In this epssode we get the full story of the Jason Thomas buck! Jason tagged a buck of a lifetime on October 28th from the ground! Hear the full story along with:
What Happens After You Shoot a 200" Typical The Controversies of the Score What He's LearnedFrom Jason: "On top of being the biggest buck I’ve ever killed, the typical 12-point could be a new Ohio record. It has a 22 ½-inch inside spread, 26- and 29-inch mainbeams, and tines pushing 14 inches. Scorers with Buckmasters Whitetail Trophy Records gave it a green score of 208 5/8, which makes it the new No. 1 in Buckmasters’ Perfect category for all weapons. A panel of Boone and Crockett scorers plan on measuring the buck in late December after the 60 day drying period, and if that score holds, it would be a new state record, according to B&C. It would also go down as the No. 3 all-time typical whitetail in the B&C record book."

This week we're sitting down with Thomas Mlsna to discuss:
What we should all consider after the season What crop produces the most B&C whitetail bucks? Fertizler for healthier bucks"It's easy to look at someone else's success with skepticism and assume that you know why or how that individual succeeded, especially in today's world where everyone with a smartphone is an "expert". It's also easy to assume that someone more successful than you had some sort of edge or advantage, which is directly related to their success. In my case, that edge was a wild desire to prove that mature bucks could be harvested in an area where no one else was consistently tagging quality deer. My main advantage was that I was unwilling to accept things as they were." - Thomas Mlsna

Tue, 23 Jan 2024 - 2h 08min - 354 - #327 - Over 50 Years of Bow Hunting! What John Eberhardt Has Learned & Post Season Scouting!
John is a self-taught hunter and considers that one of the main reasons he does things outside the norm. He attributes his success on the very fact that he wasn’t mentored by relatives or friends on old school hunting methods. He learned through trial and error, and due to his serious nature, desire to succeed, and attention to detail, through the years, he’s developed tactics and strategies that have equated to consistent success on mature bucks in heavily pressured areas.
John became aware many years ago that the generic hunting methods and techniques written in hunting articles, books, and shown on TV and in videos just didn’t work in heavily pressured areas and decided to do something about it to help other average Joe hunters like himself be successful.

Don't be afraid to hunt random spots that may seem unconventional Avoid historical hunting and don't be afraid to try new terrains and abandon previous targets Mature bucks prefer security cover and avoid open areas They strategically use thermal advantage and wind direction to stay undetected Overthinking can hinder progress and prevent you from reaching your goals. Target overlooked areas such as CRP fields, ponds, and riverbanks where mature bucks can guard does Don't be afraid to abandon target deer and adapt your hunting tactics Utilize travel routes with cover and set up in areas that provide security for the buck The low spots in fields or CRP attract bucks due to the concentration of thermals Learn from others but don't blindly follow the crowd Access is everything, dont be afriad to try unorthodox methods like kayaking or climbing high wallsAnd so much more!

Bobby is the owner of The Whitetail Group and has made a career of developing farms to turn them into Giant Whitetail Heaven, all while putting 15 deer over 160" on the wall himself. We discuss:
Understanding deer mindset and hunting strategies based on specific dates and phases Utilizing a deer's nose as an advantage in November hunting The importance of timing during the pre-lockdown and post-lockdown Hunting big deer from November 5th to November 12th, between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., can lead to magical moments and higher chances of success Having the right mindset can make all the difference in the hunt. The most susceptible time to kill mature deer is in November Balancing patience and persistence is crucial when not seeing any deer during a hunt Choosing hunting spots downwind of doe bedding areas or pinch points between bedding areas Having a systematic approach, a plan, and sticking to their hunting philosophies are essential The peak of deer activity and breeding typically occurs around November 14th Having a systematic approach and executing a plan is crucial for hunting success When a big deer calls a place home, it's difficult to make them leave.And so much more!

