Hi, I’m Adam Lewis and welcome to Deer IQ  - where smart hunting begins. I just wanted to take a quick minute to welcome you and tell you a little bit about our new podcast, website, and YouTube channel, and what you can expect from Deer IQ content. The goal of Deer IQ is simply to help us all become smarter, wiser, and greater deer hunters. As an experienced educator and deer hunter, this means everything from the podcast to the blog is set up differently than most hunting resources - and I believe that’s of great benefit to any serious hunter. First, we use a hunter-specific growth model to help you get the most out of all our content, and get the most beneficial content for you right where you’re at so you can put it into practice.  To do this, You’ll notice we have an IQ ranking system on all our content, where beginner is 1-IQ, Intermediate is 5-IQ, and 10-IQ is our advanced content. 

Our podcast is unique in the fact that we have a curriculum outlined for the entire year, that steps through our foundational goal and looking at what it takes - to be a truly greater deer hunter. You can see that on our website so you know what to expect, and what topics we’ll cover and in what order this year. Each podcast begins with some challenging questions to look for to help you dig deep and get the most out of the episode, are shorter - 30 minutes or so which makes it much more digestible for the listener, has carefully designed challenges and takeaways at the end to help you engage with productive actions,  and also goes with our free journal to go right that steps you easily and thoughtfully through the content. It truly is a different type of podcast, and I think you’ll get a lot out of it.

Our videos are similar. You’ll find our full podcasts are also on YouTube, along with clips from these if you want to get 3-5 minutes portions of these, our video blog with helpful tips and tactics, and short form content as well.  And yes, you can also read our blog if you like that kind of thing, with helpful deer hunting tips and tactics right on our website. And Yes, you can filter these by our IQ content system, as well as by topic,  like public land hunting, private land hunting, exciting hunting stories, and much more. 

And there's some helpful freebies too you’ll probably want to check out. First, is the Deer IQ test, which is a fun 10 question quiz that also may tell you where you’re at on the scale compared to our expert guests, as well as your friends. Also, we have a free Pressured Public Lands hunting guide, with 8 new approaches to find success in this new ultra-pressured terrain we find ourselves in. 

You’ll find all these and more at our website, DEER IQ.com, and I invite you to explore that and all the things available there that I couldn’t even mention - like our private group, and a lot more. And, be sure to sign up for our newsletter so you don’t miss any of our great new, and engaging new content as it comes out. 

So, are you a serious deer hunter? Are you ready for a new challenge? Then I’m excited to go on this journey with you - in search of what it takes to be a truly greater deer hunter.
