What's right and what's wrong when it comes to deer hunting invovles more than just regulations and laws. Our personal choices matter, and hunters who explore their ethics and try to do right by the deer are far more likely to feel good about their hunting every season.

Deer hunting is often talked about as mostly a mystery-free endeavor, but that's just not true and the hunters who acknowledge the value of staying curious are the ones who end up tagging more mature bucks.

Everyone loves the early season for turkeys, but the last couple of weeks can still provide plenty of gobbler action provided you know how to call, what decoys to use, and how to be patient enough to let a jaded bird get to your set up.

This 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.
