In this explosive episode of The Dreaded Archer Podcast, Trey sits down with motivation speaker and hard-hunting truth-teller Dean Harvey for one of the most controversial conversations in the outdoor world today.

Dean has gone viral for calling out what he sees as the real problems in modern hunting from ego-driven trophy photos and fake “big buck” angles to hunters prioritizing clout, views, and social media influence over fair chase and real woodsmanship.

Together, Trey and Dean dive into:
• The difference between hunting and just killing
• The rise of food plots, corn feeders, and “easy button” hunting
• How ego, arrogance, and social media are reshaping the hunting industry
• Why today’s trophy photos look nothing like they did 20 years ago
• Dean’s viral take on hunters standing 20 feet behind their buck to make it look bigger
• How he harvested a mature buck downwind at 7 yards
• Why Dean doesn’t play the wind and still smokes his clothes a method passed down from his grandfather
• The future of whitetail hunting, bowhunting culture, and outdoor authenticity
• Why most hunters would choose a viral video over $10,000 cash and what that says about where the community is heading
• How faith keeps Dean grounded in a world full of noise, opinions, and online backlash

If you’re passionate about bowhunting, whitetail hunting, improving your woodsmanship, or understanding the truth behind the outdoor industry, this is an episode you can’t afford to skip.
