In this episode, Devin and Nate from Michigan-based hunting company Painted Arrow sit down with Josh Arbogast for a deep dive into the recent NRC meeting and the heated discussion around Michigan becoming a one buck state.

Josh, a vocal advocate for the one-buck rule, pulls back the curtain on the behind-the-scenes realities of the Natural Resources Commission and explains how hunting regulations actually get pushed through—or shut down—inside the system. The guys break down the results of the latest NRC meeting, what happened during the decision-making process, and what hunters should expect moving forward under the current administration.

This conversation covers everything from Michigan deer herd management and whitetail hunting regulations to hunter involvement, conservation policy, and the political side of wildlife management that most people never get to hear about. Whether you support the one buck rule or not, this episode is packed with insight into how Michigan hunting laws are shaped and why hunters need to stay involved if they want a voice in the future of the sport.

In this episode, Nate and Devin are back behind the mic giving a good old-fashioned farm update on their hunting properties in Southern Michigan. Both farms are 40-acre, long and skinny pieces, which makes things interesting when you’re trying to figure out how to consistently hunt mature whitetails without blowing the whole place out.They talk through what they’ve been working on lately—from habitat improvements and food plots to access, pressure, and the extensive storm damage that this year brought. It’s a real, no-BS look at what’s working, what’s not, and what they’re planning to tweak heading into the season.If you’re dealing with small acreage or just enjoy hearing a couple of Michigan hunters break down real-world whitetail strategy, this one’s for you. It’s equal parts hunting talk, lessons learned, and a little back-and-forth that’ll feel like you’re sitting in the room with them.

In this episode, Nate, Devin, and Trav sit down to break down the latest Michigan Natural Resources Commission (NRC) meeting and the major hunting regulation changes currently being proposed across the state.

From the push toward a potential one buck rule, to discussions around antler point restrictions (APR) and the controversial idea of eliminating the rifle line, the guys walk through what was actually said at the meeting—and what it could mean for the future of deer hunting in Michigan.

They also dive into their personal takes on each proposal, the potential impact on the Michigan deer herd, and why it’s more important than ever for hunters to stay informed and involved in the decision-making process.

Whether you’re for these changes, against them, or still on the fence, this episode gives you the context you need to understand what’s happening—and what could be coming next.
