Predominant wind, barometric pressure, cold fronts, wind speed, sunrise & sun set. We rely heavily on our weather apps during the hunting season to help us determine when and where we want to hunt, what layers we need to wear, and what to expect when we get set up. However, are all weather apps created equal? Should we simply trust the weather app that comes with our phone or simply go to the Weather Channel app? What forecasting model do those basic weather apps use? In today's episode, Jacob shares his top 3 weather apps that he examines closely when preparing for a simple hunt in the evening, or on a long extended trip out of state.

Knife making is both an art and a science. In today's episode, Jacob continues to examine the dynamics of the steel composition of high end knives and the implications of that composition. There are a lot of steels that were created in the 1940's to 1960's (A2 Tool Steel, D2 Tool Steel) that were specific for the manufacturing industry and are still used in high end hunting knives today. But what do knife steels look like as they evolved in the early 2000's and what do knife steels look like now as they evolved in the 2020's. There are often tradeoffs between toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. But is it possible to create a steel that has balance across these 3 knife steel dynamics. And, if so, what options are out there now for those looking for that balance of properties.

If you haven't noticed, there is a new product segment emerging in the hunting knife space. Maybe it's been there all along...but it seems that there are more and more companies branching out and creating high end fixed blade hunting knives. The prices range from $200 to $400. And, while they look amazing, how do we know they are a worthy investment? Aside from the aesthetics, they all sort of seem the same? In today's episode, Jacob begins the deep dive into knife steel and some of the dynamics that come into play with regards to the type of steels that are available and how their composition of carbon, chromium, vanadium and other elements will dictate their toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance.

In today's episode, Jacob will dive into part 2 of the study that was recently shared by James Yates with Western Hunter Magazine. James partnered with Easton, Precision Cut and Black Ovis, to answer some of the lingering questions that he had as it relates to arrow flight and the many variables that can effect that flight (mechanical broadheads, fixed blade broadheads, 3 fletched arrows, 4 fletched arrows, etc.). As we all get ready for the fall hunting season, this data could prove to be helpful in determining some of your set up decisions.

The purpose of a single bevel blade on a broadhead is to twist as it penetrates as opposed to creating a flat cut plane like a double bevel blade does. As a result, you have a wound channel that doesn't close or re-seal easily, which hopefully translates into better blood trails and better recoveries. In today's episode, Jacob share the results of his evaluation of 2 different single bevel broadheads. Jacob shot the Iron Will 125 and the Toulou 125 through ballistic gel and each through a mature whitetail shoulder blade. He examined the twist rate of each broadhead and penetration. The results of  the evaluation were compelling and worth sharing.

Just because an ad shows a hunter with an e-bike, or is promoted by a hunter, doesn't mean that e-bike is going to be a good spend of your money or perform the way you want it to in a particular situation. In today's episode, Jacob continues the examination of the brands and models of the top hunting e-bikes. The parameters are mid-drive bikes with 1000w motors, 20Ah batteries, with an emphasis on multiple gear options and built in class adjustment modes (Class 1, Class 2, Class 3). The brands include Velowave, BikTrix, Rambo, BackCou, Quiet Cat, and Face Off. The bikes that are outlined here are at the top of the food chain. Based on their specs, they are ideal for using in hill country and on flat terrain.

There are likely hunting situations that you have been in either in state or out of state when an e-bike would have helped you make better use of your time. Maybe there was a well used trail, a fire road, or an old logging trail. And, an e-bike could get you away from some of the nearby hunting pressure. In today's episode, Jacob is going to begin the breakdown of the e-bike category. There is a lot of options and it can be a bit overwhelming. Not all e-bikes are the same and there are some important considerations to evaluate before you jump in. Hub drive vs. Mid drive, 750w motor vs. 1000w motor, newton meters of torque, weight of the frame, single speed vs. multi-speed, and is it a Class 1, 2, or 3? Lots to discern. Thanks for listening.

On today's episode, Jacob shares his thoughts on the mobile hunting brands that he feels are missing the mark and a few that are effectively demonstrating the "Hedgehog Principle" and as a result are winning in the mobile hunting space. Every segment of business ebbs and flows based on the ever evolving interests of consumers. As some market segments grow, there are more and more new entrants into that market...and every company in that segment tends to have success. But what happens when there is a downturn in interest in potential new customers? What brands will remain and what brands will fade away? The mobile hunting market has been growing significantly over the past 5 to 6 years. But, when this segment plateaus or even takes a downturn, what brands can sustain success?  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

For Hunt Arsenal, they introduced 2 new saddles, 2 new platforms, 2 new climbing sticks, and several new packs. For Tethrd, they introduced a frame pack for packing out meat, a unique and versatile hand saw, a new dual panel saddle, and a new bino harness line.

Happy New Year! Welcome to 2025. On today's episode, Jacob shares his growth goals for 2025. In many ways, the 2024 whitetail season was a solid success with two bucks hitting the ground. But, as the 2025 season approaches, Jacob wants to evolve several aspects of how he hunts and where he hunts in an effort to increase opportunities. This includes arrow set up, saddle set up, public ground expansion, and adding a new state, among other things.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

On today's episode, Jacob shares an update on his season...both on public and private. And the value of spending time in the woods now as one can hunt this year's buck and next year's buck. Deer have been pressured and shot at...and any pockets you find now are going to be worth noting and well worth your time in the field. Also, Jacob continues his look at the climbing stick category. This week it is the "Lightweight" category...those sticks under 20 ounces per stick. Some of these sticks are unique and have innovative features...while some lack value and need an update.

In today's episode, Jacob details how he broke down a piece of out of state public land, and in relatively short order, tagged a mature 11 pointer. As he outlines his hunt, he goes back to last fall when he felt he needed to add another state to his whitetail season. During the summer, Jacob spend time examining maps of public and private, and tried to identify a drainage system that would have several ridges dumping into it, as well as limited access points. He wanted to avoid any pre-season scouting and simply scout in season. As a result of his efforts, he found a piece that was relatively unpressured, found hot sign, and identified a ridge system that held several mature bucks.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

As the great motivational speaker, Matt Foley, once said, "you're going to live on a steady diet of government cheese, and be living in a van down by the river". And if that sounds like you right now during the whitetail rut, then congratulations, you're doing the rut right.

Also, Jacob discusses the pressure that is on maintaining hunting as a way of life. And lastly, Jacob shares some of the gear he has in his "van" in order to live over the next week or so as he bounces from 2 different pieces of public in 2 different states.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Jacob also shares his experience with a fired up buck while hunting on the ground during the 2 day muzzleloader weekend.

Listen as Jacob shares his thoughts on shooting a buck that wasn't his target buck...but was the right buck to take.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
