The Whitetail season has just come to end and we are all suddenly finding ourselves sitting at home wondering what to do next. Well boy do we have some good news for you -- Its time to start getting ready for the next whitetail season.

We're stoked to have Austin Stone back on the podcast to help guide us through what we should be focusing on in the off season and how to better manage your deer and property. Understanding where to place stands, climbers, food plots, and everything else can help you attract and keep deer on your land. Austin Stone is an expert in everything that is whitetail habitat management and this is an episode you should not skip.

Do y'all see that? Looks like a wild Kerri is back from whichever sabbatical he was taking this time.

Welcome back to another episode of the Hunt Lift Eat podcast. This week we are focusing on off-season prep - specifically the things we can be doing to get ready for next deer season. Take note of what worked this past season, what didn't work, and start to create a plan to mitigate those risks. It can be physical, spiritual, picking your bow up more, learning more about feeding patterns, and so much more. The important thing to do is address those weaknesses rather than ignoring them.

You never forget that first deer. Everyone has the story and cannot help but smile when they recount the moment. This week, Carter is at the helm and is joined by our podcast manager, Cole, and have their good friend Keenan on the podcast to talk about his first deer that he shot this past season. Spoiler alert - He got a dandy of a buck. Probably the biggest deer that most of us have seen let alone have been successful in shooting. A nice 10 point and big bodied Georgia whitetail - one that any of us would proudly mount on the wall and recant for the rest of our lives.
