Happy 4th of July! It has been a while, but back with a great episode. Joined by the team from Vantage Point Archery to talk broadheads and the release of their patented new design for a single bevel broadhead, that will be a game changer. Not only do the produce the largest selection of fix blades on the market, they are making advancements in many other products we as archers depend on. I also give a quick update on my summer food plots. This was the first time trying a roller crimper and I breakdown my thoughts on the process. Summertime activates are in full swing with plenty of time to be on the water but deer season will be upon us before we know it.

Albert Tomechko with Vitalize seed joins the show again. Vitalize seed offers a one two punch for better nutrient cycling on your Ag field, garden, or in many cases food plots that will work with natural soil biology that will decrease to need for synthetic fertilizer, improve soil health, and improve plant quality and nutrition. As the names imply, Nitro Boost fixes nitrogen for the fall planting of Carbon Load that will in turn prime the soil with carbon maintaining the Carbon and Nitrogen ratio.  Al also touches on a new product that is available as a natural amendment to boost plant performance.

On this episode guest biologist Kristie Sitar discusses, Factors Limiting Deer Abundance in the Upper Peninsula, a report she co-authored. She breaks down the data used in looking at the factors that are contributing to a decline in buck harvest in the UP of Michigan. From degraded habitat, hard winters, and predation, each play a role in affecting the deer population.  We discuss each in detail in regards to the correlation these factors have with buck harvest. We close with the current state of the UP's deer population and what can be done to help a declining deer herd. Check out the report for yourself by following the link below.
