265 The Arrow and the Broadhead - David Hand - Slash Arrows - Hunt Tech Part V
November 25, 2018 10:00 - 1 hour - 60.7 MBOver the past 4 episodes of our Hunt Tech mini-series we've explored a deer movement prediction app with the Drury's and their new app called Deercast, the on-demand action camera with Aaron Stonehocker from Tactacam, a game camera picture data processing system with Jon Livingston from DeerLab, and mapping and waypoint technology with Zach Sandau from OnX Hunt. Now, we move onto the arrow and the broadhead with David Hand from Slash Arrows. The earliest evidence of the arrow launched from...
264 Digital Hunt Maps - OnX Hunt - Zach Sandau - Hunt Tech Part IV
November 11, 2018 10:00 - 1 hour - 58.6 MBRemember when maps were on paper? We use to spend money on paper topo maps and put a thumbtack on that map to represent a deer sighting, effectively creating heat map with multiple thumbtacks. Then along came Google and Google Maps. It was a revolutionary step forward in scouting technology, but there were some very important pieces missing from the Google map. For one, we couldn't instantly in-the field in real-time tell where the boundary lines of property existed. Sure, we could spend...
263 Game Camera Picture Data - Deer Lab - JON LIVINGSTON - Hunt Tech Part III
October 28, 2018 09:00 - 1 hour - 57.4 MBBy now in your hunting career you've probably used a game camera or two. As hunters we use game cameras to scout and gather information about deer movement. Game camera pics can be deceiving though, for multiple reasons. For example, there could be a huntable buck in the area that just won't come to the camera. Or, perhaps we get a picture of a buck, but the reason we think he's in the area might be relative to something completely different from what we thought. Scientifically these exam...
262 The Hunting Action Camera -Tactacam - Aaron Stonehocker - Hunt Tech Part II
October 14, 2018 09:00 - 2 hours - 86.8 MBOn the last episode of Deer Hunt, we began our exploration of hunting technology with the Drury's new app called DeerCast. We continue our series on hunting technology this time with the likes of Tactacam, a company who built what is perhaps the best deer hunting action camera on the market. We've all been involved with hunts where we wished we had a camera to film it all but didn't. And there's that occasion when we did have a camera, but the awkwardness of using the camera and taking th...
261 Deer Movement Prediction - DeerCast - Drury Outdoors - Hunt Tech Part I
September 30, 2018 09:00 - 1 hour - 64.2 MBIn the first part of our 6 Part Series of Hunt Tech, where we explore the technology that has embedded itself in our hunting lives, we dive deep into a new hunting app called DeerCast by Drury Outdoors. For a very long time deer hunters have been trying to determine when deer move, what conditions make for a worthy deer hunt, and when should we as deer hunters capitalize on those factors. We've spent hours and hours studying solunar charts, weather maps for pressure and cold fronts, and pe...

259 TOMMY BRANDENBURG - Farmer Rules, Gettin' Rutty, Catch 'Em Off Guard
September 02, 2018 09:00 - 1 hour - 55.9 MBAt first glance, Tommy Bradenburg is just a common blue collar guy, doing his thing, raising a family in midwest USA. But then you take a closer look, and you say wow, this guy is hunting and killing some big deer- routinely, year after year. We had to take a closer look. Sure enough, Tommy, outside of his 9-5 day job, is embedded in the deer hunting community and his a hardcore deer hunting habits recognize some uncommon success killing big mature whitetail bucks. And because it's wha...
258 CHRIS CORDELL - The Single Season Double Slam, Staging a Comeback
August 19, 2018 09:00 - 1 hour - 49.2 MBIn 1977 Chris Cordell began a career as a professional deer hunter. He is the first and only hunter in the world to complete a double slam in one season and has tagged in over 200 whitetails, not to mention placing over 30 Pope and Young whitetails on his wall. Oh, and that was before the age of 35. Chris is also an outdoor writer, product designer, and inventor of various archery products for the hunting industry. Away from the spotlight for a while, Chris is poised for a comeback and w...

August 05, 2018 09:00 - 1 hour - 51.1 MBSix one, 360 pounds. That's where Dennis Pridgen weighed in 3.5 years ago. Today, 160 pounds lighter, weighing in at a lean 200 pounds, Dennis has found a rejuvenation for everything he loves, life and deer hunting.

