Welcome to the very first episode of Whitetail Rendezvous, a podcast made especially for the Whitetail community. I’m your host Bruce Hutcheon. Each episode will run for about 25 minutes, five days per week, featuring some of the most knowledgeable and dedicated whitetail individuals in the country. Listen as they share their remarkable stories that throb wildly with a passion for whitetails, and reveal their own secrets to a bountiful, successful hunt.
Let’s spend a minute or two sharing why Whitetail Rendezvous was created. I retired about four years ago and began spending more and more days hunting whitetails. Quickly I realized that while there were some good whitetail focused podcasts out there I just was not getting the info I wanted. And so it began: I learn about producing value-based content consistently for those passionate about Whitetails. I knew that if I gathered focused information, useful strategies, new techniques and ideas on how it’s done right, then so would thousands of others.
The work really began when my good friend, Bob Roark said he was interested in the project and wanted to help bring it to life. Phew, was I glad about that for hundreds of reasons. He helped me develop the foundation of Whitetail Rendezvous. From an idea the project morphed into a passion to a build whitetail community that shares “great stuff” with guys & gals just like you!

Quite plainly, as hunters, it’s what we live for. Hunting magazines dedicate entire issues to it, the Outdoor Channel runs nonstop footage of it, and social media is swarmed with it. It’s the time when we feel good about every hunt and every hour we are on stand. The Rut is a deer hunter’s cocaine, when we’re not hunting it, we’re consuming it, discussing it, daydreaming of it, and waiting for it.

The tradition of hunting started a very long time ago in New England, where the legendary LL Bean came from. It was an outdoors community of hunters and gatherers. Now, Leon Leonwood Bean or “LL” has passed on the hunting gene to his progeny, Bill Gorman. It’s in his DNA, and Bill proudly remembers LL Bean as someone who truly enjoyed the outdoors. In fact, their company is 103 years old thanks to his passions. Bill Gorman emphasizes the visual, the scents that go along with hunting in the early season: leaves are falling and starting to decompose, and you just get that smell… and it just feels right. Bill’s whole life has been about being outdoors and a humane hunter, understanding that we harvest animals. We kill animals. We do that for sustaining ourselves, our lives. It’s the original organic.

But it was a pretty humbling thing because a lot of it occurred on camera, and with the format of our online show, we pretty much are, I would say, uncensored because we’re family-friendly, I’ll put it that way. But we don’t do a lot to sugar-coat stuff. If something bad happens, we go through it and explain, well, this is what happened and here’s why and here’s what we’re going to do to fix it. Well, it just seemed like deer after deer, maybe like three different really good bucks over the course of the couple of seasons dropped at the sound of the shot and I didn’t kill them.

