Which came first, the Rooster or the Hatch?  Turns out they were created around the same time.  Chris and Casey Keefer, the hosts of Dropped, an Outdoor Channel show reminiscent of what might happen if you crossed the Amazing Race and deer hunting into one survivalist package, are behind all of these - Rusted Rooster, a production company, Hatch a marketing company, and Dropped, a creative outdoor hunting television show.  With the help of Jason Brown, Chris and Casey have created what is ar...

208 JOE DINITTO - Adirondack Deer Trackers and Snow Days

July 15, 2017 09:00 - 1 hour - 43.9 MB

The deer drag of a tracker can last for hours. Trackers venture deep into the big woods, on the trail of a mature buck, wherever the track may roam.  By necessity, trackers become some of the most skilled navigational woodsmen on the planet. The ones that don't become skilled with a compass and TOPO map, never came home.  Joe DiNitto is a deer tracker and hunts the Adirondacks of New York.   He has been tracking big bucks on snow for 30 years now, and he doesn't appear to be slowing down any...

July 08, 2017 09:00 - 1 hour - 30.1 MB

Please Nominate Us Podcast Awards If you wanted to test out a new kind of face paint that doesn't crack under pressure, meaning is doesn't run or disappear when faced with a severe perspiration situation, where would you go to test it?   For Brian Hardy, Florida was the ideal testing ground because first, it is the perfect environment to sweat, but more importantly, he lives there.  During an scorching mid-west hunt, Brian became fed up with traditional petroleum based, hard to clean up fa...

206 ADAM HAYS III - 200" Bucks & Where to Find Them, Read the Moon

July 01, 2017 09:00 - 1 hour - 36.9 MB

Please Nominate Us Podcast Awards Adam Hays III says that to kill a 200" buck, you must surgically remove them from the face of the earth.  This means planning, lots of planning. The first step is to actually hunt where a big deer lives. It's a simple strategy, but an essential one. Step two through the kill shot is a bit more complex.  Using the Red Moon phases of a product he created called the Moon Guide, Adam uses the high likelihood daylight deer movement days to plan his hunt in conj...

204 ROGER RAGLIN - Deer Hunting the Fence Line, Location-Location, & Common Sense

June 17, 2017 09:00 - 1 hour - 36.9 MB

Roger Raglin is an outdoor television pioneer and he has been entertaining us with his deer hunting videos for over 30 years.  We don't see him slowing down any time soon as he continues to create and edit his own work.  Sure, maybe his perspectives on hunting and society have changed, but his drive is still alive.  Many people would not typically associate hunting with higher education (at least the liberals don't), but as we've learned there's more way more to Roger than hunting videos and...

203 KALOBE MILLER - Trial & Error, Just One Wall Hanger, and Hunter Patterns

June 10, 2017 09:00 - 1 hour - 33.4 MB

Kalobe Miller is an accomplished deer hunter out of Pennsylvania, and without a hunting mentor to turn to, he learned to deer hunt through trial and error.  One such lesson:   Kalobe says that that the hunting pressure in his area is so high that learning to pattern the hunter is just as important as learning the pattern the deer. His goal is to shoot and kill one good mature buck each season. And to do this, Kalobe likes a good clean hunt. A clean hunt to Kalobe is when everything is in syn...

202 COLE REID - Stewards of Wildlife - Hunting WITH Conservation

June 03, 2017 09:00 - 1 hour - 40.2 MB

Can hunting survive without conservation?  Can conservation survive without hunting?  History tells us that they need each other to survive.  Hunting without rules will surely devastate a species.  Conservation regulation without hunting has shown that hunting dollars matter greatly, and without the economic backing, poachers have a field day.   This is perhaps no better represented as in the case of the white rhino where the horn of the rhino brings big bucks in the far east to supply a cul...

201 HEATHER SHEPHERD - Dixie Deer Classic, Gator Huntin', and the Hunt Club

May 27, 2017 09:00 - 1 hour - 45.2 MB

When you meet Heather Shepherd for the first time, you'll be hard pressed to know that you are face to face with a hardcore hunting machine.  Her modesty, quiet demeanor, and lack of desire to be in the spotlight, will leave you guessing. Unless you do ask, you wouldn't know that Heather is in line to be the President of North Carolina's Dixie Deer Classic, or that she holds a North Carolina state record for black bear kill, or that she is a crack shot - frequently killing game at 500 yards ...

