In this episode, Hunters Advantage breaks down the October cold front set to hit Kansas and Oklahoma this weekend, and why we think it could kick off one of the best stretches of the early season. In this truck-cast Hunt Talk, recorded on the way to the taxidermist, we cover what a temperature swing this big does to deer movement, why the first hard front pulls new bucks onto their fall range, and why you want to be in the woods before a mature buck ever shows up on camera. We also get into our plans for the lease and for Kansas public land: hunting fresh sign close to bedding, aging bucks against a five-year-old standard, playing a north wind, and whether giants hit the ground this weekend. - Get Tactacam Cameras for 15% off use code HA152026 - https://www.tactacam.com/ - Get 20% Off Pnuma Outdoors Gear here: https://pnumaoutdoors.com/?rfsn=8534842.ba528a - Use code HNTA15 for 15% off Out On A Limb MFG products! https://outonalimbmfg.com/ - Use code HA10 for 10% VPA Broadheads: vparchery.com - Check out Alberta Professional Outfitters Society for Hunting Alberta: https://www.apos.ab.ca/ -Follow our socials: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@huntersadvantage Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hunters_advantage Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Thehuntersadvantage Gmail: [email protected]

In this episode, Mason Babcock joins Hunters Advantage to break down how he consistently kills bucks on pressured public land — without a tree stand.Mason walks through his entire system: how he reads topography to narrow down where mature bucks actually move (even in flat country), why subtle drainages and terrain funnels matter more than most hunters realize, and how he reads sign the right way — separating the tracks and trails that put you on deer from the scrapes and rubs that don't. We also get into his public-land access game: how he handles pressure, finds the spots other hunters overlook, and stays undetected. Then there's the ground-hunting side — why he ditched the stand, how he sets up in a chair, and how he's killed bucks at 10 yards on the dirt. - - Get Tactacam Cameras for 15% off use code HA152026 - https://www.tactacam.com/ - Get 20% Off Pnuma Outdoors Gear here: https://pnumaoutdoors.com/?rfsn=8534842.ba528a - Use code HNTA15 for 15% off Out On A Limb MFG products! https://outonalimbmfg.com/ - Use code HA10 for 10% VPA Broadheads: vparchery.com - Check out Alberta Professional Outfitters Society for Hunting Alberta: https://www.apos.ab.ca/ -Follow our socials: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@huntersadvantage Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hunters_advantage Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Thehuntersadvantage Gmail: [email protected]

In this episode, Hunters Advantage breaks down one of the most reliable patterns in whitetail hunting: the early October cold front. When that first real temperature drop hits, mature bucks that have been moving under the cover of darkness suddenly get on their feet in daylight — and we were in the right spot when it happened. Watch the full story of how a 150-inch mature buck slipped up on the first cold front of the season, the setup that put him in bow range, and why timing your sits around a falling thermometer is one of the biggest edges you can give yourself this time of year. - Get Tactacam Cameras for 15% off use code HA152026 - https://www.tactacam.com/ - Get 20% Off Pnuma Outdoors Gear here: https://pnumaoutdoors.com/?rfsn=8534842.ba528a - Use code HNTA15 for 15% off Out On A Limb MFG products! https://outonalimbmfg.com/ - Use code HA10 for 10% VPA Broadheads: vparchery.com - Check out Alberta Professional Outfitters Society for Hunting Alberta: https://www.apos.ab.ca/ -Follow our socials: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@huntersadvantage Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hunters_advantage Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Thehuntersadvantage Gmail: [email protected]

Wildlife biologists Dr. Charlie and Randy DeYoung join Hunters Advantage to debunk the biggest myths in deer management — cull bucks, antler genetics, and supplemental feeding. Drawing on decades of research at the Caesar Kleberg Wildlife Research Institute, including a landmark 20-year study on selective harvest, the DeYoungs separate what actually grows bigger bucks from what hunters just believe.We dig into whether shooting "cull bucks" really improves your herd (the data may surprise you), how much of antler size is genetics versus nutrition versus age, and whether supplemental feed is worth the money. If you've ever spent time or money trying to manage for bigger deer, this conversation will change how you think about it.Whether you hunt private land or manage your own property, the DeYoungs bring the science that cuts through the noise.Leave a rating and review if you enjoyed the conversation. - - Get Tactacam Cameras for 15% off use code HA152026 - https://www.tactacam.com/ - Get 20% Off Pnuma Outdoors Gear here: https://pnumaoutdoors.com/?rfsn=8534842.ba528a - Use code HNTA15 for 15% off Out On A Limb MFG products! https://outonalimbmfg.com/ - Use code HA10 for 10% VPA Broadheads: vparchery.com - Check out Alberta Professional Outfitters Society for Hunting Alberta: https://www.apos.ab.ca/ -Follow our socials: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@huntersadvantage Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hunters_advantage Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Thehuntersadvantage Gmail: [email protected]

In today's episode, we sit down with Blake Ramsey. Blake is an avid outdoorsman and whitetail hunter focused on chasing and killing mature bucks every year. The key to his success is his ability to find mature bucks and hunt them without intruding on their core areas. He believes mature bucks play a different game than other deer. They live by thermals, so you're access needs to be built-proof.

In today's episode, Wildlife biologist Mickey Hellickson joins Hunters Advantage to break down what GPS-collar research actually reveals about mature buck movement — and how hunters can use it to kill bigger deer. Drawing on decades of telemetry studies on free-ranging whitetails, Mickey explains how far mature bucks really travel, how their home ranges shift from early season into the rut, and why the "he disappeared" mystery isn't random at all.We dig into how hunting pressure changes buck behavior, where mature bucks go when the woods get crowded, and what the collar data means for where and when you should be hunting. If you've ever wondered where that big buck actually spends his time, this episode turns hard science into real hunting strategy.Whether you hunt public land or private, Mickey's research will change how you think about mature buck movement.- - Get Tactacam Cameras for 15% off use code HA152026 - https://www.tactacam.com/ - Get 20% Off Pnuma Outdoors Gear here: https://pnumaoutdoors.com/?rfsn=8534842.ba528a - Use code HNTA15 for 15% off Out On A Limb MFG products! https://outonalimbmfg.com/ - Use code HA10 for 10% VPA Broadheads: vparchery.com - Check out Alberta Professional Outfitters Society for Hunting Alberta: https://www.apos.ab.ca/ -Follow our socials: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@huntersadvantage Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hunters_advantage Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Thehuntersadvantage Gmail: [email protected]
