1:28:19Takeaways Time seems to fly by, especially in hunting seasons. Shed hunting should be done with caution to avoid stressing deer. Many deer still hold their antlers well into March. Misrepresentation in the hunting consulting industry is a concern. Proper land management can significantly enhance hunting properties. Young hunters bring enthusiasm and passion to the sport. Community events are vital for engaging the next generation of hunters. Technology, like cell cameras, has changed hunting dynamics. Ethics in hunting should evolve with technology. Finding a big buck is harder due to increased competition and technology. The competition for mature deer is increasing due to declining populations. State DNRs play a crucial role in managing deer herds effectively. Building fences is becoming a common practice among serious hunters. Creating a sanctuary involves strategic planning and understanding deer behavior. Cedar trees can carry diseases that affect apple trees, but not others. Regulatory changes in Illinois could improve the hunting experience, but require lobbying efforts. Nutrition during gestation is important for deer, but genetics also play a role. Woodsmanship skills are essential for successful hunting and understanding wildlife. Feeding strategies should be adapted based on individual deer behavior and preferences. Supplemental feeding is critical during winter months when food is scarce.…

1:28:39Takeaways: Don received good news about his health tests. Terry and his wife celebrated their 25th anniversary. The hosts discuss the importance of consulting relationships. Integrity is crucial in consulting and client trust. Herd health is a priority during winter months. Nutri Crave corn offers higher calorie content for deer. Sorghum is a viable alternative for food plots. Hidden Access is a new annual screen product. Faith plays a significant role in their business values. Customer service and appreciation are top priorities. We need a different alternative besides sharpshooters for CWD. Human intrusion is more important than habitat projects. Killing big deer is not that complicated. I've never seen one where there's too much food. Christmas was a rescue mission. We want to keep deer on the farm 365 days a year. If you can get a state on board, we will work with you. Don't overcomplicate deer management. The biggest weakness is probably the neighborhood. Make sure there's enough food out there for them.…

1:18:05In this episode of the Chasing Giants podcast, hosts Terry and Don discuss Don's recent health scare and the overwhelming support he received from the community. They transition into a conversation about property management, specifically the concept of a 'ceiling' on what can be achieved with a property. Don emphasizes the importance of recognizing this ceiling and making informed decisions about property management. The discussion then shifts to late-season hunting strategies, encouraging hunters to stick to their goals and not compromise as the season winds down. In this episode, Terry and Don delve into various aspects of deer hunting and management, discussing the peculiarities of deer health, the survival rates of buck fawns, and the effectiveness of mock scrapes. They also address the controversial topic of the second rut, emphasizing that it is a myth, and share strategies for managing poaching and protecting crops. The conversation is rich with insights on deer behavior, health issues, and practical hunting tips. Takeaways Don received overwhelming support during his health scare. Every property has a ceiling that limits potential. Hunters should recognize their property’s ceiling before making decisions. Late-season hunting requires a commitment to original goals. Compromising hunting goals can lead to missed opportunities. The community's support often outweighs negative feedback. Health changes can lead to better lifestyle choices. Understanding deer movement patterns is crucial in late season. Hunters should focus on long-term goals rather than short-term gains. Videoing deer can provide satisfaction without compromising goals. The size of the abscess on the deer was unprecedented. A deer's age can be misleading based on physical appearance. Survival rates for buck fawns are significantly low due to various factors. Mock scrapes can be more effective with ropes than natural vines. Orphaned fawns may struggle with health issues due to lack of maternal care. Bacterial infections can severely impact deer health and antler growth. There is only one rut each year, despite common beliefs about a second rut. Proper management of deer herds can lead to healthier populations. Using Miscanthus as a screen can deter poachers effectively. Unethical hunting practices can undermine conservation efforts.

1:11:38Takeaways Real World will be offering affordable trail camera batteries on their website, providing a cost-effective alternative to the expensive Energizer batteries. The delayed hay harvest has led to increased fawn mortality as the fawns are in the fields when the hay is being cut. This is a reminder of the cause and effect relationship in the ecosystem. Planting potted trees in the fall can be beneficial as they are more likely to survive and establish compared to bare root trees planted in the spring. While cedars can be invasive in some regions, they make great cover and are drought-tolerant. Their growth and impact vary depending on the region. The placement of mineral sites in the same spots year after year is unlikely to significantly attract predators, as deer will become hyper-alert in those areas. Predators are highly adaptable and will find ways to hunt and survive regardless of human interference. Regretting shooting a particular buck is unnecessary because it opened doors for other bucks with more potential to thrive. Hunting goes beyond just hunting and can have a positive impact on the lives of others. Waiting until July to put up trail cameras allows for a better understanding of a buck's antler growth. The main culprits for land management challenges are poor property layout and too many hunters. Being a disciple and sharing the word of Jesus is not limited to preachers and pastors. The impact of a father's love and support can be profound and lasting. Weddings are emotional and special moments that highlight the growth and values instilled in children.

