What if the week everyone books off for the rut is actually the hardest week to kill a buck?

Cody sits down with Steve Sherk Jr., John Prokop, and Greg Kazmierski to break down November 2-15 — the peak and lockdown window — and why the whole approach comes down to one thing: find the doe, then find the funnel she has to walk through.

If you bow hunt pressured whitetails on public ground with limited time, this is how to pick the right phase day by day, get aggressive without wrecking a spot, and put time in a tree where a buck has no choice but to show.

In this episode:

• Find the doe first — then hunt the travel funnel, saddle, or pinch between doe bedding

• All-day sits: why this window rewards riding it out, and how one dead day precedes a dozen deer

• When bumping does is fine — the rut's micro-shifts mean bucks follow them right back to you

• Why water matters — bucks need to cool down even when they're barely eating

• Seeking vs breeding phase: reading which one you're in, day by day

• Nov 5-12 lockdown — why a hot doe a half mile away pulls every buck in the area with her

• Fresh sign during lockdown: pockets of rubs, scrapes, and chasing sign that most hunters skip

• On a hot doe: sit her path 3-4 hours, don't burn the day, and don't leave her

• How a dominant buck hides a hot doe in tight, odd cover like a creek bottom

• Grunt sequences every 5-10 minutes when a buck is walking away

• Hunt the phase, not the calendar date

What if the scrape you walk past every November is the most reliable tell a big woods buck leaves behind?

Troy Pottenger joins Cody to break down scrape hunting and land management for big woods whitetails in Idaho — how he reads scrape behavior, habitat, and environmental factors to hunt mature bucks in country where you can't see 40 yards.

If you hunt pressured timber and big-woods country with limited time, this is how to let natural deer behavior tell you where to be, instead of hunting harder.

In this episode:

• Why big woods scrapes work differently than farm-country scrapes

• Reading scrape sign: how bucks use them across a season and what changes week to week

• Habitat and land management — what actually makes big woods ground hold mature deer

• Using environmental factors (weather, terrain, food) to time your sits

• Strategic hunting: setups and access in timber where deer have every advantage

• Lifelong lessons from Idaho — the misses, the challenges, and what finally clicked

• Leveraging natural deer behavior instead of fighting it

How do you hunt the pre-rut when bucks shift off early-season bedding?

Cody sits down with Steve Sherk Jr., John Prokop, and Greg Kazmierski to break down Oct 19-Nov 1 for deer hunting — access first, then acorns, then deer scrapes — and how to hunt morning vs evening through the shift into the whitetail rut .

If you bow hunt pressured whitetails on public ground with limited time, this is how to pick better access, hunt acorns without blowing bedding, and read scrapes by time of day.

In this episode:

• Access - how to get in clean for mornings vs evenings without bumping deer

• Acorns - how the crop shifts daylight movement and where to set up

• Scrapes - morning scrapes near buck bedding vs evening scrapes near does and food

• Look past the scrape: funnels and pinch points that kill more 64 big bucks

• Trail-cam history as context, not a guarantee

• When all-day sits are worth it in this window

• Prioritize rut phase over calendar dates

How do you kill an early-season buck when daylight movement falls off?

Mike Athey joins Cody to break down early-season whitetails in Maryland — how he scouts with historical data, reads bedding and staging on acorns, uses cold fronts, and why ditching trail cameras simplified his whole approach.

If you bow hunt pressured whitetails on public ground with limited time, this is how to pick better days, hunt closer to bedding without blowing deer out, and stop wasting October sits.
In this episode:

• Why Mike ditched trail cameras and what he trusts instead for scouting

• Scouting process in Maryland: historical data, sign, and reading busted-up rubs

• Bedding vs staging: where deer bed and where they stage on acorns before food

• Cold fronts and temperature drops that trigger daylight movement

• Hunting close to bedding without pushing deer out

• Maryland bear season, baiting regs, and how regulations shape the hunt

• Wish I hadn't seen that buck — managing expectations and lessons from misses

The October lull is real — but it's not a dead time. It's a window where deer behavior changes, and the hunters who understand what changes win. In this episode, we're joined by Steve Sherk Jr., John Prokop, and Greg Kazmierski to break down how to hunt the first two weeks of archery season on pressured public land.