200 JAMES BLANKENBECKLER - Buck Drunk, Day Walkers, Game Cam Triangulation, The 3 Fs of Deer Calling

May 20, 2017 09:00 - 1 hour - 38.9 MB

When James Blakenbeckler first picked up a .177 pellet gun as a kid, he probably didn't realize that it was the beginning of a career in the Marine Corps and eventually the hunting industry.  But then again, maybe he did.  Qualifying on the Marine Corps firing range was a piece of cake as James spent many an day shooting his gun growing up.  James is a planner. So much so that he would calculate exactly how many days he could be absent in high school to pursuit more time in the treestand. To...

May 13, 2017 09:00 - 1 hour - 45 MB

Josh McDaniel is a stone cold deer hunting machine.  But so is his wife, Krysten McDaniel. Pay no attention to Krysten's well groomed hair and manicured nails - it carries no merit.  Over the years, together they have zoned in on hunting big mature whitetail in some of the best whitetail areas in the country, namely Kansas, Illinois, and Indiana.  Josh taught Krysten everything he knows about deer hunting, and now, each are lethal.  Josh says that studying the individual habits of each buck ...

May 06, 2017 09:00 - 1 hour - 43.7 MB

Rob Richardson lives a primitive life,  commuting across a pond to get to and from his home and vehicle for work.  His home is equipped with solar electricity and Rob's cell phone reception allows him to watch his favorite show The Rifleman.  But television is the least of his concerns.  Rob's true form of entertainment is found in the woods, hunting for sheds, or deer, or turkey or checking game cameras or talking to others about shed hunting, or helping others find a wounded deer, or playi...

April 29, 2017 09:00 - 1 hour - 37.2 MB

As a whitetail hunter, can you imagine growing up in Buffalo County, Wisconsin and having access to some of the most renowned whitetail in the country?  Shanyn Hart didn't imagine this.  She grew up learning how to hunt in Buffalo County. Despite the fun and the endless camaraderie that Shanyn enjoyed while engaging in endless deer drives with her father and friends, she eventually decided to pursue her whitetail passion in Iowa, where she says the attitude towards the herd is much different...

196 STACY LYN HARRIS - Hunting & Homesteading, It All Started with Venison

April 22, 2017 09:00 - 1 hour - 35.6 MB

When faced with copious amounts of free range organic meat, aka venison, what else should one do but cook it.  That's exactly what started a new way of life for Stacy Lyn Harris who now lives a life that is, for all intents and purposes, a homesteading lifestyle.  But there's a twist.  Stacy Lyn, who engages fully in preparing wild game, growing her own produce from heirloom, non-GMO seeds, and harvesting honey from her own hives, prefers to add vibrance, and color, and spice to the way she ...

195 LAURA EAKIN - The Hunting Widow Podcast

April 15, 2017 09:00 - 1 hour - 42.7 MB

When the leafs start to change color each fall, and the drive to deer hunt all day reaches its peak, the tune of the "hunting widow" is amplified across the country. Not to exclude the other hunting seasons, but deer hunting seems to take the brunt of this near syndromatic phenomenon.  Laura Eakin, the wife of a hardcore deer and elk hunter, once fell victim to this situation.  And, in an effort to pseudo-retaliate against this status quo, Laura started a podcast known as The Hunting Widow P...

194 SCOTT SHAWL - The High Pressure Buck Puzzle

April 08, 2017 09:00 - 1 hour - 45.8 MB

Scott Shawl has been solving puzzles for a while now. Technically his family has been solving the big buck deer hunting puzzle since the 1800s. Ask Scott about the 300+ pound monster whitetail that his great grandfather Daniel Shawl shot back in 1914 and you'll quickly realize that the Shawl's have a long tradition of hunting whitetail bucks in places most hunters won't go. For Scott, a trip deep into a swamp with hip boots to hunt high pressured bucks is not uncommon. Scott says that huntin...

193 NICK PERCY - Killer Spring Food Plots, Reap What You Sow

April 01, 2017 09:00 - 1 hour - 33.1 MB

Nick Percy is joining us once again, but this time with a different take on food plots. The last time that we spoke with Nick was in June 2016 found here: www.BigBuckRegistry.com/killerfoodplots ,  when our focus was on food plots for the fall. Now, as the snow melts away in the Northern Zone, we learn from Nick that there are several kinds of seeds that we can throw atop frost ridden soils and let mother nature take over by working the seeds into the soil naturally. There's a point to this....

192 WAYNE BOLTON - The Shed Hunting Fool

March 25, 2017 09:00 - 1 hour - 44.4 MB

Wayne Bolton walks miles.  We suggested that he try out a FitBit, just to keep track. As the "Shed Hunting Fool", over the last 20 something years, Wayne has spent almost every hour he had available from around mid-January to mid-April hunting for every antler he could locate. We estimate that this would be the equivalent of a second full time job and a second part time job if anyone is counting. But that effort pays off.  It's not uncommon for Wayne for find 50+ sheds a season (down from 10...

