On this episode of The Wisconsin Sportsman, Pierce sits down with Dan Johnson to talk about the importance of trusting your gut and learning from yourself to become a better bowhunter! The guys cover a wide range of topics from Dan's 1000th episode of the Ninefinger Chronicles, the evolution of outdoor media from entertainment to education, hypothetical debate of cell cam surveillance vs high-fence hunting, what would happen if there was a one week property boundary purge during deer season, the title of Dan's romance novel, and what the best strategy is to get your questions answered about a property right now, before the season really gets crazy. If you like to laugh, and also want some real-time deer advice, this episode is for you!

On this episode of The Wisconsin Sportsman, Pierce is flying solo to recap his early season hunts so far, and diving into his ever-evolving early-October whitetail strategy! October is one of those months that we wait for all year long. Leaves are changing, seasons are open across the country, and bucks' testosterone levels are climbing every single day. It can also be a tricky time to hunt as most of the corn is still standing across the midwest, and bucks can be tough to locate. Pierce dives into the importance of using this time to experiment with new spots and gather as much real-time information as possible to punch that tag early, or at the very least, develop a bulletproof game plan for the big show in a couple of weeks!
