cases, Harmon learned to hunt because his father would escort him into the woods, but from then on he was on his own to learn the rest - methods that might not fly today. Nonetheless, those lessons made Harmon one heck of a good bowhunter - no ...

March 24, 2019 09:00 - 1 hour - 59.3 MB

J.C. Hall might not be on the trigger most of the time, but he's hunting all the time.  When he does hunt for himself, it's a quality over quantity kind of thing.  These days J.C. is frequently on tour with the likes of country singer Aaron Lewis where he's running the camera or editing for the show On the Road Outdoors.    J.C. says he's always hunting in a sense because the footage needs capturing and he doesn't want to be the guy to mess up the hunt.

Chuck doesn't consider the work surrounding Open Season actual work as it's not his how he makes his living. But he sure does love to hunt and he enjoys bringing his hunts to life for others through video. Chuck's big things are...

It's been 4 years since we last visited with our friends at Major League Bowhunter.  Every conversation we've had with their crew has lead to some deep thinking related to hunting, industry challenges, and solutions to keep hunting alive for generations to come.  According to Matt, due to some legislation and some economic factors relative to agriculture in Mississippi, the Mississippi deer hunting has never been so good.  We reflect on Matt's 2018-2019 deer season and then we turn to Brando...

January 06, 2019 10:00 - 1 hour - 71 MB

The arborists are probably the first to harness the power of the tree harness, but what about the rock climbing community? According to Greg Godfrey from the tree harness company Tethrd, we need to give credit to each. And that's pretty much how his company got its roots - it's a deer hunter meets arborist meets rock climber kind of story. Greg says that due to the demand to pack lighter to get to your favorite deer hunting spot without sacrificing safety or the ability to hunt from a tree, ...

267 The Electric Hunting Mountain Bike - QuietKat - Adam Parr - Hunt Tech Part VII

December 23, 2018 10:00 - 1 hour - 80.2 MB

It's hard to imagine that a bicycle would have anything to do with deer hunting.  For years we've relied on our vehicles- our trucks and our ATVs and our UTVs to get us deeper into the woods to our hunting spots.  But a bicycle? Well, turns out, with a little ingenuity from some outdoor enthusiasts and a re-design of the legendary mountain bike - fatter tires, better suspension, a motor, and a hardcore battery like what you'd find in the futuristic Tesla automobile, the all terrain electric ...