We get into the specifics:

How deer herd up and concentrate around food sources early — and why timing + sign recognition matter more than blind effort

Using trail camera data to plan your hunts — confirming activity before you commit to a morning or evening sit

Reading habitat: clear cuts, green briar, and bedding areas — where to find them and what they tell you about deer security

Soft bumping done right — when and how to be aggressive in the field without blowing deer out

Mobile setups for the early season — and why confidence and practice matter more than the gear itself

Public vs. private land — the different rules of engagement, and how public land pressure changes deer movement

If you're a busy hunter trying to make the most of the Oct 5–15 window on land that gets hammered, this one's for you.

Are you hunting deer — or just chasing camera photos?

Southwestern PA hunter Shawn Nicholson from Seven Two Four Outdoors joins us to break down how he kills big woods bucks with minimal time to hunt. No living on cell cams. Just a quiet, efficient system for steep terrain, heavy pressure, and real life with kids at home.

In this episode:

• Why terrain beats cameras in the big woods
• The 30 to 40 yard scrape rule and what sign actually matters
• Why late October through early November is Shawn's most consistent window
• Preset stands vs. pushing in fresh on hot sign
• How pressure pushes bucks steeper — and how to hunt those overlooked benches
• His streamlined saddle-and-hang-on setup for speed and silence

Plus the mental side of being a busy dad who loves to hunt — staying realistic, making the most of limited days, and still getting it done in October.

Four years. One deer. And a hunting lesson that changes everything.

Mike Karazsia turns a frustrating 4-year whitetail chase into a masterclass on when to be patient — and when to get aggressive on a pressured mature buck. If you hunt pressured whitetails, public land, or with mobile setups, this one will hit home.

Growing up in western PA and guiding in Pike County, Illinois taught Mike how to read saddles, funnels, and wind the right way — and he brought those lessons home to a legendary buck in his own backyard. What starts as a conversation about family, schedule chaos, and hunting with kids turns into near-misses, all-day sits, and a twist: after writing the buck off as dead, the story takes one final turn.

YOU'LL HEAR:

→ Why Mike still trusts mobile hunting on almost every setup (even hunting 50/50 public & private)

→ What Illinois taught him about how mature bucks really use terrain and wind

→ How he used trail cameras to backtrack a buck to bedding WITHOUT overhunting it

→ Why most hunters are TOO cautious when it's finally time to pressure a buck

→ The exact sequence of mistakes and moves that built a 4-year cat-and-mouse

On this episode of Hunt The Season, we talk all about what new and even vet hunters need to hear from gear talk to deer talk we cover it all!

The crew breaks down what really matters when you’re learning to hunt, from the mindset that keeps you from quitting after a bad sit to the habits that turn confusion into confidence. Instead of overcomplicating things with social media hype, they focus on the basics that build successful hunters the hard way - by spending more time in the woods and letting the woods teach you back.

What if the deer call in your pack was built to outlast your truck, your season, and the plastic calls everyone else is still replacing?

Michael Birky, founder of Knowhere Outdoors, breaks down the story behind the IronBuck - the first metal grunt tube designed to solve the problems hunters have dealt with for years.

Birky shares how a devotional for hunters turned into a full product company, why he spent months testing more than 30 prototypes, and how he engineered a call that sounds nothing like the “tin can” skeptics expected.

The result is a premium, modular system built for serious hunters who are tired of broken reeds, frozen calls, and gear that feels disposable.

You'll discover:

• Why the IronBuck uses a heavier reed and metal soundboard to create volume without a harsh metallic tone
• How the long threaded design sets up future accessories like a snort wheeze, doe bleat, fawn distress, and saddle-hunting hook
• What makes the call different from standard plastic grunt tubes in the woods, in the cold, and under real hunting pressure
• Why Birky built the line to be customizable, expandable, and warrantied for the long haul
• 
  

I press on the real questions hunters care about most - noise, freezing, durability, and whether a metal call can actually outperform the plastic staples everyone knows.