256 Justin Coots & Jacob Bennett - BOSTON BOWHUNTER
July 22, 2018 09:00 - 1 hour - 65.6 MBAs Longfellow wrote in his infamous poem Paul Revere's Ride, "One if by land, two if by sea" describing the Redcoat's travel plans from Boston to Concord, we can almost re-envision this today as a description of hunting and fishing in the modern world- one whitetail land, two stripers by sea. Now it's the hunt, and perhaps a new fight for freedom, that is conducted in the suburbs of Boston where the American Revolution began. According to Justin Coots and Jacob Bennett, members of a fairl...
255 MICHAEL YATES - Tennessee Ground Hunting Tactics and Hunter Efficiency
July 08, 2018 09:00 - 1 hour - 55.1 MBWe've heard the expression 'Hunt the Wind' over and over. Many of us base our entire hunt on exactly that concept. But what if that was all wrong? Did your head just explode? Mine did when I heard this from Michael Yates, part of the group of hunters that Bill Vale has organized as the Pressured Deer Pros. I had to dig deeper so we put Michael on the mic stand to discuss amongst other things: hunter efficiency, ground disturbance, hunting upwind and not down wind, several ground huntin...
254 Wounded Deer Tracking Dogs: The Blood Trailers - Diane Richardson, Joanne Greer, Mike Lafleur
June 24, 2018 09:00 - 1 hour - 81 MBSometimes those kills shots don't go as planned or sometimes, despite a double lung shot, the deer finds it's way into terrain or structure that make the wounded deer track undetectable to the hunter. A trained deer tracking dog can be an immeasurable asset to a hunter in situations just like this and it's the right thing to do out of respect for the animal. But how does it work? What should we expect when we call in the dogs? We invited a panel of volunteer leashed dog deer trackers int...
253 JOHN STALLONE - Hunter Recruitment & How to Bow Hunt the Coyote
June 10, 2018 09:00 - 1 hour - 62.3 MBHunter recruitment is critical for our sport to survive. QDMA says that declining hunter participation is one of the single most important issues impacting deer hunting and management today. But what's to blame? Is it social media? Is it a lack of hunter unity? Is it the media or the anti-hunter winning over the middle ground? These are tough questions to answer, but it'll be essential for us to answer to reverse the trend of declining hunter numbers. We turned to John Stallone to disc...

251 KIP ADAMS - The Whitetail Report Part II: Deer Issues and Trends
May 13, 2018 09:00 - 1 hour - 53.2 MBWe pick up where we left off last week with a further discussion of the QDMA's 2018 Whitetail Report with Director of Conservation Kip Adams.

OUR SPONSORS: Hunter's Blend Coffee, Polarwe...
250 KIP ADAMS - The Whitetail Report: 2018 Harvest Trends
May 06, 2018 09:00 - 1 hour - 47.3 MBWhite-tailed deer are arguably the most important game species in North America. Kip Adams, Wildlife Biologist and the Director of Conservation for the Quality Deer Management Association, would agree with this concept. More hunters pursue whitetail than any other species and whitetail hunters contribute more financially than and other hunter segment. But how to the numbers stack up state to state? Who’s killing the most deer? Which state kills the most does? Which state kills more bucks per...

248 PAUL KURTZ - Coffee & Deer Camp - A Hunter's Perfect Blend
April 22, 2018 09:00 - 1 hour - 53.1 MBThere's always something special about a cup of coffee at deer camp. It can even be a crappy cup of coffee, but it still taste pretty darn good. But what if the coffee actually was good? And what if you knew that the coffee itself was created by a group of folk that support hunting, gun rights, and we're hunters just like you. The aroma and taste of that cup would be better than an cup of joe that you've ever had before. Paul Kurtz understands the complexities of this phenomenon and that's e...