Spending time in the summer to set up for success in the fall is crucial Shoot your bow every day during the hunting season Practicing with your bow regularly and shooting within your comfortable range is important Recognize when scrapes are no longer important for hunting mature bucks The week prior to Thanksgiving is an excellent time to hunt for mature bucks who are active during daylight hours Late November offers high-end mature bucks on their feet Late season hunting in December is focused on food sources and cold fronts High pressure and cold fronts are favorable conditions Experience plays a crucial role in making successful shots while hunting The first week of November is typically when most mature bucks are harvested Cherish and enjoy each hunting day as they are unique and limited Late October and the later part of November are often underestimated but can offer great hunting opportunities Be prepared for the mental grind and don't burn yourself out on bad days Utilize long-term weather forecasts to identify and conserve energy for optimal hunting conditionsAnd so much more!

Bronson has devoted years to studying whitetails and has helped the hunting industry as a whole expand what they knew or thought they knew about whitetails.
We discuss:
Mature bucks are not always nocturnal Bucks are active and on their feet before sunset, but are most frequently observed on food plots around an hour after sunset Bucks daylight behavior depends on their food source's proximity Mature bucks may cover less ground during the rut Beating a deer's nose entirely is nearly impossible Understanding the complexity of buck movement and the role of wind direction Whitetails are adaptable and conditioned to respond to stimuli for survival Mature bucks may exhibit individual behavior based on their upbringing and experiences Two-thirds of bucks have a sedentary personality, while one-third are mobile Mobile bucks can be further classified as shifters or bouncers The October lull is not applicable in the South, where it is more accurate to consider the period before the rut Understanding the relationship between cover corridors and prevailing winds Data analysis reveals that there is no clear pattern for how bucks use wind direction The extent and position of the moon's influence on deer movements still remain uncertainAnd so much more!

Cameron sat down with David Powell at the 2023 Total Archery Challange at Seven Springs to talk about his once in a lifetime buck that he called Bootsie. This hermaphroditic deer stands out not only for its rare reproductive organs but also for its distinctive rack. David shares the details of his encounter with this extraordinary creature, shedding light on its unconventional behavior and characteristics. From Bootsy's powder wig-like headgear to his social outcast status among other deer, this captivating journey follows a davids years of observation before finally catching up with Bootsy. We discuss:
Bootsy was identified as a buck with organs of both antlers and a doe The deer exhibited abnormal physical features, such as an underdeveloped neck and head Bootsie had an irregular rack that looked like a headdress and carried velvet way into the season Other deer avoided Bootsy, making it challenging to target him for hunting David hunted and observed the rare hermaphrodite deer in Kansas for six years The deer had a core area of only 75 to 80 acres, focusing solely on cover and disregarding food and water It took three years for David to realize that rut activity was not a way to target this deer The deer had bases 15" in circumference, not diameter with 21 total points The deer panel scored as a "freak of nature" and doesn't carry an official Boone and Crockett or Pope and Young score Understand the significance of this deer being classified as a "freak of nature" rather than receiving a formal scoring It is listed as 1 of 1 in the Boone and Corckett records under whitetail freak of natureAnd So Much More!

In today's episode, Chad and Jake are back in the studio with another Q&A, talking about trail camera placement near bedding areas, choosing between bucks, managing trail camera setups, the influence of YouTube hunting channels and podcasts on out-of-state hunting, and their upcoming elk hunting plans. We discuss:
The impact of content creation on hunting opportunities and draw odds Summer scouting helps locate elk, but it doesn't guarantee success. Elk can be killed in transition routes, not just in bedding areas. Expanding hunting locations and adapting strategies based on changing conditions. Deploying cameras to locate target bucks requires a wide-net approach and continuous repositioning. The future of limited hunting opportunities in Iowa and Kansas Knowing a deer's bedding and feeding areas can increase your chances of a successful hunt. Scouting in the summer can give you valuable information about the deer population in the area.And So Much More!