191 MATT LIGHT - Football, Bowhunting, Treestand Therapy, The School of Belichick

March 18, 2017 09:00 - 1 hour - 42.7 MB

Growing up in Ohio and working for different farms and construction companies, Matt Light learned what hard honest work was like.  On the football field, he found a home where strength met aggression and technique.  In the hunting woods, he found an appreciation and passion for the outdoors where focus on technique mattered just as much as it did on the football field.  Matt paid little attention to football outside of his hometown high school team, but college football recruiters were payin...

190 DAN INFALT - Buck Beds, Swamps, Closing Time Bucks, Hunt Where They Don't

March 11, 2017 10:00 - 1 hour - 38.1 MB

Maybe's it's revenge from when Dan Infalt was charged by a buck at age 9, or maybe it's just that Dan's strategizes a deer hunt more than most. Whatever it is, Dan Infalt is one heck of a good deer hunter.  Dan begins a hunt with maps, not just to determine where the big bucks bed, but to determine where everyone else hunts, so that he doesn't. Dan loves to hunt buck beds that are surrounded by water where other hunters and most predators (except for Dan) won't travel. He also enjoys a good ...

March 04, 2017 10:00 - 1 hour - 35.8 MB

Picture if you can traveling to a remote area,  being stripped of all your clothing, meeting a complete stranger (also naked), and being left to fend for yourselves in the raw elements of the forest or jungle. Could you do it?  This is a real scenario for Laura Zerra, one of the original cast members of the Discovery Channel's Naked and Afraid. We first met Laura at a dinner table in Las Vegas and turns out there's much more to Laura than being a reality television star.  As you might suspec...

February 25, 2017 10:00 - 1 hour - 48.5 MB

Agronomy is a noun.  It means the science of soil management and crop production. Biology is a natural science concerned with the study of life and living organisms, including their structure, function, growth, evolution, distribution, identification and taxonomy.  When an agronomist and a biologist get together to think up what deer really need to survive and flourish, look out, the brain waves might be radioactive.  Stand too close and you will learn lots about proper whitetail nutrition. ...

February 18, 2017 10:00 - 2 hours - 58.7 MB

Barry Wensel says two heads are better than one.

Barry spends much o...

186 CHUCK TESTA - Taxidermy, Liberals, Mounted, and Nope!

February 11, 2017 10:30 - 1 hour - 34.3 MB

A gun loving taxidermist living Ojai, California naturally finds himself surrounded by anti-gun anti-hunting liberals.  It makes Chuck Testa's life more interesting and says he's lost lots of friends.  But Chuck doesn't take life too seriously (unless you're talking about his taxidermy work - he's all business there) and says we all are better off when we can make fun of ourselves.  We don't disagree. Chuck also says that "Nope!" is a zen-like state of mind. Chuck has become a symbol and ico...

185 DAVE GRAHAM and JAKE HUFF - Huff Land Company, Buying Your Piece of Whitetail Heaven

February 04, 2017 10:00 - 2 hours - 59.4 MB

Every hunter has thought about owning their own hunting property at one phase of their hunting life or another.  Whether it turns into realty is another story. Sometimes it's a financial obstacle, sometimes, something else. What's fascinating is that we often overlook the income potential of owning a piece of whitetail heaven. As Dave Graham, a real estate agent from Iowa,  and Jake Huff, owner and real estate broker at the Huff Land Company, will reveal in this episode, there's lot to consi...

183 HAL BLOOD - Big Woods Bucks, Tracking Monster Maine Whitetail

January 21, 2017 10:00 - 1 hour - 42 MB

The elements often dictate the best style of hunting for a particular region of the country.  In Maine, tracking is considered by many buck hunters to be one of the most effective methods. When the snow flys, trackers like Hal Blood look for those buck killin' days.  What's interesting is that the tracker rarely concerns themselves with the wind and scent control, rather, they rely on the track of a toe dragger to point them in the right direction.  It's a game of covering lots of ground, ge...

January 14, 2017 10:00 - 1 hour - 45.2 MB

Have you even used a bicycle to maneuver into the close proximity of a mature pressured whitetail buck? Well if you have (we don't know many hunters that use this method), you're not alone. Craig Meyer knows this strategy all too well. Make no mistake about it though, the bicycle alone isn't enough kill a mature pressured whitetail, but Craig Meyer uses this tactic as one of his many strategies when he's moving in for a kill shot.  Craig also likes to use the off-season, specifically the mon...

