Born Again Bowhunting

On this episode, we’re joined by Kevin Mullet from Hunters Advocate of Ohio, a group working hard to protect and improve the future of whitetail hunting in our state.

Kevin and his team break down what’s really happening with Ohio’s deer herd and why many hunters feel the quality is declining faster than it can recover. Ohio has long been known as a big-buck state with affordable over-the-counter tags, but that popularity comes with pressure especially from heavy nonresident traffic.

This isn’t about shutting anyone out. We all travel to hunt other states too. It’s about finding fair, sustainable solutions that protect the herd for everyone.

We dive into hot topics like:
​ Baiting
​ Cell cameras
​ Nonresident pressure
​ Crossbows all season
​ Drone usage
​ And what a real change could look like

If you care about the future of Ohio deer hunting, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss!

On this episode we sit down with Nick and Easton from The Venari Effect to discuss reasons why we think Ohios quality of deer is spiraling down the drain. This is a very real issue and currently needs to be dealt with it. Tune in next week with Ohio Hunters Advocate on ways we ALL can be involved.
Side note the thumbnail was a comment Mike Rex posted on an Ohio whitetail page. For anyone who doesn’t know Mike Rex is on the whitetail council and appears he is mocking the very system he has created.

On this episode, King Corn joins us for a wide ranging round table discussion that covers a little bit of everything. We break down some late season deer tactics, call Matty out for being scared to shoot the Ohio Archers 300 indoor shoot, smokeless power in a muzzleloader? And as always we dive into some rabbit holes along the way.

Thanks for listening!!
