This is a podcast for the obsessed, and life changing habits needed to take deer with a bow every season! We talk about the techniques that we have used over the last twenty five plus years to take great bucks on film with bows. We will give you information on land layouts, tips like mock scrapes, food plotting, timberstand improvement. Things we have used to take well over two hundred plus deer on film over the years. We came up with this idea to help everyone become a more effective hunter, and to help boost your success in the woods. We are looking forward to helping everyone to have a more fulfilling hunt at every level. Our back ground we have worked in the hunting industry in many levels for over 25yrs. We did the TV thing we worked for Summit treestands on their TV show Summit high place for years. When they sold the company we moved on to our own company RushOutdoorswi, then the Obsession TV which allot of you watched on the hunt channel. Our show The whitetail Obsession was quite popular. When we seen how the decline of the shows at that level was changing, and not representing the everyday hunter we started RushOutdoorswi YouTube channel. A channel for real hunts with well over three hundred hunts it has become quite popular also. We thank all of you for the success. Thank You! We have now been asked to do podcasts on many different aspects of hunting, and to share our 25 plus years each of hunting knowledge to help everyone become a better hunters. We believe that we can help more people become successful at this level, and are excited about this new venture. We are excited to hear your questions, and give you the answers that we believe will help you get the buck of a lifetime!

  • The contradiction of letting deer grow and holding them on small properties s4e51
    2025/12/20

    The Core Contradiction of letting deer grow and holding them on small properties? The conflict lies between the goal of growing mature bucks and the reality of small property limitations.

    "Letting Them Grow" (The Goal):

    To harvest mature bucks (often 3.5 to 5.5+ years old), you have to pass on younger bucks.

    The mantra is "Let them go, so they can grow."

    This requires a long-term investment of time and restraint. "Holding Them" (The Problem):

    Home Range vs. Property Size: A mature whitetail buck's home range is typically much larger (often 640+ acres or a square mile) than most small hunting properties (e.g., 20, 40, or 80 acres).

    The Risk: You cannot physically "hold" a free-ranging buck on a small property 100% of the time. When you "let him grow" and he wanders off your property (which he inevitably will to feed or breed), he is at risk of being harvested by neighbors who may not share your management goals.

    The Paradox: By improving your land to hold more deer, you may attract more bucks, but you also risk feeding and housing them only for them to get shot the moment they cross your fence line.

    Common Discussion Points on This Topic

    Becoming the "Core" Area: Accepting that you can't hold a deer 24/7, but striving to be the place where he spends his daylight hours (bedding) or feels safest.

    The Sanctuary Concept: Designating a large percentage of a small property as a "no-go" zone for humans so deer feel virtually unpressured, encouraging them to stay during daylight.

    Neighborhood Co-ops: Trying to build relationships with neighbors to get everyone on the same page about age-structure goals (though this is often difficult).

    Attraction vs. Pressure: The balance of improving habitat (food plots, timber stand improvement) without pressuring the deer off the property with too much human activity.

  • The self-defined 'hunter' versus 'killer' labels on social media
    2025/12/18

    "We discuss the self-defined 'hunter' versus 'killer' labels on social media. Honestly people, what the hell is with the killer labels in social media? The word 'killer' should never be associated with hunters or hunting. A killer is in jail! A good hunter is a totally different thing!

    The guys talk about this label that many hunters nowadays think is a sign of excellence. In reality, it's disrespectful to hunters in general and makes us all look bad in the public eye. Being a good hunter starts with respect for the game you are hunting. We talk about excitement, respect, and remorse—the three main things we think every hunter in the world experiences with the harvest of any animal he or she pursues.

    As always, we want to hear your thoughts. Leave them right here in the comments. We appreciate each of you! Have a great week and good luck out there if you are still hitting it hard." #theobsessionpodcast #hunting #deerhunting #outdoorlife #bowlife #hunting #landmanagement #huntingtips #whitetailhunting #whitetailhunting #huntingtips #outdoorlife #huntingethics #rushoutdoorswi #iamatthegymwhereareyou #iaminthewoodswhereareyou #bowandarrow
