Some hunts go exactly how you drew them up. Others kick you square in the teeth. On this episode of the HuntStand Podcast, Josh Dahlke and Will Cooper look back at their hunting season from last fall and winter and unpack the moments that defined it. They revisit the highlights, punched tags, close calls, unexpected turns, hard lessons, and the hunts that still sting months later. From the moments you wish you could relive to the ones you'd probably like a do-over on, it's a look back at the reality of a full hunting season. The good. The bad. The gut punches. And the stories that make you ready to do it all over again.

Can hunters actually influence the genetics of a free-ranging whitetail herd? Biologists often say no—but Bill Winke sees it differently. In this episode of Deer Dirt, Bill shares what he’s experienced firsthand and why he believes genetics can be influenced in wild deer. It’s a controversial topic, and we’re diving straight into the debate.

Designing a deer property isn’t just about attracting more deer—it’s about being able to hunt them without blowing the place up. On this episode of Deer Dirt, Bill Winke breaks down how to design your property for low-impact hunting, including smart access, food plot placement, and setups that keep pressure to a minimum while putting you in position when it matters most.

When it comes to food plot strategy, you need to consider whether you’re making the property ideal for the deer or ideal for you. Stressed deer are harder to kill and spreading them out also makes them harder to kill, but is an over abundance of food better for the deer? You might not need as much deer food as biologists suggest.FOLLOW JOSH & WILL: Josh: https://www.instagram.com/josh.j.dahlke/ Will: https://www.instagram.com/willtcooper/ DOWNLOAD HUNTSTAND https://www.huntstand.com/subscriptions/ HUNTSTAND FIELD NOTES https://www.huntstand.com/fieldnotes/ GET SOCIAL: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/huntstand/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HuntStand TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@huntstandofficial Learn more about your ad choices.

Alfalfa may be the gold standard for whitetail nutrition, but it's not always practical for a food plot. In this episode of Deer Dirt, Bill Winke shares three of his favorite food sources that are easier to grow, highly attractive to deer, and proven to keep whitetails coming back season after season. Whether you're planting your first plot or improving an existing one, this episode is packed with practical food plot advice to help you grow better habitat and hunt smarter.
