In this Evergreen edition of the Big Buck Registry's Deer Hunt Podcast, we're reaching back to one of our most impactful early episodes — a 2013 conversation with Dean Vanier, founder of Northwoods Common Scents. Dean has spent over 30 years perfecting his approach to whitetail communication using 100% pure scent — and in this masterclass, he shares how hunters can use scent not as a gimmick, but as a tool for understanding and influencing deer behavior. We cover: Mock scrapes, drag rags, and the concept of the "virtual deer" Why buck urine is underrated early in the season Dean's scent layering strategy through all phases of the rut How scent helps you “talk” to deer using their own instincts And how the industry has changed since this episode first aired — including CWD laws, synthetic scents, and ATA/RHA certification Dean's methods are still converting skeptical hunters to this day — and his passion for woodsmanship through scent makes this one of the most timeless episodes in our archive.

Wisconsin DNR's Dan Storm joins Mark Boardman to examine the multi-year Southwest Wisconsin CWD, Deer and Predator Study. He gives us the “why” behind the study, how it was conducted and their findings. Tune in for interesting information on a contentious topic. As always, we want to hear your feedback!

In this episode of the Deer IQ podcast I'm with a north woods buck tracker - Nathan Nelson, as we look at how to find and track down big bucks. Now, since he's in the boonies, the reception is bad and there's some bad lip sink going on in a few areas as well as Nathan looking as pixelated as a minecraft character. But, I thought this was a very interesting episode for those who have thought about what it would take to take up a track, find the buck that made it, and kill it - something I've never done quite like this.  And also, even if you don't live in a ideal area to do this, there is great application to everyone in acquiring the skill of tracking, and how it can make us better hunters. So here are the top things to look for during this episode:• Exactly where should you start when trying to track down a big buck - what is the key first step?• What does Nathan look for in a track that tells him to commit to it, or not?• As you track, what sign are you looking for to tell you if you should speed up, or slow down in your pursuit?• What is the best terrain and conditions for tracking and getting on a mature buck?• What type of gear is best suited for doing this - he goes through his list?• What should you do when you lose a track, and when should you give up?• And what is the mental game involved in this type of hunting, and how can you win it to help seal the deal?  And more!MENTIONED IN THE SHOW:• Nathan's YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChqJd7zw7K7PZ6r_z2rcerA • Deer IQ ADVANCED WHITETAIL WORKSHOP SIGNUP HERE : https://deeriq.com/deeriq-whitetail-workshop/ DEER IQ Services:  • The Deer IQ Aptitude TEST & Consultation HERE: https://deeriq.com/full-assessment/  • Get a Land Plan HERE: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfEBSw2DrrvyYBr_qzl3OxagG2PJLgL7DotkYxCYltPWr8sUg/viewform • Other Services - coaching or a public land hunting analysis, visit HERE: https://deeriq.com/services/   More from DEER IQ:  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/  Year Theme: The Art of HuntingSeries: Land & Food StrategiesEpisode # 92Guest: Host Adam Lewis, Nathan NelsonIQ ranking - 5 (Intermediate)
