But do you have the tools needed to get on and consistently take mature deer on ultra-pressured public lands? In this series, we'll look at what it takes and new approaches from top experts to help get you in the game. In this episode our guest is very successful public land hunter Jeff Kelly who has harvested big bucks consistently all over the country for the past 20 years. We hit some very important approaches, and ways to stop doing things to separate you from the crowd, including: the "going deep" fallacy, and what you really should be looking for, how you must e-scout differently now to avoid other hunters (and find the deer), access secrets to get you to where others just won't go, and much more! Also, be aware this was our very first episode recorded and there were some audio/video issues we had to work around (solved in subsequent episodes), so there are still some pops &amp; clicks in here that couldn't be removed.

Our new series is starting on private land whitetail deer hunting - when you're the boss, how you can manage your land for max success and NOT be part of the problem (which can be a huge problem many are not aware of)? Whether a land owner, hunt by permission, or you lease private land, this series is for you. 

Guest Dr. Clint McCoy is no stranger to hunting and killing big bucks in Mid/South Illinois, and he has an interesting background that gives him a unique perspective - he's a vet and well known outdoor writer to boot. In this episode we look at:

• The best ways to get private land permission, even though it is getting tougher by the day.
• Tricks to KEEP that permission over the long haul.
• An interesting story of how Adam got and still has prime hunting access out of state.
• Clint's take on the most overlook mistake hunters make scouting, and what hunters should really       
   be doing in the summer heat.
• How to utilize scrapes and what type of scrapes to locate (or make) for greater success on 
   mature bucks.
... and much more!

I interview Michigan DNR deer specialist Chad Stewart, and we get very candid about regulations, if they are working, and we discuss some potential fixes to perceived problems in Michigan. This was recorded several months ago, and since Michigan has started an initiative with the goal of improving regulations (also, I’ve slightly changed some of my stances since this recording, namely regarding youth seasons being doe only - read my full thoughts in this related article HERE ) This discussion is still very valid, and also might apply to other states in similar situations. Chad gives his take on a few of my proposed changes - one of which he says is terrible! If you’re not happy with deer hunting regulations, how the DNR is handling your deer herd, and feel helpless about what to do to fix things, I think this podcast is for you. And please excuse a bit of throat clearing and some hard cuts, as I had some allergies at the time and tried to edit some of this out.SHOW NOTES:Part 1:• Chad’s background as a hunter and professional DNR biologist• Chad’s take on stewardship and conservation - what’s the difference and&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;who is responsible for the health of the deer herd?• How regulations are made, and how they can be changed• Harvest data collection - the old surveys, their reliability, and why the&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;switch&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;to mandatory reporting was made• What recommendations of the DNR to the NRC are based on for new &nbsp; &nbsp;regulations• Is science or hunter opinion driving hunting regulation decisions?

   switch

• What are the barriers to new hunters we need to help remove to grow hunting.
• Avenues to get involved to be a solution to this, and get involved with others - something that in this

If you haven’t listened to all our series, I invite you to take the next few weeks to do so - we started with Barriers we need to overcome, got in the mind of mature bucks, had a deep dive into public land hunting, dissected private land strategies, dove deep into the science of deer, looked at what stewardship really is, then ended with some major controversies.&nbsp;But over the course of the year I asked many of our guests this one overarching question - what exactly does it take to be a great deer hunter, and this week we look at what they said.

We will delve into some very interesting topics,&nbsp; from tracking down bucks, to the debate and high iq strategy of trail camera use, to the fine points of broad head selection, and to what it’s like going tech-naked for a whole season.&nbsp; In this episode I’m back with famous writer Richard P. Smith talking about tracking bucks, and in particular wounded bucks - which we’ve all dealt with at some point and probably will in the future. Here are the top things to look for during this episode on tracking wounded bucks:• Why don’t many hunters track deer anymore as a hunting technique as historically was the norm - why has this art been lost?• What should you do after killing a deer, that is a huge learning opportunity that most miss out on completely.&nbsp;• What are key indicators of good vs. bad hits - and an important one that most hunters totally overlook?• What are the keys to tracking gutshot deer and determining the proper wait time, so you don’t make critical errors and ruin your chances of recovery?• When should you call in a tracking dog, and what is the dark side of doing this - that may make you really think before calling one in?• And how can other animals (not dogs) help you find a wounded deer when all else fails?MENTIONED IN THE SHOW:• Deer IQ ADVANCED WHITETAIL WORKSHOP SIGNUP HERE : https://deeriq.com/deeriq-whitetail-workshop/&nbsp;• Previous episode with Richard - https://youtu.be/nD4-me4Y_4A&nbsp;• Get Richard's Books: https://richardpsmith.com/&nbsp;More from DEER IQ: &nbsp;Website: https://deeriq.com &nbsp;Facebook Private Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/511109237864762 &nbsp;Deer IQ&nbsp; FREE Journal: https://deeriq.com/journal/ &nbsp;Pressured Public Lands Hunting Guide:&nbsp; https://deeriq.com/public-land-hunting-guide/ &nbsp;Newsletter Signup: https://deeriq.com/signup/ &nbsp;Patreon - Contribute Financially to Deer IQ: https://www.patreon.com/DeerIQPatreon&nbsp; &nbsp;Scent Control Regimen: https://deeriq.com/scentcontrol-regimen/&nbsp;• Get a Land Plan HERE: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfEBSw2DrrvyYBr_qzl3OxagG2PJLgL7DotkYxCYltPWr8sUg/viewform&nbsp;Year Theme: To consistently take the top deer where you huntSeries: The Art of HuntingEpisode # 90Guest: Host Adam Lewis, Richard P.

• What are the keys to tracking gutshot deer and determining the proper wait time, so you don’t make critical errors and ruin your chances of recovery?
• When should you call in a tracking dog, and what is the dark side of doing this - that may make you really think before calling one in?
• And how can other animals (not dogs) help you find a wounded deer when all else fails?

Whether a new to it, or someone who has been at it awhile, our discussions and guests will get you thinking about how to become more effective, and we’ll challenge you to put what you learn to action in very tangible ways. This episode I’m with the ginger ninja Jared Shaffer and we talk mobile mentality - what will make or break you in your approach. Here are the top things to look for during this episode:• What specific situations does Jared lean on mobile hunting and why?• How aggressive does he hunt, and why, and what does this depend on?• What are his keys to getting very close to bedded bucks on public land, and how close does he think you have to get to have a chance?• What one thing does he say is the real advantage of mobile hunting, and what are the pros and cons we discuss?• What are his keys to finding the exact right spot to setup when just a few yards could be the difference?
