  • On this episode of Michigan Wild, Nate and Drew Halser sit down and recap their season. Drew and Nate have both had similar experiences this fall. Both guys ended up punching their Kansas tags this year while still finding themselves holding onto their Michigan buck tags. Not only do they have their tags, but the target bucks they were chasing got shot by neighbors. Having a target buck harvested by a neighbor isn't a new thing, but it is always difficult to deal with. Nate and Drew both agree that trusting the process and sticking to their goals will pay off in the long run. The mere fact that they both have higher age class bucks to even chase is a win in their book and is a testament to all the hard work and dedication put forth each year.

    Kansas was good to Nate and Drew this fall as they each filled their buck tags. Drew took a slightly different approach with scouting on this out of state hunt and it sure paid off. Drew had multiple encounters with shooter bucks and ultimately sealed the deal after a rollercoaster of a hunt. Nate and Drew both emphasized the importance of tackling a wide area/variety of properties as a team on this trip. By combining all the data learned through scouting and deer sightings it really helped both guys kill their Kansas bucks.

    Rounding out the episode both guys are optimistic that they can get on a target buck these last few weeks of season. There are some great opportunities left and the plans are already in place to have a steller fall in 2025.

Bryan and Nate flipped roles which led to some great questions and a deep dive into ground hunting, scouting, and finding a spot to hunt out of state.

    In this episode Nate emphasized the importance of being prepared with a bow while scouting, understanding wind direction, and adapting to different terrains. All these things helped lead to his success by allowing him to understand unfamiliar places while getting a feel for deer activity in each given area. Nate also shares his thrilling experience on the hunt for his buck, detailing the anticipation leading up to the shot, the aftermath of a missed opportunity, and the emotional journey of tracking the deer.

  • On this episode of Michigan Wild, Nate Rozeveld and Bryan Meyering once again sit down and discuss an awesome buck Bryan shot down in Ohio. Bryan has been hunting out of state in Ohio for the last 4 years and finally connected on his first out of state buck. Going out of state with friends and trying to hunt in a landscape unfamiliar to their home state of Michigan always comes with challenges. Staying persistent and really learning how deer use a particular landscape helped Bryan find success down in Ohio.

    It took 3 previous years of scouting more than hunting and not settling for the lack of deer activity for Bryan to find this particular set up. It had a few factors that keyed him onto this area and warranted him to throw a sit or 2 at it. Even with the spot being really close to a road he still felt like it was a good play for the 1st sit of his trip. Shortly into his rutcation Bryan connected on his 1st out of state buck!

    Rounding out the episode Bryan and Nate recap their season in Michigan. Both guys have had some really good bucks killed by neighbors, cars, or family members. They are both attempting to locate and find other potential shooters and are not sleeping on the month of December to potentially have some good opportunities!

  • On this episode of Michigan Wild, Nate is solo once again recapping the last 2 weeks of his season. These 2 weeks included opening day of Michigan's firearm season and his trip out to Kansas. Opening day of Michigan's rifle season is something that Nate and his son Henry have been enjoying for many years. Especially now that Henry has his own tag in his pocket and has been finding his own success the last 2 falls. This year Henry had a doe tag in his pocket and was able to fill that tag on a beautiful doe. Once again making memories to last a lifetime.

    After Henry's tag was punched the next priority was Kansas for Nate. That included leaving the house at 2am and heading west. Kansas was the adventure that Nate looks forward to every fall when he travels out of state chasing whitetails. Through the episode Nate breaks down his thoughts and how the trip played out for him, including all the mistakes and success he faced. Nate breaks down every day of hunting and scouting along with every encounter he had on this trip. Kansas was unlike any other place he has hunted with a wide variety of diversity and difficult terrain.

    Overall opening day of rifle was a huge success and so was the trip to Kansas for Nate. These are the moments that guys work so hard for and they go by so quickly every fall. The season isn't over yet and Nates got 3 buck tags he is still looking to fill!

  • On this episode of Michigan Wild, host Nate Rozeveld welcomes Jake Bollinger, a passionate hunter and habitat manager. They discuss the excitement surrounding the upcoming gun season, family traditions related to hunting, and the importance of processing deer personally. The conversation shifts to hunting access, land management strategies, and the significance of creating wildlife-friendly habitats. They also explore deer movement patterns, the use of technology in habitat management, and the value of community knowledge sharing in hunting. The episode continues with a captivating story about Jake's buck from the current season, which was shot in late October after making an aggressive move because the farmer drove by on a UTV.

    Jake knew about this buck and was able to put the puzzle pieces together by finding scrapes and understanding how deer like to bed on his property. After making the shot the recovery was unique and Jake was in uncharted territory after not hitting the buck ideal. He discussed the challenge of tracking and recovering his deer, particularly after a gut shot, and how waiting until the following morning was critical to recovering his deer.

    Overall you can sense the passion Jake has for hunting and improving the landscape. He isn't afraid of some sweat equity and is always learning and attempting new strategies. He is very relatable to the majority of hunters who find themselves hunting the family farm or own their small piece of heaven. Leaving behind the property better than he found it is the driving force and he is already looking forward to starting habitat improvements this upcoming year.

  • On this episode of Michigan WIld Nate and returning guest Cam Carpenter dive into the success story of Cam's 2024 archery buck. Cam is no stranger to shooting above average bucks in Michigan even at his young age. He has tagged multiple mature deer and enjoys the process and the challenge it offers each year.

