Wolverine Whitetail

Bob and Matt discuss their 2021 deer hunting seasons. Matt doubles up on does in early season. Bob's dad gets his first ever archery buck. We talk about our successes, failures and learning experiences from this season. A couple big buck encounters and overzealous use of the grunt tube. Thanks for listening and hit us up on Instagram @WolverineWhitetail. This is #WolverineWhitetail presented by Crooked Bend Wildlife Food Plot Seed.

Bob, Matt & Nate discuss preseason, where they're at in preparation for the fast-approaching 01OCT archery opener, and answer some questions from the guys at @Deers_N_Beers with another special guest, our friend Dane from Hardside Hydration. We hope you guys enjoy this format with some new voices and hunter perspectives. Hit us up on Instagram @WolverineWhitetail with questions for future episodes!

Bob's first turkey hunt couldn't have drawn up any better. Birds hammering before sun up, roosted within 100 yards, pitching down over top of us and ending with a bang!

Live from Bob's house the boys are fired up on the eve of Michigan Spring Turkey opener. Bob and Matt discuss some of the basics of turkey hunting in Michigan. Scouting for turkeys, our plans for opening day and some plans for the future. Will the boys have a bird down and hit the links by noon? Only time will tell. (Apologies if some of the audio sounds weird - the perks of doing it live!!) This is #WolverineWhitetail presented by Crooked Bend Wildlife Food Plot Seed.

A long overdue chat discussing “wind bumps”, how and why they work, why hunting with a muzzleloader is “boss”, and an early December success story to boot! This is #WolverineWhitetail presented by Crooked Bend Wildlife Food Plot Seed.

Bob details all of the events that occurred on Nov 7, 2020 which ultimately led to him harvesting his first ever deer with a bow. We take you through the planning, execution and recovery on that fateful day which is sure to be one that Bob will never forget. We think ya'll are going to enjoy this one! This is #WolverineWhitetail presented by Crooked Bend Wildlife Food Plot Seed.

Bob gives Matt the floor to discuss his October doe-cation, which gets interrupted by a couple lingering spiders. We discuss the use of blood hounds, enjoying the moment, and staying calm/present after “the shot”. Enjoy! Hunt Smart. Hunt Hard. This is #WolverineWhitetail.

We share our season updates: mistakes made (plenty), hunting pressure, plans moving forward, and more. Apologies for audio issues in the middle of the episode where it sounds as if we started responding before someone was finished speaking. Enjoy!

Part II of Back to the Basics provides insight on more questions from “new” or “beginner” whitetail deer hunters. This is not your typical “how to hunt mature bucks” podcast (because we stink at it so what would be the point?). We cover hunting the wind, our opinions and experiences with scent control and calls, ground hunting vs. stand hunting, whether or not to pee in a bottle, and more! Hunt Smart. Hunt Hard. This is #WolverineWhitetail. Presented by Crooked Bend.

During this series of episodes, we asked a handful of new whitetail hunters that we know to come up with some questions for us to answer. In Part I, Bob and Matt answer questions related to hunting locations and times, while also discussing some of their own hunting philosophies. We'll cover the basics of identifying private vs public land, using some of the new hunting apps, and how to spot fresh deer sign. We talk about some of the most common mistakes new hunters make and share some of our favorite days of the year to hunt whitetail deer. It's always a good time getting back to the basics! We hope you enjoy this episode and stay tuned for Part II! Hunt Smart. Hunt Hard. This is #WolverineWhitetail Presented by Crooked Bend.

Bob and Matt discuss summer practice strategies for the 2020 preseason. We describe our current hunting setups and new gear we're excited to try this year. We discuss our personal goals, strategies and expectations for the 2020 Michigan deer season. Summer scouting updates: the boys may have found a "honey hole"! We end this episode by detailing our Opening Day and early season plans for this fall. This is #WolverineWhitetail.

Bob and Matt give a quick intro on who they are and how Wolverine Whitetail came to life. We talk about how we originally got into deer hunting and what hunting means to us. We discuss the locations that we hunt and some of the differences in the Public and Private land. Briefly discuss the new 2020 Michigan deer hunting regs and what they mean for us. Recap of our 2019 deer hunting season and a look forward to 2020. Stay tuned for episode 2 where we'll really do a deep dive into the 2020 hunting season! This is #WolverineWhitetail.
