We talk about deer sign a lot. Tracks, rubs, scrapes, beds, and food sources all make sense when we think about them individually, but taking a step back to look at the big picture is something most of us don't do often enough. Luckily, there are people out there like Brian Dombrowski who can help us break things down!

This week, Pierce & Brian start what was originally intended to be a woodsmanship podcast, and it is, at times... but that seems too limiting for the conversation the guys had. In this episode, the guys dive into scouting, understanding food sources, reading tacks and rubs, going with "the flow" of the woods, not wasting time playing safe in the early season, and at the end of it all, just keeping things simple. It's a conversation that should hopefully give you reason to pause, zoom out, and think about this upcoming season a little differently. Enjoy!

Ever drive by the county park on your way to work, see a giant and think, "Man, sure would be nice if I could hunt that."? Maybe you kick up a nice buck while walking your dog in a forest preserve but just don't know how you'd go about hunting the area. If either of those scenarios sound familiar, this episode is for you as Pierce sits down with a barefooted Lions fan: Dave McChesney!

In this week's episode the guys dive down the suburban hunting rabbit hole and it is a blast! Dave shares the story of how he went from hunting over bait in a ladder stand to discovering mobile hunting and falling in love with hunting public land in metropolitan areas. The guys share their thoughts on suburban hunting opportunities, talk about how they discovered mobile hunting and lessons learned through trial & error, the highs & lows of hunting tiny parcels, teaching new hunters, planning the season with your spouse, and tons more!

It's hot, it's humid, the mosquito swarms could carry you away, and that can only mean one thing... It's time to start hanging trail cameras! And who would be better to talk about trail cam strategies with than Jacob Sklenar? That's right, folks, Jacob is back again to drop even more knowledge to help you guys get off on the right track this deer season, and you might want to grab your notepad.

In this week's episode the guys share how their summers have been, and then dive right into strategy talk. Jacob breaks down why he uses trail cameras to answer a question he has, and how he goes about doing that. He shares areas he likes to hang cameras, when he likes to hang cameras, some subtleties he picks up about other hunters in an area and how they will shift deer movement, how he uses historic data about an area, reading tracks when the camera doesn't go off, and even a bit of speculation about technology in the woods. All that and more in this week's episode!
