In this exclusive post-conviction interview with CJ, we• Peel back the curtain on what actually happened and he opens up and shares the true story of this buck (not the made-up one) - including untold details of taking it and never before seen video footage. • He reveals how he found this deer, what drove him to pursue it relentless despite the risk (that’s a little different than some have said).• Things he says were portrayed in a wrong light by the DNR.• Why he continued to tell a lie to the public even after confessing to DNR officers.• Just what he was thinking as this charade unfolded in front of the whole country.Unforeseen consequences and BIG regrets he has.• What he plans to do moving forward to hopefully right a wrong. It’s a conversation full of lessons we all can learn from so hopefully mistakes like this can be avoided in the future by others.

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)

In this High IQ Topics podcast I'm looking at 6 things I'm doing right now, to up my odds at taking a good buck in the fall. The reality is that NOW (spring/summer) is when success happens, fall is just execution. And if you wait to prepare these very important things until fall, its too late. In this episode I cover:1. Holes you need to fill, patch, and repair to have a solid foundation to hit the woods (I'll explain) .2. Something you MUST REMOVE at all costs before fall comes.3. How I'm preemptively fixing mistakes, and what.4. One thing I continually think you MUST accumulate and inventory.5. 4 things to PLAN for success and not stagnate.6. A Gear KIT I think you should have prepared ready to go within the next month!And more!MENTIONED IN THE SHOW:• Deer IQ ADVANCED WHITETAIL WORKSHOP SIGNUP HERE : https://deeriq.com/deeriq-whitetail-workshop/ DEER IQ Services:  • The PAID 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: High IQ TopicsSeries: Land & Food StrategiesEpisode # 91Guest: Host Adam LewisIQ ranking - 5 (Intermediate)

In this episode of the Deer IQ Podcast we are in a new series - the Art of Hunting. We will delve into some very interesting topics,  from tracking down bucks, to the debate and high iq strategy of trail camera use, to the fine points of broad head selection, and to what it’s like going tech-naked for a whole season.  In this episode I’m back with famous writer Richard P. Smith talking about tracking bucks, and in particular wounded bucks - which we’ve all dealt with at some point and probably will in the future. Here are the top things to look for during this episode on tracking wounded bucks:• Why don’t many hunters track deer anymore as a hunting technique as historically was the norm - why has this art been lost?• What should you do after killing a deer, that is a huge learning opportunity that most miss out on completely. • What are key indicators of good vs. bad hits - and an important one that most hunters totally overlook?• What are the keys to tracking gutshot deer and determining the proper wait time, so you don’t make critical errors and ruin your chances of recovery?• When should you call in a tracking dog, and what is the dark side of doing this - that may make you really think before calling one in?• And how can other animals (not dogs) help you find a wounded deer when all else fails?MENTIONED IN THE SHOW:• Deer IQ ADVANCED WHITETAIL WORKSHOP SIGNUP HERE : https://deeriq.com/deeriq-whitetail-workshop/ • Previous episode with Richard - https://youtu.be/nD4-me4Y_4A • Get Richard's Books: https://richardpsmith.com/ 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/ • Get a Land Plan HERE: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfEBSw2DrrvyYBr_qzl3OxagG2PJLgL7DotkYxCYltPWr8sUg/viewform Year Theme: To consistently take the top deer where you huntSeries: The Art of HuntingEpisode # 90Guest: Host Adam Lewis, Richard P.

In this episode of the Deer IQ Podcast I’m with Rich Chrzan of Killer Food Plots for part 2 of our talk, getting further into some details of how to properly setup food plots for optimum success, and some bigger picture ideas with how they should fit in your whole hunting strategy on your land. Here are the top things to look for during this episode:• What are Rich’s thoughts on planting 1 food plot for the entire year that is a broad mix vs. planting both spring and fall plots that are very different?• How do you know the best timing for putting in plots based on your area so you don’t miss the optimal growing window?• What big picture strategies should you think about when putting in plots - related to your entire land and hunting strategy?.• What are our thoughts about morning vs. evening hunts in relation food plots?• What is the difference between destination and kill plots according to Rich, and where should these be put on your property so they work for, not against you?• What is a potential solution to EHD - one that I had never heard of and that could be a literal life-saver for your deer herd? MENTIONED IN THE SHOW:• Deer IQ ADVANCED WHITETAIL WORKSHOP SIGNUP HERE : https://deeriq.com/deeriq-whitetail-workshop/ • Land Management STARTER KIT HERE: https://deeriq.com/land-management-starter-kit/ • Killer Food Plots: https://killerfoodplots.com/ • Get a Land Plan HERE: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfEBSw2DrrvyYBr_qzl3OxagG2PJLgL7DotkYxCYltPWr8sUg/viewform Year Theme: To consistently take the top deer where you huntSeries: Land & Food StrategiesEpisode # 89Guest: Host Adam Lewis, Rich ChrzanIQ ranking - 5 (Intermediate)DEER IQ Services:  • The PAID Deer IQ Aptitude TEST & Consultation HERE: https://deeriq.com/full-assessment/  • For interest in a our Advanced Whitetail Workshop: https://deeriq.com/deeriq-whitetail-workshop/  • Other Services - land and hunting plans for your private land,  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/
