Fall Obsession Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

Dr. Grant Woods from GrowingDeer.TV joins us this week on Fall Obsession Podcast to talk everything whitetails! Dr. Woods is a well-known and respected wildlife biologist and deer manager whose research, tactics and strategies have been proven to create deer hunting paradises for decades. Sam and Ryan cover a lot of ground with Dr. Woods in this episode, talking habitat management, food plot biology, whitetail behavior, moon phases, the rut, and so much more! There is a lot to learn when it comes to managing and growing big whitetails; and certainly so much more than we ourselves think we know. That's why time with an expert like Dr. Woods is so incredibly valuable. We certainly pick his brain and ask him all of the questions on our minds (and maybe yours too) as he boils it down to the science of whitetail hunting!

We've all been there, tracking an animal over long distances with a gut-wrenching feeling that you may never find it. That is the situation Fall Obsession VP Drew Tvrdik was in last year; which opened the door for him to meet this week's guest, Naz Gren. Naz is a part of the Minnesota Tracking Dogs group, and has helped countless hunters recover their otherwise lost or unknown animals. Naz and Drew share a great conversation not just about Drew's experience, but also the intricacies of working with a high-demand tracking dog. Naz talks about the training process, what these dogs are capable of, what kind of time frames hunters should expect and prepare for following a questionable shot on an animal, and steps you can take to give yourself and your tracking dog the best chance possible to recover your animal. Naz of course shares some of his favorite memories and tracks with us, as we learn about a completely different overlooked passion folks like Naz have for being hunters and living an outdoor lifestyle!

His dream has always been to hunt in Texas. Hogs, deer, turkey... it didn't matter just as long as it was Texas. For Fall Obsession Staff Coordinator Todd Sellon, that dream came true! Todd flew down to Texas; originally to record podcasts with Sam and produce some content in-person, but Sam couldn't let him come to Texas without including a hunting trip. Todd and Sam discuss and share the story of how this opportunity came to be, and what it was like hunting hogs in 100+ degree temps. Todd describes in detail the two days of his hunt; ending with both guys drawing blood on Texas Dirt! Todd also talks about a new video series he and his Mid-Western Fall Obsession crew inspired us to pursue, with the first episode coming soon to our pages! This is a great conversation with a passionate outdoorsman who finally got to check one off the bucket list!
