Episode Details

Welcome to the podcast, first off I want to wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving and safe travels to everyone traveling for the holiday. Also, I wanna do a giveaway I have a bunch of new hoodies and hats in, so I mind as well give them away, right? I haven’t done an iTunes giveaway in a while so this one goes out to “GoWestMan” Thank you so much for the kind words and all the encouragement and if you are new to the show and haven’t rated the show yet I would love to have you just leave a quick rating. I’ll do another giveaway next week too. For those who have interest in the white-black trucker hats are back in stock better grab one here. I tell you what I’ll even knock them down for Black Friday/ Cyber Monday to $16 for the hats, and $20 for the new hoodies, while they last!

 Today I am joined by my good buddy Tony Trietch who is no stranger to the podcast but that because he is not only an amazing storyteller but he definitely lives life to the fullest to have great stories to tell. Tony was on a while back and shared his amazing moose hunt in Idaho which was such a great story with lots of lessons learned. If you have not yet I recommend tuning into that episode as well (EP 178). Today though I wanted to have Tony on the talk about tactics for hunting the plains states for big mule deer and whitetail. Tony has spent a fair amount of time chasing big bucks in this rolling virtually flat ground and has had some tremendous success in the last few years. This year he was fortunate enough to draw an either species tag which meant he could finally chase a big mule deer. Outside of an awesome hunt and a great story we also dive into decoy tactics for both mule deer as well as whitetail and why you should be really careful when decoying ultra aggress whitetails! Hope you guys enjoy the episode and if you haven’t yet I would love it if you left us a quick rating on iTunes or where ever you listen. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