Tue, 01 Aug 2023 - 29min - 324 - #298 - How Steve Sherk Uses Summertime Trail Camera Data to Kill a Big Woods Buck Every Fall!
In today's episode, we have a familiar face back in the office, Steve Sherk from Sherk's Guide Service. Steve spends more time in the woods in one year than most hunters do in 10 years. Steve runs over 250 trail cameras in the Pennsylvania big woods every season has has learned a few things about summertime buck movement and how it coorelates to hunting season movement. We discuss:
Late summer excursions by bucks provide insights into their fall range and food sources. Cutting tracks in conjunction with camera footage can help identify specific deer locations. Move around and shift camera positions to keep up with changing browse patterns. Stay updated on changes in habitat and browse sources, especially in public land areas that are constantly evolving. Lack of moisture can result in lower quality browse and affect the production of fall food sources. Be aware of the feeding patterns and the one-time opportunity to eat certain plants. Monitor antler growth and look for clues in weather patterns, such as increased moisture, which can spur growth. Factors like precipitation and weather conditions can influence antler growth in deer. Video mode on trail cameras offers more information than photo mode. Maintaining trail cameras during the summer is crucial to ensure they are not obscured by vegetation and remain functional. Monitoring food sources, like acorns and apple crops, can help predict deer movement during hunting season. Spend time glassing young clear cuts, as they can provide excellent food sources and attract deer.And So Much More!

Tue, 25 Jul 2023 - 1h 03min - 323 - #297 - Do This NOW To Tag Your Target Buck This Fall - Steve Pinkston
In today's episode of The Exodus Podcast, we are back in the studio with Steve Pinnkston. We talk about the advantages of using e-bikes for hunting, highlighting their time-saving benefits and reduced environmental impact. Another episode delves into the mindset of a seasoned hunter during the rut, emphasizing the importance of being unbothered by getting busted and focusing on one deer at a time. Additionally, Steve discusses the significance of summer scouting for fall hunting success, as well as the changing tactics required for hunting due to shifts in deer behavior. We Discuss:
Using an e-bike saves time, reduces scent, and allows quicker access to hunting spots. E-bikes have gained popularity in the past five years and have become essential for whitetail hunting. Using e-bikes allows hunters to access their hunting spots faster and with less physical exertion. E-bikes provide a lower impact compared to UTVs or ATVs, making them an ideal choice for stealthy hunting. Getting out of a hunting location without disturbing the deer is crucial. Preparing hunting areas and finding the right trees for stands in advance. The effectiveness of trail cameras is limited compared to firsthand observation. Summer scouting in out-of-state trips follows a similar process, but access and crowded areas require additional strategy. Having access to multiple small parcels increases the chances of finding a buck worth hunting. Studying individual deer, even if they're not the target, provides valuable insights for future hunts. Getting busted in the summer doesn't impact hunting success in October or November. The early season is an extension of the summer pattern and offers great hunting opportunities. The value of a spotting scope Balancing the risks of being detected by does with the reward of hunting the targeted buck. Cameras are essential for monitoring transition areas and learning deer movement patterns.And So Much More!

Tue, 18 Jul 2023 - 1h 12min - 322 - #296 - Is EHD Going To Wipe Out Your Deer Heard This Summer? with Skip Sligh
In today's episode of The Exodus Podcast, we are back in Iowa with Skip Sligh. We talk about various topics related to deer farm management, the importance of supplemental feeding during droughts, abundance of browse and forage, nutrition value of stump growth, and proper timber management. The impact of EHD and Blue Tongue on deer populations, including the transmission and role of cattle in their prevalence, is also discussed. Additionally, the controversial issue of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) is addressed, with emphasis on critically analyzing expert opinions and understanding its prevalence in the soil and transmission by various animals. We discuss:
EHD is a deadly virus transmitted by midges, causing hemorrhaging in deer Dry conditions can increase the likelihood of EHD outbreaks, but they can also occur in wet years with fluctuating water levels EHD outbreaks are not solely dependent on weather conditions The potential extinction of whitetail deer due to CWD could have significant economic and ecological consequences In 2019, Iowa experienced a significant outbreak of a new strain of EHD, resulting in high deer mortality in certain areas Cattle can introduce new strains of EHD, with infected midges transmitting the disease to deer Healthy deer with a nutritious diet tend to have a better chance of surviving EHD Analyzing and critically thinking about the information on CWD is important Killing off all the deer won't solve the problem if there is no cure or natural immunity. Stump growth in trees is highly nutritious and contributes to the deer's overall health Overdoing projects and pressuring the farm can do more harm than good Summer pressure on mature bucks can still have a significant impact and should be minimized Staying out of hunting areas during the summer and focusing on core projects set you up for success in the fallAnd So Much More!

