Deer Hunt - Big Buck Registry - Fueled By Treestand Wingman

If you haven't heard of the Hillbilly Weatherman by now after the winter we just endured, then you either live in a cave (not a bad thing) or you live in an area that didn't see a flake of snow. Many northerners would kill for either scenario. Adam Evans is the Hillbilly Weatherman and he tells the weathercast like most probably think it. And, turns out, Adam is a really really good deer hunter. So much so that when we pitched him the idea of being a guest he said, "I LIVE FOR DEER HUNTING". Our kind of crowd... Adam tells us all about his viral internet journey that he's been on over a few short months, amassing more Facebook followers in a week than most business pages will collect in a lifetime. Adam shares a few deer hunting stories, gives us a weather forecast, and a deer hunting forecast for 2015. The Hillbilly weatherman is authentic, brutally downeast honest, and above all, a really good person, even though he swears a little bit. HERE'S WHAT WE DISCUSS IN THIS EPISODE: Less is More, Helping Others,

A cornerstone of The Sportsman Channel, Scott Leysath has cooked, sliced, diced, and served every type of game you can imagine. Known better as The Sporting Chef, we sat down with Scott to cover some very interesting culinary topics that will point blank make your game dishes better.  Also on the menu: The #EatWhatYouKill or #FieldtoFork Movement, or whatever you want to call it these days, otherwise know as hunting-killing-eating free range organic meats. This concept is gaining steam as evidenced by the likes of mega-famed podcaster Joe Rogan posing on the cover of Petersen's Hunting Magazine while carrying a hindquarter of a recently killed moose. Which reminds me, there seem to be a bunch of outdoor podcasters making magazine covers lately. From corned venison, to camp smokers, to over cooking game, to venison jerky, to avoiding "gamey" flavors- Scott shares decades of culinary knowledge with us on this show! A great episode to tune into if you are eating meat from your hunts! Would You Please Help Us

For Greg, an online hunting chat room was all it took to plan a Colorado public-land muley hunt. A few online conversations with some like-minded hunters in January lead to a muley bow kill of a lifetime in September. There's a first time for everything. Greg was able to find many hunters from around the country all seeking the same thing: a self guided public land hunt. From a virtual online hunting chat room to a real life hardcore first-time muley mountain hunt, this is Greg's story. HERE'S What We Discuss: From Minnesota to Colorado- A First Time Muley Hunt, Public, Self Guided An Online Hunting Chat Room Two Birds, One Stone, So to Say January Planning for September Hunting Altitude Sickness and 3 Magic Pills Cardio Training, Hydration, 8000 Ft to 12000 Just Another Tourist with New Boots Preparation: Shooting 3x Per Week at 20, 40, 60, 80 Water Bladder, GPS, Water Filters, and Game Bags Cutting the Pack in Half, Arrows, Spare Release, and a Phone Testing Your Broadheads *IMPORTANT Dense Timber and Aspe

Have you ever found a tick on you after a day in the field or deep woods?  Most of us have and many hunters have been bitten by ticks. Ticks carry several pathogens that cause disease, but the most well known is Lyme Disease. Although not prevalent in some parts of the country, New England was, and still is, a major hot spot. There are ways to prevent the spread of this disease and we discuss all those aspects with Dr. Alan Eaton of the University of New Hampshire's Co-Operative Extension.  We also speak with Randy Gagne, a former Big Buck Registry guest and victim of Lyme Disease. We explore the myths, the facts, and how you can walk out of the woods feeling a bit safer. We discuss how to identify the most threatening ticks, where they are found in the country most frequently, help you determine if you are at risk, and what to do when you are bit.  The fun starts this Saturday on the Big Buck Podcast!

And then there's the Viking Buck. So named recently by our own Dusty Phillips. Chris Jacobson's 2014 Buck is one to remember, not for tall tines but for the incredibly thick main beams! The smallest diameter point is 4.5 inches, near the tip! Makes you want to devise a whole new scoring system for these fat "viking helmet" like racks. Water displacement perhaps?

VERMILLION COUNTY, INDIANA-  Sometimes, after a hard day's work, all you get is ONE hour. That's it.  You take what you can get.   Richard Swinford caught that last hour of sunlight on a windy November day, threw on his brown Carhartt coveralls, a grey hoodie, and headed to his deer stand on the family farm.  What happened after that is nothing shy of extraordinary.

