The last day of the 2022 deer season is the first day of the 2023 deer season. There is no time like to present to get prepared for the upcoming deer season. For me this means scouting and completing habitat work. There is no better time to create bedding areas on you hunting ground.  I fire up the chain saw and start cutting timber to create opens in the canopy and put cover on the ground. I break down my hunting area and how and where i decided to add additional bedding cover. This episode I bring back the Conservation News desk to discuss a bill banning "Assault weapons" and what it could mean for Michigan hunters. On a more fun note, Trekin Outdoors is hosting their first hunting banquet, details below in link.

Another South Dakota hunting trip is in the books. This year was my first mule deer hunt. Joining me for this episode is Duane Croel for the second time. Duane is the reason for my interest in hunting South Dakota and hope that we have many more trips in the years to come. For this year I was the solo hunter. Hunting mule deer for the first time in an area I have never hunted before pushed the limits of my skill as a deer hunter. We discuss the the challenges we faced and the lessons we learned. Ultimately if came down to having to call a local friend to take us into a new area that we did not have the confidence going to ourselves and finally harvested my first mule deer buck.

My dad joins me on this episode to do a wrap up of November and the Rut. We break down what our mindset going into the rut was and how we planned on hunting this November. The farm we hunt is set as a rut property were that  the bulk of the bucks do not show up until they are in full on rut mode. We discuss what we learned from this November and what we plan to do habitat wise to improve the property and hunting in the future. The rifle opener was good to me as I harvested my first buck of the season. We cover opening day and how the buck almost got away.
