UPO Live On Air Ep. 67- The Day The Woods Went Silent
3d ago00:34:25Tap to summarizeIn November of 2004, deep in the forests of Sawyer County, Wisconsin, what should have been a routine opening weekend of deer season turned into one of the most shocking crimes in American hunting history. Six hunters were killed and two others were wounded during a confrontation in the woods near the tiny community of Meteor—an event that would later become known as the Wisconsin Tree Stand Murders.In this episode, we walk through the full story from start to finish: the early morning hunt, the confrontation over land and boundaries, the chaos that followed in the timber, the massive manhunt that crossed state lines, and the courtroom battle that ended with a life sentence. We also revisit the decades-long aftermath and the recent news of the killer’s death in prison more than twenty years later, bringing renewed attention to a case that still echoes through the hunting community today.This is a story about deer camp tradition, conflict in the woods, and how quickly a normal day outdoors can turn into something unthinkable.UPO Gear & Such- https://uponation.co/UPO Social Media- https://linktrh.ee/underpressureoutdoorsBecome a Patron- https://www.patreon.com/user?u=45295718Deep Roots Rifle Company- Use Code UPO10 to save 10%

Ep. 335- Fortified Cotton Seed: The better alternative for feeding whitetail deer
5d ago01:35:33Tap to summarizeThis week we sat down with Hunter Barrett of Fortified Cotton Seed to break down one of the most talked-about shifts in modern whitetail management—moving away from traditional corn piles and high-cost protein feeds toward a more natural, cost-effective alternative.Hunter walks us through how cottonseed-based supplementation is being used by land managers and hunters across the South to support body condition, antler growth, and herd health without the drawbacks that often come with heavy corn feeding. We dig into when and how to use cottonseed, how it compares nutritionally to corn and pelleted protein, and what role it can realistically play in year-round deer management strategies.Whether you manage a small food plot or thousands of acres, this conversation challenges the way we think about supplemental feeding for whitetail deer and offers practical insight you can apply right away heading into the season.https://fortifiedcottonseed.com/DAYTONA 55 TICKETS!!!- https://daytonaarchersinc.com/event/daytona-55/#tribe-tickets__tickets-formHangFree- https://hangfree.co/ Use code UPO10 at checkout for 10% off your next order!Dayton Archers Club- https://daytonaarchersinc.com/ Mention UPO and get 10% off your membershipBecome a Patron- https://www.patreon.com/user?u=45295718UPO Gear & Such- https://uponation.co/ UPO Social Media- https://linktr.ee/underpressureoutdoors

Everybody’s got stickers on their coolers, everybody’s got a banquet they support, and everybody’s convinced their organization is the one truly saving hunting.But if we strip away the branding, the raffles, the banquets, and the social media posts… where is the money actually going?Who’s buying habitat?Who’s restoring land?Who’s improving public access?And which groups are really moving the needle for wildlife?Because at the end of the day, conservation shouldn’t just be a slogan. It should be measurable.UPO Gear & Such- https://uponation.co/UPO Social Media- https://linktrh.ee/underpressureoutdoorsBecome a Patron- https://www.patreon.com/user?u=45295718Deep Roots Rifle Company- Use Code UPO10 to save 10%