When a big buck appears on your game camera, your interest in hunting the area peaks (especially when the buck exhibits 14 points with long tines).

Comedian, hunter, traveler, all-natural master caller of numerous species of game, and outdoor lifestyle ambassador extraordinaire. These are titles that we could use to describe Josh Carney. Perhaps the most distinguishing characteristic of the Son of the South is his unparalleled positive attitude and ability to easily make anyone near him laugh, smile, and observe in aw.  Josh's story starts with a hurdle that most people may never get over. Josh has a chair with wheels and one with a motorized track, but hardly needs either, despite being paralyzed from the waist down. Some would view his story as tragic, but to Josh it's simply a motivator.  HELP FUND THIS SHOW: www.BigBuckRegistry.com/donate Josh shares his entire story this Big Buck Podcast!

Standing next to a water cooler at work might be the last place you'd think to scout for new hunting spots. You also might not get super excited when a co-worker says they have 20 acres of 4 wheeler property and you're welcome to it. But for Mike Behrmann, this was a dream come true.  One thing Mike has learned over the years is that asking access to hunt a property, even if the conversation starts at the company water cooler, is a skill that all hunters should perfect to be successful in the field. In Mike's case, it lead to a buck of a lifetime. Have You Heard Any Untold Deer Stories?

The 2015 Archery Trade Show Association's Annual Trade Show has come and gone once again, but Jay and Dusty were able to capture the moment with an adventurous trek to the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis, Indiana.  The Show was held this year from January 8-10 and is held each January for eager hunting apparell buyers and sellers to gawk and pitch the latest merchandise for the year.  Anything and everything hunting is here and is the basis for what each outdoor retailer, large and small, will stock in their stores.  A private show, it is only open to hunting industry insiders but for those that can attend, including celebrities, hunting television personalities, bloggers, writers and outdoor podcasters, it allows attendees a glimpse at what's NEW for 2015.  Jay and Dusty report there findings and review the show in this episode of the Big Buck Registry's Deer Hunting Podcast.

Hunting alone can be rewarding, challenging, and humbling.  You'd think that having your own film crew to film your hunts, if you were making a living at it, would be the way to go. But not for Tim Burnett or Remi Warren.  Tim started the concept of his television show SOLO HUNTER long before the television show even existed. If fact, if it weren't for Tim having filmed a few of his hunts of himself by himself, SOLO HUNTER TV wouldn't exist today. Turns out he needed all of his film work in a pinch (when another show collapsed from failed funding).  And, he's even been on the Joe Rogan Experience Podcast. Today Tim continues to hunt on his own, film on his own, produce on his own, negotiate contracts with television executives on his own, you get the picture.  Tim is the Solo Hunter and this is his story....

It's not often that we hear of an anti-hunter crossing the line and joining the likes of the hunting community. Well, believe it or not, it does happen. We tend to think that once a hunter, always a hunter and once an anti-hunter, always and anti-hunter. This was not the case for Krystal Buskirk.  Krystal was once on the other side of the fence, where the anti-hunters roam.  Now she can't imagine life without hunting and that's where we begin this tale.   FEEDBACK & SHOW IDEAS: 724-613-2825 or Feedback@BigBuckRegistry.com In This Episode We Cover: Turning a Non-Hunter into a Hunter and a Vegetarian into a Meat Eater The Antler Trap Discussions The Difference Between a Hunter and a Killer The First Kill, The First Hunt Respect for the Animal and Take Only What You Need How an Anti Hunter Learns to Hunt (quickly) Trail By Fire Outdoors & Importance to Krystal's Hunt 1200 Miles Away Big Buck Deer Hunting Missouri Style for a Terrapin Marylander $800, 12 States, and a Nissan Hatch-back Later...

Let's take a deeper look at deer movement. We always make assumptions based on our own subjective visual studies, and sometimes journal notes, about where deer go. But do we really know?  Jim Stickles conducted graduate studies on this exact topic as a student of Dr. Karl Miller and Dr. Bob Warren at the University of Georgia. With the help of some very sophisticated deer collars and software, and with the aid of Jeff Schmitz and Big Game Logic, Jim was able to uncover some fascinating facts about deer and deer movement that we didn't really know before.  SHOW FEEDBACK: 724-613-2825 or Jay@BigBuckRegistry.com IN THIS SHOW WE COVER THE FOLLOWING: Why Is Dusty in Trouble?