Land management and consulting can be challenging, but also rewarding when clients understand and implement the advice given. Timing for hunting can vary depending on weather conditions, but the last week of October and the first week of November are often good periods to target. Leaving a legacy in the hunting community should involve using one's platform to spread faith, speak the truth, and stand on principles. Memorial Day is a time to remember and honor the sacrifices made by soldiers and their families. Sound Bites "If my plots taste better than anything around, guess where the deer is going to be in my plots." "These deer that are being hit on the road are these young bucks that have just dispersed from their birthplace in recent weeks." "The whole idea of not providing food at certain times of the year is absolutely plumb ridiculous." "Is this really who I think it is?" "I love hearing that kind of stuff."

They highlight the impact of weather on antler growth and the importance of considering the current season's growth when deciding whether to target a buck. They also discuss the challenges and considerations of fall food plots, including the timing of planting and the impact of weather conditions. The conversation touches on the genetics of deer populations and the potential for genetic improvement on small properties. They also address the question of transplanting trees and provide tips for successful transplantation. In this part of the conversation, Don and Terry discuss the importance of timing when it comes to tree cutting and suburban hunting. They also address a question about fall food plot planning and the impact of pre-emergent herbicides. Lastly, they talk about a study on food plot size and buck visitation, and the implications for different regions. Keywords: antler growth, weather conditions, buck observation, fall food plots, genetics, small properties, tree transplantation, tree cutting, suburban hunting, fall food plot planning, pre-emergent herbicides, food plot size, buck visitation Takeaways: Weather conditions, such as a light winter and early greenery, can have a significant impact on antler growth in deer. Consider the current season's antler growth when deciding whether to target a buck, as the next season's growth may not be as favorable. When planning fall food plots, it is important to consider the timing of planting and the impact of weather conditions, such as rainfall. Genetic improvement of deer populations on small properties is challenging, but letting bucks with better genetics live and pass on their genes can have some impact. Transplanting trees is best done when they are dormant, but if transplantation is necessary during the growing season, it is important to get as much of the root system as possible and provide ample watering. Timing is crucial when it comes to tree cutting, and it's best to wait until the tree is dormant for better success. Patience is important in both hunting and projects like suburban hunting. Pre-emergent herbicides can limit the types of crops that can be planted in a food plot, but the recommended plant back periods are often longer than necessary. The location of a food plot is likely more critical than its size, and the volume of food supplied can be important in certain situations. The study on food plot size and buck visitation may have different implications depending on the region and the layout of the property.…

Keywords trail cameras, fall plots, planting, timing, reed canary grass, deer habitat, deer hunting, land management, reeds canary grass, mineral blocks, EHD, retail stores, hunting goals, life goals Takeaways Timing is crucial when planting fall plots, and it's important to backdate from the expected first frost. Planting fall plots too early can result in the plants becoming too mature and losing their palatability. Reed canary grass is a challenging grass to deal with in deer habitat, but burning it off and planting potted trees can help establish better vegetation. Spraying around the trees to keep the reed canary grass at bay is necessary for the trees to thrive. Observing the abundance of fawns on trail cameras can indicate a successful fawning season. Glyphosate and clethodim can be used to convert reeds canary grass sites into better quality deer cover. Mineral blocks like Trophy Rock may attract deer, but they do not provide the same nutritional benefits as products like Maximizer. Getting products into major retail stores like Amazon can be challenging due to the demand for high profit margins. The recovery of deer populations after an EHD outbreak can take several years, especially if hunting pressure remains high. Don's hunting goals include shooting a 180-inch buck on public land and two more bucks over 200 inches. Terry's life goals involve using his new business as a ministry and leaving a legacy for his children.…

The emotional journey of hunting and harvesting a buck can have a profound impact on a hunter's perspective and relationships. Gravity-fed feeders are preferred over automatic feeders for feeding deer, as they are more reliable and keep other animals away from the feed. Revolutionary advancements in gravity-fed feeders are on the horizon, which will improve feed capacity and reduce feed loss. Growing conditions for antler development vary across different regions. Playing the wind is crucial when hunting mature bucks. Valuing relationships with family members is more important than hunting success. Miscanthus can be used as a screen to block a neighbor's view.
