In this episode of the In Seezyn Podcast, we sit down with brothers Michael Lukonen and David “DJ” Riley Jr., host of The Method Podcast with Latitude Outdoors. These two seasoned bowhunters dive deep into their experiences hunting public land, sharing the exact scouting tactics and hunting strategies that have led to consistent success in Kentucky’s early season and Kansas during the rut.
From analyzing terrain and sign to understanding deer movement in different phases of the season, Michael and DJ break down what it takes to locate, pattern, and harvest mature bucks on public ground when you have limited time to be successful.
We also get into gear and mobile setups that keep them efficient and adaptable — from lightweight saddle systems to their preferred accessories for quick adjustments in the field. Whether you’re new to public land hunting or a veteran chasing your next edge, this conversation is packed with actionable insights you can take straight into the woods.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
