Deer Hunt - Big Buck Registry - Fueled By Treestand Wingman

When an athletic event involves repetitive motion in order to achieve success, it's important to understand the biomechanics of that movement.  The golf swing, pitching a baseball, and the archery shot are good examples.  Christian Williams, an exercise science specialist, and avid bowhunter, breaks down the mechanics of the bow shot, how to improve strength and endurance, which muscles are important, and injury prevention. And of course, we talk a bunch about how it all relates to bowhunting.

As we open up 2020, our 8th Season, and 8 years of podcasting here at the Big Buck Registry, we thought it only appropriate to take one last look at 2019.  If you are a frequent listener of the show, you'll know that in each episode we segment off into the Deer News at the beginning and a good deer hunting story at the end. In the last show of 2019, we put together all the best deer stories told by our guests of 2019, and likewise, we thought we'd take a look at all the best deer news stories of 2019 as well, like a time capsule of events.  We visit with Jim Keller, our news anchor, and with some frequent news story contributors, Tim Donze, Jon Guice, and Dan Appelbaum.  And then, through some consolidation of all the news we featured on the show in 2019, we present a deer news year in review, with all the best deer news stories feature on the podcast in 2019.  For Exclusive Content Visit Us Here: BBR Extras OUR SPONSORS:  Minus 33 Merino Wool,  Covert Scouting Cameras, Grizzly Ears, Rackology, BIG BUCK MERCH

Welcome to the Big Buck Registry's Best Deer Hunting stories of 2019.  On almost every show we ask each guest to share a memorable deer story that's meaningful to them.  At the heart of the Big Buck Registry are the stories of the men and women across the world, from all walks of life, that share a common bond in hunting.  We've always felt that the story was just as important as the rest of the show because it brings everything together.  If the rest of the show is the text book, the story is the example. The story brings the hunt to life. So we decided to go back through each show and put together a compilation of the deer stories told throughout the year and share them collectively.  We'll hear from Jeff Johnston, Scott and Seth Perkins, Richard Cook, Anthony Stallone, Harmon Carson, Allison Rauscher, and Phil Vanderpool. This is part two and our last episode of 2019. Cheers to a healthy, prosperous, and successful 2020. OUR SPONSORS:  Minus 33 Merino Wool,  Covert Scouting Cameras, Grizzly Ears, Rackology

Every now and then a new technology comes along that solves a problem that we didn't know we had.  In this case, it's about scoring a trophy animal to within 1/1000 of an inch specificity.  In a computer aided model, you can now remove all human error and get ridiculous precision with the help of Trophy Scan.  Think of it like instant replay meets deer hunting. We sit down with Jeff Johnston to learn about everything Trophy Scan can do for the hunter while looking to preserve a memory and celebrate an animal beyond the traditional taxidermy mount.

Just when you thought you'd heard it all about deer urine, deer scent attractants, deer behavior, and deer farming,  along comes a Richard Cook, the formulation master wizard behind Cooks Fatal Attraction deer scent lures.   Unlike many brands with expired diluted product, Richard raises deer, collects specimens, and ships his extremely fresh undiluted product quickly. It's like shopping for organic anything directly on the farm itself.   We take a deep dive into Richard's deer scent operation.

How do you know when you've found a good hunting spot?  You know it for sure that it's a good spot when you kill your first good buck there.  Allison Rauscher knows this well. After doing her on the ground homework, and then picking the right tree in the right spot on the right property, it all came together recently for Allison one evening on a bow hunt in Wisconsin.  She downed one of those Wisconsin monarch bucks that most have only read about.  We discuss in detail how Allison finally put it all together and what pieces of info she'll take with her on the next hunt to try and do it all over again.

John Eberhart joined us last on Episode 209, where we broke down John's tactics and answered questions based on listener curiosities.  This time is a little different. Jay, now with a few saddle hunts under his belt and a first hand account of what it's like, hits John with numerous questions from the novice to the legendary saddling hunting expert.

Marc Warnke says that it's not so much the hunting strategy, but it's the spot. That means hunting where hunters don't typically hunt, sometimes hunting spots that haven't been hunted in over 20 years and hunting where wheels can't go.  This also means sleeping on bulls or bucks, which means that you're not coming out each day. And that also means hauling in food and gear that one or two hunters couldn't possibly manage.  So how?  Well, Marc turned to pack goats to get to these remote areas with all the gear needed to hunt great spots for days on end.  The rewards are priceless.

