Deer Hunt - Big Buck Registry - Fueled By Treestand Wingman

Hunting a hay bale in the fields of Kansas can be quite a contrast from hunting the mountain tops of New Hampshire. Craig Cushman, the VP of Marketing for Hunter Specialties, can speak from experience about each of these methods.  He's spent a good deal of time working for "outdoor" companies too and he shares his career story. From college to Garmin to Thompson Center to Ruger and now to Hunter Specialties, Craig has made a living marketing the very products he loves and uses everyday in the deer woods.  How did he get there?  Craig shares stories from the field and the office in this podcast! Stay tuned!

Brandon is a full time college pre-med student, works a steady job, but spends all of his free time preparing for deer season inside city limits.

Some of us are so used to hunting the big woods that we overlook opportunity close to town. Granted, it might mean that you will have a visual of your vehicle from your tree stand and will need avoid a jogger or two, but big deer live and thrive in urban areas too. With the right set up, tactics, awareness, proficiency testing, and tags you too could take a monster buck not far from downtown. Dan Spencer takes us hunting in the parks around Des Moines, Iowa and tells about his whitetail blue print for success in urban areas.

David March grew up influenced by the lifestyle of inner city living, and not the glamorous kind. Being shot can change your whole perspective on life. That's what happened to David March. Fortunately, David's uncle had the insight to briefly introduce David to an outdoor hunting way of life when he was a boy, and that stuck. After the shooting incident, David made the leap from the city way of life to the country way of life, and he never looked back. David claims that this change saved his life. This is David's story...

Meet Dean Capuano, host of the Outdoor Channel's Swarovski Optics Quest.  You'd think that a host of a TV show might have one different path to television, but this one is a bit different.  Dean started his hunting passion in the heart of the smallest state in the union, Rhode Island.  After an amazing college hockey career and after being drafted by the Boston Bruins, a career ending injury eliminated the path to professional hockey.   Thanks to a call from his sister, Dean started a job as a customer service rep for Swarovski Optics, and the rest is history.  Dean shares the details with us.

If you added up all the whitetail bucks that Gordon Whittington has written of over the last 30+ years, you'd read over 1000 incredibly well crafted stories about some of the largest whitetails the world has ever seen.

Did you know that England has 6 species of deer? And, that technically, because of how the antler growing season falls for one of the species, that you can hunt deer all year round? Yep, it's true. These are just a couple of the facts that we learned. We interview Matt Goodlife, a game management specialist, to figure out what deer hunting is like in England and to explore the similarities and differences between hunting in the United States and hunting across the pond.

From a very early age Melissa Bachman was introduced to the hunting lifestyle. It was not uncommon to find Melissa in a hunting stand or a goose blind before school when she was a teenager and it wasn't long after that when Melissa knew that she wanted to hunt for a living. There were challenges along the way and many people told Melissa that it couldn't be done. Today, she is living the life she intended to live. And, she has become the major target of some of the most high profile anti-hunters in the world. Melissa tells her story about how she got to where she is today and how to deal with the passive aggressive anti-hunter to the extremist.

We learn from Jim Snow how he strategizes and plans for hunts and how Jim successfully kills big whitetail bucks. And get this: Jim also invented theEuroHanger.
