Welcome to the very first episode of Whitetail Rendezvous, a podcast made especially for the Whitetail community. I’m your host Bruce Hutcheon. Each episode will run for about 25 minutes, five days per week, featuring some of the most knowledgeable and dedicated whitetail individuals in the country. Listen as they share their remarkable stories that throb wildly with a passion for whitetails, and reveal their own secrets to a bountiful, successful hunt.

Let’s spend a minute or two sharing why Whitetail Rendezvous was created. I retired about four years ago and began spending more and more days hunting whitetails. Quickly I realized that while there were some good whitetail focused podcasts out there I just was not getting the info I wanted. And so it began: I learn about producing value-based content consistently for those passionate about Whitetails. I knew that if I gathered focused information, useful strategies, new techniques and ideas on how it’s done right, then so would thousands of others.

The work really began when my good friend, Bob Roark said he was interested in the project and wanted to help bring it to life. Phew, was I glad about that for hundreds of reasons. He helped me develop the foundation of Whitetail Rendezvous. From an idea the project morphed into a passion to a build whitetail community that shares “great stuff” with guys & gals just like you!

The Rut – a unanimous term that sparks excitement, anxiety, and giddiness amongst the deer hunting community.

Quite plainly, as hunters, it’s what we live for. Hunting magazines dedicate entire issues to it, the Outdoor Channel runs nonstop footage of it, and social media is swarmed with it. It’s the time when we feel good about every hunt and every hour we are on stand. The Rut is a deer hunter’s cocaine, when we’re not hunting it, we’re consuming it, discussing it, daydreaming of it, and waiting for it.

The tradition of hunting started a very long time ago in New England, where the legendary LL Bean came from. It was an outdoors community of hunters and gatherers. Now, Leon Leonwood Bean or “LL” has passed on the hunting gene to his progeny, Bill Gorman. It’s in his DNA, and Bill proudly remembers LL Bean as someone who truly enjoyed the outdoors. In fact, their company is 103 years old thanks to his passions. Bill Gorman emphasizes the visual, the scents that go along with hunting in the early season: leaves are falling and starting to decompose, and you just get that smell… and it just feels right. Bill’s whole life has been about being outdoors and a humane hunter, understanding that we harvest animals. We kill animals. We do that for sustaining ourselves, our lives. It’s the original organic.

But it was a pretty humbling thing because a lot of it occurred on camera, and with the format of our online show, we pretty much are, I would say, uncensored because we’re family-friendly, I’ll put it that way. But we don’t do a lot to sugar-coat stuff. If something bad happens, we go through it and explain, well, this is what happened and here’s why and here’s what we’re going to do to fix it. Well, it just seemed like deer after deer, maybe like three different really good bucks over the course of the couple of seasons dropped at the sound of the shot and I didn’t kill them.