If you care about gear that earns a place in your pack, this episode is for you.

Most hunters fall into the trap of overprogramming their strategies—focusing too much on cameras, feed plots, and complex tactics—while missing the simple, effective approaches that actually get big bucks and mature animals. Cody Halbleib and guest Garrett Lehman peel back the curtain on years of experience chasing whitetails and turkeys in PA and New York, revealing how small shifts in scouting, patience, and adaptability can lead to your best season yet.

In this episode, Garrett shares how he consistently finds success by trusting his instincts over camera data, hunting travel routes rather than bedding or feeding areas, and adjusting season dates based on real-world observations. You'll discover why tracking and shed hunting have become gamechangers in his approach; how to interpret sign such as rubs and tracks to identify mature bucks; and why early-season success often hinges on less complicated, more natural strategies. Plus, see how cross-state hunting and late-season tracking sharpen hunter skills and increase your odds of harvesting a big buck.

We also break down the myths about deer behavior—why mature deer often bed near trails and how understanding their natural patterns can elevate your chances—and discuss the critical impact social media has on hunting culture today. Garrett emphasizes that shooting what truly makes you happy, not what others dictate, is the real key to long-term satisfaction and conservation.

With years of experience and a passion for both turkey and big woods hunting, Garrett's insights are a must-listen for serious hunters who want to hunt smarter, adapt faster, and shoot better deer. Whether you're a weekend warrior or a seasoned pro, this episode will challenge your assumptions and inspire your next big adventure.

Post season scouting is one of the most effective ways to locate buck bedding areas and understand how mature whitetails use terrain on public land. In this episode of the Hunt The Season Podcast, we break down how to find buck bedding spots after the season, what sign to focus on, and how to turn those observations into success during the fall.

Joined by Greg Kazmierski, we dive into real-world scouting stories from Pennsylvania public land, including specific buck beds we’ve found, the terrain features that consistently hold deer, and how pressured whitetails adjust their bedding behavior. From big woods hillsides to overlooked pockets, this conversation is built around boots-on-the-ground experience and lessons learned in the field.

If you’re looking to improve your post season scouting, find more consistent buck bedding, and hunt smarter on public land, this episode will help you connect the dots heading into next season.

Deer season is over… so what now?For a lot of hunters, this is the time of year when gear gets thrown in the corner and trail cameras get forgotten. But the off-season is where next fall’s success really starts.In this video, I walk through how I hunt the off-season by going back through trail camera SD cards, cleaning and maintaining cameras, and organizing photos that are actually worth saving. Instead of drowning in thousands of pictures, I explain how I narrow it down to the images that matter and why that helps me make better decisions moving forward.I also break down my mobile hunting setup, including the final pieces I added and why I made a big change before the season ever started. I explain why I switched up my hang-on stand setup, what wasn’t working for me before, and how those changes impacted the way I hunt.This isn’t a “top 10 tips” video or a gear sales pitch. It’s an honest discussion about:What to do with trail camera data after the seasonWhy cleaning and maintaining trail cameras mattersHow to organize trail camera photos for future huntsHow and why I adjusted my mobile hunting setupLessons learned from making a major hang-on stand switchIf you’re a public land hunter, big woods hunter, or someone who enjoys learning through real experiences instead of hype, this video is meant to start a conversation.👇 Join the discussion in the comments:What do you focus on once the season ends — trail cameras, scouting, gear tweaks, or unplugging completely?

On this episode of Hunt The Season, I sat down to chat with Kyle Allen out of Ohio who is also a Big woods Pennsylvania hunter. We talk about how his season went with harvesting a beautiful Ohio buck on his own property in the early season and being able to have his son there to help with the recovery. To then being able to connect a public land Pennsylvania 10 point in the mountains!

We then dive into the really big topic we wanted to talk about, trail cameras, primarily cell cameras and how we have seen them all over the woods and how we feel like we are being watched with every step we take.

