Caleb gives an update on the final day of deer season and apologizes for some technical difficulties that prevented last nights podcast from airing. Next week you will get the full season review from the brothers!

Uncle Jay, Caleb & Isaac sit down at Jays to have a fireside chat on the final thoughts on the "Make Ohio Great Again" series.

Alright guys Monday January 19th, we apologize for not having a new podcast out for you guys this week, we did have a guest lined up that ended up falling through and then sickness hit the deer shop and we were unable to get one recorded.  Next week we will be at Uncle Jays, cooking up a batch of moose chili for the annual Chatham Historical Society chili cook off, and that presents a perfect opportunity to somewhat wrap up this recent series on how to improve Ohio's deer hunting. We've had a big mixture of positive and negative reaction to the series, and want to stress once again that we do not think the hunting in Ohio is terrible, we simply want the state to continue taking steps to make it better. Deer hunting is our passion and to sit by idle while stakeholders and people with the money & power make decisions over the biologists on what is better for our deer herd is something we are not going to stand for. We have started filming pretty hard for the season finale of the Deer Camp Chronicles and hope to have that to you as soon as the season ends here in Ohio. Once again we apologize for not having a new episode released this week, keep an eye out for next weeks episode from Uncle Jays. Deer Shop Out!

We are joined in the studio this week by Aaron Olsen of Next Step Outdoors & Matt Williams of Born Again Bowhunting to continue our conversation of Ohio's deer hunting and what can be done to improve it. This is part 3 of the series following episodes 124 & 125.

This week on The Deer Shop Podcast, Caleb, Isaac, and Uncle Jay are joined by Skip Sligh of Iowa Whitetail for a deep dive into the legendary Iowa Method—and how it can be applied to Ohio deer hunting. Skip breaks down the core principles that have made Iowa a whitetail powerhouse: lack of baiting, crossbows, limited non-resident tags and passing immature bucks. The crew digs into how those same strategies translate to Ohio’s pressure, terrain, and herd dynamics, plus what not to copy blindly. Whether you’re a public-land grinder, a private-land manager, or just trying to get more consistent encounters with mature bucks, this episode delivers practical takeaways you can use this season.

Caleb, Isaac and Luke sit down to break down Mike Rex's questions he posed to Ohio hunters recently on social media. What is best for the deer hunting in Ohio? Do we need more deer? More trophy quality deer? More liberal seasons? More restriction? The feathers are sure to be ruffled after this one! We would love to hear back from the audience on their opinions!
