Learn to Hunt the Whitetail Deer - Wild Harvest
from Homesteady - Stories of Living off the Land · host Austin Martin, Squash Hollow Farm
Learning to Hunt Alone is Hard In this episode of Homesteady, we discussed learning to hunt, and how many mistakes one can make when learning without a mentor. Aust learned to hunt by trial and error for his first few years, spooking many a deer his first year. One November afternoon, after still hunting for the good part of the morning, Aust sat down for lunch, making a rookie move of sitting on his butt, when suddenly a big buck arrived, catching him unprepared and off guard. Lessons learned the hard way finally brought Aust to a point where now he harvests multiple deer each year, filling his freezers. Venison is awesome Deer hunting is challenging, but the rewards are great. Venison is a flavor filled meat, with a wide range of uses. One deer can provide a hunter with Steaks Chops Roasts Sausage Burger And when prepared right, venison can pass even the most anti hunters palate. Wild Harvest: Whitetail Deer 101 Course Homesteady is preparing to launch the Wild Harvest Whitetail Deer Course. This course will teach the beginning hunter all the essential knowledge needed for a new hunter to prepare for, and succeed in his first year of hunting.
