We all know one. The dude who gets it done when things need to get done! Our good friend Cody Beaver is exactly that. The guy is clutch, always goes with his gut, and kills. We sat down with Cody late one night a couple hunts into the season to see if we could steal some of his magic.

Cody has killed some awesome deer for a young guy, including 7 Pope and Young bucks. He has a whole room full of trophies from all across whitetail country, all aquired before age 30. Many deer have fallen to his arrow, and often it is because of strange or unconventional tactics. Lets face it, it is common knowledge you dont hunt bad winds and if a buck busts you it's game over, ect. Not for Cody. He harvested a 187" giant by literally throwing caution to the wind. Listen for the whole story!

 

Dont forget about our giveaway from HAWK Hunting! (Listen for how to win.)

We've started a little private land side project called "The Dirty Thirty." We will be making habitat improvements, setting cams, and monitoring deer movement. Getting down and dirty on some QDM.

Colder weather is coming! We've actually been bundled up more than once already this season. The Celsius Jacket Has kept us toasty on those windy cold front days.

It has been a super busy deer season, but we finally got to sit down and talk to our buddy Garrett Long about his awesome early season success. We met Garrett this past summer at the TRCP Media Summit and are now proud to call him a friend. When talking to Garrett, you immediately sense his passion for hunting wild places, the camaraderie shared with his family during the hunt, and preserving the heritage that we as hunters all share. Killing big mature bucks is impressive, but accomplishing it year after year truly puts a hunter in an elite category. He possesses an immense amount of knowledge for such a young guy and I learn something every time I have the honor of talking with him.

We are on the road again in search of wild places and whitetail bucks. Public land has its challenges, but we wouldn't have it any other way. Also, Dairy Queen and Braum's on the same hunting trip?!

To check out Garrett's tools of the trade, visit Sitka Gear. I don't believe there is a company in the hunting industry that does more for Conservation and protecting our interests as hunters. We are proud to wear their gear.

This is the season we dream about all year long! The preseason is turning over to the early season. Bucks are starting to lose their velvet, scrapes are opening up, acorns are falling, and we are frothing at the mouth in anticipation of that first October cold front! Hunting Season is here. It's everything we can muster to just stay out of the woods and let our spots rest knowing that there are big bucks pracing around adorned with new headgear just waiting on us. 

Let this awesome interview with public land whitetail expert Lucas Cayko (yes, it really is pronounced "Psycho") get you even more hyped up about getting in the stand! We go into great depth with Psycho about different types of access, some unusual calling tactics, satying warm, and rut crazed bucks. 

To listen to what Psycho has to say, FF to 10:25

In our intro, we discuss our upcoming trip to Colorado in pursuit of elk and adventure. K.C. was blessed with a beautiful bull last year and is hoping to start a yearly tradition of mountain grocery shopping. We also talk about some of our last minute scouting expeditions in light of the approaching deer season. We have implemented some of the tactics discussed in E29 with Zach Ferenbaugh of Midwest Whitetail, specifically how mature bucks use water to their advantage. 

We hope you enjoy this talk as much as we did. Lucas is one smart dude who has a knack for big bucks.

On the way to a new piece of public, we discuss general and late season tactics. We are doing a lot of scattershooting and, quite frankly, it's for good reason. We enjoyed some great success so far this season, but we are starting to feel the pressure. It's December and neither of us have put a Texas buck on the ground yet. It's crunch time!

Luckily, while the rest of the country is talking bed to feed and hard hunting, us in the south are privileged to see rutting action all the way through the end of season. In this episode we talk strategy for the current hunt we are headed out on, as well as the rest of the season.

Baiting, Feeding, Corning, Spatter, Chumming, whatever you call it; I'm sure you have an opinion on it. It seems that "The Industry" really has turned its nose up at the idea of shooting a deer as it eats corn. Wait a minute..... Why is it ok to spend countless hours in food plot prep, but as soon as you erect a feeder it turns taboo? We go into this in great detail, discussing the pros and cons of those golden morsels.

 Today we also share our public land speed scouting experiences from the past week. We both headed out with new tracts to explore, and returned with some interesting observations that will hopefully pay off later in the season.

 

One-Eyed Jack, The Full Draw Film Tour Pre-show film is out! Tyler worked relentlessly all season for an oppourtunity for a shot a a buck of this caliber. Give it a watch!

It feels like a million bucks to finally be able to get out in the woods and hunt! Now if we can just get one buck to cooperate. Its been a fairly slow October here in the south, but one of us did manage a successful harvest this week!
