Show Notes:  https://wetflyswing.com/645  Presented By: Togiak River Lodge, Waters West, Skwala, TroutRoutes Sponsors: https://wetflyswing.com/sponsors    In today's episode, we're diving deep into the world of spey fishing and bow hunting with George Cook, the man who brought spey fishing and spey rods to the United States. Renowned for his expertise, George travels the globe, collaborating with some of the biggest brands in the fishing industry. Having graced our podcast three times, he has shared invaluable insights on spey fishing, Chinook fishing, stillwaters, and more. George will update us on the current state of spey fishing, discuss the latest trends in Chinook fishing, and share his optimism about the future of steelhead fishing. But that's not all—his passion extends beyond the water to the fields, where he is also an accomplished hunter. He'll be offering tips and tricks for archery and hunting this season, including how to successfully stock a buck and the three most important factors in casting a spey rod. Episode Chapters with George Cook on Bow Hunting 2:20 - George gives us an update since we had him on the podcast. He had a bow season in North America last fall and killed his all-time biggest meal in the winter. 6:20 - We talk about updates on Sage rods, particularly focusing on the latest models which were released last winter. George explains that the new series includes a variety of models ranging from five to ten weights in spey and seven to eight weights in switch rods, which he refers to as "baby spey." 12:52 - George advises on how to improve your spey game. He suggests that it depends on the person's location, particularly highlighting that there are many skilled instructors on the West Coast. He names notable instructors like Travis Johnson in Oregon, John Hazlett in Medford, and Charles St. Pierre in Tacoma, as well as De Hogan who offers traveling seminars. George emphasizes the importance of getting professional instruction, comparing it to other precision activities like golf and archery. 16:00 - We shift the conversation from spey fishing to hunting. George recounts his extensive experience in both fields. He started fly fishing at age 11 but only began hunting in college at Washington State University, which he describes as a prime location for pheasant hunting. His deer hunting career began slowly, with his first successful hunt occurring in his senior year. 19:28 - George describes a typical summer fishing, using the Deschutes River as an example. He explains that fishing usually starts early in the morning, from dawn until about 10:30 to 11:30 AM, when temperatures are cooler. During this time, anglers can use floating lines or intermediate leaders with traditional flies like the green butt skunk or streetwalker. 26:32 - He shares his transition from rifle hunting for 30 years to bow hunting in 2014. He explains that rifle hunting had become less challenging and more about the pursuit of larger game. Bow hunting, on the other hand, provided a fresh start and presented new challenges, such as needing to get much closer to the prey, which requires significant skill and patience. 32:37 - George highlights the accessibility and convenience of bow hunting, contrasting it with rifle hunting, which often requires more time and logistical planning. He appreciates the simplicity of stepping outside his home and being able to practice archery almost immediately. He also provides an overview of the different types of bows available for those new to the sport, such as traditional longbows, recurves, compound, and self bows. He mentions that most bow hunters in the U.S. use compound bows and endorses Bowtech, a company known for its high-quality bows. 36:50 - We delve into introducing children to hunting, particularly focusing on the appropriate type of bow for young kids. George explains that there are entry-level bows designed for very young children, similar to toy bows with rubber stopper arrows. He then mentions more advanced options from Bowtech, which has a wide range of adjustable pull weights from 30 to 60 pounds, making it suitable as kids grow and gain strength. 43:00 - George recounts successful hunts in various states, including Oregon, Montana, South Dakota, and Mexico. He emphasizes the versatility required for hunting different types of deer, such as whitetails and Coues deer, using methods like tree stands and ground blinds. 44:06 - He highlights the numerous hunting opportunities available throughout the year, with early and late seasons in states like Oregon, Colorado, Nevada, Utah, Oklahoma, Texas, and Alabama. 48:18 - We talk about the intricacies of archery elk hunting. George explains that September is the prime time for hunting elk because it coincides with the rutting season when elk are very vocal and can be located by their calls. This period offers archers a better opportunity to get close and take a quality shot. Although challenging, bow hunting for elk and deer provides unique experiences and opportunities that are less available during rifle hunting seasons. He also gives some key tips for successful elk hunting. 1:01:57 - He describes how bow hunters practice for longer shots with antelope but aim to get as close as possible to deer. This involves meticulous planning and movement, often requiring stealth and environmental factors like wind and noise to avoid spooking the animal. He emphasizes the importance of knowing the deer's location and anticipating its movements, including understanding the deer's bedding habits and adjusting strategies accordingly. 1:06:26 - I ask George about his gear preferences. He emphasizes the importance of tools like OnX for identifying different types of land and the necessity of investing in quality optics such as binoculars and rangefinders, which he considers as critical as the hunting bow itself. He mentions some brands like Vortex and Leupold. 1:10:27 - Between hunting for mule deer and white-tailed deer, he prefers the former but mentions that he hunts more white-tailed deer due to availability. George then shares an impressive achievement: he is the only person to have hunted mule deer in all 17 states where they are native, completing the feat in 2019 in Oklahoma. 1:13:49 - We talk about his cats. One is a 22-pound main coon named Buddy Kitty and another small female named Wittle. Show Notes:  https://wetflyswing.com/645

