In this episode of the DEER IQ podcast we’re starting a new series called “public land - beating the odds” where we dig back into the strategies, mindsets, and approaches to be successful on public land despite the many challenges that come with it. I’m joined this week for part 1 with Jared Scheffler of Whitetail Adrenaline, who is very well known for his aggressive approach to public land hunting, and his raw documentation of it in his DVD series. It’s a great conversation aimed at beginners, but will really benefit anyone listening who hunts public land, or is thinking about it. And yes we have our free journal you can download below, that will really help you get the most out of this podcast. Here are the top things to look for during this episode.• What did Jared struggle with initially when starting public land hunting, and what would he tell other hunters just starting out?• What does he mean by “playing defense” and “playing offense” when hunting, and how does this specifically relate to the right approach for public land?• What is the antidote to territorial hunters when you run into them?• What does Jared mean and refer to as “bear holes” vs. “rabbit holes” and why is this concept so important? • What was his 2 big “aha” moments in public land hunting that helped propel him to where he is today?Year Theme: To consistently take the top deer where you huntSeries: So there I was..Episode # 65Guest: Host Adam Lewis, Jared SchefflerIQ ranking - 5 (intermediate)Jared's Website & DVD's: https://whitetailadrenaline.com/ DEER IQ Services: • The NEW Deer IQ TEST & Consultation HERE: https://deeriq.com/full-assessment/ • For interest in our NEW Whitetail Workshop see HERE: https://deeriq.com/deeriq-whitetail-workshop/ • Other Services including our Coached Small Group, land and hunting plans for your private land, or a public land hunting analysis, visit HERE: https://deeriq.com/services/ More from DEER IQ: FOUNDATIONS Episode Mentioned: https://youtu.be/NBWdFHE92lg Website: https://deeriq.com Facebook Private Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/511109237864762 Deer IQ FREE Journal: https://deeriq.com/journal/ Pressured Public Lands Hunting Guide: https://deeriq.com/public-land-hunting-guide/ Newsletter Signup: https://deeriq.com/signup/ Patreon - Contribute Financially to Deer IQ: https://www.patreon.com/DeerIQPatreon Scent Control Regimen: https://deeriq.com/scentcontrol-regimen/

In this special episode of the Deer IQ podcast I’m going to be starting a story-based series called “So there I was - hunting stories of epic adventure.” This is where I will tell a story of a specific buck, and also break down how and why it worked out. I’ll be inserting these here and there throughout this year. I’ll also apply some of the principles we’ve been going over in the 6 steps or core competencies of highly effective hunters, and how those worked in this real world hunting situation. This hunt is about my 2016 Ohio 13 point, and the story is kind of wild and shows the interconnectedness of whitetail hunters - in both success and failure. And yes we have our free journal you can download below, that will really help you get the most out of this podcast. Ok so, here are the top things to look for during this episode.• What was so disappointing about my previous season, 2015, and what can we learn from that failure?• How did the “first sit rule” or strategic strike I talk about so much about, come into play with several bucks in this story?• How much time passed between getting high value intel about this particular buck, and me getting the shot?• What were key moments and decisions I made when it came to tracking and retrieving this buck that were pivotal in finding him?• What happened when 2 other hunters who pursued this deer for 3 years found out about his demise, and the big twist here - what well known person did this wind up being?Year Theme: To consistently take the top deer where you huntSeries: So there I was..Episode # 64Guest: Host Adam LewisIQ ranking - 5 (intermediate)DEER IQ Services: • The NEW Deer IQ TEST & Consultation HERE: https://deeriq.com/full-assessment/ • For interest in a Whitetail Workshop, our Coached Small Group, land and hunting plans for your private land, or a public land hunting analysis, visit HERE: https://deeriq.com/services/ More from DEER IQ: FOUNDATIONS Episode Mentioned: https://youtu.be/NBWdFHE92lg Website: https://deeriq.com Facebook Private Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/511109237864762 Deer IQ FREE Journal: https://deeriq.com/journal/ Pressured Public Lands Hunting Guide: https://deeriq.com/public-land-hunting-guide/ Newsletter Signup: https://deeriq.com/signup/ Patreon - Contribute Financially to Deer IQ: https://www.patreon.com/DeerIQPatreon Scent Control Regimen: https://deeriq.com/scentcontrol-regimen/

