  • On this episode of Michigan WIld Nate and returning guest Cam Carpenter dive into the success story of Cam's 2024 archery buck. Cam is no stranger to shooting above average bucks in Michigan even at his young age. He has tagged multiple mature deer and enjoys the process and the challenge it offers each year.

    Even though this buck was shot during the October lull, this story starts over the summer. Cam gained access to a new property and had no idea what to expect. While expectations were soon set shortly after deploying cams as multiple bucks showed up and stayed leading up to October 1st.

    As the first few weeks of the season progressed Cam had multiple encounters with this deer. He stayed persistent and stuck to his game plan. Every encounter Cam continued to learn more about the buck and how he used the property. All that came together on October 17th when Cam shot his October Lull Buck!

  • On this episode of Michigan WIld, Nate Rozeveld is solo this week. Nate takes the opportunity to do a season update and break down some of his hunts where he saw target deer and discuss the Recurve Debacle. The fall of 2024 has been exciting and challenging for Nate. He has had multiple encounters with target deer every week of October so far. Each encounter has been under different circumstances and yet to reveal a punched tag.

    Facing different crop rotations and an influx of deer density has been part of the challenge and has found Nate hunting multiple October mornings. The morning of the 25th proved to be the start of the Debacle. Nate goes into detail of the hunt and the decisions that lead to the tree he found himself in and what ultimately led to a shot on a buck with his recurve.

    The story didn't end with a grip and grin, however Nate still has the desire and confidence to continue hunting with his recurve. October is almost to a close with some good hunts left. Nate will continue to make strategic moves to get in front of a target deer or kill a whitetail with his recurve.

  • On this week of The Last 7 Days, Shane Loney joins Nate Rozeveld to recap the 3rd week of Michigan's archery season. Shane's fall started with a hiccup as he had an accident while setting a treestand. After some surgery and having his thumb wrapped and splint he hasn't let that slow him down. Fortunately he is still able to shoot his bow, and has some great friends that have helped him set stands and make strategic moves.

    Up until this point of the season both guys talk about their personal experiences with seeing some great deer and having some solid sits that just haven't had the desirable outcomes. Nate feels he was just too passive on a few sits and it cost him an opportunity at a target buck. Shane has been getting some daylight pictures of his target deer, but hasn't found himself quite there yet either.

    However both Nate and Shane are eagerly anticipating the upcoming cold front paired with the later part of October. This is when both guys move into targeting specific transition areas next to bedding and feel it's a great opportunity to catch a mature buck on his feet, either in the morning or evening.

  • On this episode of Michigan Wild, Nate and Brad Speet kick off The Last 7 Days wk2. Brad found himself wrapping his tag around his first public land archery buck. Brad is a part of the Half Ass Hunting podcast and previously joined Michigan Wild talking about salmon fishing earlier this fall. Not only does Brad get after the fish, he also is torn up with whitetail hunting. Recapping the last 7 days of October found both guys having some great hunts, even leading up into the "October Lull". Nate discusses a few of his hunts that have produced some great up and coming bucks, just not the target deer in bow range. Brad was actually able to shoot his buck October 15th and took advantage of being mobilbe, not relying on trail cams, and hunting the sign, not where he felt he had to be.

    The way Brad hunted this buck down was inspiring and a great story. From watching the deer get out of his bed and proceed to within bow range was the sum of all the hard work, dedication to learning, and not being afraid to try new tactics. The 2nd week of October is behind us and both guys are looking forward to the next week. Nate is still searching for a deer to target and Brad has a solid play on some deer he has history with. Everyday that ticks by leads to some of the best hunting opportunities for the fall.

  • On this episode of Michigan WIld Nate and Gideon Montgomery have a great conversation focused on chasing whitetails on public land. Gideon has a great story. He didn't grow up in a hunting family, so he cut his teeth learning how to hunt whitetails on public land in Michigan. He was fortunate enough to have a few mentors that pointed him in the right direction and he has continued to put in the time and effort to get better every fall. Gideon enjoys filling the freezer every year and admits that he has a hard time passing a good doe.

    Along with starting whitetail hunting he also found himself going out west his second season of hunting. There is a parallel to how Gideon hunts today that reflects the early years of western hunting and his desire to always go on an adventure. Public land has never intimidated him and he knows that effort and desire can lead to more success. Strolling into a piece of public he has never hunted and the adventure that waits is what he seeks each fall.

  • On this episode of Michigan Wild, Nate Rozeveld and Hunter Sparks discuss various topics related to hunting and outdoor activities in Northern Michigan. They talk about their excitement for the upcoming hunting season, the difference between hunting the bigwoods and agriculture, and the benefits of learning from podcasts, YouTube videos, and social media. They also touch on the Michigan youth hunt, trapping, trout fishing, and the Michigan elk herd. Hunter shares his experience with the elk herd and how he fulfilled his goal of finding his first elk shed this past spring, which took a lot of effort and consistency.

    Being in Northern Michigan, Hunter deals with a low deer density and he has found success targeting bucks where they seek refuge in the fall. He likes finding rublines that lead him to these secluded areas that prove a buck has been and likes to be there. Hunter then proceeds to set up an ambush with a ground blind, a tactic that is successful because there is a lack of suitable trees to hunt out of. This strategy has helped Hunter shoot some awesome bucks the past few years and is something Nate is looking forward to implementing this fall as well.