Mr. Consistent Creed Christinat Show Notes:   Creed Christinat is usually a do-or-die Coues deer guy, but he recently shot a giant mule deer. Here, he shares the story about how he got this buck. Creed tried to walk away, but he was just way too impressive to pass up. He had a history with the animal, and Creed goes through the whole journey from when he got the tag to when he took him down.    Even though he says he fails a lot more than he wins, Creed is totally "Mr. Consistent” and puts in a ton of work. Creed says the trophy is in the eye of the beholder, and we talk about how much respect we have for people who ultimately get the job done within the timeframes they have, which sometimes isn't a lot.    Creed hasn't scored his muley buck quite yet, and he says he'd rather enjoy him for a bit before he does so. We talk about why we wait sometimes and how, in some cases, we'd rather not know. Creed also shares a great story about an encounter with a coyote on another antelope buck hunt. After a few days of tracking the buck, he sees it flying out of the trees with a coyote on his tail and chases him right out into a meadow! After running in his direction, they turn, and Creed talks about the decision he had to make.   What's Inside:   How Creed took down an impressive mule deer Why we don't always score our deer right away Creed's encounter with an antelope and a coyote   Mentioned in this episode Days In The Wild Podcast Phoenix Shooting Bags save 20% with code johnstallone Howl for Wildlife: https://www.howlforwildlife.org/ Creed Christinat on Instagram   Short Description: Creed Christinat is usually a do-or-die Coues deer guy, but he recently shot a giant mule deer.

Crazy Coues Deer Story with Dave Maher Show Notes:   I just had a crazy experience with a recent client on a Coues deer hunt, and Dave Maher's here to help me unpack it all. Dave's been on the show before, and he's my go-to guy when it comes to gun stuff. My client was physically challenged, and I hunted with him for three days. I found several opportunities, but unfortunately, we couldn't get to any fast enough.    I also had Ryan with me, and he later found a good buck. Even though my client could shoot and he had a good setup, we were too far away. I decided to try to get as close as I could, but the best I could do was 700 yards. All of a sudden, the buck comes out of a tree, and my client hits the buck's shoulder. He took a second shot, and the buck shot straight up into the air and dove forward into some trees, but he was still alive!   We moved in a little closer to wait for the buck to do something, and he eventually stood up. My client shot again, but missed. At this point, we don't have another shot, but the deer got up again. Ryan got his eyes on him, and the buck walked into some trees. From here, we go on a crazy chase to find this deer and he eventually goes down for good. Here, Dave gives his analysis of the hunt and his take on why this buck was so hard to take down.  What's Inside:   A crazy story from a recent Coues deer hunt. Dave's analysis on the hunt. Gun and bullet tips for deer hunting.   Mentioned in this episode Days In The Wild Podcast Phoenix Shooting Bags save 20% with code johnstallone Howl for Wildlife: https://www.howlforwildlife.org/ Short Description: I just had a crazy experience with a recent client on a Coues deer hunt, and Dave Maher's here to help me unpack it all.