This episode is our final episode of year 1 where our overarching theme was - to be a greater deer hunter. If you haven’t listened to all our series, I invite you to take the next few weeks to do so - we started with Barriers we need to overcome, got in the mind of mature bucks, had a deep dive into public land hunting, dissected private land strategies, dove deep into the science of deer, looked at what stewardship really is, then ended with some major controversies. But over the course of the year I asked many of our guests this one overarching question - what exactly does it take to be a great deer hunter, and this week we look at what they said. You can look back at the full episodes with those guests, I’ll put those in the notes. And if you want to get more out of our podcast, download our free journal, thats really going to help.

This episode bridges two of our series - controversies & solutions, and what it takes to be a great hunter. It does this because this episode includes both someone that many feel is one of the best whitetail hunters ever, with probably the biggest controversy ever - Mitch Rompola and his infamous 1998 buck. We cover what 3 people that knew him first hand say about that infamous deer, and also some strange hunting techniques he used. And yes, I (Adam) knocked on Mitch’s door in an attempt to get an interview, and will reveal what happened, and will finally answer one big question that’s been floating around for years. And, to be clear, I have utmost respect for all the guests on this episode and their takes on this topic. My "solutions" at the end are for people like me - the masses that never saw the buck, or knew Mitch. A special thanks to those guests and Dan Schmidt for letting me use the video clips. Here's what to look for: Guest 1 - John Ohmer (We are at a show for some of these, so excuse the background noise.)• What is the exact nature of John’s relationship to Mitch, and I think it’s important to understand relationships as we analyze some of our interviews and keep these in mind.• Why John says Mitch told him and some other people to stand down.• What does John say about seeing an infamous shed (which another guest comments on later)Guest 2: Richard P. Smith• What does Richard say about the missing 30 minute video of the recovery?• I will also include a clip of this which has circulated around a lot, and pay attention to Mitch’s reaction, and other various details of the video - like how the antlers and skull actually look, which is where a lot of controversy stems. Guest 3: John Eberhart (Courtesy of Deer and Deer Hunting Editor Dan Schmidt & including him in the video - see that full video here: https://youtu.be/zqafGQt1riI?si=xGjJWi9fqSl9ZmZm) • What is John Eberhart’s interpretation to the SAME shed John Ohmer saw at the same show?• What is his take on the idea that Mitch didn't want recognition?Adam Lewis:• what myth is busted when I knocked on Mitch's door?Year Theme: To Be a Greater HunterSeries: Hunting Controversies & SolutionsEpisode # 56Guests: Host Adam Lewis, Various GuestsIQ ranking - 5 (intermediate)DEER IQ Services:• Surgical Hunting Small Group - email Adam for interest [email protected] • if interested in a whitetail weekend workshop, strategic land and hunting plans for your private land, or a public land hunting analysis, visit here: https://forms.gle/peiUQPgUWDKkGG6g7MORE DEER IQ Stuff: Patreon - Contribute Financially to Deer IQ: https://www.patreon.com/DeerIQPatreon Get started - website overview HERE: https://deeriq.com/full-overview/Facebook Private Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/511109237864762Deer IQ FREE Journal: https://deeriq.com/journal/Deer IQ Test: https://deeriq.com/deeriqtest/Pressured Public Lands Hunting Guide: https://deeriq.com/public-land-hunting-guide/Curriculum: https://deeriq.com/curriculum/Newsletter Signup: https://deeriq.com/signup/