You know, there’s so much effort and focus and buzz surrounding the rut. For me, I think one of the most interesting things I’ve learned and I can probably attribute this to some friends in Saskatchewan is a lot of opportunity arises during the rut and you see a lot of those big bucks. But I would say what I’ve learned is most people, in late August and early September, are focusing their efforts on antelope, elk, different species. I would say that you have an equally or greater chance of patterning and harvesting a really good whitetail on opening morning. And really focusing your scouting efforts through August when they’re in their bachelor herds and in their summer routines and very predictable in their travel patterns. You can throw all that out the window during the rut.
Well, I would say to them welcome aboard and don’t give up and don’t stop trying. And basically I think what your listener could do who want to join the hunting industry is you really need to develop a skillset. Frankly right now the skills that we look for . . . you can be an engineer and product designer and obviously you can enter through the sales side because all these guns and bows and other things, somebody has got to sell them. You can get into the retail side and sell and go to work for Bass or Cabela’s or Corner Archery Shop, or something like that. That gets you into the industry.
Bloodline is in everybody’s vocabulary, everybody has a bloodline. If you come from a line of deer hunters, archery hunters, gun hunters, whatever it may be, it’s in your bloodline. Think about it. Who taught you to hunt, Bruce? Who took you on your first outdoor experience? That’s the message we’re sending. It’s important to pass on our heritage of whitetail hunting, turkey hunting, whatever it may be, fishing. Your outdoor experience. And that’s what we’re trying to do is motivate people to get more active in the outdoors.
I would have to agree with you on that, Bruce. It is the backbone probably of hunting here in the United States. I mean, the elk are phenomenal animals. The mule deer, the antelope, the turkeys, the ducks, the pheasants, I get it. But when it all comes down to the bottom line, it’s the whitetail deer that kind of drives the industry. So we’ve had a good product to work with in the whitetail deer, and quite honestly, in our 33 years, we have been blessed with so many loyal and generous members. That’s what allowed us to flourish, and to be able to work toward that mission statement.
Well, those deer are going to travel and I’m fortunate enough that we have a lot of farmland around. Now, for them to get to the nearest field, they barely have to go, they just have to walk outside one foot of the swamp and there’s fields. So we always have, you know, there’s always bean fields and corn fields that surround the swamp. Now the other thing that puts challenges on it, I mean, the only way that I could have afforded it 12 years ago, is like I said, that land is good for nothing but hunting. I’ve got a railroad track on one side and I’ve got I-90 on the other side
I would say just get out there, and check it out, and see how you feel when you get outside because there’s a lot of people who, at first they might be intimidated by it or feel uncomfortable because they’ve never done it. They might be embarrassed or feel like they might do something wrong, but when it comes to getting outside and just experiencing it, you can’t really go wrong. You get out there, and you’ll fall in love with it. You’ll see something you haven’t seen before. You might feel something you haven’t felt before. And I’ve seen, from the young people that I’ve taken out with me, something comes alive inside of them and they find that passion too, most of the time.
So I think the whitetail deer will always humble you. Right when you think you’ve got them figured out, they pull something new out of the hat. One of my favorite places, especially if I’m hunting a new area for whitetail, at least first hunt from an observation point, don’t go diving right into the middle of the wood lot right away. So many times, you see a deer trail heading in a certain direction and you assume he’s gonna come out somewhere on that trail. But those trails will circle up into the field almost every time, or I’m sorry, downwind of the field. So be aware of that. Look from a distance. Watch where you’re going. They will never cease to amaze you with how they approach a field. A mature buck or a mature doe, a mature doe that’s raised two fawns despite hunting, coyotes, and wolves is a smart animal.
Well, my best story of that kind today is short and to the point. You might entitle it “Key on Mature Bucks Only” by hunting within easy shooting range downwind or [inaudible 00:03:40] wind of very fresh tracks and/or droppings made by mature, unalarmed, not driving or bounding, bucks. By doing this, it seems simple, doesn’t it? By doing this, you can actually hunt bucks near where they are every day rather than where you merely hope they are. How’s that for a tip? Sounds simple but it’s more…
You know Bruce, I really can’t say I have one thing that makes me absolutely passionate about it. There are so many things. The one thing is, I do a lot of hunting alone, and I can get out there and get in my tree stand, buckle myself in and, you know, I can watch the squirrels play and get over the top of my head and drop acorns and I’m happy. Or I can watch the little birds flutter around on a limb and play with their friends and I’m happy. It’s just, it’s alone time for me and I always, you know, there’s, I always let deer walk that you know that are small, that are not of age. Bucks that are not three and four years old. You know, if they’re one two and three, I probably let them walk and go until they’re four and five years old. You know because I don’t want to cull my herd and let the young one’s get bigger. The thing is, it’s getting closer to nature. It’s getting me time. It’s getting time to enjoy what God has put on this earth to give us to enjoy.
Well, first, I got to tell you, I’m worried. I’m really worried. I’m worried about the future of our great tradition of hunting. And it goes beyond our ability to have things like guns and all of that because I really believe that while that is a very important fight, and we’re fighting it well, I believe that long before we lose the ability to keep and bear arms we may lose, if not the ability to hunt, the societal desire to continue hunting.
Same way with the cameras, it’s something that’s not normally there, it’s out of their element. They’re not used to it and I’ve seen deers slowly shy away from them. The season comes and their testosterone levels change and things like that. You know, it’s just like in late September it’s like those bucks just flip a switch and they go from daytime deer to nocturnal. You know, they do the same thing on cameras.
Well, I started out many, many years ago with some of the first. They weren’t even cameras. They were trail timers, and you had to put a piece of string across the trail and it tripped. And I started even before that time, with photography. I had trip cameras, my Nikons. I would put those on bear baits or elk trails, or waterholes, and rig them up to where the trip string [inaudible 00:15:29]. And I had a mouse trap with electrical coil. Pull the string, it would set the mouse trap off, which would close the circuit and take a picture. That was many, many, years ago. That was back before there was such a thing as trail camera. And then the first thing that came out was with trail timer. And I started using those. There was a couple of them that you just got one picture, break the string, tell you what time the deer had come.
I would try, if I didn’t have somebody that I knew of associated with WomensOutdoorNews.com, I would try and get online and find some good local organizations to match her up with. The columnists and the ladies involved with women’s outdoor news are from all over the U.S., so there’s a good chance we might have somebody in that area and if we don’t, well there’s lots of avenues we can search for somebody that would be willing to help her.
Well, we’re actually on a featured, one of the small groups that are featured on a show called The Search. It’s on the Pursuit Channel through either Dish or DirectTV, and it’s eight teams vying for a spot, for their own spot, on the Pursuit Channel. so it’s a reality TV show contest. So last night was the second week of the search but it was our first time being featured on there for a video. So our show aired last night. We had a nice watch party and it went really, really well. We had some great sponsors like Moultrie, and Horny Buck Seed Company and those on the social media side, they really shared our page and got us a lot of votes and we’re in it to win it. We’ve got like 12 more weeks and we’ll see who the winner is.
Leah: Yeah. So, my dad is a teacher, and his student got something called “Hunt of a Lifetime.” It’s kind of like Make a Wish, but for people who love hunting. So I got chosen for a Hunt of a Lifetime, and we talked to this lady named Tina and some other people, and they really helped us out. They gave us a lot of information, and they told us that they would send us up to Quebec on a caribou and black bear hunt.
So we went up there to the Leaf River Lodge. It’s the farthest north that you can get pretty much in Quebec. Remi, our guide, really helped us about a lot too. Without him, we would have never gotten the experience that we got, with the black bear and caribou.
Kip Adams: I would encourage all deer hunters out there to go and download our whitetail report.
My first deer camp, that’s interesting. That would have been, I wasn’t 12 years old, that was the actual age for being able to hunt. When I was a kid one of my dad’s rules was you had to work in the summer and earn enough money doing construction to earn your deer rifle before you could go deer hunting, so it took me a while to do that. My first deer camp was in northern Wisconsin, I believe in 1983, I could be wrong on the year, but it was a traditional deer camp, uncles, brothers, cousins, all jammed into a very small little one room cabin. It was everything that anybody can think of when you think of the classic deer camp, waking up early in the morning, huge breakfast, everybody going out and basically, to be honest not really knowing what we were doing.