Title:  Coues Deer with Fred Bohm Show Notes:   Fred Bohm's from the Tucson area, and he joins me here to talk about coues deer. He's originally from New Jersey but headed west to Colorado after college. He's been an Arizona resident for about a year and a half but has been hunting in the state for over 10 years. Fred's father taught him how to hunt when he was younger, and he became obsessed with bow hunting early in the game. He got into coues deer hunting after snagging an OTC tag.   Fred's known for his photography of his hunting escapades and has had a passion for it since he was a teen. He loves to inspire others, and I've always been a fan of his photos. Coues deer hunting season is coming up soon, and here, I pick Fred's brain on his favorite hunting tips and tricks. We kick things off by talking about the difference in behavior in coues deer compared to eastern deer. Fred shares the characteristics you can use to your advantage to score.   Fred's hunted a lot of different habitats throughout Arizona, and he shares his favorite spots. He shares his top rules for stalking coues deer and how to approach it. Fred and I also discuss his three most critical factors to contribute to hunting success, how to find the right areas, recommendations for equipment, and more.

Scoring Coues Deer with Jay Scott   Show Notes: Even though I know how to score deer, I don't feel confident telling people how to score Coues deer. So I brought Jay Scott on for an expert's opinion on how to score them on the hoof.   For the novice or intermediate hunter, Jay recommends that you get as many antlers or horns in your hands as possible with a measuring tape. A lot of scoring just comes down to experience, so you'll need to look over a lot of deer before you can get a better understanding of what a deer is on sight.   Measuring mistakes can add up quickly. If you're a half-inch off on everything, then that'll distort your final number. For hunters who are used to hunting in the East or the Midwest, scoring the Coues deer will be a different experience. When you break down deer, there are 4 main parts of the scorecard.   Point length Main beam Mass Spread   For most people, they talk about spread like it's the most important factor in scoring, but for Coues deer, it is not. You want to be looking for a minimum length of 15-inches on the points and then everything else builds around that.   You can follow Jay on Instagram for some practice seeing pictures and comparing your guess to his. If you'd like one of his charts that will simplify the scoring process, you can email Jay at: JayScottOutdoors@gmail.com.     What's Inside: The difference between Midwestern and Western point language, and why that matters. For a buck to be a hundred, your point length category needs to be in the 15-inch range. When beams wrap around the front, the size is going to naturally increase. How white antlers are going to distort your perception of size.     Mentioned in this Episode: Days in the Wild on iTunes Days in the Wild on Podbean Phoenix Shooting Bags Save 20% with code: johnstallone Days in the Wild Bushnell.com Save 15% on everything at Bushnell with code: STL02 Primos.com Jay Scott Outdoors podcast Jay Scott Outdoors on Instagram   Short Description: How accurately can you score antlers from a picture? If you're an expert like Jay Scott, you'll be able to get within an inch or two of the score. For the rest of us, Jay's going to walk us through the four main parts of a score, plus some factors that trick hunters into overestimating size.     Tags: Coues deer, scoring coues deer, measuring deer antlers, coues deer score card, how big are my deer antlers?, how to measure deer antlers