In this episode of the Deer IQ podcast we are in our series - hunting controversies and solutions. I am joined by Adam Miller - host of the Bowhunter Chronicles podcast as we co-air a discussion about the recent Michigan Deer Management Initiative Recommendations. How did those meetings with public input for new regulations actually go, and what will be the outcome for deer hunting in Michigan - we share our takes with some controversial regulations - like youth season restructuring, APR’s coming into play, possible earn a buck, and much more.Here's what to look for in this episode:• What is the hunting culture issue Adam speaks of in Michigan?• What seems to be a big fail in the DMI process according to us both?• Do youth seasons help or hurt with the Michigan buck-centric culture (meaning our obsession to shoot lots of bucks instead of does, which leads to an unhealthy and imbalanced deer herd).• And will baiting be reinstated - is that good or bad?And a whole lot more High IQ stuff in there!Year Theme: To Be a Greater HunterSeries: Hunting Controversies & SolutionsEpisode # 55Guests: Host Adam Lewis, Guest - Adam Miller (Instagram https://www.instagram.com/bowhunterchronicles_podcast/ Website: https://bowhunterchroniclespodcast.com/)IQ ranking - 5 (intermediate)DEER IQ Services:• Surgical Hunting Small Group - email Adam for interest [email protected] • if interested in a whitetail weekend workshop, strategic land and hunting plans for your private land, or a public land hunting analysis, visit here: https://forms.gle/peiUQPgUWDKkGG6g7MORE DEER IQ Stuff: Get started - website overview HERE: https://deeriq.com/full-overview/Facebook Private Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/511109237864762Deer IQ FREE Journal: https://deeriq.com/journal/Deer IQ Test: https://deeriq.com/deeriqtest/Pressured Public Lands Hunting Guide: https://deeriq.com/public-land-hunting-guide/Curriculum: https://deeriq.com/curriculum/Newsletter Signup: https://deeriq.com/signup/Patreon - Contribute Financially to Deer IQ: https://www.patreon.com/DeerIQPatreon

In this episode we’re in a new series - Hunting Controversies & Solutions. I was warned not to cover this topic, because it’s probably the most controversial and maybe divisive one in the deer hunting world - Chronic Wasting Disease, or CWD. But we’re going to look at because I think it’s important to know about & discuss. We’ll get an overview of what it is, how states have handled or mishandled it, and opinions on potential solutions from a DNR Biologist, 2 top scientists, and a very knowledgeable Deer Farmer. And, you’re going to want to write some of this overflowing wealth of wisdom down, and reflect on it after to get the most out of it. Our free journal is the best way to do that - download it below. Here are the top things to look for during this episode:• What do we know, and NOT know about CWD?• What has worked to combat it, and what has not?• How are state DNR agencies measuring the effectiveness of the actions taken to stop the spread?• 2 reasons why Dr. Bronson Strickland says it's so hard to combat.• What Dr. Karl Miller says is so "scary," and what he thinks the deer herd could look like in a few decades if CWD is not stopped. • What the Deer Professor and Deer Farmer (Conquest Scents) Doug Roberts says about the genetic solution, and how deer farms are getting the solution.And a whole lot more High IQ stuff in there!Year Theme: To Be a Greater HunterSeries: Hunting Controversies & SolutionsEpisode # 54Guest: Host Adam Lewis; Chad Stewart, Dr. Bronson Strickland, Dr. Karl Miller, IQ ranking - 5 (intermediate)DEER IQ Services:• Surgical Hunting Small Group - email Adam for interest [email protected] • if interested in a whitetail weekend workshop, strategic land and hunting plans for your private land, or a public land hunting analysis, visit here: https://forms.gle/peiUQPgUWDKkGG6g7MORE DEER IQ Stuff: Get started - website overview HERE: https://deeriq.com/full-overview/Facebook Private Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/511109237864762Deer IQ FREE Journal: https://deeriq.com/journal/Deer IQ Test: https://deeriq.com/deeriqtest/Pressured Public Lands Hunting Guide: https://deeriq.com/public-land-hunting-guide/Curriculum: https://deeriq.com/curriculum/Newsletter Signup: https://deeriq.com/signup/Patreon - Contribute Financially to Deer IQ: https://www.patreon.com/DeerIQPatreon
