On this week's episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman, it's story time as Mitch recounts the events of opening week of rifle season at camp. Each season during rifle season, he along with family and friends join together for some old fashioned deer drives in the big woods of northern PA. The events throughout this week led to exactly what you read in the title, a hematoma on Mitch's leg, how he lost his cell phone during a drive, and the events leading to recovering a 130" mountain buck.   During the course of this three day hunt, Mitch's leg injury worsened from a fall he had opening weekend. But being the blockhead he is, continued to push on hunting! Organizing drives with a group can be somewhat challenging to effectively communicate with a group. However, this social event is a fun change in pace to the solo venture of buck hunting all season. Sometimes things do not always work out as you plan. Drives get messed up, shot opportunities get missed, and sometimes story endings don't follow the Hollywood script. However, the journey over this three day hunt turned out to be one for the memory books!

The holiday season, often filled with joy and togetherness, can also be a poignant reminder of loss for those missing loved ones due to death or illness. The empty seat at the table, the traditions once shared, and the memories of laughter and love can amplify the ache of their absence. Grief during the holidays feels heavier as the world around us celebrates, making it hard to reconcile joy with the void in our hearts. These moments can leave us longing for their presence and struggling to navigate the festivities without them. It’s a tender time, one that often brings tears as much as it does smiles from cherished memories. In these moments of sorrow, it's comforting to remember that God is present with us, even in our pain. His plan, though sometimes beyond our understanding, is filled with love and purpose. He promises to walk with us through the valleys, offering peace that surpasses understanding and hope for a future where there will be no more tears. Trusting in His bigger plan doesn’t erase the sadness but provides a foundation of faith to lean on. In our brokenness, God is near, offering His unchanging love and the assurance that we are never alone. Through prayer, reflection, and trust, we can find comfort in His presence, knowing He holds both our hearts and our loved ones in His hands. Learn more about your ad choices.

Snow can act as a thermal insulator for deer, aiding their survival. Deer can enter a state of semi-hibernation during extreme cold. Natural browse is crucial for maintaining deer health during winter. Food plots should focus on high-quality forage for late-season nutrition. Human activities can create additional stress for deer populations. Social stress among bucks can negatively affect their health and antler growth. Recent research reveals surprising insights into deer bedding behavior. Effective food plot sizes for deer are typically between 2 to 4 acres. Learn more about your ad choices.

The guys dive into Brian's season which started out in North Dakota, the trials and tribulations of targeting a big buck out there, the heartbreak he experienced learning a state that he knows he may not return to, how social media may be numbing us as hunters and taking the spark out of hunting, how he got his spark back after shooting a nice buck with his bow, a close-quarters opening day gun hunt, and how going with the flow of the woods led him to harvesting an awesome buck with his muzzleloader. The guys also talk about whether or not this deer season was weird like everyone has been saying, historical trail camera data, the impact of changing barometric pressure from hurricanes on deer, and the importance of learning with every hunt, and sharing knowledge with other hunters. All that and more in this week's episode!

On this episode of Michigan Wild, Nate and Drew Halser sit down and recap their season. Drew and Nate have both had similar experiences this fall. Both guys ended up punching their Kansas tags this year while still finding themselves holding onto their Michigan buck tags. Not only do they have their tags, but the target bucks they were chasing got shot by neighbors. Having a target buck harvested by a neighbor isn't a new thing, but it is always difficult to deal with. Nate and Drew both agree that trusting the process and sticking to their goals will pay off in the long run. The mere fact that they both have higher age class bucks to even chase is a win in their book and is a testament to all the hard work and dedication put forth each year.  Kansas was good to Nate and Drew this fall as they each filled their buck tags. Drew took a slightly different approach with scouting on this out of state hunt and it sure paid off. Drew had multiple encounters with shooter bucks and ultimately sealed the deal after a rollercoaster of a hunt. Nate and Drew both emphasized the importance of tackling a wide area/variety of properties as a team on this trip. By combining all the data learned through scouting and deer sightings it really helped both guys kill their Kansas bucks.  Rounding out the episode both guys are optimistic that they can get on a target buck these last few weeks of season. There are some great opportunities left and the plans are already in place to have a steller fall in 2025.  Thank you for listening to the episode!