Jumping The String With Randy Ulmer Throwback   Show Notes:   Randy Ulmer joins me today to talk about the dreaded “jumping the string.” What does it mean if a deer jumps the string? Something triggers the deer to jump when an arrow is shot; and moves before the arrow can get to it. Today we discover a few theories about just what causes deer to jump the string.   When an arrow is shot, deer can collapse their front legs and drop their chests in preparation to spring, and the arrow ends up missing them. This is a lot easier if their heads are down to start with. An alert deer is much more likely to jump than a non-alert deer, and older age class bucks are much more likely to jump than younger bucks. Older bucks have been pursued more, by other hunters and predators, so they are more sensitive. Young bucks jump as well, just not as often. Interestingly, when targeting a deer in a group, the other, non-targeted deer aren't as likely to jump as the targeted one.    What causes a buck to jump? There are a couple theories. Some people think it's the sound of the bow shooting the arrow, and another camp of people think it's the sound of the actual arrow. Distance might also play a role. The closer you are to the deer, the more likely they are to detect you. The closer the deer, the louder the bow and arrow are, and the more likely the target deer is to jump.  The kind of arrows you use makes a big difference as well. Thinner, slower, stiffer arrows make less noise, so deer are less likely to jump.    While frustrating, there are things you can do to cut back on the number of bucks that jump the string. Randy likes to use the same bow for every animal because he has a great feel for it. Put shock absorbing devices on the bow to mute the sound. Use a very small diameter arrow.  You can't avoid the problem completely but you can implement some of these to avoid losing that prize buck.    What's Inside: What is the distance sweet spot when it comes to bow hunting? Which deer are mostly likely to jump? The importance of researching deer in the area you want to hunt.    Mentioned In This Episode: Phoenix Shooting Bags Save 20% with code: johnstallone Days in the Wild Primos.com Save 15% on everything at Primos with code: STL02   Short Description: There is nothing more frustrating than finding a prize buck, loading your bow, taking a shot, and then seeing the deer “jump the string.” Many, many bucks have been lost this way.

Title:   Ryan Lampers Show Notes:   I had the chance to catch up with Ryan Lampers at Hunt Expo. I love the expo since it fits in perfectly with my Javelina season plans. Ryan and I start our conversation by talking about Coues deer and I recap my Megatron buck story from back in December. We get into chasing Javelina and Coues and trying to see them in the grass and Ryan talks about his trip south of the border. The last time I was in Mexico, I cut my hand trying to cross a fence and it was a pretty tough hunt. I did get a buck and also saw a jaguar!   Ryan's hunted in Arizona for a number of years, but he's fairly new to Mexico. He doesn't do a ton of border hopping since it can be pretty intimidating, especially when you're carrying rifles. This past January, Ryan went down to a ranch, and he says he saw way more Coues deer in Arizona. They felt lucky to turn up a couple of bucks a day and there were very few does. He was high in the mountains, and it wasn't as open. Even though it was tough at times, Ryan and his crew had a great time and they did wind up with some good ones.    Ryan and I talk about rifle hunting and chasing mule deer and the challenges that come up. Sometimes the challenge is more with dealing with the weather and elements and locating deer than the actual shot itself. To put more of a challenge on the hunt in Mexico, Ryan put limitations on which kind of deer he was after. We chat about the tag system and different units and how desperation can result in wounded deer.  We also talk about getting “the moment of truth” right, getting the perfect range right before taking a shot, and Ryan's current bow setup.

I'm done for January and I'm here with Creed to chat about deer hunting. The time between the holidays and hunting goes by so fast. I didn't get anything in December, but I made up for it in January with a big buck I call Megatron. He looked exactly like the offspring of a buck I chased around in 2017 and was in the same area. I stalked him twice last year but wound up getting Covid and my whole plan was shot. All this past December, I kept looking for him but every time I went to glass, some other guys would beat me to it. I wound up shooting him in the neck because he was quartering to me.    Creed got an amazing Coues buck this January and it was a buck he had some history with. He found the buck last year and was living in a place where there were very few deer. He almost killed him last year and got to about 90 yards, but he miscalculated the distance between him and the ravine he was bedded in. This buck was the easiest for Creed to see and lived close to his house. Things took way longer than anticipated because he had to go slow to avoid making too much noise. He started stalking at 11:30 and got him at 2:00.   We also talk about the buck Creed got last year. He shot a Coues deer in January with a bow and before that he got another one with a rifle in November. The buck he shot last January was similar in size to the one he recently shot, and he got to hunt with his brother and cousin. Creed's brother shot his first archery Coues deer on that trip and later that day they went in to look for another deer his brother had seen. Fortunately, he was right where he was supposed to be, and a doe led him in. Creed and I also talk about frontal shots and share our opinions. What's Inside: How I finally got a buck I was tracking, Megatron. How Creed got his recent Coues buck. Stories from Creed's hunting trip from last January. Thoughts on frontal shots.   Mentioned in this episode Phoenix Shooting Bags save 20% with code johnstallone Howl for Wildlife: https://www.howlforwildlife.org/ GoHunt: https://www.gohunt.com/   Short Description: Creed is back on the show and we're recapping our deer hunts from January.

