Late season bowhunting comes down to patience, timing, and trusting the plan.

This hunt is a reminder that late season whitetails can be the most predictable—and the most unforgiving—time of the year. Cold mornings, quiet woods, and one moment that made it all worth it.

In this episode of the Deer IQ Podcast, we're joined by Dr. Andrew Little (University of Nebraska) to break down GPS-collared buck data that reveals how much hunting pressure deer will tolerate before their behavior changes.Using real movement data, we explore how many hunters per acre actually creates pressure, how quickly bucks respond once that line is crossed, and why most deer don't leave — they simply avoid hunters.If you manage a property, share a lease, or hunt pressured ground, this episode answers the critical questions:• How many hunters can your land realistically support?• When does good hunting start to decline — and why?• What is the true pressure threshold, and how do you stay below it all season?This episode defines hunting pressure in measurable terms and gives you practical ways to manage it so your land hunts better and stays fresh longer.• 2A DISPLAY PRODUCTS (10% OFF Code "IQ" ) Here: https://www.2adisplay.com/ • Get a Smart Land & Hunting Plan HERE: https://deeriq.com/land-and-hunting-plans/ • Take the Deer IQ Test 360 HERE: https://deeriq.com/full-assessment/** Season 3 Quiz: https://deeriq.com/season-3-quiz/ • GENERAL INFO about ALL Deer IQ Resources HERE: https://deeriq.com/services/ Website: https://deeriq.com Facebook Private Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/511109237864762 Deer IQ FREE Journal: https://deeriq.com/journal/ Pressured Public Lands Hunting Guide: https://deeriq.com/public-land-hunting-guide/ Newsletter Signup: https://deeriq.com/signup/ Patreon - Contribute Financially to Deer IQ: https://www.patreon.com/DeerIQPatreon Scent Control Regimen: https://deeriq.com/scentcontrol-regimen/ Episode # 121Guest: Host Adam Lewis, Dr. Andrew LittleIQ ranking - 5 (Intermediate)

This is the kind of story bowhunters dream about—but rarely get to finish. For five years, this Illinois whitetail was more than just a deer on camera. From his first appearance as a young buck in 2021, to finding his sheds year after year, to countless close encounters and near misses, “Muley” became a part of the journey. Season after season, he slipped through the cracks. Gun seasons. Nighttime movement. Swirling winds. Missed opportunities. But late-season patterns, patience, and years of history finally brought everything together. This is the full story—trail camera history, shed hunts, late-season strategy, heartbreak, redemption, and the moment every bowhunter works toward but never takes for granted. Not every long-term buck story ends this way. This one did. Bowhunt or Die.

Paul kicks off November in Wyoming with his first whitetail bow hunt of the season, and things get western fast. Between guiding hunters, chasing mule deer and antelope, and coming off an Alaska trip, this is his first real chance to climb into a tree and chase whitetails on public ground. Right away, Paul deals with classic public-land chaos: old stands left behind, other hunters slipping through, swirling winds, and deer that always seem just out of bow range. But persistence pays off!

EP 218 - In this episode of The Salty Yak Outdoors Podcast we meet the "Moore Boys". Father, Jonathan, and his sons JJ and KJ. We talk about how God put us together others and what that has lead too. Spiritual guidance for me and my team and the "Lord's Chicken" LOL. The opportunity to go deer hunting for them. But it is so much more than that. The friendships that have come have been such a blessing. I do not beleive in coincidences. God has a plan and who we encounter in our lives is part of that plan. I hope you enjoy the podcast!
