It’s the most magical time in the deer woods, the rut! If you’re still holding a buck tag you know the best is yet to come in terms of overall deer activity and you’re probably overflowing with optimism. Just because it’s the rut certainly doesn’t guarantee success and there are plenty of things you can do to swing the odds in your favor. While some tactics have been proven effective during this time of year, other factors must be considered if you want to increase your odds for success.

In this episode, Nick and The Doctor break down their rut hunting strategies and talk about what has worked best for them over their combined 80 years of deer hunting experience. They cover some of the more expected approaches as well as some you may not have thought of hoping to help you hang your tag on a buck this fall.

Kingdom of Fraud

Kingdom of Fraud

It’s the unlikeliest of criminal partnerships: a devout polygamist from an insular Utah sect joining forces with a shadowy Armenian tycoon from LA. The result - a billion dollar fraud conspiracy. In Kingdom of Fraud, investigative reporter Michele McPhee traces the origins of the extraordinary alliance between Jacob Kingston and Levon Termendzhyan. Together, the two men trigger the largest tax investigation in American history and weave around themselves a web of dirty cops, influential political relationships and transnational money laundering. All this is set against the backdrop of Jacob Kingston’s clan – The Order. A powerful and secretive polygamist organization in Salt Lake City. To whom Jacob is desperate to prove his worth.