AZ OTC Deer Recap with Charles Whitwam Show Notes:   Charles Whitwam and I are recapping an epic deer hunting trip with a ton of awesome stories. The last time he came out, it was a bit of a drought and neither one of us got a deer. We're going through our trip day by day, and things kicked off on a Thursday. About an hour in, Charles was already on a stalk on a deer we named Limp Bizkit. He got in super close to a buck, but he had no shot. I then made a stalk where I was trying to cheat the wind. I moved to a spot where I tried to get a shot, and then a big buck we called Megatron came into view, but there was a doe right in front of him. Charles then found my number two buck, Heavy D, and dropped in after him and we chat about how things turned out.   Every morning of the trip, one of us had some great opportunities. Charles had the chance to shoot a big Javelina boar, but it was starting to get hot during the afternoon which was frustrating. We picked up some mule deer bucks, but we had to go out pretty far to get the wind right. We also were looking at a bunch of Coues deer who were in a decent position, but the doe wound up deciding for us and we passed on the buck that time. One evening, we decided to switch units, which didn't turn out too great, so we packed up and tried somewhere else the next morning.    Towards the end of the trip, Charles was within yards of a buck. I had to leave, but Anthony was with us, and he decided to take over. Charles snuck up closer to where the buck was within the flats and waited for a bit. Eventually, the deer caught his wind, and they took off. He moved in on another good buck, but the smaller lead buck got off to his right too much, and they both took off as well. Charles then sat up on some peaks and picked the bucks back up. The story continues through some more twists and turns but ends on a high note.     What's Inside: Recap and stories from an OTC deer hunt with Charles.   Mentioned in this episode Phoenix Shooting Bags save 20% with code johnstallone Howl for Wildlife: https://www.howlforwildlife.org/ GoHunt: https://www.gohunt.com/   Short Description:   Charles Whitwam and I are recapping an epic deer hunting trip with a ton of awesome stories.

This is the second year I've joined some buddies for the first week of the year to chase Coues in the backcountry right in the peak of the rut. There were bucks everywhere, stalks every day, arrows flew, and meat came out of the backcountry with us. There was also the accidental shooting of the “wrong” deer who was one of two with a very distinct antler situation. Too many bucks to keep track of is exactly the problem you want to have out there, and it's what this area seems to deliver every year.

This year my wife and oldest son drew pretty great rifle Coues deer tags in the Arizona desert, and for a number of reasons my wife ended up not going. So, me and my two sons (ages 13 & 10) set out for a 3-day boys trip to try and get my oldest a shot at a buck. The weather was cold, the hikes were long, and the bucks were in short supply.At the end of the day, though, we had a great time hanging out together in the wild. We pushed ourselves, saw some great country, and made memories that will last a lifetime. This episode is all about that experience, and some pretty poignant thoughts about hunting with your kids.

