Kip Adams presented live at the Upper Genesee River Branch of NDA back in September. This was a very timely discussion to remind all of us the basics of deer behavior and biology. Often times we overthink the process and need to be reminded that deer have certain needs and their behavior will become much more obvious when you focus on that biology and their needs.

We had the chance to sit down with Chad Sylvester while we were at the River Bottom Arrow fest back in May and had a great chat with the head honcho over at Exodus Outdoors Gear. I have heard many discussions with Chad on other podcasts and found that he was just as genuine as he seems in these other chats. We didnt talk much about there product, rather what has gotten us both into more adventure style hunting and finding that adventure not just through shooting the big one but the experiences along the way with great people. https://exodusoutdoorgear.com/ I hope you enjoy the chat and encourage you to check out there products. I purchased a Cell cam and solar panel from them that day and have been very impressed with the performance so far.

Join the crew as we sit by the fire place at our PA Deer camp and recap the 3 days of hard hunting in the mountains of PA. We had an incredible hunt, killing 5 great bucks in 3 days with 18 hunters. Our success is always measured in the memories we create on this hunt, but this one is certainly special with the 5 quality bucks we put tags on and the opportunities everyone had. We cannot wait until next year and we hope that our tradition inspires you and your friends to start your own! Give it a try, you wont be disappointed! Good luck to those of you hitting the woods with the muzzleloader this week. #feedinum #mountainbucks #PAwilds #deercamp #bigwoodsbucks https://linktr.ee/pertnearoutdoors www.thehuntworks.com

He jumps on quick to share the story of the kill and we discuss how the season has gone so far and what we expect over the final month in the woods. We are headed to PA the end of the week for our annual deer camp which we are very excited about. Lastly we dive into some thoughts on current topics in our social news feeds about impliments of choice and desired changes to hunting regs here in NY. Spoiler alert, I think we are wasting our time and energy on the argumentative side of this discussion and we need to come together as hunters to support what we love and defend our rights/priviledges to do so. Enjoy the show! https://linktr.ee/pertnearoutdoors https://www.pertnearoutdoors.com/collections/all https://thehuntworks.com
