Rutting hard with Derek Towles
11/02/22 • 62 min
This week the guys got the chance to pick the mind of there great Derek Towles. Derek is a friend of the show, from down in Kentucky. Let’s put it this way, Derek is like a mix of Superman, Santa Clause, and Daniel Boone. He saves the day as a first responder as his career, ships packages from the GoWild warehouse for fun, and spends all the rest of his time in the woods. It’s kind of an awesome gig! Derek has had success in the woods of Colorado already this fall hunting black bears, and hunts a nice piece of private land in Kentucky. We cover different rut tactics, stand locations, and how to maneuver throughout the month of November.
Depending on how you look at it, Paul is either winning or losing in the game of archery. The deer he shot at won that battle, but Paul put a hurting on a tree in the process! He recaps his killdeer hunt and trick or treat. For Andrew the week was much slower in the woods with reduced amount of time spent outside. Work, Life and patience...
Our O2 hunt camp member of the week is Alex Herman. Alex grew up in Wisconsin but has migrated to the Buckeye State. He was skillful enough to take down his first buck with a compound bow earlier this season. Alex recaps the hunt and how it worked out!
Have a great week and good luck to those getting out into the great Outdoors of Ohio!

This week the guys sit down with Jon Teater of the Whitetail Landscapes Podcast on the Sportsmen’s Empire Network. Jon is an experienced veteran of the white-tailed deer woods and specializes in habitat management. Jon’s based out of New York and often big woods situations, but he also spends a lot of his time in the midwest working with smaller properties.

It’s been a busy week around the state of Ohio. Paul and Andrew have both spent time out in the woods. Paul recaps his first time out hunting turkeys with dogs in northeast Ohio, as well as some time in the tree. Andrew’s got his 3rd doe in the freezer. Like always there’s always more to the story, and although this time the shot placement was perfect, the deer had some... well... interesting shall we call them boobies?
News around the state is very active. We discuss the NWTF’s work in Ohio, Deer Harvest totals, Scary stories, Littering and more.
Have a great week and good luck to those getting out into the great Outdoors of Ohio!

Deer Biology with Clint Mccoy of the Ohio Division of Wildlife
This week the guys sit down and talk about white-tailed deer basics with Clint Mccoy of ODW. Clint is a deer biologist for the state, and covers what exactly is happening with the Ohio heard in the month of November. Know thy Enemy right? Okay, the deer aren’t the enemy, but they are the target.
Paul and Andrew are doing what they do best in the woods. Nothing. Well, they are getting better, but still putting the pieces of the puzzle together. Both had encounters with shooter bucks this week, but spoiler alert, no racks on the wall. It’s all part of the process. Hunting deer isn’t easy, and can be quite the roller coaster of emotions along the way.
The woods are on fire right now, so hopefully you can find to get out and get the job done. Please tag us in social media posts and we will do our best to get everybody recognized!
Have a great week and good luck to those getting out into the great Outdoors of Ohio!