It's a game of chess according to Cameran Derefield. There's a king and a pawn.  Which is which, welp, that's to be determined at the end of the deer season.  Studying annual journals about buck behavior and with heavy game camera monitoring, Cameran believes that he can see the target buck's next move and plan accordingly.  It's not instant success, but it is methodical and persistent and generally speaking, Cameran is the one calling checkmate.  Cameran shares with us all his deer hunting techniques, styles and strategies.

There's a long standing northern tradition, especially in New Hampshire and Maine, where wool meets deer hunting. John Glidden is no stranger to this concept.  At age 61 and as President of the company, John reports to work almost daily at the Minus 33 Merino Wool Factory. John prefers tracking the bucks of New Hampshire in the fallen snow over just about any other form of hunting and developed the woolen company out of a need and desire to stay warm in the cold mountains of New Hampshire.

Blake Garrett knows a thing or two about deer hunting because he's seen a thing or two about deer behavior.  Blake takes his approach to deer hunting with scientific overtones.  Studying buck behavior over several years using game cameras and observation, he's noticed some interesting patterning year to year, enough to develop and scientifically test his theories.  Blake is big into positive deer reinforcement when it comes to deer hunter habits and endlessly avoids  negative deer encounter events.  Blake discusses with us in detail his deer hunting approach, habits, and theories.

Ethan, after killing a 200" buck despite having a torn shoulder joint and a separated bicep, knows how to fight through pain to accomplish a goal.  Ethan shares with us his stand approach system, how he pushes the deer trail with his game cameras, and why he prefers hunting early season over any other time.

Dave Paulides returns, this time with a new movie called Missing 411 The Hunted.  An expansion of his book Missing 411, Hunters Unexplained Disappearances focuses on 5 cases all involving a seemingly capable hunter.  The movie explores further details of the cases and dives deep in explanation using maps, visits to the terrain, expert critics, and interviews with those directly involved or affected.  You will leave with far more questions than answers.   The events showcased in Dave's movie defy logic.

When you need to hunt to survive, you learn how to hunt efficiently and effectively.  Phil Vanderpool's hunting journey began in a similar fashion. Today Phil is among the most recognized and respected personalities in the outdoor industry.  Phil broke into the outdoor commercial world when he started filming his hunts using a VHS camcorder and he's never looked back. We discuss Phil's upbringing, his tactics and strategies for hunting big bucks, and discuss in detail his near 4 year hunt for a monster buck he named Obsession.

It's a story that starts 120 years ago, with a small hunting cabin in southern Ohio.  For Joe Godar, a member of a group called the Hunting Junkies, it's a home away from home now with a new cabin on the same 50 acre parcel filled with numerous food plots and treestand locations to hunt any wind.  We discuss Joe's plan for 12 month cycle of food sources, dual planting times during the year, one at a time arrow practice shots, and how to eliminate target panic early in the season.

Per the QDMA Whitetail Report, hunters pursue whitetail deer more than any other species and whitetail hunters contribute financially more than any other hunter segment.  Whitetails are the foundation of the hunting industry.  Because of this impressive impact QDMA releases an annual report that goes deep into data and identifies trends that affect the whitetail's world and the hunters that hunt them.  We thought that it only appropriate to invite Kip Adams back to discuss the highlights of this year's report, as we did last year.  We plan to make it an annual event.  OUR SPONSORS:  Rackology, Minus 33 Merino Wool,  Covert Scouting Cameras, Grizzly Ears,  QUIETKAT,  BIG BUCK MERCH   DISCOUNT CODES: Minus 33 10% OFF: BIGBUCK33 QuietKat 15% OFF: BIGBUCK15 Deer News Here's What We Discuss: Data from 2017-2018 Hunting Season NE, SW, MidWest, West, Canada 72 Pages, Just the Highlights 11th Annual Report, Age Structure 35% of Bucks, 15.5 Years, Different from Year's Past 33% Across the Board A Cultural Deer Huntin

We've focused a bunch on the bow shot, but perhaps we over looked the long range rifle shot. Unless you've had the need to take a 700 yard kill shot, you may not realize how much information is needed to calculate a well placed bullet.  The science is fascinating and the apps are endless. To clear this up, we invited long range hunter and shooting competitor Anthony Stallone to break it all down before you squeeze the trigger on your next long range target.

There have been far more 300" non-typical bucks killed since the early 2000s than ever documented before the year 2000.  So what gives?  Gordon Whittington, the Editor in Chief of North American Whitetail joins us for a second time to explore just that.  Is it genetics, is it food, what can history tell us from hundreds of years ago, what about the big deer that came in the decades before the new millennium?  We discuss all this in detail and dig deep into the Luke Brewster buck story, the monster Illinois buck from 2018, currently featured in North American Whitetail Magazine.