AZ Draw with Dave Barnett from GoHunt Show Notes: Dave Barnett is the Research Content Manager at GoHunt, where he deals mostly with their insider platform. He's been working at GoHunt full-time since 2018 and prior to that, he did freelance writing work for them as far back as 2015. Through his work, Dave's intimately familiar with how the drawing process works, and here, we talk tag strategy and pick apart Arizona. We go over how the state's point system works, which happens to be my and Dave's favorite. Backwards to a lot of other states, 20% of the tags go to the highest point holders while the other 80% goes to a random draw.   In the past, there were leftover tags available for deer hunts, but you don't see that anymore. Dave and I talk about what's different now, and even though the pressure is climbing, the odds of drawing are still pretty good. Some units are already closed, and we talk about how limited tag numbers create a focusing effect on what's still available. We also discuss changes in the upcoming elk draw, which there haven't been too many of in Arizona. However, a lot of the surrounding Western states have changed due to the growing population and demand from residents.    Even a tiny percentage change in a point system can affect your strategy, and Dave gives us his take on Arizona. In general, if you're a high point holder, it's fairly predictable. We explain the point system in laymen's terms and make it super simple to understand. We also talk about late-season hunting, which offers a totally different experience than some other states. Dave explains the different tiers of units and why it's important to think about what you want to accomplish during your hunting experience. He also shares how you can use the GoHunt platform to decipher what's best.  What's Inside: Overview of AZ's tag draw process  How the current draw process differs from the past Dave's take on the Arizona point system Late-season hunting strategy tips Unit tiers and how to plan based on what you want to experience How to use the GoHunt platform to plan your strategy   Mentioned in this episode Phoenix Shooting Bags save 20% with code johnstallone Howl for Wildlife: https://www.howlforwildlife.org/ GoHunt: https://www.gohunt.com/   Short Description: Dave Barnett is the Research Content Manager at GoHunt and here, we talk tag strategy and pick apart Arizona.

Coues Deer Hunting with Creed Christinat   Show Notes: Creed Christinat is known for taking some pretty nice bucks and he joins me to talk about Coues deer. He's 33 years old and lives in a small Arizona town called Elfrida. Creed works at a coal and natural gas power plant and when he's not at his day job, he's raising his family along with his wife. He's also a passionate hunter and Coues deer is his specialty. Coues deer can really get under your skin and those who are in the know are aware they're unique. Creed hunts them primarily with a bow, which is a next-level challenge, and here, he shares some stories and tips from his trips.    One of the things I love about Coues deer is they're a white tail that you're spotting and stalking. They stay in small groups unlike mule deer and for me, they've always been a great animal to hunt. I hunt them with a rifle, but Creed has a different perspective on bow hunting. Even though most people hunt Coues in December or January, Creed's favorite time to hunt them is in August and September. They're visible then, they haven't been hunted in months, and there are fewer people to compete with. If you find a deer in late July or early August, chances are they'll be there for you in the archery season. The only downside is antler development, which changes from year to year.    Creed walks through what he does to locate big bucks, whether he's hunting in the desert or high pine country. He likes to target places that are less hunted, which sometimes can be deep in the wilderness or places that are completely overlooked. Creed gets into what an ideal buck canyon looks like, including proximity to permanent water. He shares his primary plan of attack, what he looks for when patterning and stalking, and how he knows it's time to go in for the kill. Creed talks about how his techniques have changed over the years and how he continues to improve. We wrap up by talking about the different seasons, Coues deer behavioral characteristics to pay attention to, and Creed shares a story from a hunting trip he had with his brother.

Throwback Thursday with Billy Babish   Show Notes:    I've got my good friend and long-time hunting colleague, Billy Babish, on the TBT today. Being Arizona natives, Billy and I both know what it's like to be archery hunting late in the season in this state. But Billy has a special skill…he only gets to hunt by himself for about 5-6 days in a year but he always manages to bag himself a buck. He's got great know-hows about late season archery hunting in AZ and he gave us the low-down on Coues and mules, animal patterns, strategies he's tried and what has worked for him over the years.  Talking Mule Deer Hunting Tactics with Muley Slayer Marc Smith      Fan of the Show?