    Even though this buck was shot during the October lull, this story starts over the summer. Cam gained access to a new property and had no idea what to expect. While expectations were soon set shortly after deploying cams as multiple bucks showed up and stayed leading up to October 1st.

    As the first few weeks of the season progressed Cam had multiple encounters with this deer. He stayed persistent and stuck to his game plan. Every encounter Cam continued to learn more about the buck and how he used the property. All that came together on October 17th when Cam shot his October Lull Buck!

  • On this episode of Michigan WIld, Nate Rozeveld is solo this week. Nate takes the opportunity to do a season update and break down some of his hunts where he saw target deer and discuss the Recurve Debacle. The fall of 2024 has been exciting and challenging for Nate. He has had multiple encounters with target deer every week of October so far. Each encounter has been under different circumstances and yet to reveal a punched tag.

    Facing different crop rotations and an influx of deer density has been part of the challenge and has found Nate hunting multiple October mornings. The morning of the 25th proved to be the start of the Debacle. Nate goes into detail of the hunt and the decisions that lead to the tree he found himself in and what ultimately led to a shot on a buck with his recurve.

    The story didn't end with a grip and grin, however Nate still has the desire and confidence to continue hunting with his recurve. October is almost to a close with some good hunts left. Nate will continue to make strategic moves to get in front of a target deer or kill a whitetail with his recurve.

  • On this week of The Last 7 Days, Shane Loney joins Nate Rozeveld to recap the 3rd week of Michigan's archery season. Shane's fall started with a hiccup as he had an accident while setting a treestand. After some surgery and having his thumb wrapped and splint he hasn't let that slow him down. Fortunately he is still able to shoot his bow, and has some great friends that have helped him set stands and make strategic moves.

    Up until this point of the season both guys talk about their personal experiences with seeing some great deer and having some solid sits that just haven't had the desirable outcomes. Nate feels he was just too passive on a few sits and it cost him an opportunity at a target buck. Shane has been getting some daylight pictures of his target deer, but hasn't found himself quite there yet either.

    However both Nate and Shane are eagerly anticipating the upcoming cold front paired with the later part of October. This is when both guys move into targeting specific transition areas next to bedding and feel it's a great opportunity to catch a mature buck on his feet, either in the morning or evening.

  • On this episode of Michigan Wild, Nate and Brad Speet kick off The Last 7 Days wk2. Brad found himself wrapping his tag around his first public land archery buck. Brad is a part of the Half Ass Hunting podcast and previously joined Michigan Wild talking about salmon fishing earlier this fall. Not only does Brad get after the fish, he also is torn up with whitetail hunting. Recapping the last 7 days of October found both guys having some great hunts, even leading up into the "October Lull". Nate discusses a few of his hunts that have produced some great up and coming bucks, just not the target deer in bow range. Brad was actually able to shoot his buck October 15th and took advantage of being mobilbe, not relying on trail cams, and hunting the sign, not where he felt he had to be.

    The way Brad hunted this buck down was inspiring and a great story. From watching the deer get out of his bed and proceed to within bow range was the sum of all the hard work, dedication to learning, and not being afraid to try new tactics. The 2nd week of October is behind us and both guys are looking forward to the next week. Nate is still searching for a deer to target and Brad has a solid play on some deer he has history with. Everyday that ticks by leads to some of the best hunting opportunities for the fall.

  • On this episode of Michigan WIld Nate and Gideon Montgomery have a great conversation focused on chasing whitetails on public land. Gideon has a great story. He didn't grow up in a hunting family, so he cut his teeth learning how to hunt whitetails on public land in Michigan. He was fortunate enough to have a few mentors that pointed him in the right direction and he has continued to put in the time and effort to get better every fall. Gideon enjoys filling the freezer every year and admits that he has a hard time passing a good doe.

    Along with starting whitetail hunting he also found himself going out west his second season of hunting. There is a parallel to how Gideon hunts today that reflects the early years of western hunting and his desire to always go on an adventure. Public land has never intimidated him and he knows that effort and desire can lead to more success. Strolling into a piece of public he has never hunted and the adventure that waits is what he seeks each fall.

Robert along with Nate has been on deer and even bloodied 2 arrows on public land deer. His family does a camp every fall and as a camp they harvested 4 deer. Robert breaks down his kills and the enjoyment he finds experiencing a bow camp every year.

  • On this episode of Michigan Wild, Nate Rozeveld and Kevin Vistisen dive into the world of deer hunting, sharing personal stories about youth hunting experiences, the importance of quality butchers, and the dynamics of hunting on public versus private land. They discuss the evolution of hunting techniques, the role of ground blinds, and the significance of tradition in hunting culture. Kevin also shares insights from his podcasting journey (Deer Hunter Podcast) and the innovations in deer hunting products (DH3), while expressing his future goals in hunting and the importance of community in the hunting world.

    Kevin's company DH3 is a synthetic scrape system that has a proven track record. Nate has been using the product the last two years with great success. Making mock scrapes is another tool in the arsenal that can help fellow deer hunters getting deer into bow range. This applies to the avid hunter looking to tag a mature buck or a new hunter looking to punch their first tag. Kevin also is launching a new camo pattern and that presale is going live in the upcoming weeks.