We chat about tips for attracting deer, dealing with drought, and improvements for the upcoming hunting season in Michigan. We also talk about the benefits of conservation easements and the thrill of improving your property. We discuss:
Aggressive tillage can increase susceptibility to drought Protecting soil can make food plots more drought tolerant Plant trees and water them once every two weeks, using gravity-fed watering systems Water holes should be located in cover to attract deer and provide a natural path A failed food plot can be retried, get some sort of cover on the soil, or wait for the fall During June and July, focus on water holes, mock scrapes, and getting cameras ready Landownership is often demonized, but it is a rewarding experience and a legacy for families Water holes are underrated and important for wildlife survival during drought conditions Tucking water hole in the edge where it is surrounded by brush on three sides to limit access Land ownership can provide a legacy for future generations to enjoyAnd so much more!

On today's episode of the Exodus Podcast, Cameron chats with Beau Marton and Johnny Stewart at the Seven Springs Total Archery Challange about their different styles when it comes to planning for out-of-state hunts. They discuss strategies for finding safe zones for mature deer, including identifying areas with vegetation diversity and studying the terrain, tips for planning and scouting, emphasizing the importance of taking multiple years to get to know a state, and the importance of relying on reliable intel rather than emotions when making decisions while hunting. We discuss:
Identify your hunting goals before picking a state to hunt in Plan on hunting a state for at least three years to get to know it It takes time to plan and hunt in a new area E-scouting is important, but useless if you dont put boots on the ground Mature deer live in places where they feel safe, which may not be the most obvious areas. Study the terrain to better understand how the deer will move For early season hunting, a four-day plan is sufficient Boots on the ground scouting and camera placement can help find these safe zones. Hunting pressure can push mature bucks to seek safer areas. Be optimistic and don't let missed opportunities bring you down Focusing on states closer to home and with high deer densities to maximize his hunting time Hunting in safe zones requires understanding deer patterns and tendencies Trail cameras can help identify deer behavior and patterns. Evaluating pros and cons of a hunting spot can reveal the need to move Scouting and taking notes, as well as using trail cameras, can help with future hunts Taking the emotion out of a situation can help make better decisionsAnd so much more!

On today's episode of the Exodus Podcast, Jake sits down with vetinarian and avid deer hunter Clint McCoy. Clint shares tips on summer scouting and the importance of scent control in deer hunting. He discusses the anatomy of a deer's nose and how they recall smells, common deer hunting myths and misconceptions and creating entry and access routes, and self-filming in the deer hunting world. We discuss:
Deer can and do learn for their lifetime, making them harder to kill the more scents they have in their memory The Proust phenomenon in deer causes them to have instant involuntary recall of scents tied to memory and learning The Proust phenomenon is an instantaneous and non-voluntary flashback that usually triggers an "oh shit" moment for the deer Bucks are less likely to be able to pick up scent trails in hot and dry weather Keep boots and clothing as natural and clean as possible to avoid leaving a scent signature Summer scouting is critical for success in the whitetail woods Summer soak cameras should be placed on interior hub scrapes, transition trails, and potential bedding sites Catalog an inventory list of target bucks for the upcoming season Don't rely solely on soybean fields for food sources Browse species in the area should be prioritized when scouting for food sources Diversify your buck target list to avoid putting all your eggs in one basket Access is critical to pre-hung setupsAnd So Much More!

