Ep 14: Lets Talk Science and Evidence with the National Deer Association

11/24/23 • 92 min

Welcome back to episode 14 of the in Seezyn podcast. This is the 2nd podcast this week that we have released, if you didn’t listen to the earlier episode with NiceTargets you should go back and check that one out and make sure to use the 15% off discount code they are providing to our listeners.

Todays episode is with Lindsay Thomas from the National Deer Association. Without a doubt this episode will provide more education, evidence and knowledge than all of our episodes combined.

National Deer Association is a non profit group focused on the future of wild deer, wildlife habitat and the future of hunting. We break down some of the myths and old wives tales surrounding hunting whitetails using research, evidence, and science. Lindsay breaks down the 4 most important factors for deer movement, specifically buck movement. The lack of evidence supporting the impact on moon phase and cold fronts on deer movement, which I think will hurt a lot of feelings out there however this evidence is based on multiple studies produced all across the country and not one persons opinion. The science behind doe harvest, buck to doe rations, and when you should consider harvesting does on your property to improve the habitat for other deer and have a more active rut.

Lindsay talks about the misconceptions of managing a wild deer herd through culling and talks through the evidence behind antler heritability.

My ask is that whatever your prior opinions, keep an open mind and remember that the things that Lindsay talks about are rooting in science and evidence not anecdotes and personal opinion.

Go check out the National Deer Association at https://deerassociation.com/ , they have incredible education, resources and they are helping to preserve the future of hunting for all of us.

Ep 13: NiceTargets, a High Value Alternative to 3D Targets

Welcome back to episode 13 of the in Seezyn podcast. This podcast is releasing Thanksgiving week, Happy thanksgiving from In Seezyn and Treezyn family. This is the perfect time to take a break from the grind and stresses of life and reflect on all of the many blessings that you have to be thankful for. Your family, friends, and the great outdoors. I know growing up hunting thanksgiving morning with my family was one of the greatest memories that I have in the whitetail woods. We hope that everyone has a great thanksgiving and you get a chance to spend it with loved ones and share all of the things you are grateful for.

This week we have a product spotlight, it’s a product that I was introduced to last year from Brad from BDS outdoors. The company is called NiceTargets. They are a high value, low cost alternative to 3D targets. Based out of Wisconsin, this company is a 4th generation family owned business that was founded in 1948 making plastics for the construction industry, they currently are making very realistic archery targets that are far superior to paper, and a lot of fun to shoot. They have a variety of spot targets, realistic animal targets with a vanishing kill zone that helps you to hone in your effectiveness in the woods. I ordered a pack, shot them, loved them and reached out to Jim and Tatum to share their story with the ISP family because I believe that once you shoot this target you will never want to shoot paper again. You can buy these targets for 4 dollars and it will absolutely make shooting archery more entertaining. I persoanllly love the whitetail target where the buck is walking behind a tree because it is just so realistic, this happens in the woods all the time and the poker game was a blast to shoot with friends and make things a little more competitive. Nice targets has also provided us with a 15% discount code for our listeners. That code is Seezyn15 and will be good for 60 days following the launch of this podcast, perfect time for a Christmas gift for friends and family.
In most areas across the country it is starting to get cold and most people are getting their Christmas shopping started. No better time than now to pop over to the Treezyn website and order the HEET series base layer for Treezyn. I used it in Kansas with temps in the low 20s and windchill that made it feel like it was about 10 degrees. The base layers are 25% off currently and if you add in the puffer jacket that is 40% off currently you will absolutely stay warm and cozy for the rest of whitetail Seezyn. A cool new function of the Treezyn website that was recently added is the ability to search for gear based on the temperature you will be hunting in. this allows you to select the temp range and it will recommend the gear that is appropriate for that temp, pretty cool new function.

We hope you enjoy with product spotlight with Jim and Tatum from NiceTargets.

1 Recommendations

Welcome back to episode 15 of the in Seezyn podcast. This episode is really special for holden and I because we had a chance to interact with 2 of our absolute favorite people, Johan and Beulah from Huntech Pro, they made the 16 hour trip from South Africa and were on US soil for only a few hours prior to recording this episode.
Huntech Pro is in the US for the second year in a row to hunt whitetail deer, but this time during the rut in the Midwest . They had a chance to hunt Ohio, Kentucky and Georgia during the best time of year for hunting whitetail. We talk about their adventures in the states from last year, plans for this year and what you could expect from a trip to South Africa. Holden and I had an incredible time in South Africa earlier this year with Treezyn and Huntech Pro and we left there with so many great memories, new friends and we can relive all of those memories since all hunts with Huntech are filmed and featured on their episodes that you can find on CarbonTV and YouTube.

We hope you enjoy this episode of the In Seezyn podcast with Johan and Beulah from Huntech Pro
