This weeks podcast is the first part of a two part series on scouting. Enjoy Wayne

Hey there! This week Tommy and I take some time to share some deer stories centered around close encounters from the ground. As I have said many times lately, please excuse any audio issues while we work out some equipment quirks. Enjoy -Wayne

This weeks episode is an open chat on some of the preseason tasks Tommy and I are undertaking. We have the usual amount of topic creep and such. We are getting used to each other so it will take a while longer to mesh. Either way, there are some good tips and banter in there. Enjoy -Wayne

It is great to back! This episode is full of chit chat and nonsense from myself and my pal Tommy. Pardon the audio level, beer break, microphone issues and background noise. We are working out the bugs. -Wayne

Here is a quick update of the status of the podcast. Thank you for all of the support.

This week we chat about my Rut hunting vacation and discuss 2 hunts in particular. These were very exciting hunts for me and I am happy to share them with you. – Wayne

With the Rut starting to kick off in most areas I thought it would be a good time to take strategy. Today, we discuss recent hunting updates and tactics for hunting during the seeking phase of the rut. (picture is explained… Enjoy! Wayne

What’s up Peeps? Today’s show is a brief hunting update. I jabber about recent history, listener questions, resurrected Bucks and the coming rut. Enjoy!

Well, it is that time of year. The leaves are falling from the trees, the daylight is getting shorter and the cold weather is moving in. You know what that means? The WHITETAIL RUT! This is the time of year every hunter looks forward to. In this episode we discuss what is the Rut? What are the different phases of the rut? What are some rut triggers and supressors? Last we round it out with some tactics on how to bag that buck of a lifetime. Before we get to the rut I took some time to give my hunting season update. IT has been slow but I had a pleasant surprise. I discuss the BigDeerHunters.com Big Daddy Buck Stick. Last, we finish it off with some feedback and questions.

  I'm back with another late night episode of The Bowhunter's Journal. Since I am a bit pressed for time I had to squeeze this episode in. So, I decided to have a chit-chat episode. I start with a little Jets rant and then jump over to the VP debates that I just finished watching. Next I chat about the Rifle Mountain/Deer Camp work weekend and my dinner mishap. Next I give an update to my hunting season. Last, I finish it off with our first ever Questions and Feedback Segment. We cover choosing a new recurve bow, a tip for a bow hoist alternative, Awesome Notes app for a hunting log, arrow through the hand picture on the Facebook page and tips for setting up trail cameras.

This episode we are going to discuss a few different topics. First up is my Opening Day report. Had a "kinda" close encounter with a "target buck" Next, I give my short review of the Scoutlook DeerLog App. Last we talk about deer glands.I know, I know, it was supposed to be on scouting... I explain that.  After I butcher the pronunciation of odocoileus virginanus, I jump into each gland breakdown. There are 8 major glands (and a bunch of not-so-major ones) in a deer body that are used for communication and interaction. We are going to cover the Interdigital, Metatarsal, Tarsal, Preorbital, Forehead, Nasal, Preputial ans Salivary Glands. Much of the information has been conducted by Dr. Karl V. Miller of the Danial B. Warnell School of Forest Resources at the University of Georgia. I also discuss the Vomeronasal Organ (that was a mouthful...). Let me apologize for the squeaky chair. I am moving the studio around and apparently I haven't worked out all of the bugs....   Shameless Plugs:   Facebook: http://facebook.com/TheBowhuntersJournal Youtube: http://youtube.com/TheBowhuntersJournal Twitter: http://twitter.com/Bow_Hunting   Happy Hunting   Wayne    

This weeks episode is focused on two topics. First, we will cover how I recently dealt with some hunter harassment, what the laws are against such acts and some tips on how you can deal with these situations. This may be especially helpful for you new hunters. Next I break down what I carry in my hunting pack. I go into detail about the items that I carry, how I create redundancy for each item and When I use each of the items I carry. Hopefully you pick up some tips to round our your EDC, or Every Day Carry in the deer woods. Good luck to all who have started hunting already and don't forget to share you pictures and stories on the Facebook Page at http://facebook.com/TheBowhuntersJournal See ya next week!
