    694 - MASTERING Terrain Features with Chuck Young
    Jun 9 2025
    If you are trying to learn how to hunt whitetail deer on terrain features, this episode will be a "light bulb moment" for you. Chuck Young is a very accomplished mountain hunter from western Arkansas. He focuses heavily on 3 particular types of terrain features that he has found success on over, and over again. We discuss what those 3 types of terrain features are, why they are productive, and how to hunt each of them. We then dive into the best of the best when it comes to hunting terrain: compounding features. If you get something out of this episode, make sure you share it with a buddy!

    692 - The Best Weather Patterns to Deer Hunt (GPS Data) W/ Dr. Bronson Strickland

  • 691 - Asking the Right Questions Leads to BIG BUCKS with Brandon Gowan

    691 - Asking the Right Questions Leads to BIG BUCKS with Brandon Gowan
    May 29 2025
    In this episode, we sit down with Brandon Gowan, a longtime listener turned lethal public land deer hunter. Over the last four years, Brandon has built an incredibly repeatable system for killing mature bucks on high-pressure land — and he shares it all in this detail-packed conversation. Brandon breaks down how a Japanese philosophy of continuous improvement from his job at Toyota transformed the way he hunts. He shares how asking “why” has helped him pattern bucks, refine his trail camera strategies, and create a career-hunting balance that gives him a major edge. We also dig into: How Brandon uses trail camera data patterns, not guesses, to pick kill dates Why every buck he’s killed on public was already on camera How “asking why until there’s no more why” leads to better results in the woods His go-to terrain features — and the exact setup that keeps producing big bucks The power of annual patterns and how he uses a simple calendar to predict buck movement The importance of finding big tracks, not just rubs and scrapes Why terrain funnels produce more consistent daylight buck activity than sign Mentorship lessons from his old-school, big buck–killing father Whether you’re still figuring out public land or looking to take your hunting to the next level, Brandon’s story offers a real-world blueprint for doing more with less — and finding repeatable success in pressured places.

  • 690 - STALK HUNTING BUCK BEDS with Derek Norwood

    690 - STALK HUNTING BUCK BEDS with Derek Norwood
    May 26 2025
    Derek Norwood hunts extreme terrain, in extreme ways. Derek is well-known in his home state of Florida for being extremely consistent in taking down top-tier bucks for his area. We traveled to Plant City, FL, to Derek's shop to sit down and talk about his life in the woods. Some of the topics include: - The bucks in central Florida are bigger than you think - How growing up dog hunting taught Derek how bucks escape through swamps - The story of Derek's father passing away on a hunt with Derrek - How Derek reads tracks to track down bucks - Slip hunting swamps - Spot & stalk hunting individual buck beds in swamps (this is wild!) - The extreme measures Derek is willing to take on a nice buck - Insane snake stories - Why Derek seeks out the "worst WMA's"...and why he finds the biggest bucks there and tons more! We had a great time travling through Florida to interview Derek. If you enjoy this episode, and want to hear more Flordia deer hunters on the show, let us know!
