This VLOG starts with a conversation a lot of hunters are having right now. Fewer deer seem to be hitting the ground this season, why is that? From there, I head out on a late season deer hunt and immediately get reminded how alive the woods still are when a group of turkeys settles into a roost right above me.

Along the way, I talk about herd management and why a mature doe provides significantly more meat than a smaller one. We also slow things down to cover something every ethical hunter needs to think about. Being absolutely certain you are not shooting a button buck. The hunt ends with a successful doe harvest and a full freezer moment that never gets old. Then the episode shifts gears into something even bigger than the hunt itself. I take a kid named Lucas out deer hunting in deep snow, pushing through tough conditions and learning what perseverance actually looks like in the woods. Between frozen boots and quiet moments on stand, we talk honestly about Chronic Wasting Disease, baiting, and separating internet noise from real world wildlife management.

This one is about more than filling a tag. It’s about responsibility, mentorship, hard conversations, and passing down the right lessons to the next generation. An adventure in the snow with memories that will stick for a lifetime.