December 17, 2016 10:00 - 1 hour - 50.9 MB

Meet Krystle Mahoney and Taylor Hance, otherwise know as the Whitetail Widow Makers.  They work regular jobs like most of us, but when the work is done, they are hitting the woods of Louisiana for some good old fashion deer hunting.

December 10, 2016 10:00 - 1 hour - 37.9 MB

When you hail from the land where the Hold in the Horn Buck originated and the land of Ten Point Crossbows, you know you're in a good spot.  Dustin Kismore, the taxidermist behind Bill Wilson's 190" double droptine mount (Bill was on this show in Episode #95), knows this area very well. Dustin hunts the urban area around Portage County, Ohio and knows there's potential for a transient buck to cruise through his set up at anymore, a set he doesn't mind hunting frequently.  Dustin is looking f...

175 NEIL PENDLETON - A 1490 Day Deer Story, The Big Woods of Maine, Urban Hunting New Hampshire, and the Power of Mock Scrapes

November 26, 2016 10:00 - 1 hour - 53.8 MB

More often than not, to hunt and kill the deer you have your sights on, takes far more than one day. For Neil Pendleton, the deer of a lifetime took much longer, 1489 more days to be exact.  It was all worth it and the journey was more of a lesson in whitetail behavior, reinforcing the concept of hunting smarter, not harder. Neil takes us on his epic journey with a New Hampshire buck, but he shares much more about his set up, how he learned to hunt, and what hunting urban New Hampshire is li...

174 SAM UBL - Keep the Deer Guessing, Ground Hunting the Thick Stuff, The Importance of Fresh Sign

November 19, 2016 10:00 - 1 hour - 52.7 MB

There was actually a time when Sam Ubl wasn't allowed to go deer hunting. That was when he was eleven and the state of Wisconsin's hunting regulations had a minimum age requirement of twelve.  It drove him nuts.  All he wanted to do was hunt.  Once he turned twelve, that moratorium was over forever, unless of course he didn't make the grades.  Sam's dad was stickler for a minimum grade requirements before heading to the family's Wisconsin deer camp.  But it's been a long time since someone t...

172 BOB DUMONG - Learning the Nuances of Deer Management and A Free Fall Treestand Nightmare

November 05, 2016 09:00 - 2 hours - 55.9 MB

Fear isn't a factor. It never was. And probably never will. Now there is respect. Respect for how quickly life can flash before you when a simple tiedown strap is overlooked. Bob Dumong now respects every bit of treestand safety after falling 20' to the ground in a nightmare hunt when a strap let go causing Bob's climbing sticks to break away from the tree (seconds before stepping onto his platform). Bob says he now has great respect for treestand safety despite his still fearless mentality....

171 MARK STUKBAUER - Increasing Your Odds with Natural Cover Scents, Scrape the Ground, and The Stealth Step

October 29, 2016 09:00 - 1 hour - 36.4 MB

Mark Stukbauer lives in what is known by locals as the Ohio snow-belt. Despite this, the bucks grown big and as Mark says, "big deer are not foreign to me".  Mark has spent many years in the woods chasing whitetails as many of us have, but early on (also as many us have experienced) Mark's kill rate and buck encounter rate wasn't as great as he would have liked.  He questioned his skill and decided that scent must be the deciding factor that he was overlooking.  Mark turned to natural covers...

170 DAVE PRIEBE - Deer Hunting Basics - Courtesy NH Fish and Game

October 22, 2016 09:00 - 1 hour - 38.1 MB

When it comes to deer hunting, we all need to start somewhere. We learn from our parents and peers, we learn from our hunter safety courses, we learn from our mistakes. Often times it's just a good 'ole seminar that helps us understand better the vast information that we are fed daily about deer hunting. And, due to listener requests for a show on the basics of deer hunting, we decided to meet up with our old friend Dave Priebe at New Hampshire Fish and Game. Dave presents two classes each y...

Growing up in a small home in a small rural town set the stage for Nick Pinizzotto and a career as CEO of some of the most recognized sportsman groups in the nation.  A love for the outdoors and wildlife seems to be at the root of Nick career path. Nick says even though it seems like we are making decisions based on biological science when it comes to conservation rules and regulations, it's often times more political science operating behind the scenes.  Nick's focus these day is with the N...

168 DAN BAYUS and the Tinemen, Tuned In Archery, and Deer Hunting Late October

October 08, 2016 09:00 - 1 hour - 47.4 MB