245 DOUG LAIRD - The World's #1 Antlered Doe
April 01, 2018 09:00 - 51 minutes - 35.5 MBYes, we know this is the Big Buck Registry. But when a 199" composite antlered doe becomes the only Boone & Crockett doe on record, it's worthy. Despite this show airing originally on April 1st, this is not a joke, despite the obvious appearance. During the 2014 Missouri gun season, Doug Laird came within range of what he thought was the biggest buck on his property. Little did he know that his deer would become the only doe entry EVER into the Boone and Crockett record books. OUR SPONSORS...
244 LT. DAVID GREGORY - Enforcing Operation Game Thief - To Catch a Poacher
March 24, 2018 09:00 - 1 hour - 57.7 MBAs hunters, we don't consider poachers to be hunters. Sure the activities may look similar to the non-hunter, but there are vast differences in the approach of taking game. The obvious difference, is that a hunter does the hunt legally, the poacher illegally. But how do law abiding hunters keep the ill intent from messing up our clean image? You probably can't completely fix that problem, but the Enforcement Division can sure separate the good from the bad. Lt David Gregory of the Vermont...

242 JONI MARIE - Bucket Lists and Heavy Arrows
March 10, 2018 10:00 - 1 hour - 62.7 MBSo let’s say that one day you were told that you only had 2 years left to live. What would you’re plan be? Amongst your other desires, my guess is that you would put together a plan to fulfill many of the hunts you’ve always wanted to do. The proverbial “bucket list” would quickly swing into full affect. Turns out, this is exactly what happen to Joni Marie, a native Alaskan who enjoys the all fertile terrain that Alaska has to offer as much as anyone. So away Joni went on her bucket list hun...
241SEAN ASADA - Buying the American Deer Hunter's Dream on a Shoestring Budget
March 03, 2018 10:00 - 1 hour - 73.2 MBIf the American Dream is to own your own house, then the American Hunter's dream is to own your own piece of hunting real estate. But to achieve that dream we are often faced with the burden of financing, credit, and income especially if we're working the 9 to 5 job and living paycheck to paycheck. According to Sean Asada, despite these perceived challenges, Sean says that you can do it, he did it, and he didn't have 2 nickles to rub together. He started with a 10 acre piece, then another...
240 RODNEY ELMER - Knowing When to Hunt and When to Follow
February 24, 2018 10:00 - 1 hour - 59 MBFor some reason central Vermont is home to arguably some of the best deer trackers in country, especially when you throw the Benoit Family into the mix. Rodney Elmer is not exception to this. I met up with Rodney at a hunting and fishing expo recently and in conversation quickly realized that Rodney was as much into the outdoor way of life as I am. Rodney is well spoken and can speak intelligently on the hunter's hot topics of today. But it doesn't end there. Rodney is a steward of the wo...

238 RICK BEBOUT - The Morgantown Urban Archers - A Blueprint for City Deer Hunting
February 10, 2018 10:00 - 1 hour - 55 MBWhen deer populations somewhere in Urban Town USA get out of control to the point where citizens complain about vegetation and landscape damage and an over abundance of deer-vehicles collisions, as a city government, what do you do? You could call a company like White Buffalo and have professional sharp shooters cull the herd, or perhaps go the steralization route like we witness on Staten Island. Orrrr, you could just do what bowhunters do best, hunt the deer with bow armed volunteer citize...
237 WAYNE and SHAUNA BOGARDUS - Killing the Fall & Suspension Trauma - Treestand Wingman
February 03, 2018 10:00 - 1 hour - 54.7 MBTreestand safety is a hot topic. And it should be. Studies show that treestand accidents are by far the leader in serious injury or death to a hunter. There have been some major advancements in safety though the years compared to the days when the hunter would limb climb a tree into a wooden built treestands. The harness has also come a long way since the early days, the attachment straps aren't as limiting, devices like the Life Line now keep us attached to the tree, but suspension trauma...
236 BLAKE DAVIS - Exploring Xpedition: An Archery Study
January 27, 2018 10:00 - 1 hour - 50.4 MBThe archery industry is certainly flooded with bow manufacturers. There's not much to dispute there. So if you are going to get in, you better be darn good. Scratch that, you better be great. So where do you begin? Enter stage left, Xpedition Archery. Grown from their mother ship in the aerospace industry, and after making parts for other well known bow manufacturers, Xpedition Archery started building bows with the same engineering, quality, and demands that the aircraft industry puts...

