| 2026 Whitetail Forecast: Best Times & Tactics for the Entire Season | 18 sept. 2026 | 01:25:29 | |
When should you wait for the right conditions—and when should you get more aggressive? This 2026 whitetail forecast follows the season from September's shifting buck patterns through the November rut and into late-season food sources. On episode 183 of the Bowhunter Podcast, Christian Berg welcomes Emily Konkler and Darron McDougal, with Danny Farris joining later, for a practical discussion of when, where and how they hunt mature whitetails. The panel starts with disappearing early-season bucks: what changes when velvet comes off, food sources shift and hunting pressure increases? They explain how trail-camera information, property knowledge and carefully chosen conditions influence when they hunt—and when they stay out. October brings acorns, cold fronts and opportunities around Halloween. Emily shares how she learned a new property and adjusted her approach to take her split-G2 buck. Darron and Danny discuss hunting from the ground, calling and using decoys in open terrain. For the prime rut, the conversation turns to all-day sits, midday movement, bedding-area funnels and more aggressive approaches. Danny explains his buck-and-doe decoy setups before the panel moves into December's secondary rut and January's food-driven patterns. The episode uses the Fish and Game Forecaster as a starting point, alongside the panel's personal experience. Their date selections are predictions, not guarantees; local conditions, deer behavior and hunting pressure remain central to the discussion.

Bowhunting season is almost here, and mobility could be the key to getting within range of your next buck.

| Shoot Better by Shooting Farther: Spot Hogg's PRIZ System | 19 mai 2026 | 01:00:27 | |
On this episode of the Bowhunter Podcast, we sit down with Bryce Pick from Spot Hogg Archery and longtime bowhunter and writer Jace Bauserman to break down one of the most interesting new bowsight innovations in recent years: the Spot Hogg PRIZ system. The PRIZ is a non-magnifying prism designed to work with Spot Hogg's new ROTI sight housing, helping archers gain additional sight clearance and extend their practice range without changing their hunting setup. Bryce explains how the system bends light to shift the sight picture, allowing shooters to move their sight housing higher while still aiming at the same point. Jace shares his real-world experience using the PRIZ in the field and on the range, including how it has helped him practice at extreme distances with his actual hunting bow, arrows and sight setup. The conversation also covers legality, ethical bowhunting, long-distance practice, TAC-style shoots, setup tips and why shooting farther can make normal hunting distances feel more controlled and confident. This is not about encouraging long-range shots on animals. It is about becoming a better archer through better practice, better sight clearance and more precise aiming at extended distances. | |||

From tournament pressure to buck fever, Paige explains why success with a bow often comes down to more than physical practice — it comes down to training your mind. The conversation covers visualization, subconscious programming, shot routines, confidence, equipment setup, and how bowhunters can better prepare for the moment of truth. Paige also discusses her Insight Mental Programming system, how it works, and why mental preparation can help hunters make better shots when adrenaline is high.
