The Midwest is a traditionally coveted region for whitetail hunting and growing big bucks, which is why every year we are eagerly tuned in to recent hunting experiences and the success a season can bring. Our resident midwest hunter, Show Producer and Land Consultant Mike Tepe joins us for this week's podcast to recap another challenging, successful and educational year. Mike talks about his whitetail management efforts leading info the fall and how they all impacted his end results both positively and negatively. Mike shares a lot of information about EHD and the difficulty that brings to any land owner dealing with such, and how he himself adjusts and refocuses from time to time during challenging seasons. This is yet another deep dive into whitetail hunting with one of our own. Many of Mike's efforts can also be seen in his Midwest Mindset series on CarbonTV!

We continue our whitetail saga on the podcast this week with one of the best to ever do it; Don Higgins. For those who don't know Don, he is one of the best whitetail managers and land consultants in the business and has been for a long time. In addition to his wealth of knowledge, Don still considers himself to be a student of the game and a student of the whitetail; studying these animals religiously and taking something away from every interaction. He joins our team to talk everything whitetail and what it takes to grow, hunt and tag big bucks year after year. The guys talk hunting tactics, management strategies, EHD, moon phases, aging deer, and so much more. We are once again pumped to bring you a second-to-none conversation that any deer hunter should learn from!

Dr. Grant Woods from GrowingDeer.TV joins us this week on Fall Obsession Podcast to talk everything whitetails! Dr. Woods is a well-known and respected wildlife biologist and deer manager whose research, tactics and strategies have been proven to create deer hunting paradises for decades. Sam and Ryan cover a lot of ground with Dr. Woods in this episode, talking habitat management, food plot biology, whitetail behavior, moon phases, the rut, and so much more! There is a lot to learn when it comes to managing and growing big whitetails; and certainly so much more than we ourselves think we know. That's why time with an expert like Dr. Woods is so incredibly valuable. We certainly pick his brain and ask him all of the questions on our minds (and maybe yours too) as he boils it down to the science of whitetail hunting!

This week show host Sam Thrash takes the opportunity to cover some ground in a couple different topics he's passionate about. The first being whitetail hunting in Texas, as Sam talks about his 2024 season thus far, and feeling like a "bad hunter". The second half of the episode gets him fired up, discussing hunters rights, anti-hunters, the recent success of getting Proposition 127 shot down in Colorado, and more. The recent "ballot box biology" initiative was enough to (hopefully) wake up some otherwise, let's just say "casual" hunters when it comes to paying attention to what's going on around you; not just in your state, but across the country. As always pages such as ours that openly take a stance in these situations open themselves up to the opposition, and some anti's found some of our Proposition 127 content. Sam talks about dealing with these keyboard warriors while representing hunting respectfully and professional. This is a fun, short episode.

The most valuable time of the year for any whitetail hunter is arguably "The Rut". Bucks are moving around the clock and pushing does outside of their normal routine, and it makes for some entertaining and enjoyable sits in the woods. This week we are joined on the Podcast by one of our own, Ryan Reading, a Pro Staffer from New York. With over 30 years of hunting experience, and roughly a decade of time spent managing his own properties in the Northeast, Ryan has spent a lot of time studying deer behavior, observing patterns and pulling data from his Tactacam Reveal Cell Cams, and not to mention hunting big whitetails. Specifically, a recent 3 year quest to tag his number 1 target that came to fruition in 2024 in an epic, heated rut hunt! Ryan tells us the story and his history with this specific buck, and we talk whitetail management strategies, tactics, and how to hunt big bucks pre-rut, during the rut, and post rut!

Having returned from the mountains of Central Idaho, Sam sits down to spend some time reflecting on one of his most incredible, epic and intense hunting trips to date. Invited to join friends Galen, Chris and Ben for the 2024 season, the crew took their horseback pack trip 25 miles into the backcountry searching for elk in untouched country. Last week in episode 208 the four men shared the story with us from around the fire in Elk Camp. This week Sam dives into greater details throughout the trip; talking specifics about the hunt and the experience, including the mental and physical challenges he was not entirely prepared for. He also shares the story of their adventure getting off the mountain, and how the crew was awake for over 24 hours on the last day in an effort to overcome some risky challenges and make it home safely. The Steep and Deep country is both beautiful and brutal.

This episode takes us deep into the mountains of Central Idaho with show host Sam, and friends Galen, Chris and Ben. Earlier in 2024 this crew packed in 25 miles on horseback for what would turn out to be an epic and extreme backcountry experience! Challenged by difficult access and extreme terrain, this crew overcame many challenges during a week in the "steep and deep" country. This podcast comes directly from Elk Camp, recorded around the fire on the last evening in the mountains. The men reflect on the week, the highs and the lows, their appreciation for the pack animals, and above all the highlight of the trip when they called in a bull on day 5, playing him into archery range and the successful moments that followed! This is an experience these men will never forget, and we are happy to have you all join them!

With November quickly approaching, all eyes are on Colorado and Proposition 127 which would prohibit the hunting of Mountain Lions, Bobcats and Lynx in the State. Anti-hunting extremists have pushed their way to the ballot box in one of hunting's most desirable States in an effort to suppress hunting through the uneducated voter. This "Ballot Box Biology" is devastating to any Fish and Game Department, and to hunters and any outdoors men and women who are actually educated in and responsible for carrying out proper wildlife management efforts. Many wildlife and conservation organizations have been diligently fighting this fight, with C.R.W.M. and Dan Gates leading the charge. Dan joins us for this episode to share the many issues that Proposition 127 holds, the long term detrimental impact it would have if passed, why cat hunting is a good thing, and much more. This is the line in the sand between hunters and the anti's, and a Proposition like this passing could cause a domino effect to other game species or other States. Even if you are not from Colorado, every hunter should be paying attention to this. Listen to this episode, share it with anyone you know in Colorado, and help educate others on why they should vote NO on Proposition 127.

For our 200th Podcast Episode, Sam is joined by a fellow outdoorsman and podcaster Johnny Mack from Soul Seekers! Both Johnny and Sam have developed a brotherhood and a bond through hunting and podcasting; sharing similar experiences, successes and struggles while hosting award-nominated shows. These two men talk about the journey; from day one until now and moments of both trial and achievement along the way. They discuss their own personal development through hunting and their shows over the years, and how it has made them better men in a world of weakness and uncertainty. Hosting a show, building a brand and managing an organization in the hunting industry takes, consistency, resiliency and a strong mental game. But we all remember there is no effort without error and shortcoming, and these two are the men in the arena.

Jesse Johnson is one of the greatest woodsmen we know! Local to north Texas, Jesse has blazed trails into public land hunting for whitetail and hogs with two favored weapons of choice; a traditional bow and an old-school Flintlock Muzzleloader. Jesse returns as a guest on the podcast to share with us once again his passion for public land and traditional bow hunting. We talk trad archery, bow and arrow builds, and the grind of hunting public with a stick and string. Jesse also shares with us two of his most recent memorable non-resident hunts for Colorado elk with a muzzleloader and Canadian black bear with a trad bow. Jesse's passion for the outdoors is contagious, and over the years has peaked many of our own interests in picking up an old-school stick and string and getting after it! One thing's for sure, Jesse has developed a set of skills that set him apart, no matter if he's rocking the long bow or the ol' smoke pole!
