Episode 221
Tuesday, 22 July, 2025
Send us a textThe countdown to hunting season is officially underway, and the excitement is building among the Boondocks Hunting team. As summer heat bears down, the crew gathers to welcome newest team member Zach and share their pre-season preparations, challenges, and expectations.The conversation kicks off with a deep dive into the annual Boondocks Hunting competition—a months-long friendly tournament running from September through February that assigns point values to different game animals with various bonuses for antler size, weight, and more. With a modest $30 buy-in and an emphasis on ethical hunting practices, this competition has become a cornerstone of community building among the team. Past champion Brad holds a two-time winning streak that everyone's eager to break this season.Summer scouting reports reveal fascinating patterns emerging in this unusually hot and rainy year. While mineral sites are showing heavy activity with impressive ground depressions, target buck sightings remain surprisingly scarce compared to previous seasons. The team theorizes that high corn and bean fields are providing ample cover, temporarily changing movement patterns compared to last year's drought conditions. Trail cameras are capturing more bears than mature bucks, suggesting this season may unfold differently than anticipated.The extreme weather conditions are creating unique challenges—from encounters with rattlesnakes and wasp nests to sinking knee-deep in flooded terrain. These stories of outdoor mishaps provide both laughs and valuable lessons about respecting the unpredictability of nature. The group shares their concerns about early season hunting conditions, predicting higher mosquito pressure and changed deer movement patterns due to abundant natural water sources.Join us for this pre-season conversation that captures the anticipation, brotherhood, and challenges that make hunting about so much more than just the harvest.