234 HENRY MONCRIEF - Reading Hunting Pressure, Smell Like Nothing
January 13, 2018 10:00 - 1 hour - 49.1 MBHunting in multiple semi-local states can be a huge advantage to a deer hunter, especially if some states hold longer seasons. Henry Moncrief uses this to his advantage as he hunts Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Maine. These states, despite their reputation for holding smaller racked bucks compared to the midwest for example, lower deer densities, and difficult hunting terrain, Henry seems to have found a formula for hunting and killing the bigger, if not the biggest bucks in t...
233 ULRIK ORSKOV - Danes, Bull Tahr, and Dirty Steak
January 06, 2018 10:00 - 1 hour - 55.9 MBHunting outside of the United States summons the need for a new set of hunting styles and strategies, much like we see when looking at east vs west hunting within the U.S. Ulrik Orskov is as passionate a big game hunter within his home country of Denmark and most of us are for whitetail or muleys. At home Ulrik hunts the familiar European deer like fallow, roe, and red but often ventures to the rugged mountains of New Zealand in search of the Bull Tahr and Sambar. We breakdown Ulrik strate...
232 The Crew - 2017 BBR Deer Hunt Year in Review
December 30, 2017 10:00 - 1 hour - 63.8 MBAs we approach 2018, we decided to look back on 2017 and discuss some of our favorite moments of the Deer Hunt Podcast.

We tend to listen intently to our guests on this show , but rarely dive deep into who we are as the crew of the Big Buck Registry, so we decided to mix it up a bit. Happy New to you and your f...
230 ROBBIE KROGER - Why We Are Hunters, Blood Origins
December 16, 2017 10:00 - 1 hour - 33.5 MBWhy do we hunt? Why are we hunters? What makes us tick? For many reasons, these are questions that we should probably ask ourselves as hunters. These are also the questions that Robbie Kroger has set out to answer as part of his Blood Origins project. Through interviews with hunters and his own experiences, Robbie has discovered that we all have a connection in our roots to hunting, passed along from generation to generation, and that often times the connection to hunting is deeper than t...

November 25, 2017 10:00 - 1 hour - 37.7 MBOn a frosty November morning in 1979 a 9-point whitetail buck walked into Don Higgin's set.

November 18, 2017 10:00 - 1 hour - 50.2 MBWe wanted to know more about select tree cutting for deer habitat so we turned to our friend from the Quality Deer Management Association, Matt Ross.

225 CUZ STRICKLAND - Mossy Oak and the Adrenaline Shakes
November 11, 2017 10:00 - 1 hour - 62.3 MBWhen I first received an email from Ronnie Strickland, I wasn't sure, but I thought, could this be Ronnie Cuz Strickland sending in fan mail to our podcast?

November 04, 2017 09:00 - 1 hour - 28.7 MBDanielle Halverson is 20 years old. A petite frame, you would be hard pressed if you passed her on the street to think the words 'stone cold killer'. But make no mistake, despite her age, looks, and demeanor, Danielle is a lethal bowhunter. It's interesting to interview today's younger generation and come across someone like Danielle who says she never stops thinking about deer hunting, guides for mule deer, and has a couple of 170" class deer under her belt.

October 14, 2017 09:00 - 1 hour - 49.5 MBSeems like one of the most controversial topics amongst hunters these days is high fence hunting. So, we decided to take another deeper look into the subject, only this time with Shawn Smith from Texas.

There are many permits involved in running a high fence ranch, state granted benefits, state agency involvement, and there are quite a few thin...

October 07, 2017 09:00 - 1 hour - 55.9 MBIf you’ve shopped for a tree stand between 1996 and now, you may have noticed a sticker on the box or on the tree stand with the three initials, TMA - the Treestand Manufacturer's Association. This sticker seems to be attached to everything we buy relative to climbing a tree these days, but what the heck does in mean? Climbing a tree prior to 1996 really was all that saf and certainly there was no accountability regarding tree stand industry standards. In a room, in a voluntary meeting at ...

September 23, 2017 09:00 - 1 hour - 51.2 MBBen’s reputation in the whitetail world is no secret. With the many Boone and Crockett bucks to his credit, it's easy to see why hunters want to know more.
