Ep. 1031: Back 40 - Why Your Deer Hunting Gets Worse the Harder You Try
2w ago00:58:57Tap to summarizeThis week on Back 40, Jake Hofer dives into a frustrating reality a lot of serious hunters eventually run into: the harder you try, the worse your deer hunting seems to get. He brought in four guys who’ve lived it and worked through it—Thomas Mlsna, Jared Van Hees, Kyle Heuerman, and Terry Peer—to break down why more effort doesn’t always mean more success. From over-managing your property and putting too much stock in food plots, to increasing pressure without realizing it, each guest shares where well-intentioned hunters go wrong. There’s also a deep dive into the hidden cost of overhunting, how small adjustments in strategy can create big results, and why some of the best hunters do less—not more. One idea. Four perspectives. A conversation that might completely change how you approach your season.

Ep. 1027: What 100+ Farms Taught Us About Big Bucks
Apr 1600:55:22Tap to summarizeWhat can 100+ farms teach us about big bucks? To answer it, Jake is joined by Jack Huston with Midwest Deer Surveys, who has flown hundreds of properties with thermal drones and seen exactly where deer are - and more importantly, where they aren’t. From density rings and social stress to bedding, pressure, and why “thicker” farms consistently produce, this episode challenges a lot of conventional thinking. We also get into how doe harvest impacts herds over time, what role genetics actually play, and why many hunters don’t struggle killing deer.