On this episode of the Exodus Podcast, Chad and Jake are back in the studio to discuss summer hunting strategies. We talk about using trail cameras to gather inventory, elk vs whitetail, and stress the importance of preparation and enjoying the process. We discuss:
Ohio black bear sighting Summer Trail Camera checklist Check batteries, clear memory cards, and practice scent control Summer is a great time to set up trail cameras, especially in bedding areas and scrapes Be cautious of putting cameras on dead trees in swampy areas as they may attract more insects Fawn recruitment: obtaining early photos of fawns to predict peak breeding dates and plan for stand placement, with the option of hanging multiple sets for different winds. Ants can wreck havoc on trail cameras, but using ant repellent and placing cameras away from high-traffic areas can reduce the likelihood of damage. Avoid putting cameras on dead trees Summer scouting can include marking down agricultural fields and bedding areas. Take inventory of the deer in bachelor groups during the summer Green soybeans are the best food source for deer Access routes and wind directions are essential factors to consider when picking tree's for stands Elk or Deer this fall? A new Exodus arrow launch is imminentAnd So Much More!

On this episode of Exodus Podcast, we sit down with Pennsylvania native Chris Weist. Chris shares his experience transitioning from compound to traditional archery while using a saddle, as well as his findings on post-season scouting, the use of vine scrapes as an inventory tool, the importance of calculated decisions in hunting, and paying attention to details.
Transitioning to traditional archery takes time and practice Saddle hunting with a stick bow You need five years of practice to feel confident hunting with traditional archery equipment Identifying pinch points where shots are limited to 20 yards Taking time to make decisions in the heat of the moment Using vine scrapes to help with buck inventory Hunting early season can lead to better pattern recognition Be patient and slow down in the moment Being an opportunist is sometimes necessary Learning from other hunters and seeking advice can elevate hunting skills Social media has become a double-edged sword for hunters Consistency is key when it comes to posting content on Instagram Social media and external validation can take away from the joy of hunting Positive mindset and mental toughness are essential for competing at a high levelAnd so much more!

Tue, 23 May 2023 - 1h 00min - 314 - #288 - 8 Years Of Exodus! Reflecting on the Last 8 Years of Exodus and Our Anniversary Sale!
Exodus is celebrating its 8-year anniversary by reflecting on its journey and offering a 25% off sale! We discuss the impacts of the company culture and the importance of taking action. We also discuss challenges in the trail camera industry, lessons learned from interviewing hunters, misconceptions of the outdoor industry, important lessons in hunting, the value of relationships, and avoiding putting oneself or others on a pedestal. We discuss:
Impact on the trail camera market through warranty policies and D2C model Different demographics buy different types of trail cameras Mistakes and setbacks are inevitable in business, and it's important to learn from them and adapt Close relationships are important Taking pride in positively impacting the outdoor camera space The market for trail cameras has become increasingly competitive, with fewer new brands popping up Being nimble and adapting to market shifts is crucial for success in the industry Although more competitive, newer brands can be successful with the tools and communities available in the hunting industry. The most rewarding aspect of Exodus is being involved with good people, building a culture one can believe in, and seeing personnel grow. Everyone has their own struggles and challenges, regardless of their level of success. Gratitude for one's customers and supporters should always be expressed. Controlling ground scent significantly prevents deer from scooting around cameras during hunting season. Ideal terrain features for cell cameras include the tops of drainages leading into a bench, hardwood fingers into swamps and marshes, and fence gaps or community scrapes at the bottom of a hub. Tops of drainages leading into a bench are great terrain features to use cell cameras on for intel purposes. Whitetail hunting can be approached in many different ways, but it's important to have conviction in your process. Successful whitetail hunters share common traits of being methodical and organized in their approach. Winter inventory is more impactful than summer inventory for hunting purposes.

Does this solve the conflicts on public ground Fairchase, is it solved by implementing on only 3% of the land Does banning trail cams reduce pressure on land Would limiting trail cameras per person be a better alternative Is it your right to not have your picture taken on public land Is this ban upholding their duty to manage the land best for everyone How practical is a VIN-type number Would the trap system work for Trail Cameras Did the BHA advocate on behalf of its members well enough Are the decision-makers informed enough to be passing this vote Are trail cams the biggest technological concern when we consider fairchase The final outcome of the vote, what do we make of the “soft commitment”And So Much More!
