Chances are, the 2023 deer season is going to look a little different than previous years for Josh and Pierce. They both had great deer seasons last, tagging nice bucks with their bows and learning a ton along the way. This year, both of them find themselves in a growing season as entrepreneurs. This means full plates and less time to hunt. With this in mind, the guys chat about their hunting plans for the fall, what their personal goals are for a "shooter" buck, and they even call their shot, choosing the date and location they believe they'll find success. Lots of good stuff here to get you dialed in for deer season!

Aaron is a diehard public land hunter. He shares his knowledge and experience of chasing public land whitetails on a couple of different outlets including Truth from the Stand and Exodus Outdoor Gear blogs. But he doesn’t just write about it. The proof is in the pudding, and Aaron is incredibly consistent in getting on above average deer on public ground.

The only problem with the October lull theory is that it simply isn’t supported by the evidence. GPS collar studies have consistently shown that buck activity increases as October rolls on. And there are lots of guys who are out tagging big bucks in high-pressured areas in the heart of October. So what are we to make of the October lull?

In this episode of the How to Hunt Deer Podcast, Josh talks with Dan Johnson of the Nine Finger Chronicles to get his unfiltered opinion on the October lull. Dan shares his thoughts on where the theory came from, what the average hunter should make of it, and what guys should do if they want to be on deer in the month of October. Spoiler alert, you should still go hunting!

In this episode of the How to Hunt Deer podcast, Josh talks with Dan Johnson about adjusting to hunting pressure. Sometimes the adjustments one needs to make are major. Sometimes they’re more subtle. But one thing is sure, if you hunt the entire season with the same strategy and in the same locations you hunted on opening day, the odds of you having regular encounters with deer are very slim. Tune in to learn how Dan makes adjustments to stay on deer despite, and sometimes because of, hunting pressure.
