The early season is my favorite time to hunt whitetails. Their habits are much more predictable, the hunting pressure is much lower, the weather is beautiful, and there are more deer in more places. But as great as this point in the season may be, it still must be hunted correctly in order to avoid blowing up future opportunities later in the season.

Jake is back! We hit the prairie here in Iowa for some doves and unfortunately the hunting was better than the hunters. We saw a lot of doves, shot at most of them, came home with one of them. But we still had a blast kicking off an offseason worth of rust as we start into the 2023 fall hunting season. We also share a few funny stories and Jake talks about his hunting plans as a new dad.

Oh boy are you in for a great conversation. So good that I think you will consider it the best deer interview you've heard in a long while. We talk all things deer ranging from hunting tactics to antler mysteries, and CWD. All of it has to do with why Iowa is the place to beat for hunting whitetails.

Most hardcore hunters have dreams of hunting the biggest cervid species at some point in their lives. I think many of us think this dream will have to come true in Alaska or Canada, which makes sense. But we can't forget about New England as a very viable, and much less expensive option for fulfilling our dream hunt. Jamison Grady is a native Maniac who has spent his life in the forests of Maine hunting deer and moose. In this episode Jamison fills us in on what you can expect for this hunt of a lifetime.

Food plotting is a major aspect of the hunting world, and much of it is as Doug Duren says "bringing sand to the beach." Now of course all popular food plot species get some of the desired effect, but what if we could get even more out of our food plotting efforts. That's where perennial food plots come in.

I will always hold to the belief that good shed hunters are the folks you want to learn from for locating game. They spend so much time observing and learning the habitat of the animals they are trying to collect antlers from that they are just bound to learn where these critters spend their time. Weston McArthur is one of these people. He runs a popular YouTube channel known as Rise and Shed, and although sheds are his main passion, hunting is of great importance to him as well. Listen in to several great stories, including one on his survival during an unexpected Montana blizzard while elk hunting, and plenty of tips on finding elk while hunting them.
