But for those of us without primo ground and a boatload of late season food, a shed hunt often produces little more than a walk in the woods and sore feet.  It's likely that for MOST deer hunters, you'd be  better off using this time for other activities that may actually help your hunting next fall because, in all honesty, shed hunting kinda sucks ..read more

If you're a deer hunter, you've likely dreamed of buying your very own hunting property. A place where you can have total control over what is done to the property, a place to bring family and friends, a place to kill big bucks, a place to simply call your own. But sometimes, land ownership isn't all it's cracked up to be. The hunting on a given property may fall short of our expectations. We may have forces beyond our control that hamper our enjoyment of the property. Owning ground may prove to be more of a nightmare than a dream. So what should you do to make sure it's your dream that become ..read more

Deer season is winding down for many if not most, and it's time to sit back and reflect on our season. Did you get the buck you were after? Did you see the deer numbers you thought you should be seeing? Did the deer use your property in predictable ways? Were you able to access your hunting locations without bumping deer? All of these questions may reveal that our season could have been better from a deer hunting perspective. So what if you're unhappy with how your season went? If that's you, it just might be time for a hunting property tune-up.  In this episode of the How to Hunt Deer Po ..read more

So in this episode of the How to Hunt Deer Podcast, Josh talks with Pierce Nelles about their late season deer hunting strategy.  Connect with the How to Hunt Deer Podcast on Instagram.

There's still a lot of season left. But for many of us, the passing of the rut means it's time to return to the real world.