This is a very opinionated based episode about trail cameras, if you can not handle this type of conversation then I would recommend tunning in next week to another episode.

In this episode of the Hunt The Season Podcast, pressured-whitetail, Nick Queen breaks down advanced public-land tactics that put mature bucks on the ground—even in the heaviest hunting pressure. Recorded during Pennsylvania’s rifle season, Nick contrasts PA pressure with Illinois’ unique gun/tag system and explains how he adapts to crowded woods, shifting deer movement, and “educated” bucks that refuse to leave their core area.

Nick shares the full story of a giant ten-pointer he chased all season, including close calls, mistakes, thermal tricks on a heated lake, unconventional access routes, and the rmoment he learned the buck was finally killed on adjacent private land. From navigating public-land pressure to understanding bedding logic, parallel trails, faint sign, and “creative entry,” Nick gives real-world deer hunting advice—not generic top-five lists.

If you want deeper insight into public land bowhunting, rut tactics, high-pressure whitetails, big buck behavior, and how to outsmart mature deer when everyone else is in the woods, this episode is packed with strategy hunters can apply immediately.

In this episode, I sit down with Izaak Young from The Big Buck Theory to break down everything you need to know about tracking mature bucks, understanding big-woods deer behavior, and improving your rifle season success.Whether you’re still-hunting the endless ridges of northern PA, slipping through mountain laurel after fresh snow, or sitting sun-up to sundown waiting for that ghost-like giant to finally show—this episode is packed with real-world tactics you can use immediately.What We Cover:Big Woods Deer Tracking 101 — how to read tracks, trails, and subtle sign that most hunters walk right pastHow Mature Bucks Actually Move during rifle seasonHow to Hunt Pressure and use other hunters to your advantageSnow Tracking Strategies and how to follow a track without blowing the deer outStill-Hunting Tips that help you slow down and see deer before they see youWhy Big Woods Bucks Behave Differently than farmland deerThe gear, mindset, and strategy Izaak uses to consistently find big-woods bucksPerfect For:PA Rifle Hunters heading out for opening weekAnyone hunting big woods, mountain country, or low deer-density areasHunters wanting to learn how to track deer in snow or understand buck patternsFans of The Big Buck Theory or long-form deer hunting conversationsCheck out The Big Buck Theory: https://www.youtube.com/@UCpvP7HgL-ndorgwnrFqZ22A

Ryan Glitsky joins the Hunt The Season Podcast to break down how aggressive hunting tactics, in-season scouting, and camera intel helped him tag a buck during one of the slowest, most brutal rut seasons in Pennsylvania. With deer movement low and pressure rising fast heading into rifle season, Ryan explains how focusing on thick cover, food sources, and real-time sign led to success when most hunters were struggling. He also shares the mental grind of the slow rut, an ethical shot-recovery challenge, and practical strategies rifle and archery hunters can use to find bucks in tough conditions.

In this episode of the Hunt The Season Podcast, I sits down with Ohio whitetail hunter Hank Gibson for a deep, honest conversation about the changing landscape of deer hunting. The discussion opens with how modern hunting tactics have become saturated, the resourcefulness of Amish hunters, and why the long-standing tradition of “deer camp” is fading—largely due to social media pressure on young hunters to chase only big bucks.

Hank introduces himself and breaks down his passion for mobile hunting with Lone Wolf Custom Gear, sharing the real-world challenges of understanding thermals and adapting on the fly.

He walks through the multi-year pursuit of his 200-inch giant, Big Daddy, revealing a strategy built on patience, failure, and pushing beyond his comfort zone.

The conversation also tackles the controversy surrounding Lone Wolf within the hunting industry, how hunters can avoid relying too heavily on trail cameras, and why spending more time in the woods—and embracing mistakes—is still the best way to grow as a hunter.

Whether you’re a new bowhunter or a seasoned whitetail addict, this episode delivers practical insights, honest perspectives, and motivation to get mobile, think differently, and hunt harder.
